You came in my home and took from me
All that I had to give
I thought that we would be good friends
For as long as we should live
I had some past experience with
People just like you
But I never thought you were that kind
So what was I to do
You were my friend, you were my friend
How can you stand and lie to me
And look me in the face
I wish I knew what strange disease
Could make you act that way
All the things we did together
I've known you for so long
I always did believe in you
How could I be so wrong?
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down? You were my friend
I guess for the sake of all we had
I should try to understand
But it just doesn't make much sense to me
To trust in you again
I wish we could forget it all
But I don't think that we can
Oh, why did this ever happen to us
My best and dearest friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down?
You were my friend
...Well, I guess that friendships
All come to an end.

The king and queen will dine tonight
She's beautiful by candlelight
Sedately seated at his right
Transfixed before the fight
Making jest he calls her name
Her eyebrows lift up in disdain
Now who could take the monarch's place
Ooh - - don't displease Her Grace.
'Cause she can tear down the castle
She can set the prisoners free
She can lead the ships to battle
Head her own monopoly
And everyone would follow
Dedicated to their queen
Dedicated to Her Majesty.
The jester needs material
The courtyard is his theatre
The best is yet to come if ear
Could penetrate the wall.
The throne room is a sacred place
Where common folk would hesitate
To dare incur her royal rage
Ooh - - King, make no mistake.
'Cause she can tear down the castle
She can set the prisoners free
She can lead the ships to battle
head her own monopoly
And everyone would follow
Dedicated to their queen
Dedicated to Her Majesty.
The king and queen will dine tonight
She's beautiful by candlelight
Sedately seated at his right
Transfixed post royal fight
Respectfully he calls her name
And regally she wears her fame
The monarch need not he replaced
The Queen has bid him stay.
She could tear down the castle
She could set the prisoners free
She could lead the ships to battle
Head her own monopoly
And everyone would follow
Dedicated to their queen
Dedicated to Her Majesty.

Got up this mornin
Made my bed
Sure feel hungry
For shortnin bread
Went to the cupboard, scratch my head
Guess its all gone, that shortnin bread.
Shortnin, shortnin, shortnin bread
Got no money, must get fed,
Just keep thinkin bout shortnin bread
Hound dog liked it, hound dog dead,
he couldnt stop eatin that shortnin bread.
Oh the shortnin, shortnin, shortnin bread
Back from the store, feel so glad,
Sit at the table, not so bad
Now my stomach feel like lead
Cause I done ate my shortnin bread
Shortnin, shortnin, shortnin bread
Oh the shortnin, shortnin, shortnin bread.

You are life to me
you're the light I see
love has come to me
through you
When I think of you
all I want to do
is just dream my life away
I need no other love
to keep me pleased and satisfied
I only need your love
to carry me through
You have shown the way
never let me stray
if I start to drift away
your love brings me back... to you

You don't have to carry much through life
It's much better when you travel light
Travel light, travel light, travel light,
That's right.
Someday you will surely come to know
I don't want to say I told you so
But it's true, yes it's true, oh it's true
It's true.
When you finally reach the upper floor
Take the key that opens up the door
Nothing more, nothing more, nothing more
What for?
You don't have to carry much through life
It's much better when you travel light
Travel light, travel light, travel light
That's right.

Born on the streets of the city
There's one thing you just gotta' know
If you want a chance for your survival
When life deals you down a heavy blow
Pick yourself off the ground
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't take it lying down,
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't throw it all away
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't let it bring you down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Sittin' and cryin' over your coffee
You've got blues for breakfast every day
You can't go on livin' just for the dying
When there's a much, much better way
Pick yourself off the ground,
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't take it Iyin' down,
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't throw it all away
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't let it bring you down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Get yourself up every mornin'
You may be happy, you may be sad
Sure as there's bound to be some good days
You know there's bound to be some bad
So pick yourself off the ground
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't take it Iyin' down,
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't throw it all away
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't let it bring you down
Kick back you've gotta' kick back

Sweet Christmas in the middle of May
Sun shinin' on a cold winter day
That's the way that I feel
Every time I'm with you
And I know that it's real
And I know that it's true
Ooh, how you move me
Ooh, how I feel inside
Ooh, how you move me
Bringing a change of mind
Leaving it all behind
Bad timing sent us separate ways
No crying, just a love that remains
Then you called out my name And I opened the door
And the feelin's the same
As it was once before
Ooh, how you move me
Ooh, how I feel inside
Ooh, how you move me
Slippin' away through time
Leaving it all behind.

Just to lay me down
An everybody ask me, Why

Well, its not easy

Someday my time to die will come.
When that will be, I do not know
I only know that when I have to go.
Yeah, when I go I wanna go
Just let me go Lord, when I go
Yeah, when I go Lord, let me goJust let me go like Elijah when I go
I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologizeJust let me go Lord when I go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go
I don't want no tombstone above my head
And I don't want no pinebox for my bed
And I don't want anyone to say I'm dead.
I don't want no one cryin'
Or feelin' sad
Or standin' in the rain without their hat
I wanna go up happy Imagine that
Yeah, when I go I wanna go
Just let me go -Lord, when I go,
Yeah, when I go Lord, let me go

Titre: "Go Like Elijah"
© Written by Chi Coltrane (1977)
Yesterday you were all alone
then you found somebody to love
so together, but then came bad weather
but try not to take it too hard
Cause time just goes, and before you know it
you're on the road to tomorrow
you'll laugh again and you'll love again
and you'll leave your worries behind
Sometimes you think that life's unfair
but it all works out in the end
you cry your heart out and that's when you find out
the sunshine comes after the rain
Cause time just goes and before you know it
you're on the road to tomorrow
you'll laugh again and you'll love again
and you'll leave your worries behind
Cause time just goes and before you know it
you're on the road to tomorrow
you'll laugh again and you'll love again
and you'll leave your worries behind

traduction
Un jour mon temps viendra,
Quand cela arrivera t-il, je l'ignore
mais je sais seulement que lorsque je devrai partir
Oui! quand je partirai Je veux partir
Laisse moi seulement partir Seigneur, lorsque je partirai
Oui! quand je partirai Seigneur, laisse moi partir
laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai
je veux m'élever directement vers le ciel
Et chevaucher des chevaux avec des yeux comme des flammes de feu
Seigneur, pardonne moi pour mes péchés,
laisse moi juste partir Seigneur, lorsque je partirai
Quand l'heure de partir pour moi surviendra
Laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai,
je ne veux point de pierre tombale au-dessus de ma tête
Et je ne veux point de cercueil en pin en guise de lit
Et je ne veux personne pour annoncer que je suis morte
Seigneur, quand je partirai Je veux partir
Laisse moi seulement partir lorsque je partirai
Oui! quand je partirai Seigneur, laisse moi partir
laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai
je veux m'élever directement vers le ciel
Et chevaucher des chevaux avec des yeux comme des flammes de feu
Seigneur, pardonne moi pour mes péchés
Laisse moi seulement partir, Seigneur lorsque je partirai
Quand mon temps viendra de partir
Laisse moi juste partir comme Elie quand je devrai partir...
Je ne veux aucune personne qui pleure
ou se sentir triste
ou se tenir sous la pluie sans chapeau
Je veux partir heureuse Imagine cela,
Oui! quand je partirai Je veux partir
Laisse moi seulement partir Seigneur, lorsque je partirai,
Oui! quand je partirai Seigneur, laisse moi partir
Laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai,
je veux m'élever directement vers le ciel
Et chevaucher des chevaux avec des yeux comme des flammes de feu
Seigneur, pardonne moi pour mes péchés
Laisse moi seulement partir, Seigneur lorsque je partirai
Quand mon temps viendra de partir
Laisse moi juste partir comme Elie quand je devrai partir...
Oui! quand je partirai Je veux partir
laisse moi seulement partir comme Elie lorsque je partirai
