05-05-2016 DARK NECESSITIES
di Mouse, Kiedis, Smith, Klinghoffer, Flea
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
Coming out to the light of day
We got many moons that are deep at play
So I keep an eye on the shadow’s smile
To see what it has to say
You and I both know
Everything must go away
Ah, what do you say?
Spinning knot that is on my heart
It’s like a bit of light and a touch of dark
You got sneak attacked from the zodiac
But I see your fire spark
Eat the breeze and go
Blow by blow and go away
Oh, what do you say?
Yeah, you don’t know my mind
You don’t know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design and
Tell the world that I’m falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Stumble down to the parking lot
You got no time for the afterthought
They’re like ice cream for an astronaut
Well that’s me looking for we
Turn the corner and
Find the world at your command
Playing the hand…

01-05-1972 TAKE IT EASY
di Browne, Frey
EAGLES
Well, I’m runnin’ down the road tryna loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
One says she’s a friend of mine
Take it easy
Take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me
Come on, baby
Don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in
So take it easy…
