John Mayall 1969
1. Don't Waste My Time
Tell me woman
Who you're with tonight
If you're on your own
Then that's allright
But if you don't want me with you
Don't Waste My Time with your jive
In this big city
I'm high and dry-
I just can't make out
Though I try
So if you don't want me with you
Don't Waste My Time with your jive
Do you have a place
where we could go?
Or does your mother
want you home?
Don't Waste My Time
I don't have long
It's hard to find a woman
When you know you'll soon be gone
So break the rules
And tell me "yes"
I'll prove to you
That love is best
But if you don't want me with you
Don't Waste My Time with your jive
2. Plan For Revolution
Establishment doctrine
in the USA
Make you very uptight
You don't want
Anybody standing in your way
Plan Your Revolution
But you mustn't fail
Examine eyery angle
Or you'll find the power people
Putting you in jail
Because the old ones
Are going to put you down
They want the longhairs out of town
They've forgotten they were rebels too
Fighting for freedom back in '42
But how will you be feeling
Twenty years from now
When all your sons and daughters
Will be criticising you
For the things you do?
Keep your head together
Accept reality
Don't become a druggie
Unless you're
too weak to face responsibility
Take initial action
Show them you are fair
Show them you're constructive
Abide by the laws
Or you will be nowhere
Tell the old ones what has got to be
Point the finger-
It's up to you and me
Get the nation aware of what is wrong
We need to feel
We've got a home where we belong
So study your behavior
Before you criticise
You'll need a lot of leaders
To clear away
Hypocrisy and wars and lies
Don't put off another day
What you could do today!
3. Don't Pick A Flower
4. Something New
When your head
I sin a tangle
You've got no eyes
To settle down
Check yourself
With an airline
Get your ticket
Out of town
And you'll be somewhere
Travelling on
Very soon
You'll be grooving into
Something New
And that's the way we are
Running wild in the wind
Be true to your feelings
See Something New
5. People Cling Together
6. Waiting For The Right Time
I'm waiting
for the right time
If we meet
I wonder what I'll find
It's all in my head
but I wish she could be mine
I'm hiding
all my love inside
It's hell to know
She doesn't know
but I wanna tell you
She drives me out of my mind
She drives me out of my mind
I'm waiting
for love to come my way
So I wrote her
a letter the other day
So many things
that I wanted to say
Maybe now
it may you go away
It's hell to ...
I'm waiting
how long's it gonna be
A face in the crowd
Does she ever notice me
We never met
so is she a fantasy
How can I know
I'll have to wait and see
It's hell to ...
7. Thinking Of My Woman
I'm sitting in my hotel room
Hoping that she loves me
Wishing I could see her soon
When I left my woman
Was it only yesterday?
Seems like so much longer
Since I had to go away
Parting at all airports
Make me feel I want to cry
When I left my woman
It hurt to have to say goodbye
Somewhere across the country
I wonder what she's doing now
I'm lonely for my woman
I must get her back somehow
8. Counting The Days
9. When I Go
10. Many Miles Apart
Here in New York City
I just can't wait to get back home
I know my baby's waiting
Because she told me on the phone
When I dialed her number
It felt so good to hear her voice
It made the distance shorter
I'd be straight home
If I had the choice
But it makes it not so bad
To be so Many Miles Apart
I'll be home before long
And then she'll satisfy my heart
11. To A Princess
We said goodbye to people and we’ve got one night to love
How shall we spend the hours before I go
We have a chance to tell each other how we really feel inside
So that when the night is over we will know
We’ll have a private banquet by the candlelight in bed
And I’ll treat you like a princess ‘cause you are
We watch the television though there’s nothing much to see
As long as we’re together I don’t care
When we met I never dreamed that things could get so beautiful
We’ve accomplished many things in months and days
Day, ev’ry day is so different from another as we play
To realize the way that love has changed our ways
I never saw you looking quite as pretty as tonight
Is it my imagination or for real
The only certain thing is that I’ll love you through the night
So that when I’ll leave you’ll know just how I feel about you
Don’t think about tomorrow, we should fill our hours with love
No words describe the magic ‘round our bed
We stumbled on perfection and it’s such a precious thing
We will know we’ve got each other and all is said
