BREAD
01-BABY I’M-A WANT YOU – C1 Sol M
Bread
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one
I care enough
to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light
to help me through
my darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
02-DISMAL DAY – Sol M
Bread
I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me
that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people
that I knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
CHORUS
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best I lay my hopes
to rest for no one's calling my name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
CHORUS
03-IF – La M
Bread
If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can't i paint you?
the words will never show
the you i've come to know.
if a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am i to go?
there's no one home but you,
you're all that's left me too.
and when my love for life is running dry,
you come and pour yourself on me.
If a man could be two places at one time,
i'd be with you.
tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
if the world should stop revolving spinning
slowly down to die,
i'd spend the end with you.
and when the world was through,
then one by one the stars would all go out,
then you and i would simply fly away
04-GUITAR MAN – Sol M
Bread
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
baby it's the guitar man
who's gonna steal the show
you know, baby, it's the guitar man
He can make you love
he can make you cry
he will bring you down
then he'll get you high
somethin' keeps him goin'
miles and miles a day
to find another place to play
Night after night who treats you right
baby, it's the guitar man
who's on the radio
you go listen to the guitar man
and you see his face
and you think you might
like to take his place
somethin' keeps him driftin'
miles and miles away
searchin' for the songs to play
*Then you listen to the music
and you sing along
you want to get the meaning
out of each and ev'ry song
then you find yourself a message
and some words to call your own
and take them home
---instrumental interlude---
*He can make you love
he can get you high
he will bring you down
then he'll make you cry
somethin' keeps him movin'
but no one seems to know
what it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker
and the sound is getting dim
the voice begins to falter
and the crowds are getting thin
but he never seems to notice
he's just got to find
another place to play
Either way
got to play either way …got to play
05-EVERYTHING I OWN – La M
Bread
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give anything I own
And give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you
You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
Would give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you
back again
Is there someone you know?
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
And I would give anything I own
Will give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you
back again
Just to touch you
06-TRUCKIN’ – La M
Bread
Truckin' down the highway
Get outta my way
Always in a hurry
Always in between
That's where you can find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the cab of
A ten ton machine
Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
In old run down cafes
Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Gonna make some inroads
Drivin' home a payload
Truckin' down the highway
Like you never seen
07-THE LAST TIME – Re M
Bread
Hey, didn't you believe me when I told you I was leavin'?
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believin'
I'm tellin' you now like I told you before
That love has got to be somethin' more
Than a past time, this is the last time
This is the last time
that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
Well, didn't you believe it when I said you don't know how to love me?
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago
That time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time
CHORUS
Whatcha gonna do when nights are gettin' colder, baby?
Where ya gonna go, you know you're gettin' older, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
Whatcha gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby?
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-gettin' younger, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another past time
Judgin' from the past, I know it won't be the last time
This is the last time
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
08-MOTHER FREEDOM – Sol M
Bread
Freedom - keep walkin'
Keep on your toesand don't stop talkin' 'bout
Freedom - get goin'
Lots to be learned and lots to be knowin' 'bout
People - gotta reach 'em
Sit 'em right down and then
you gotta teach 'em 'bout
Freedom - gotta win it
Gotta put yourself smack dab in it
Hey tomorrow
Now don't you go away
'Cause freedom
Just might come your way
Freedom - keep tryin'
People stay alive and people keep dyin' for
Freedom - so don't lose it
Ya gotta understand ya just can't abuse it
09-DOWN ON MY KNEES – Fa# m
Bread
I told you before
don't you hear what I say
I won't take it no more
no more makin' me stay
Down on my knees
you know I'm down on my knees yeh
Yes I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
I won't get back on my knees.
Nobody knows

Nobody knows
if it's worth it for you
Nobody sees

Well I've been down on my knees
And I'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
You know how I always loved you
Never placed myself above you,
Don't let me go
if I wish that I could
Don't tell me no
if I wish that you would
Down on my knees
you know I'm down on my knees
Well I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees
You know how I always loved you
Never placed myself above you,
---guitar break---
Down on my knees
you know I'm down on my knees
Well I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees10-LONDON BRIDGE – Mi M
Bread
I know the times the times are hard to bear
It's hard to find someone to really care
But before I went down and out
Here's what I used to think about,
think about:
London Bridge is always fallin' down,
But there it stood within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life
behind and life to come
The changes taking place are everywhere
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Watch the writing on the wall,
on the wall
London Bridge is fallin' down at last,
And so another memory of the past
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon
the dead may be repaid
I know things just can't evolve
for all eternity
The thoughts will leave, will never die,
and now so you can see
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
And though the horror's gone,
the memory will linger on
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It used to stand within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life
behind and life to come
London Bridge is finally fallin' down.....
