THE TRAVELIN' WILBURYS
01-CONGRATULATIONS – Do M
Travelin’ Wilburys
(Chorus 1)
congratulations
for breaking my heart
congratulations
for tearing it all apart
congratulations
you finally did succeed
congratulations
for leaving me in need
This morning i looked out my window and found
a bluebird singing but there was no one around
at night i lay alone in my bed
with an image of you goin' around in my head
(chorus 2)
congratulations
for bringing me down
congratulations
now i'm sorrow bound
congratulations
you got a good deal
congratulations
I guess that i must have loved you more
than i ever knew
my would is empty now
cause it don't have you
and if i had just one more chance
to wind your heart again
i would do things differently
but what's the use to pretend
(chorus 3)
congratulations
for making me wait
congratulations
now it's too late
congratulations
you came out on top
congratulations
02-END OF THE LINE – Re M
Travellin’ Wilburys
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
well it's all right, if you live the life you please
well it's all right, doing the best you can
well it's all right, as long as you lend hand
you can sit around and wait
for the phone to ring,
(at the end of the line)
waiting for someone to tell you everything,
(at the end of the line)
sit around and wonder what tomorrow'd bring,
(at the end of the line)
maybe a diamond ring.
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
well it's all right, as long as you got someone to lay
well it's all right, every day is just one day
maybe somewhere down the road a way,
(at the end of the line)
you'll think of me and wonder where i am these days,
(at the end of the line)
maybe somewhere down the road when someone plays,
(at the end of the line)
purple haze.
Well it's all right, even if push comes to shove
well it's all right, if you got someone to love
well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
don't have to be ashamed of the car i drive,
(at the end of the line)
i'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive,
(at the end of the line)
and it don't matter if you're by my side,
(at the end of the line)
i'm satisfied.
Well it's all right, even if push comes to shove
well it's all right, if you got someone to love
well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
03-HANDLE ME WITH CARE – Re M
Travellin’ Wilburys
Been beat up and battered 'round
been sent up, and i've been shot down
you're the best thing that i've ever found
handle me with care.
Reputations changeable
situations tolerable
baby, you're adorable
handle me with care.
i'm so tired of being lonely
i still have some love to give
won't you show me
that you really care
(bridge)
everybody's got somebody to lean on
put your body next to mine, and dream on
I've been fobbed off, and i've been fooled
i've been robbed and ridiculed
in day care centers and night schools
handle me with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
sent to meetings, hypnotized
overexposed, commercialized
hand me with care
i'm so tired of being lonely
i still have some love to give
won't you show me
that you really care
(bridge)
I've been uptight and made a mess
but i'll clean it up myself, i guess
oh, the sweet smell of success
handle me with care
04-HEADING FOR THE LIGHT – Si M
Travellin’ Wilburys
I've wandered around
with nothing more than time on my hands
i was lost in the night with no sight of you
and at times it was so blue and lonely
heading for the light
Been close to the edge,
hanging by my fingernails
i've rolled and i've tumbled
through the roses and the thorns
and i couldn't see the sign
that warned me, i'm
heading for the light
(bridge 1)
ooh - i didn't see that big black cloud
hanging over me
and when the rain came down
i was nearly drowned
i didn't know the mess i was in
My shoes are wearing out
from walking down this same highwayi don't see nothing new
but i feel a lot of change
and i get the strangest feeling,
as i'm heading for the light
(bridge 2)
ooh - my hands were tired
jokers and fools on either side
but still i kept on
till the worst had gone
now i see the hole i was in
My shoes are wearing out
from walking down this same highway
i don't see nothing new
but i feel a lot of change
and i get the strangest feeling, as i'm
heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, i ain't never looking back
all the dreams are coming true
as i think of you
now there's nothing in the way
to stop me
heading for the light
Now there's nothing in the way
05-SOMEONE TO LEAN ON – C1 Si M
Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
(Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Second Verse
(Chorus)
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
(Chorus)
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (call me)
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (if you ever need a friend)
Call me (call me)
Call me
Call me (if you need A friend)
06-NOT ALONE – Re M
Traveling Willburys
Verse 1:
You always said that I'd be back again
That I'd come running to you in the end
I thought that you were on your own
And now I find you're not alone
Chorus:
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone
any more
Verse 2:
You always said that I
would know someday
Just how it feels when
your love walks away
I let you down I let you go
I lost you, how was I to know
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone
any more
Verse 3:
I never knew I could feel this way
I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone
I feel it too, you're not alone
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone
any more
