lt's like a dream
To be with you again
Can't believe
That l'm with you again
l missed you
And l must admit
l kissed a few
And once did sit
On lvor
The Engine Driver's lap
And later with him
Had a nap
-You are forgiven
-You are forgiven

You are forgiven
Don't let it die
Baby

Oh, that's marvelous.
You got to dig it, baby
Yes, yes, yes
You know the vessal
could not hold all the love
That l have in my heart for you
lf l could spread it
All across the sea
l know my love would
Cover it all up, baby
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
lf the bees only knew
How sweet your love was
They'd pack up
Their honeycomb
lf the birds ov'rhead knew how
Sweet your force was, darling
They'd pack up their song
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Woman, now, you gotta smile
You gotta kiss
You gotta a kindness, baby
You gotta loving, loving
Loving, loving
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Now if the cooks
ln the kitchen
Had dresses as tight as yours
They wouldn't need no fryer
Ain't a word l can say
Justa, justa, justa
To grab your fire
Looks of loving desire
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Woman, woman
Mama, mama
Ain't that kindness?
Baby, baby
Ain't that a kindness?
Woman, woman
Ain't that a kindness?
Somebody, somebody tell me
Somebody, somebody, please
Somebody, somebody, somewhere
Somebody, somebody
Tell this poor boy
Somebody, somebody
Somewhere
We gotta bring it
All together, people
We gotta do it
All together, baby
We gotta bring it
Up together, baby
We gotta bring it
Up together, baby
Woman, you know that
The desert could not hold
All the love that l have
ln my heart for you
lf l could spread it
All across the sea
You know my love
Would cover it all up
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts
To have
And hold, baby
And now we'd like to
welcome our next guest...
the beautiful Misss
Marianne Faithful.
He walks along
Singing his fairy song
Picking up magic
That grows at his feet
She says
The same her peculiar way
Dreaming good fortune
On everyone's street
Say, hey, have you heard
Blue whiskey's the rage
l'll send you a jug
ln the morning
lt is absurd
To live in a cage
You know there's got to be
Something better
As they go by, don't look
With eagle's eyes
Smile on your jailers
Until they grow weak
Nothing can compare to
Something that's almost there
To tear up the madness
That all of us seek
Say, hey, have you heard
Blue whiskey's the rage
l'll send you a jug
ln the morning
lt is absurd
To live in a cage
You know there's got to be
Something better
And now, Donny Camara,
assisted by Lovely Luna.
Winston, welcome to the show.
-Michael, it's a pleasure to be here.
-It's really nice to have you, John.
You know I've admired
your work for so long, and...
haven't been able to get toether
with you so much as I want...
That's been my fault, Michael.
Ah, do you remember that
little place off Broadway we...?
Ah, those were the days,
I wanna hold your man.
I remember that.
John, I wanna talk to you
about your new group, the...
...Dirty Mac, that you brought
together for tonight's show.
Comprised of yourself...
Myself, that's Winston
Legthigh, you know.
And we've got Mitch Mitchel,
from the Jimi Hendrix Experience...
-Are you really? Experienced?
-Yes, the very best.
You read my file.
And we've got Eric
Clapton from the Cream.
The late, great, Cream, Michael.
Fantastic!
And we've got Keith
Richards, your own soul brother.
Dirty.
Great.
I'd like just to give
you thise, mate.
-Thank you, John.
-...the British public.
Yer a blues, John.
Yer a blues, John.
Yer blues, John.
One, two, three, four
Yes l'm lonely
Wanna die
Yes l'm lonely
Wanna die
lf l ain't dead already
Girl you know
The reason why
ln the morning
Wanna die
ln the evening
Wanna die
lf l ain't dead already
Girl you know
The reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But l am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
l'm lonely
Wanna die
lf l ain't dead already
Girl you know
The reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
l feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
l'm lonely
Wanna die
lf l ain't dead already
Girl you know
The reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
l'm lonely
Wanna die
lf l ain't dead already
Girl you know
The reason why
Wanna die
l'm lonely
Wanna die
Give me
Give me, give me
Give me, give me
Give me
Give me, give me
And now...
l was born
ln a cross-fire hurricane
And l howled at my ma
ln the driving rain
But it's all right now
ln fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
l'm Jumpin'Jack Flash
lt's a gas, gas, gas
l was raised by a toothless
Bearded hag
l was schooled with a strap
Right across my back
But it's all right now
ln fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
l'm Jumpin'Jack Flash
lt's a gas, gas, gas
Get down
Watch it
l was drowned, l was washed up
And left for dead
l fell down to my feet
And l saw they bled
l frowned at the crumbs
Of a crust of bread
l was crowned with a spike
Right thru my head
But it's all right now
ln fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
l'm Jumpin'Jack Flash
lt's a gas, gas, gas
Come on, baby
Jumping Jack Flash
Jumping Jack Flash
Come on, come on
Jumping Jack Flash
Jumping, jumping
Jumping, jumping
Jumping Jack Flash
Jumping Jack Flash
Jumping, jumping
Jumping, jumping
Gracias.

Parachute woman

And l'll overspill
ln Caroline
Parachute woman
Join me for a ride
Parachute woman
Join me for a ride

ln Dallas
And get hot again
ln half the time
Now, you boy
Parachute woman
Will you blow me out?
Parachute woman
Will you blow me out?
Well, my heavy
Throbbing itchin'
Just to lay
A solo rhythm down
Oh baby
Let's save the queen.
Said the queen.
I'm sorry, Keith.
i forgot your guitar.
One, two, three, four
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
l've got no expectations
To pass
Through here again
Once l was a rich man
Now l am so poor
But never
ln my sweet short life
Have l felt
Like this before
Your heart
ls like the diamond
Your throw
Your pearls at swine
And as l watch
You leaving me
You pack
My peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
lts here and then its gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
l got no expectations
To pass
Through here again
l saw her today
At the reception
A glass of wine
ln her hand
l knew she was gonna meet
Her connection
At her feet
Was a footloose man
And l said that
You can't always get
What you want, honey
You can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
You might just find
You get what you need
So
l went
To the Chelsea Drugstore
To get your
Prescription filled
l was standing in line
With your friend Jimmy
And man
Did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would
Have a soda
My favorite flavour
Was cherry red
l sing my song
To my friend Mister Jimmy
And he said one word to me
And that was dead
And l said
That you can't always get
What you want, honey
And you can't always get
The man that you want
And you can't always get
The man that you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Might find
Oh baby
Might find
l saw her today
At the reception
ln her glass
Was a bleeding man
She was practiced
At the art of deception
l could tell
By her blood-stained hands
And l'll say
That you can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
And you can't always get
What you want
You can't always
Satisfy your greed
And you can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby
Please allow me
To introduce myself
l'm a man
Of wealth and taste
l've been around
For a long, long year
Stolen many man's soul
And faith
l was around
When Jesus Christ
Had His moment
Of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands
Sealed His fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Stuck around
St. Petersburg
When l saw it was a time
For a change
Killed the Tzar
And his ministers
Anastasia
Screamed in vain
l rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's puzzling you is just
The nature of my game
l watched the glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
l shouted out
Killed the Kennedy
When after all
lt was you and me
So let me please
lntroduce myself
l'm a man
Of wealth and taste
And l lay traps
For troubadors
Who get killed before
They reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Get down with it
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Just as every cop
ls a criminal
And all the sinners
Saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause l'm in need
Of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy
And some taste
Use all your welder
Learned politesse
Or l'll lay your soul
To waste
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Get down with it
Alright
Alright
Alright
Oh baby
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

Alright
Tell me baby
What's my name

Tell me baby
There's not much left
for us to say, really...
but to sing you one
last goodnightly song...
and to wish you all...
Good Night.
Let's drink
To the hard working people
Let's drink
All the lowly of birth
Raise your glass
To the good and the evil
Let's drink
To the salt of the earth
Say a prayer
For the common foot soldier
Spare a thought
For his back breaking work
Spare a thought for
His wife and his children
Who burn the fires
And who still till the earth
And when l look into
This faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray
Blue, black and white
They don't look real
To me
ln fact
We all look so strange
Raise your glass
To the hard working people
Let's drink
To the uncounted heads
Let's think
Of the wavering millions
Who need leading
But get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for
The stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze
At strange beauty shows
And a parade
Of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer
Or polio
And when l look into
This faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays
And black and white
Do we all look real
To you
Or do we look so strange
Let's drink
To the hard working people
Let's think of
The lowly of birth
Spare a thought
For the rag taggy people
Let's drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's drink
To the hard working people
Let's drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's drink
To the two thousand million
Let's think of
The humble of birth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth

Throbbing itchin'
Just to lay
A solo rhythm down
Oh baby
Let's save the queen.
Said the queen.
I'm sorry, Keith.
i forgot your guitar.
One, two, three, four
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
l've got no expectations
To pass
Through here again
Once l was a rich man
Now l am so poor
But never
ln my sweet short life
Have l felt
Like this before
Your heart
ls like the diamond
Your throw
Your pearls at swine
And as l watch
You leaving me
You pack
My peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
lts here and then its gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
l got no expectations
To pass
Through here again
l saw her today
At the reception
A glass of wine
ln her hand
l knew she was gonna meet
Her connection
At her feet
Was a footloose man
And l said that
You can't always get
What you want, honey
You can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
You might just find
You get what you need
So
l went
To the Chelsea Drugstore
To get your
Prescription filled
l was standing in line
With your friend Jimmy
And man
Did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would
Have a soda
My favorite flavour
Was cherry red
l sing my song
To my friend Mister Jimmy
And he said one word to me
And that was dead
And l said
That you can't always get
What you want, honey
And you can't always get
The man that you want
And you can't always get
The man that you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Might find
Oh baby
Might find
l saw her today
At the reception
ln her glass
Was a bleeding man
She was practiced
At the art of deception
l could tell
By her blood-stained hands
And l'll say
That you can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
And you can't always get
What you want
You can't always
Satisfy your greed
And you can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby
Please allow me
To introduce myself
l'm a man
Of wealth and taste
l've been around
For a long, long year
Stolen many man's soul
And faith
l was around
When Jesus Christ
Had His moment
Of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands
Sealed His fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Stuck around
St. Petersburg
When l saw it was a time
For a change
Killed the Tzar
And his ministers
Anastasia
Screamed in vain
l rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's puzzling you is just
The nature of my game
l watched the glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
l shouted out
Killed the Kennedy
When after all
lt was you and me
So let me please
lntroduce myself
l'm a man
Of wealth and taste
And l lay traps
For troubadors
Who get killed before
They reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Get down with it
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Just as every cop
ls a criminal
And all the sinners
Saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause l'm in need
Of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy
And some taste
Use all your welder
Learned politesse
Or l'll lay your soul
To waste
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
ls just the nature of my game
Get down with it
Alright
Alright
Alright
Oh baby
Alright

Tell me baby
What's my name
Tell me baby
Tell me baby
What's my name

Sweeter
Alright

What's my name
What's my name
Tell me baby
There's not much left
for us to say, really...
but to sing you one
last goodnightly song...
and to wish you all...
Good Night.
Let's drink
To the hard working people
Let's drink
All the lowly of birth
Raise your glass
To the good and the evil
Let's drink
To the salt of the earth
Say a prayer
For the common foot soldier
Spare a thought
For his back breaking work
Spare a thought for
His wife and his children
Who burn the fires
And who still till the earth
And when l look into
This faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray
Blue, black and white
They don't look real
To me
ln fact
We all look so strange
Raise your glass
To the hard working people
Let's drink
To the uncounted heads
Let's think
Of the wavering millions
Who need leading
But get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for
The stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze
At strange beauty shows
And a parade
Of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer
Or polio
And when l look into
This faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays
And black and white
Do we all look real
To you
Or do we look so strange
Let's drink
To the hard working people
Let's think of
The lowly of birth
Spare a thought
For the rag taggy people
Let's drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's drink
To the hard working people
Let's drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's drink
To the two thousand million
Let's think of
The humble of birth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Let's raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
