WHERE, WHERE CAN IT BE? - WHERE, WHERE CAN IT BE?
WHERE, WHERE CAN IT BE? - WHERE, WHERE CAN IT BE?
FOUND A CHILD, BESIDE A ROCK
SIT RIGHT DOWN, AND HEAR HIM TALK
TELLS THE STORY, THE WAY IT WAS,
ASK HIM WHY, HE SAID BECAUSE
FEELING FINE - PEACE OF MIND
FEELING FINE - GOT  |

Отличный дебютный альбом Ballin' Jack, выдержанный в фанк-рок-стилистике, с джазовыми и фольковыми акцентами. Драйвовые риффы гитары и баса, с добавлением духовых. Очень интересная социальная лирика, особенно в "Street People", благодаря которой точно передаётся атмосфера конца 60-х - начала 70-х, эпохи социальных протестов, фестивалей и прочего.
Диск весьма разнопланов: можно услышать высокоскоростной фанк, или мощную джаз-импровизацию ("Festival", лучший трек на альбоме), или фольковую балладу. Есть даже инструментал, в котором духовые инструменты солируют по очереди. Жаль, что живых записей вещей с этого альбома, кроме "Hold On", не сохранилось.
Это единственный альбом Ballin' Jack, где нет слабых композиций. В дальнейшем ситуация (финансовая, в частности) ухудшилась. |

2. Superhighway
SIMPLY WANT TO REACH OUR DESTINATION,
BUT LATELY THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND,
A THOUSAND MILLION MILES OF SUPER HIGHWAYS…
JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT,
A BETTER WAY TO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE,
I SAID THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT,
A BETTER WAY TO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE,
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT,
A BETTER WAY TO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE,
ONE THOUSAND MILLION MILES OF SUPER HIGHWAYS, YEAH,
PUT US OUT OF OUR LIVING SPACE,
SUPER HIGHWAY IS TEARING THROUGH MY CITY,
SUPER HIGHWAYS TEARING THROUGH MY TOWN,
SUPER HIGHWAYS TEARING THOUGH MY COUNTRY,
SUPER HIGHWAYS, GOT TO TEAR IT DOWN....
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT
GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT.
3. Festival
Today's the festival - Fun for everyone
Round homely girls are smiling - Harold's got a gun
Care for some southern fried chicken? - Napkins are there by the beer
You kids can play by the creek now - Hang out and try to stay near
Hi, how you doing now? Aint seen you for a while
Out of the service now - It's good to see you smile
Come on and take off your shoes now - The office is ten years away
Sit down and take in some blues - Sure would be nice if you stay
Today's the festival … Fun for everyone
Round homely girls are smiling ... Harold's got a gun
The festival is you - The festival is you
The festival is you.... Festival
4. Telephone
I caught the early morning flight
Everything is going fine
Somehow I don't feel right
I miss you ... I miss you
Thought about you late last night
Should've made me feel good
Somehow I don't feel right
I miss you… Oh I Miss you… So Bad
Somehow I'm not feeling right
I miss you…Oh, I miss you… So bad
Always going to far away places
Every where the same strange faces
Oh I had to call you
How can I telephone how I feel?
How can I telephone how I feel?
How can I telephone how I feel?
Tell a phone instead of telling, you???
5. Only A Tear
Sometimes a place seems so familiar to me
It seem as though I might have been there before
But I know it's not true and I really should go, from here
Got to go now... get away from here
Seasons have come and gone
Pass me by and I have no home
My reason for being alone
It's just a debt being paid from before
To you, a friend this may mean nothing at all
Please don't go but help me up if I fall
Follow me if you can
Follow if you can
Reach out, take me by the hand
Follow me if you can... take me by the hand
It's only a tear, my child
It's going to be there a while
Don't ever say it's too late
There's time, you can wait
6. Never Let 'Em Say
Ah, never gonna let em say that I dont love you
never gonna let em say that I dont care
never gonna let em say that when you needed me
never gonna let em say that I weren't there...
Do a line and drag me along behind you
darling i don't even know if you still care
my love load has been heavy, I cant carry it
gonna dump it on you almost anywhere, uh-huh… hmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got to be myself
yeah yeah yeah yeah
love's gonna come again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I bet you know what i mean
yeah yeah yeah yeah
uh-huh…hmm
SOLO
HORN BRIDGE
I say I'm never gonna be the one that close the door on you
never gonna be the one my love is true
…never gonna be the one
I've got to be myself
never gonna be the one my love is true
…never gonna be the one
have to hear my mind
never gonna be the one my love is true
…never gonna be the one
I've got to take a chance
never gonna be the one my love is true
…never gonna be the one
I've got to be myself
never gonna be the one my love is true
…never gonna be the one
I've got to be myself…who
7. Street People
We just got to find new thing
Cause the old one just won't do
And we hear this talk of freedom
Tell me, what's it mean to you
Found there were no changes made
It was just a big parade… kid your self
Do you really think of winning?
Do you really think of winning?
The old man don't want trouble
While the old man holds the bar
And the old man counts his money
Still the young man makes his mark
Found there were no changes made
It was just a big parade… kid your self
Young man want them changes
Old man keep the seats
Is it any wonder
Actions in the streets
Choose your side , Choose your side, Decide
Choose your side, Decide, Choose your side
8. Carnival
CARNY MAN IN SOME SMALL TOWN... MAKES A TWO BIT RIDE GO ROUND
THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE SPINS... BUT, NOT FOR HIM
COTTON CANDY, HOT DOG MAN... HE WORKS IN EVERY LITTLE LAND
AND HE'S ASKING FOR A DIME... HE'LL NEVER SEE
CARNIVAL... I HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER AND IT SOUNDS SO SAD
CARNIVAL... A MILLION MILES FROM HOME AND FEELING BAD
CARNIVAL, YOU'VE COME AND GONE AND EMPTY SPACE WILL MEET THE DAWN
TOMORROW IS A MILLION, MILES AWAY....
(MUSIC INTERLUDE, FLUTE SOLO)
