Moonchild Including The Dream And The Illusion Lyrics

I guess I tried to show you how
I'd take the crowd with my guitar
And
business men would clap their hands
And clip another fat cigar
And
publishers would spread the news
And print my music far and wide
And all
the kids who played the blues
Would learn my licks with a bottle neck
slide

But now it seems the bubble's burst
Although you know there was
a time
When love songs gathered in my head
With poetry in every
line
And strong men strove to hold the doors
While with my friends I
passed the age
When people stomped on dirty floors
Before I trod the
rock'n'roll stage

I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone
And if he
has the time to spend
The problem I'll explain once more
And indicate a
sum to lend
That ten percent is now a joke
Maybe thirty, even
thirty-five
I'll say my daddy's had a stroke
He'd have one now, if he
only was alive

I like the way you look at me
You're laughing too down
there inside
I took my chance and you took yours
You crewed my ship, we
missed the tide
I like the way the music goes
There's a few good guys who
can play it right
I like the way it moves my toes
Just say when you want
to go and dance all night...
