LYRICS
LIVE FROM THE ROCKPILE
LOST CONTROL
I took a walk to ease the pain
Stepped back started again
Walked a mile and hung my head
Lost control, you're lost she said
You were there to push me far
Said keep true, stay the course
Help me up, help me stand
Who's gonna teach me to be a man
I caught a piece of a falling star
I'm trying to find my way to where you are
And if I never make it back till then
I'll never be controlled again
Where do I go from here
It's getting closer now I fear
Chin up boy don't shed no tears
You’re a man you keep her near
I caught a piece of a falling star
I'm trying to find my way to where you are
And if I never make it back till then
I'll never be controlled again
And I'll never get away
I'll never be the same
I won't make that mistake
And I'll show him the way
I won't let you fade
You won't ever get away
I'll never be controlled
I'm done controlling
I caught a piece of a falling star
I'm trying to find my way to where you are
And if I never make it back till then
I'll never be controlled again
I caught a piece of a falling star (falling star)
I'm trying to find my way to where you are
And if I never make it back till then (back till then)
I'll never be controlled again
FIGURE IT OUT
Words and music by Ben Thatcher & Michael Kerr
Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cuss and see
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out
Getting hard to sleep
But it is in my dreams
But it's killing me
To try and figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out
I'll let it go 'cause I won't see you later
And I'm not allowed to talk it out
I said I'll come, I'll promise I won't show
But I see you trying to figure it out
I promise you, I'll take a bet on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'll go, yeah, I won't see you later
And I'm not allowed to figure it out
Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cuss and see
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out
I'll let it go 'cause I won't see you later
And I'm not allowed to talk it out
I said I'll come, I'll promise I won't show
But I see you trying to figure it out
I promise you, I'll take a bet on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'll go, yeah, I won't see you later
And I'm not allowed to figure it out
THE BALLAD OF CAPTAIN JACK
Lost the jam in my very first session
Kept it up just to add to the aggression
I'm on a mission to keep this consistent
I wish my second dad had've taken me fishing
Pretty girl got my stomach up a churning
Buy the drinks just to keep up the flirting
I gotta get an earning to keep up the learning
So my second dad will stop the concerning
I hope your daddy loves you
I hope your daddy cares
Cuz I need a woman
With no issues to spare
So baby back up against the wall and let your hair down while I stall
Take off your sweater, we'll make it better
Turn it up and change the weather
Tell me what to say, forget your sins of yesterday
Take off your sweater, take off your sweater
I promise honey it only gets better
Weekends hit so loosen up your tie
Party up with your girl by your side
If you're the single type and you're running out tonight
I wish you all the luck and I hope you get a bite
Might I recommend a shot to go with that
That's a pretty name mine is Captain Jack
You might have heard of me I'd like to dance certainly
I've got a reputation to keep up with the mystery
I like the way your body moves
I like the way you hold me tight
And I can see myself
Going home with you tonight
So baby back up against the wall and let your hair down while I stall
Take off your sweater, we'll make it better
Turn it up and change the weather
Tell me what to say, forget your sins of yesterday
Take off your sweater, take off your sweater
I promise honey it only gets better
Back up against the wall and let your hair down while I stall
Take off your sweater, we'll make it better
Turn it up and change the weather
Tell me what to say, forget your sins of yesterday
Take off your sweater, take off your sweater
I promise honey it only gets better
So go on slam the door
As our bodies hit the floor
Take off your sweater I'll make it better
Turn it up, baby feel it get wetter
Baby I can please
I gotchu begging on your knees
Take off your sweater take off your sweater
I promise honey it only gets better
CROOKED STEP
He's a crooked man with a crooked step
Leads a crooked life that fleeting
Takes a pill a day to wash away
The crookedness he’s alone and empty
Inside of him lies a great sin
Tear apart the creases and fall in
Sing along with me and you’ll start to see
That this man is you and me
Get an upgrade and fix your version
I am certain that its recommended by your past excursions
Believe me I wouldn’t lie
Ive had to say many goodbyes
But this road I’m travelling on has a cold and chilling frost
Im the captain so I pray I don’t get lost
Buys a diamond ring and starts to sing
A wretched tune its concerning
Fills his coffee up its his second cup
Doesn’t sleep at night needs the thrill to keep him
From slowing down to wrap his head around
That wretched tune that haunting sound
Sing along with him as loud as him
And with me so you will see
Get an upgrade and fix your version
I am certain that its recommended by your past excursions
Believe me I wouldn’t lie
Ive had to say many goodbyes
But this road I’m travelling on has a cold and chilling frost
Im the captain so I pray
Hail to the majestic son
Sway to the beat of the drum
Bet he's looking for another big street woman
Cats fallin’, screamin’, scratchin’ at the cushion
Follow through and roll me inside
Roll me inside and make me crooked
Get an upgrade and fix your version
I am certain that its recommended by your past excursions
Believe me I wouldn’t lie
Ive had to say many goodbyes
But this road I’m travelling on has a cold and chilling frost
Im the captain so I pray I don’t get lost
Believe me I wouldn’t lie
Ive had to say many goodbyes
But this road I’m travelling on has a cold and chilling frost
Im the captain so I pray I don’t get
captain so I pray I don’t get
captain so I pray I don’t get
Captain don’t let us go down and feel that crooked step
BILLS TO PAY
I had a little but a little wasn't good enough so I took it and I made a little more
I didn't make it but I took it and I drove it down down the street to the corner store
And by store I mean the pickup in the parking lot run by a dude and his little four
Kids they weren't his but to him it was a win cuz he hustled me down to the floor
All I wanted was a ticket cuz he told me he had fixed it to a horse that was gonna score
And as I drove away I realized that I had paid for more and now I'm just dirt poor
Now I'm down on my knees begging oh God please I need a win cuz I can't pay no more
If this horse is a quitter than I'm really in the shitter cuz my landlord says I'm out the door
I got bills to pay and no money saved and no place to call my home
I don't spend my days working my ass away so I guess I should have known
Driving to the track with my buddy in the back and this lady he was trying to score
She's a real down-towner couldn't have said it any louder and she hustles on down to the floor
And as I'm looking in the mirror they're getting busy in the rear and I drove my car into a ditch
Now I'm shit out of luck I've got to spend another buck I got to pay a guy to give me a hitch
I got bills to pay and no money saved and no place to call my home
I don't spend my days working my ass away so I guess I should have known
Living casually never set me free and I'm in debt right down to the bone
I'm no prodigy so there's no money for me looks like I'm living life on my own
Oh my God oh my God
I've been searching for something never reaching for nothing
I'm an old sick bastard case in an unfamiliar place and I'm crawling my way back through tiny cracks
Oh my God oh my God
I'm a used up canon I'll fire at nothing
So just put your faith in me and you'll finally start to see that I'm almost just like you
I got bills to pay and no money saved and no place to call my home
I don't spend my days working my ass away so I guess I should have known
Living casually never set me free and I'm in debt right down to the bone
I'm no prodigy so there's no money for me looks like I'm living life on my own
Looks like I'm living life on my own
Looks like I'm living life on my own
IMMIGRANT SONG
Words and music by Jimmy Page & Roger Plant
Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
We'll drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
ITCHIN' BACK
I've started itchin' back; I can't scratch
But the ones on tap say I've got that
You know you're trying too hard to fight back
When the bobbies on top tell you step back, you gotta get that rollin', don't stop trollin'
Till you're on your way
Walkin' on from yesterday
Keep steppin' till you earn your pay
Baby don't waste you gotta celebrate
You know you want it all
But how far are you prepared to fall
You live or die you're up against the wall
Get your head straight don't let your dreams wait for you
I got a ticket to the show so let's go
Keep your dial on, set for ringtone
You keep saying that you're meant for something
But your ticket comes up with nothing,
So why you rushin' tryin' to keep yourself from dyin'
Cuz you're on your way
Walkin' on from yesterday
Keep steppin' till you earn your pay
Baby don't waste you gotta celebrate
You know you want it all
But how far are you prepared to fall
You live or die you're up against the wall
Get your head straight don't let your dreams wait for you
Straighten up
I know you know that you can talk the talk
A pretty mouth but can you speak at all when your name is called
Can you tease it out
Oh baby baby can you please at all
You think you're the one but it's better to lose it all, than to never fall
You're breaking your back but its already too tall
Cuz you're on your way
Walkin' on from yesterday
Keep steppin' till you earn your pay
Baby don't waste you gotta celebrate
You know you want it all
But how far are you prepared to fall
You live or die you're up against the wall
Get your head straight don't let your dreams wait for you
