Kris Kristofferson - Blame It On The Stones - lyrics

Mister marvin middle class is really in a stew
Wondrin what the younger generations coming to
And the taste of his martini doesnt please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the rolling stones.
Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better, knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones
Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day
Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay
And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home
Blame it on the rolling stones.
Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better, knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones
Fathers at the office, nightly working all the time
Trying to make the secretary change her little mind
And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes
Blame it on those rolling stones.
Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones
Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones.

Kris Kristofferson - Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground - lyrics

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
I patched up your broken wing and hung around for a while
Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Kris Kristofferson - Billy Dee - lyrics

Billy dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one
Fooling with some foolish things he couldve left alone
But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldnt name
Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins
All around the honky tonks, searching for a sign
Gettin by on gettin high on women, words and wine
Some folks called him crazy, lord, and others called him free
But we just called us lucky for the love of billy dee
Busy goin his own way and speakin his own words
Facin and forgettin every warnin that he heard
Makin friends and takin any crazy chance he could
Gettin busted for the bad times and believin in the good
Billy took a beatin from a world he meant no harm
The score was written in the scars up on his arm
Some felt he was payin for the life he tried to lead
But all we felt was sorry for our good friend billy dee
It may be his soul was bigger than a bodys oughta be
Singin songs and bringin laughter to the likes of you and me
Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find
But it wasnt near as lonesome as the one he left behind
Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel
Reachin towards the needle, lord, that drove him down to hell
Some folks called it suicide, others blame the speed
But we all called it crucified when billy dee o.d.d

Kris Kristofferson - Best Of All Possible Worlds - lyrics

I was runnin' through the summer rain tryin' to catch the evenin' train
And kill that old familiar pain weevin' through my tangled brain
When I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't see
That policeman said Mr Cool if you're ain't drunk then you're a fool
I said if that's against the law tell me why I never saw
A man locked in that jail of yours who wadn't just as lowdown poor as me
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
And I wound up in jail to spend the night
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds
Well I woke up next morning feelin' like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin' somethin' sick and wrong
And I told that man I'd sell my soul if somethin' wet and cold is that old cell
That kindly jailer grinned at me all eaten up with sympathy
Then bought himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear
That booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn't even buy the smell
I said I knew there was somethin' I liked about this town
But it takes more than that to bring me down down down
Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds
Well they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free
And I'd be leavin' town if I knew what was good for me
I said it's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my health
I said I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can
Cause I've enjoyed about this much of this as I can stand
And I don't need this town of yours more than I've never needed nothing else
Cause there's still a lotta drinks that I ain't drunk
Lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thought oh yeah
Lord there's still so many lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds

Kris Kristofferson - Between Heaven & Here - lyrics

You got your reasons to choose not to ever believe me (believe me)
Maybe life done you so dirty youll never be free.
Look what youre doing to someone who surreally loves you.
Is that the lonesome old way you wanted to be ? (I didnt think so)
Partner, I know, we could be soul to soul if we want to.
Oh, aint it worth it, theres so little lovin today.
Wastin our feelings on something when so little matters.
Think of the time and the chances were throwing away.
Chorus:
We can do better than this we can go for the glory !
I hope to God we can handle the worst of our fears !
Then if you will if youre up to the thrill of a lifetime
Maybe well tear down the walls between heaven and here.
Maybe the secret is making believe when it matters
Maybe just keeping it simple and close to the heart.
Love is so easy to make and so easy to shatter.
We can be stronger together or tear it apart.

Kris Kristofferson - A Moment Of Forever - lyrics

Was it wonderful for you?
Was it holy as it was for me?
Did you feel the hand of destiny
That was guiding us together?
You were young enough to dream
I was old enough to learn something new
Im so glad I got to dance with you
For a moment of forever
Sometimes when youre cryin, youre happy
Sometimes youre just cryin
I know. I know.
Come whatever happens now
Aint it nice to know that dreams still come true
Im so glad that I was close to you
For a moment of forever.

Kris Kristofferson - A Song I'd Like To Sing - lyrics

(na na na na na na na....)
Theres a song Id like to sing
Do you know the song I mean?
It dont always sound the same
But its always good to sing.
Maybe it dont mean a thing
Its a pretty little tune.
Its a song Id like to sing
And Id love to sing with you.
And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man
We can sing along together
Just enyoying til its over
It dont need to last forever
If we want it to it can.
(muppets: na na na na na na na....)

Kris Kristofferson - Aguila Del Norte - lyrics

Did anybody see them ?
I heard there was a baby
Somebody heard her crying
Weaker through the night
They beat her mama bloody
And shot her with her daddy
It was the terror from above
El aguila del norte
Down in nicaragua
Running from the shadows
Striking holy terror
Deeper in the heart
You believe in freedom
And you believe in justice
But not in nicaragua
Not in nicaragua
Aguila del norte
We can see your power
And the beauty of your freedom
What is in your heart ?
You believe in honor
And you believe in jesus
But not in nicaragua
Not in nicaragua

Kris Kristofferson - Bad Love Story - lyrics

Once again you tried to show me
What my eyes refused to see
In the lines between the painful scene were in
With the silence falling coldly
On a world of make-believe
And the ending that I still dont understand
Chorus:
Its a bad love story
That Ive had to learn by heart
cause Ive lived these lines so many times before
And its a shame the way the same old ending
Still tears me apart
Where the lady still dont love me anymore
I can see the truth before me
Like a mirror on the wall
With a crack or two for every fool Ive been
And I see the lady waiting
For her count-down curtain call
And its looking like the place that I came in
Chorus:
Its a bad love story
That Ive had to learn by heart
cause Ive lived these lines so many times before
And its a shame the way the same old ending
Still tears me apart
Where the lady still dont love me anymore
