The Uptones – “Bonnie And Clyde”

Take this message to Bonnie and Clyde

Tell them if they want to survive

Not to take Route 55

Captain Frank Hammer wants them dead or alive

I used to ride with Bonnie and Clyde

Don’t ask me now even how or why

Hurry, I want them to survive

Take this message to Bonnie and Clyde

Don’t Stop, Murderer, Thief, Cop Killer, Creep!

I remember stealing chickens for fun

Little Clyde and me in the Texas sun

But that’s all gone

The trigger slipped…

Take this message to Bonnie and Clyde

I finally cracked that dirt bag’s code

Watch out for the trick in the road

I nearly drowned so drive, drive, drive

I’m the ghost of Buck Burrows

They shot me down when we tried to run

But I want my brother to survive

Take this message to Bonnie and Clyde!

Don’t Stop, Murderer, Thief, Cop Killer, Creep!

I remember dirty boots on the run

Little Clyde and me in the Texas sun

But that’s all gone

The trigger slipped…

Hipster ® Jesus – ‘Fate’

March 18, 2018 By Alcatraz Radio in Recorded Live

Recorded some time ago, Hipster ® Jesus delivers a conceptual song about fate and her dealings.

Guitar & Vocals – Hans Kloepfer (aka Hipser Jesus)

Lyrics:

Lying there sleeping peacefully
and in her sleep she does not even know he kissed her
she says that in her dream she tries to scream but when she does
all that comes ever out is a whisper

and she just would like to make him understand
despite the best intentions and nobelest of plans
sometimes in life you’ve got to chose
make the best of what you get because

fate she is a poker player
and she’ll deal you from the bottom of the deck

fate she is a dirty dirty dealer
and she’ll deal you from the bottom of the deck

so take your cards and learn to play them
so learn your prayers and don’t forget to say them

Lyrics (MetroLyrics)

J’avoue
J’en ai
Bavé
Pas vous
Mon amour
Avant
D’avoir
Eu vent
De vous
Mon amour

Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d’une chanson
A votre
Avis
Qu’avons-nous vu
De l’amour
De vous
A moi
Vous m’avez eu
Mon amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d’une chanson

Hélas
Avril
En vain
Me voue
A l’amour
J’avais
Envie
De voir
En vous
Cet amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d’une chanson
La vie
Ne vaut
D’être
Vécue
Sans amour
Mais c’est
Vous qui
L’avez
Voulu
Mon amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d’une chanson
