Brian Setzer Collection - Lyrics

more lyrics for you folks (specially for the non English native speakers) from the BS Collection... here are just the B-sides & Studio outtakes:

"SUMMERTIME BLUES"
I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me "Son, you gotta make some money"
If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can´t use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said, quote
"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

"ECHO PARK"
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night
I wasn't sure how many times it rang out through the night
I felt the breeze and the hearts through the air
I felt your eyes lookin' right through me
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night

Was a summer to remember
You were something to be hold
A regular Marilyn Monroe
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night

I used to swim in Echo Park Lake all night, all night
We took our clothes off stayed out half the night
Well come on now, we're gonna do it right
I'll take your hand and we can swim together right now all night

It was summer to remember
You were something to behold
A regular Marilyn Monroe
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night

I felt the breeze and the hearts through the air
I felt your eyes lookin' right through me
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night

Well if I wanted to come back
I think there's something you should know
I wouldn't change a thing oh no no no
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night
I heard your voice in Echo Park last night

"CROSS OF LOVE"
Where does it say all the love that we made must disappear
And who made the rule that the one who is cruel won't cry the tears
Well we woke up unsatisfied, got out of bed and said goodbye
But don't leave me here dying on the cross of love

Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now, baby realize you can't make our love a sacrifice
But don't leave me here dying on the cross of love

Who pays the cost if the love that is lost goes unredeemed
And why should I care if this cross that I bear is destiny
My heart was pure, my love was strong forgive me if I've done you wrong
But don't leave me here dying on the cross of love

Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now, baby realize you can't make our love a sacrifice
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love

Where does it say all the love that we made must disappear
And who made the rule that the one who is cruel won't cry the tears
Well now I know how cruel thou art
Have mercy baby on my heart
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love

Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now, baby realize you can't make our love a sacrifice
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't you leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't you leave me here dying on the cross of love

"THING ABOUT YOU"
He's got a thing about you
Yeah, well take it from someone who knows
He tries to track you down
And when he finds you girl
He's gonna do you wrong
He knows the way you move
The way you smile
He feels the way I do about you

He's got a thing about you
Oh take it from me
He just can't live without you
Oh, he's got a thing about you

I wanna set you free
But I think there's a fire still burning
That's the trouble with you
You're always getting burned but it never scars
He knows the way you move
The way you smile
He feels the way I do about you

He's got a thing about you
Oh take it from me
He just can't live without you
Oh, he's got a thing about you

You wanna do what's right
Yeah, that's what you tell all your friends
Who can you trust, who can you run to
Well, baby you don't even know what's right for you
I know the way you move
The way you smile
I feel the way he does about you

I've got a thing about you
Oh take it from me
I just can't live without you
Oh, I got a thing about you

(I've got a thing about you)
Oh take it from me
I just can't live without you
Oh, I got a thing about you

(I've got a thing about you)
I got a thing about you
(I've got a thing about you)
I got a thing about you
(I've got a thing about you)
I got a thing about you


"WAITIN' FOR DESIREE"
Tornados spin me around, the rain beats on my face
Hurricanes ain't nothin' baby the tidal wave don't quench my thirst
Don't you think we all know your good looks pulled you through
I'm just sittin' here waitin' for Desiree

Drinking wine from the lovin' cup your face looks all messed up
I don't want to see you clear I like your picture hard to read
I know I should get happy, my mind's all ready made up
I'm just sittin' here waitin' for Desiree
I'm waitin' for Desiree

The rules is bad enough but it's the only station I can get
I turned the TV off but you ain't come on yet

You lead a sheltered life
At least that's what I think
And every time that I got up
Fixed myself a drink
Your voice come on out now
And tell me I'm riskin' again
I'm just sittin' here waitin' for Desiree
I'm just sittin' round waitin' for Desiree
I'm just sittin' here waitin' for Desiree
I'm waitin' for Desiree

"KEEP YOUR LOVIN' STRONG"
You have reached my height of desperation
And your hear that lonesome whistle whine
Just for friendship you want compensation
You want me to get him off your mind

So keep your lovin' strong
You can carry on
When the night comes on
You want me to keep your lovin' strong

You turned me on, we haven't even started yet
You wrote to me and the rain starts coming now
Tonight, tonight we dance without our shirts on
The songs we sing and the room start spinnin' round

So keep your lovin' strong
You can carry on
When the night comes on
You want me to keep your lovin' strong

So hold on, don't let somebody else say to you
The sun is rising and now it won't tell us where were you

He has reached his height of satisfaction
And you hear your hungry baby whine
He don't like the way you clean the house, baby
But for love you take him one more time

So keep your lovin' strong
You can carry on
When the night comes on
You want me to keep your lovin' strong


"LIVING SOULS"
I'm just gonna say one more time
How get the feeling that I'm last in line
You can't treat all your friends that way
I'm not crazy about the things you say

Give me as much as I can take
Just keep pushing me until I break
I don't mean as much to you
You mean more for me than you ever were

There ain't another living souls
Who makes me feel the way that you do
There ain't another living souls
Who would do everything for you

You're not getting out of this so fast
I got a love that is made to last
I don't really care what people say
You and me should go hide away

I've been through this thing before
I know how it feels baby by your door
If you're so sure do what you’re wanna do
There's something that I gotta say to you

There ain't another living souls
Who makes me feel the way that you do
There ain't another living souls
Who would do everything for you

You're not getting out of this so fast
I got a love that is made to last
I don't really care what people say
You and me should just hide away

I've been through this thing before
I know how it feels baby by your door
If you're so sure do what you’re wanna do
There's something that I gotta say to you

There ain't another living souls
Who makes me feel the way that you do
There ain't another living souls
Who would do everything for you

There ain't another living souls
Who makes me feel the way that you do
There ain't another living souls
Who would do everything for you
