Letra
(mick jagger / keith richards) Everywhere i hear the sound of marching, charging feet boy 'cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy Hey think the time is right for a palace revolution where i live the game to play is just to compromise my solution What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'cause you see bein' london town there's just no other place for a street fighting man Hey did i tell you that my name was called disturbance and i'll shout and scream and i'll kill the king and i'll rail at all his servants What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'cause you see bein' london town there's just no place for a street fighting man Everywhere i hear the sound of marching, charging feet boy 'cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'cause you see bein' london town there's just no other place for a street fighting man - Man of Constant Sorrow2:31
Letra
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I'll say goodbye to Colorado Where I was born and prob'ly raised Your mother says I am a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there's one promise darling I'll see you on God's golden shore Through this open world I'm about to ramble Through ice, snow, sleet and rain I am about to rob the mornin' railroad Perhaps I'll die on that train I'm goin' back to Colorado Place that I started from If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me Honey I never would have come - Blind Prayer4:36
Letra
I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer 'Til I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five I lost both my mother and my father Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun And that ain't all A homeless child for the next five years With my dog clown by my side and my only friend Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fought my way through school Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend And you know what the, the, the kids Down my street weren't too playful And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me And ah yeah I worked my fingers to the bone Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town But then, but then I lost the last thing I had When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman Sixteen years old and felt like a woman But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt Tread my name into the dirt yeah I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt What could I do I never knew how much love could hurt me But it never ever come my way before No, no, no, no, no I never knew how much love could hurt me Good God it ain't never come my way before Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say Really what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me Ah turn it down I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt You got a lotta lotta lost everything That I ever had ever had - Handbags & Gladrags4:23

Letra
Found my love by the gaswork croft Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the dock Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town We're goin' to take a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town And oh we'll chop you down Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town And oh whoa-oh dirty old town Chop you down one of these days
