Trying to Find a Woman Who Has Never Been Born

Posted on 2018/05/12 by Chad Philip

Going to California (track 07 from the Led Zeppelin IV LP by Led Zeppelin )

I spent my days with a woman unkind
She smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there is a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey—I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake, and the children of the sun began to wake

Seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose and it started to flow—I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time I’ll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries and sings
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn, I’m trying to find a woman who has never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams and telling myself it’s not as hard as it seems

You Know You’re Nobody’s Fool

Welcome to the Machine (track 02 from the Wish You Were Here LP by Pink Floyd )

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine

Where have you been?
It’s alright, we know where you’ve been

You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and scouting for your boys

You bought a guitar to punish your ma
You didn’t like school, and you know you’re nobody’s fool

So welcome to the machine

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine

What did you dream?
It’s alright, we told you what to dream

You dreamed of a big star:
“He played a mean guitar”
“He always ate in the Steak Bar”
“He loved to drive in his Jaguar”

So welcome to the machine

I Don’t Know If I’ll Be a Star, but I’m Going to Play Guitar

We Can Get Wild (track 05 from the Kill to Get Crimson LP by Mark Knopfler )

We’re old enough for leaving home
The old Joanna and the old trombone
It’s all going on
I’m growing my sideboards long
You and me can be who we want to be
Listen now, right here
It’s going to be a beautiful year

Calling it a teenage scene and I have a dream
Don’t know if I’ll be a star, but I’m going to play guitar
I’ve seen this rocking cat, I wanna be just like that
Listen now, right here
It’s going to be a beautiful year

Look at you baby
Tell your daddy you’re no child
Look at you baby
We can get wild

We’ll be on our own
Billy Fury on a gramophone
Take you to the pictures and a dance in my drainpipe pants
Check the mirror and the old DA and you can play in a day
Listen now, right here
It’s going to be a beautiful year

Look at you baby
Tell your daddy you’re no child
Look at you baby
We can get wild
