AGAINST THE WIND
Words and Music by Bob Seger

recorded by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
It seems like yesterday, but it was long ago.
Janey was lovely. She was the queen of my nights,
There in the darkness with the radio playin’ low,
And the secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved,
Caught like a wild fire out of control
Till there was nothin’ left to burn and nothin’ left to prove.
And I remember what she said to me, how she swore that it never would end.
I remember how she held me oh so tight,
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.
Against the wind, we were runnin’ against the wind.
We were young and strong, we were runnin’ against the wind.
And the years rolled slowly past. And I found myself alone,
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends.
I found myself further and further from my home, and I guess I lost my way.
There were oh so many roads. I was livin’ to run and runnin’ to live.
Never worried about payin’, or even how much I owed.
Movin’ eight miles a minute for months at a time, breakin’ all of the rules that would bend,
I began to find myself searchin’, searchin for shelter again and again.
Against the wind, little somethin’ against the wind.
I found myself seekin’ shelter against the wind.
Well, those drifter’s days are past me now.
I’ve got so much to think about: deadlines and commitments,
What to leave in, what to leave out.
Against the wind, I’m still runnin’ against the wind.
I’m older now, but still runnin’ against the wind.
Well, I’m older now, and still runnin’ against the wind,
Against the wind.

Your love is rain, my heart the flower.
I need your love or I will die.
My very life is in your power.
Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky?
Agua de beber,

The rain can fall on distant deserts.
The rain can fall upon the sea.
The rain can fall upon the flower.
Since the rain has to fall, let it fall on me.

En quis amar mas tive medo.

En nunca fiz coisa tao certa.
Entrei pro escola do perdao.

Abre todas as portas do coracao.

Eu sempre tive uma certeza,
Que so me deu desilusao.
E que o amor e uma tristeza.
Muita magoa demais para um coracao.

A standard recorded by Dean Martin and various other artists
How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me!
Like the fella once said,
Ain’t that a kick in the head?
The room was completely black;
I hugged her and she hugged back!
Like the sailor said, quote,
Ain’t that a hole in the boat?
My head keeps spinning,
I go to sleep and keep grinning!
If this is just the beginning,
My life is gonna be bee-u-tee-ful!
I’ve sunshine enough to spread;
It’s just like the fella said.
Tell me quick,
Ain’t love a kick in the head?
How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me!

Ain’t that a kick in the head?
The room was completely black;
I hugged her and she hugged back!
Like the sailor said, quote,
Ain’t that a hole in the boat?
My head keeps spinning,
I go to sleep grinning!
If this is just the beginning,
My life is gonna be bee-u-tee-ful!
She’s telling me we’ll be wed,
She’s picked out a king-sized bed;
I couldn’t feel any better or I’d be sick!
Tell me quick,
Ain’t love a kick in the head?

Alice in Wonderland, how do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or underland or just behind the tree?
When clouds go rolling by, they roll away and leave the sky.
Where is the land beyond the eye that people cannot see?
Where can it be? Where do stars go? Where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon.
Alice in Wonderland, where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there? I wonder where.

Oh, it’s so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress.
I’m not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines,
’Cause I don’t know if you are loving somebody. I only know it isn’t mine.
Refrain:
Alison, I know this world is killing you,
Oh, Alison, my sin is true.
Well, I see you got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand. I’ll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking when
I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light, ’cause I can’t stand to see you this way.

Refrain: All alone am I,
Ever since your goodbye,
All alone with just the beat of my heart.
People all around,
But I don’t hear a sound,
Just the lonely beating of my heart.
No use in holding other hands,
For I’d be holding only emptiness.
No use in kissing other lips,
For I’d be thinking just of your caress.
Refrain Twice
No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again.
The words you used to whisper low,
No other love can ever bring again.

You start to light
Her cigarette
And all at once
You love her.
You’ve scarcely talked,
You’ve scarcely met,
But all at once
You love her.
You like her eyes,
You tell her so.
She thinks you’re wise
And clever.
You kiss goodnight
And then you know
You’ll kiss goodnight
Forever!
You wonder where your heart can go
And all at once you know.

I’m so unhappy. What’ll I do?
I long for somebody who will sympathize with me.
I’m growing so tired of living alone. I lie awake all night and cry.
Nobody loves me, that’s why.
All by myself in the morning, all by myself in the night,
I sit alone with a table and a chair,
So unhappy there, playing solitaire
All by myself.
I get lonely, watching the clock on the shelf.
I’d love to rest my weary head on somebody’s shoulder.
I hate to grow older
All by myself.

When I was young, I never needed anyone,
And making love was just for fun.

Livin’ alone, I think of all the friends I’ve known.
But when I dial the telephone,
Nobody’s home.

All by myself,
Don’t wanna be all by myself anymore.

And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure.

I’m lying alone with my head on the phone,
Thinking of you ’til it hurts.
I know you hurt too, but what else can we do,
Tormented and torn apart.
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart,
For times when my life feels so low.
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring,
When today doesn’t really know, doesn’t really know.
Refrain:
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you,
I know you were right, believing for so long.
I’m all out of love, what am I without you?
I can’t be too late to say that I was so wrong.
I want you to come back and carry me home,
Away from these long, lonely nights.
I’m reaching for you. Are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh, so right?
And what would you say if I called on you now,
And said that I can’t hold on?
There’s no easy way, it gets harder each day,
Please love me or I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone.

Ooh, what are you thinking of?

When somebody loves you, it’s no good unless he loves you all the way.
Happy to be near you, when you need someone to cheer you all the way.
Taller than the tallest tree is, that’s how it’s got to feel.
Deeper than the deep blue sea is, that’s how deep it goes, if it’s real.
When somebody needs you, it’s no good unless she needs you all the way.
Thru the good or lean years and for all the in between years, come what may.
Who knows where the road will lead us, only a fool would say.
But if you let me love you, it’s for sure I’m gonna love you all the way, all the way.

How he’d kick it in the head when he reached twenty-five. That speed jive.
Don’t want to stay alive when you’re twenty-five.

And Freddy’s got spots from ripping off stars from his face.

Like sailin’ on a sailin’ ship to nowhere,
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze.
As seagulls fly, I knew that I was losin’.
Love was washed away with the driftin’ tide.
Refrain:
Oh, it’s a dirty old shame when all you get from love is a love song
That’s got you layin’ up nights just waitin’ for the music to start.
It’s such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song,
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart.
And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding.
The future that lies before me I cannot see.
Although tomorrow I know the sun is risin’,
Lighting up the world for ev’ryone, but not for me.

Oh, in a little while from now, if I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower.
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever what it’s like when you’re shattered,
Left standing in the lurch at a church where people saying,
My God that’s tough, she’s stood him up, no point in us remaining. We may as well go home.
As I did on my own; alone again, nat’rally.
To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful bright and gay;
Looking forward to, well, who wouldn’t do the role I was about to play:
But as if to knock me down, reality came around;
And without so much, as a mere touch, cut me into little pieces:
Leaving me to doubt talk about God in his mercy,
Who if he really does exist why did he desert me in my hour of need?
I truly am indeed alone again, nat’rally.
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can’t be mended,
Left unattended: what do we do?
What do we do?
Now looking back over the years, and whatever else that appears;
I remember I cried, when my father died, never wishing to hide the tears:
And at sixty five years old, my mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t understand why the only man she had ever loved had been taken:
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken,
Despite encouragement from me no words were ever spoken:
And when she passed away I cried and cried all day:
Alone again, nat’rally. Alone again, nat’rally.

Oh, Bill,
Why can’t you behave?
Oh, why can’t you behave?
How in hell can you be jealous,
When you know, baby, I’m your slave?
I’m just mad for you,
And I’ll always be,

Asks me out for something wet,
When the vet begins to pet,
I cry, Hooray!
But I’m always true to you, darlin’,

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.

Through his pass is middle class,
And not Back Bay!
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion,

By a big tycoon in steel.
If the meal includes a deal,
Accept I may!
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion,
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
I could never curl my lip
To a dazzlin’ diamond clip,
Though the clip meant let ’er rip,
I’d not say Nay!
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion,
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
There’s an oil man known as Tex
Who is keen to give me checks,
And his checks I fear,
Mean that Tex is here to stay!

But when it comes to the lovin’ part, one thing is true;
My baby’s genuine USA, red, white, and blue.

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they’d be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With ev’ry paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride.
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died. So
Refrain:
Bye-bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye,
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die. This’ll be the day that I die.
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above?
If the Bible tells you so.
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
’Cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck.
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singing
Refrain
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own,
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone
But that’s not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned,
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin’
Refrain
Helter-skelter in the summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and fallin’ fast,
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
But we never got the chance
’Cause the players tried to take the field,
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singin’
Refrain
And there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
’Cause fire is the devil’s only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fits of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan’s spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin’
Refrain
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets the children screamed,
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most,
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singin’

I don’t have to say a word to you,
You seem to know whatever mood I’m going through.
Feel as though I’ve known you forever.
You can look in to my eyes and see
The way I feel and how the world is treating me.
Maybe I have known you forever.
Refrain:
Amigos para siempre
means you’ll always be my friend.
Amigos para siempre
means a love that cannot end.
Friends for life, not just a summer or a spring,
Amigos para siempre.
I feel you near me even when we are apart.
Just knowing you are in this world can warm my heart.
Friends for life, not just a summer or a spring,
Amigos para siempre.
We share memories I won’t forget.
And we’ll share more, my friend, we haven’t started yet.
Something happens when we’re together.
When I look at you I wonder why
There has to come a time when we must say good-bye.
I’m alive when we are together.

There’s nothing left for me,
Of days that used to be
I live in memory among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue,
A photograph or two,
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest,
And though they do their best to give me consolation,
I count them all apart,
And as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.

Come on, babe, w

And all that jazz!
I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down,
And all that jazz!
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot,
Where the gin is cold but the piano’s hot.
It’s just a noisy hall where there’s a nightly brawl,
And all that jazz!
Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes,
And all that jazz!
I hear that Father Dip is gonna blow the blues,
And all that jazz!
Hold on, hon, we’re gonna bunny hug,
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug,
In case we shake apart and want a brand new start
To do that jazz!
Oh, I’m gonna see my Sheba shimmy shake.
(And all that jazz!)
Oh, she’s gonna shimmy till her garters break.
(And all that jazz!)
Show her where to park her girdle,
Oh, her mother’s blood’d curdle
If she’d hear her baby’s queer
For all that jazz!
Voice 1:
Find a flask, we’re playing fast and loose,
And all that jazz!
Right up here is where I store the juice,
And all that jazz!
Come on babe, we’re gonna brush the sky.

’Cause in the stratosphere, how could he lend an ear

All but love is dead, that is my belief.

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed.
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn’t said.
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies,
Except for the few that were there in your eyes.
Dear, as I held you so close in my arms,
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms.
Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,
My darling, I love you so.
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn.
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on.
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime,
We’d find that our love is unaltered by time.

An anniversary dream come true.
Let this be the anthem to our future years,
To millions of smiles and a few little tears.
May I always listen to
The anniversary waltz with you.

Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low.
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet;
Machine guns ready to go.
Are you ready, hey! Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat.
Refrain:
Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
And another one gone,
and another one gone.
Another one bites the dust.
Hey! I’m gonna get you too.
Another one bites the dust.
How do you think I’m going to get along
Without you when you’re gone?
You took me for ev’rything that I had
And kicked me out on my own.
Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat.

4 Times:
Another one bites the dust.
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground.
You can beat him, you can cheat him,
you can treat him bad,
And leave him when he’s down.
But I’m ready, yes, I’m ready for you.
I’m standing on my own two feet.

Another op’nin’ of another show.
Another job that you hope, at last,
Will make your future forget your past.
Another pain, where the ulcers grow,
Another op’nin’ of another show!
Four weeks you rehearse and rehearse.
Three weeks and it couldn’t be worse.
One week, will it ever be right?
Then out of the hat it’s that big first night!

You cross your fingers and hold your heart.
It’s curtain time and away we go.

I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long,
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true.
Being used to trouble I anticipate it,
But all the same I hate it, wouldn’t you?
Refrain:
So what happens now?
(Choir: Another suitcase in another hall.)
So what happens now?
(Choir: Take your picture off another wall.)
Where am I going to?
(Choir: You’ll get by, you always have before.)
Where am I going to?
Time and time again I’ve said that I don’t care,
That I’m immune to gloom, that I’m hard through and through.
But every time it matters all my words desert me,
So anyone can hurt me and they do.
Refrain
Call in three months time and I’ll be fine, I know.
Well, maybe not that fine, but I’ll survive anyhow.
I won’t recall the names and places of each sad occasion,
But that’s no consolation here and now.

I’m no prophet, I don’t know nature’s ways.

I closed my eyes,
Drew back the curtain,
To see for certain
What I thought I knew.
Far, far away,
Someone was weeping,
But the world was sleeping.
Any dream will do.
I wore my coat,
With golden lining,
Bright colours shining,
Wonderful and new.
And in the east,
The dawn was breaking,
And the world was waking.
Any dream will do.
A crash of drums,
A flash of light,
My golden coat
Flew out of sight.
The colours faded into darkness,
I was left alone.
May I return,
To the beginning?
The light is dimming,
And the dream is too.
The world and I,
We are still waiting,
Still hesitating.
Any dream will do.

Till I’m in the arms of my darling again
My heart will find no home.
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam.
Her voice was oh such a soft caress
Of love it gently told.
And in her smile was the tenderness
I may never more behold.

Sitting on a park bench,
Eyeing little girls with bad intent,
Snot is running down his nose,
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Hey, Aqualung.
Drying in the cold sun,
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Hey Aqualung.
Feeling like a dead duck,
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Oh, Aqualung.
Sun streaking cold, an old man wand’ring lonely,
Taking time the only way he knows.
Legs hurting bad as he bends to pick a dogend.
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet.
Feeling alone, the army’s up the road,
Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea.
Aqualung, my friend, don’t you start away uneasy.
You poor old sod, you see it’s only me.
Do you still remember? December’s foggy freeze
When the ice that clings onto your beard was screaming agony?
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
Sitting on a park bench,
Eyeing little girls with bad intent,
Snot is running down his nose,
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Hey Aqualung. Drying in the cold sun,

I woke up this morning with a feeling of despair,
I telephoned my baby but she wasn’t there.
Heard someone knocking, and much to my surprise,
There stood my baby, looking in my eyes.
Crazy little mama come knock, knock, knocking
Just like she did it before.
If you got a little mama and ya want to get along,
Teach your little mama right from wrong.
Tell her that you love her like you did before,
She’ll come knock, knock, knocking at your door.
Crazy little mama come knock, knock, knocking
Just like she did before.
AUF WIEDERSEH’N, SWEETHEART

Auf Wiederseh’n, auf Wiederseh’n,
We’ll meet again, sweetheart.
This lovely day has flown away;
The time has come to part.
We’ll kiss again, like this again;
Don’t let the teardrops start.
With love that’s true, I’ll wait for you,
Auf Wiederseh’n, sweetheart.

Well, now it takes more than a robin to make the winter go;
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow.
Well, it takes two hearts a-cookin’ to make a fire grow,
And, baby, you’ve got what it takes.
You know it takes a lot of kissin’ to make a romance sweet.
Ooh, it takes a lot of lovin’ to make my life complete;
And it takes a lot of woman to knock me off my feet,
And, baby, you’ve got what it takes.
I say mm, uh-huh-huh, mm,
You know you’ve got just what it takes.
Because it takes more than an effort to stay away from you.
It takes more than a lifetime to prove that I’ll be true;
But it takes somebody special to make me say, I do,
And, baby, you’ve got what it takes.

Understand, girl, that my heart is in your hands
And I’m cautious of falling in love again.
So, please don’t hurt me.
I’m scared. Don’t desert me.
I’m afraid of being the fool again.
Refrain:
So, baby, I’m yours if you want me.
Baby, I’m yours if you need me.
Loving you forever if you want me.
Baby I’m yours if you need me.
Realize, girl, that my faith is kind of torn.
Watch your step, because my heart is weak and worn.
So, won’t you please be careful,
I’m fragile. I can’t imagine the damage
I have to handle if you hurt me one more time.
Please be mine.
Refrain
Spoken:
Baby, I’ve been through a whole lot of relationships,
Whole lot of broken promises, but now
I’m ready for a real one, sweetheart.
Sung:
Yes I am. You don’t have to worry, baby.
Don’t you ever go nowhere.
Baby, I’m, baby, baby, I’m yours. (Repeat 8 Times)
