"Fire It Up" (2012)

Fire It Up lyrics - Joe Cocker

She's sitting staring out a window
Trying to figure out just what to do
The last time that she gave her heart away
It came back broken in two
Like an old abandoned car
She parked it down off Lonely Avenue
And she forget about it till the day
She laid her eves on you

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

He's sitting in a subway station
Watching as the trains go flying by
He used to hate the black man till a black man
Reached out and saved his life
He was pulled out of the darkness
Rescued and blinded by the light
Ain't it crazy how one simple act of kindness
Can open up our eyes

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

Here we are together you and me
Still trying to figure out the world
Searching for a reason to believe
What makes this big ball turn?
But if we hold on to each other
Give love, show love for all love's worth
Yeah, they might call us crazy
But, tell me who's it gonna hurt?
Who's it gonna hurt?

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

I'll Be Your Doctor lyrics - Joe Cocker

What set to wearing

You Love Me Back lyrics - Joe Cocker

We're gasoline and fire
A blessing and a curse
If you wrote us down on paper
You'd swear we'd never work
You'd swear we'd never work
You're nothing like I dreamed
Oh and everything I need

In a crazy world
Coming all apart
You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart
When there's no one left telling me the truth
And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to
When I'm way off track
When I hurt like that
You love me back

Like a magical oasis
I could drink until I drowned
You're the answer to a question when no answers can be found
You turn it all around
You take away my shame
And love me through the pain

In a crazy world
Coming all apart
You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart
When there's no one left telling me the truth
And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to
When I'm way off track
When I hurt like that
You love me back

You love me back
You make it all make sense
You take this man
When I don't think I can
And make me all right again

In a crazy world
Coming all apart
You're my cover you're my lover you're my purple heart
When there's no one left telling me the truth
And I feel there's nothing real there to hold on to
When I'm way off track
When I hurt like that
You love me back.

I Come In Peace lyrics - Joe Cocker

You see me comin'
You feel like runnin'
A wicked look is in your eye
I don't come to harm you
I come to warn you
It's now or never, do or die

I had a vision
A head on collision
A revelation ya
That sent me on a mission

I come in peace
Love is a gold mine ya
Find it you have to seek it
Follow the heart sign
It's flowin' rich and deep
And it's well within our reach
I come in peace
I come in peace

Arrived with nothing
And let me tell you something
We're going out the same way
I got your attention
And maybe I should mention
They'll be no rest till peace is made

Love is a gold mine ya
Find it you have to seek it
Follow the heart sign
It's flowin' rich and deep
And it's well within our reach
I come in peace
I come in peace

I had a vision
A head on collision
A revelation ya
That sent me on a mission

I come in peace
Love is a gold mine ya
Find it you have to seek it
Follow the heart sign
It's flowin' rich and deep
And it's well within our reach
I come in peace
I come in peace.

You Don't Need A Million Dollars lyrics - Joe Cocker

You don't need a million dollars
To wake up naked in the morning
And share a cup of coffee I smile at you smile back at me

You don't need to be a movie star
To see that night sky on your ceiling
Throw me a can of paint and we'll paint some stars

You don't need all of your problems
To melt away like chocolate candies
In your passenger seat on a hot August day

You have everything
You really need
Right here, right now
You have everything
That you really need
Right here, right now with me

If you could see everyone's envy
When you walk around in your cowboy boots
That you found in a pile for a dollar at Wasteland

If you could see what I see
Like a crystal ball your blue eyes
Tell me of our future and it's everything we dreamed

You don't need all of your problems
To melt away like chocolate candies
In your passenger seat on a hot August day

You have everything
You really need
Right here, right now
You have everything
That you really need
Right here, right now
With me

You don't need a million dollars
To throw your head back laughing
To tell yourself it's gonna be fine
Really fine
Really no problems, amazing, every moment is the moment
You can choose, how you feel
You decide what is real and you can make
The truest love you can star in your own movie
You can write this song and sing it back to me
You can see the world is nothing if not love
You can see the world is nothing if not love
You can see the world is nothing if not love
Love, love, love

You have everything
That you really need
Right here, right now
You have everything
That your really need
Right here, right now with me
Right here, right now with me.

Eye On The Prize lyrics - Joe Cocker

Thinkin' back on my younger years,
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my father play
He was the hero of all my dreams

I said daddy: I wanna be in a working band
Daddy, I wanna be the best I can
He said: Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you

All my dreams of yesterday
Coming back through the eyes of my son
I sit back and I watch him play
Realise that live just begun

I said daddy: I wanna be in a working band
Daddy, I wanna be the best I can
He said: Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you

So keep on moving
You gotta keep pushing with your feet on the ground
You can't turn around, nothing comes easy
Nobody's gonna help you
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it's shining
One day you'll find there's a light and it's shining
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you.

Younger lyrics - Joe Cocker

I'm gonna learn to play the blues guitar
I'm gonna drive a fast Italian car
I'm gonna jump out off a plane and fly
I'm gonna find a love and testify

I'm gonna look within and figure out
What this thing called life is all about

When I get young...younger
When I get young...younger

I'm gonna dance with fools and dine with kings
Gonna hear the bells of Paris ring
I'm gonna carve an angel out off wood
I'm gonna give up cigarettes for good

I'm gonna find the perfect words to say
So the one I love won't walk
Away

When I get young...younger
When I get young...younger

They're all on my list of things to do
I'll get to them all before I'm through
And what's still on my plate
When the clock winds down
Will just have to wait
'till my next time around

I'm gonna try to loose a pound or two
I'm gonna sit back and admire the view
I'm gonna memorize a Dylan song
Fix all the things that I've done wrong

And I'll appreciate the friends I've got
Maybe give true love another shot

When I get young...younger
When I get young...younger
When I get young...younger
When I get young...younger

I'm gonna find my way back home
When I get younger, some day.

You Don't Know What You're Doing To Me lyrics - Joe Cocker

When moonlight casts a shadow, on the shores of make believe
I play the part, of the fallen start
I spiral down to the ground to where you are

Inspired by the feeling, of loving from afar
I play the tune of the all consumed
I'm mystified, preoccupied over the moon

You don't know what you're doing to me
My dreams about you never seem to sleep
Well my heart is near exhaustion, by the rapid pace it keeps
You don't know what you're doing to me

What kind of competition, yields such a lovely prize
A silly game but the only way
So deal me in if I'm to win I have (I've got) to play

You don't know what you're doing to me
My dreams about you never seem to sleep
Well my heart is near exhaustion, by the rapid pace it keeps
You don't know what you're doing to me
My whole world is getting smaller
I just want to matter to you
Look at me, I'm such a mess
There's nothing else (not a thing) for me to do

You don't know what you're doing to me
My dreams about you never seem to sleep
Well my heart is near exhaustion, by the rapid pace it keeps
You don't know what you're doing
You don't know what you're doing
No, you don't know what you're doing
To me.

The Letting Go lyrics - Joe Cocker

You can look away
But you can't disguise
The light that shines so brightly
Is gone from your eyes
It wasn't my mistake
It's nothing you did wrong
Sometimes learning to surrender
Is the same as being strong

Letting go
Letting go
The hardest part is knowing
That I'll miss you so
I'd like to wish you well
Oh but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
Yeah

As we walk away
Leaving it all behind
I hope we will be satisfied
With what we'll find
And if it's not all you want
I hope it's good enough
To make it worth
The precious things
We're giving up

Letting go
Letting go
The hardest part is knowing
That I'll miss you so
I'd like to wish you well
Hey but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go

Sometimes late at night
I can't believe the things I hear
An angel comes to me
And whispers in my ears
Saying there's a time to read
And a time of the soul
A time for holding on
And a time
Just for

Letting go
Letting go
The hardest part is knowing
That I'll miss you so
I'd like to wish you well
Girl but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
I'd like to wish you well
Oh but it hurts you know
Sometimes doing what is right
Means letting go
Oh.

I'll Walk In The Sunshine Again lyrics - Joe Cocker

Is that the best that you can do?
Do you think that I won't make it through?
You don't know where I come from
And you don't know what I'm made of

You won't haunt me anymore
I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
There will come a day my friend
I'll walk in sunshine again

So come on bring on all your rain!!
It's only water it won't stay
You turn to ashes on the ground
My sun burns through your black cloud

You won't haunt me anymore
I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
There will come a day my friend
I'll walk in sunshine again.

Weight Of The World lyrics - Joe Cocker

I see you walk, you walk alone,
Every day you roll that stone
I see you cry your silent way
Dry your eyes, don't you be afraid

Let me take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Come on, girl
Let me make you believe you're not alone
Oh, I know your heart is heavy,
But I will carry it if you let me,
I will carry the weight of the world for you, baby, yes I will
I will carry the weight of the world

You think you seen your better day
But I believe it's not too late

Let me take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Come on, girl
Let me make you believe you're not alone
Oh, I know your heart is heavy,
But I will carry it if you let me,
I will carry the weight of the world for you, baby, yes I will

We all need somebody, girl
Someone to lean on,
Someone to carry the weight of the world

Let me take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Come on, girl
Let me make you believe you're not alone
Oh, I know your heart is heavy,
But I will carry it if you let me,
I will carry the weight of the world for you, baby, yes, I will
I will carry the weight of the world.

The Last Road lyrics - Joe Cocker

I don't want to live forever
Though I wish for nothin' better
Than forever with you

Baby don'cha say you're leaving
Ain't no way I'll stop believing
Just hold on tight
Hold on tight
To me

Burn the headlights
Till the night is gone
Pull me closer
If you say it's over
Then you're wrong

Cause this ain't the last road
The brave ones never run home
Tonight we will live fast
And die young
We never dance alone
Tonight
We could drive a million places
And listen to a million places
And listen to a million stations
You know
I'll sing along
With you

Burn the headlights
Till the night is gone
Pull me closer
If you say it's over
Then you're wrong

'Cause this ain't the last road
The brave ones never run home
Tonight we live fast
And die young
But we never dance alone
'Cause this ain't the last road
We'll pave the highway in gold
Stand by and me and don't leave
Lonely
This ain't the last road

Have a lil' faith in me
Hold on
Hold on
'Cause I don't believe
In time
This time
Don't say goodnight

'Cause babe it's our last road
We'll pave the highway in gold
Won't take a single step
Without you
Without you by my side
'Cause this ain't the last road
'Cause this ain't the last road
The brave ones never run home
Tonight we live fast
And die young
But we never dance alone
'Cause tis ain't the last road
Tonight
Tonight

Walk Through The World With Me lyrics - Joe Cocker

I'm writing you this letter from some old hotel
I can feel the distance between us
From the Spanish Steps to the Liberty Bell
I know the angels have seen us, seen us, baby

They see you down on Seventh Avenue
While you're just hanging by a thread
And I'm sitting in a lonely room without a view
Wishing I was there with you instead

Won't you walk through this world with me
Walk through the world
Over the miles of mystery
Walk through this world with me

I'm staring out across the rooftops
I've seen the writing on the wall
Heard a little bit of thunder at the seventh wonder
But everything is bound to rise and fall, that's all

Walk through this world with me
Walk through the world
Over the miles of mystery
Walk through this world with me
Walk on, walk on, walk on

Let me get this ringing out of my ears
Let me get these stars out of my eyes
'Cause I just want to look back over all the years
With you right there standing by my side

Walk through this world with me
Walk through the world
You know, over the miles of mystery
Walk through this world with me

Walk through the world with me
Walk through the world
Over the mountains and the shining sea,
Walk through the world with me

Walk through the world
Walk through the world
Walk through the world

Over the mountains and the shining sea,
Walk through the world with me.

"Hard Knocks" (2010)

Hard Knocks lyrics - Joe Cocker

Oh yeah

Didn't take nothing that I didn't need
'Cause they didn't offer classes in what I want to be
They didn't offer manhood responsibility
Had to learn it the hard way, earn my degree in the streets

Graduated from hard knocks, I got my education
And hard knocks cared a little about the situation
Hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Hard knocks

Can't bust through the ceiling without feeling the burn
And I ain't got nothing that I didn't earn
Chasing that dollar, still hitting the books
Studying Donnie and Stevie, I learn to sail the hooks

Talk about those hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Hard knocks, got the rhyme and the reason to choose it
Hard knocks out on the streets
Hard knocks

Had a real good teacher named Mr. Life
Didn't teach no chemistry but he taught me how to fight
Didn't teach biology but I learned it from the birds and the bees
Said stay close to your friends, closer to your enemies

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that's right
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so right

I graduated from hard knocks, I got my education
And hard knocks getting in and out of situations
Hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Hard knocks, oh Lord

Feeling at my soul, all the heads in pain
From my hard knocks
I've got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Deep inside, oh yeah

Get On lyrics - Joe Cocker

Hey

Well, you've been wearing your burden like a two ton chain
Take it off, throw it down
Send that petty party packing on the midnight train
Get it gone, ship it out

Call him all curvy, skinny, don't matter ugly, pretty
Let's talk it down and dirty

If you wanna catch a ride through a good time
This is a song, get on
And if you wanna have a party, we can start it right
What you waiting on, get on

Don't let it slip away, it's all about today
Hear all the people say, get on, baby, get on

We got that boom, boom, bumping like a downtown quake
Wake it up, shake it down
We got the girls, all jumping at the Tucson Lake
Feel the love moving 'round

The party's getting hotter, we got the fire, water
Turn up some Joe Cocker

If you wanna catch a ride through a good time
This is a song, get on
And if you wanna have a party, we can start it right
What you waiting on, get on

Don't let it slip away, it's all about today
Hear all the people say, oh, get on, baby, get on

Get on, get on
Get on, get on, get on, get on, help me, ladies
Get on, get on, get on, get on, turn it up
Get on, get on, get on, get on, turn it up
Get on, get on, get on, get on all day

If you wanna catch a ride through a good time
This is a song, get on
And if you wanna have a party, we can start it right
What you waiting on, get on

Don't let it slip away, it's all about today
Hear all the people say right now

We'll get you feeling right, just rock it and we'll talk
We'll rock it all night
Oh, get on, baby, get on, life, get on
Don't let the meek get on, that was get on

Unforgiven lyrics - Joe Cocker

As long as I
am unforgiven
As far as I am pushed away
As much as life seems less for living
I still try
Let me say

For you
I'd do it all in a heartbeat
I know I can anytime
The time we'd find in a heartbeat
Is endless
As long as you're mine

If everyone would tell the truth
If I could only tell you why
If knowing me is any use to you
I'd still try
Let me say

For you
I'd do it all in a heartbeat
I know I can everytime
The time we'd find in a heartbeat
Is endless
As long as you're mine

For you
I'd do it all in a heartbeat
I know I can everytime
The time we'd find in a heartbeat
Is endless
As long as you're mine

The Fall lyrics - Joe Cocker

Strange how this world works
I don't care about your place
You better believe you're gonna get her
You gotta let go, it's out of your hands

One day you're gonna look back
See the reason that you got back

It's all in the fall
That's when you find out what you're all about
We've all been hurt, we've all been burnt
You get knocked down, kicked around, then you get back up
It's all in the fall, starting over again, starting over again

Somebody once told me
Trouble is trouble's gonna be coming your way
When the world gets dark and lonely
You might stumble and fall but you get through it all
It's gonna be okay

One day you're gonna look back
And see it all happen so damn fast, so fast

It's all in the fall
That's when you find out what you're all about
We've all been hurt, we've all been burnt
You get knocked down, kicked around and then you get back up
It's all in the fall

You don't know who you are till it all comes tumbling down
Next thing you know you've found

That it's all in the fall
That's when you find out what you're all about
Yes, it's all in the fall
That's when you find out what you're all about

We've all been hurt, we've all been burnt
You get knocked down, kicked around and then you get back up
It's all in the fall, it's all in the fall, starting over again
Starting over again

So It Goes lyrics - Joe Cocker

Just a girl without a name
I pass her by every day
She hangs around so no one knows
And so it goes

Down the street lives a man
An empty house and empty hands
What's inside no one knows
And so it goes

So it goes, no one knows
One more angel cries alone
People come and then they go
And no one knows

Is this really, really over us
I don't know, no one knows
When my searching comes to an end
Truth be told, no one knows

Is this really, really over us
I don't know, no one knows
And when my searching comes to an end
Truth be told, no one knows

Played on grass on the hill
One lone creature standing still
Gives a prayer but no one hears
And no one knows

And so it goes, no one knows
One more angel flying home
We all hope we're not alone
And no one knows

Just a girl without a name
I pass her by everyday
