Gone Blind well I can`t see
I feel that darkness, coming over me
Deaf and dumb, lost and found
Pain and misery all around
Hands are warm, my heart is cold
My face is young but my spirits old
Gone blind , can`t find my way
Keep on wandering every single day
Lost love, Gone away
My soul is crying its the price I pay
looking here, looking there
I keep on searching everywhere
Eyes of blue and hair of gold
Memorys fading, must be getting old
Gone Blind, well I can`t see
I feel that darkness coming over me
Yeah I`m deaf and dumb
Lost and found
Pain and Misery
is all around
`cos Ive gone blind
I can`t see
and I feel that darkness
coming over me
Gone Blind...
Gone Blind
Blind......

You don`t know
04:21

You don`t know how much I love you
You don`t know how much I care
You can`t imagine how I miss you
when you`re not there
You can`t see the bonds that bind me
and you can`t feel the weight I bear
You can`t feel the fire that burns me
When you`re not there
Well it took so long to find you
Been searching high and searching low
The first moment that I saw you
My heart let me know
Yeah he let me know
You can`t feel the wind that chills me
Cold and biting to the bone
and you can`t see the tears I`m crying
When I`m all alone
You can`t hear the words I`m talking
and you can`t see inside my head
You don`t share the thoughts I`m thinking
Lying in my Bed
Theres a burning fire inside me
and its raging through my Soul
and the times when you`re not with me
Well it grieves me so
Yeah it hurts my Soul
...............Git Interlude...............
You don`t know how much I love you
You don`t know how much I care
You can`t imagine how I miss you
when you`re not there
when you`re not there
when you`re not there
when you`re not there

Rich Man`s War
04:00
|
|||
|
See the soldier with his guns
Bravely marching off to war
Fighting for the rich and greedy
So that they can earn some more
Death and Glory, Honour, Courage
This of you they do espy
Sitting in their golden Castles
Smiling smugly as you die
Band of brothers, Comrades, Duty
Are the bonds they place upon
Young men dying in futility
For wars that never can be won
Meanwhile turn the cogs of war
Costing ever more and more
for Missiles, Guns and Ammunition
To feed these acts of gross Attrition
Hear the names that earn the dollars
Playing on the fields of Strife
They are the names of the politicians
Who`s actions served to start the fight
And if comes peace as they may call it
Even though death still abounds
We`ll engineer another conflicht
To raze a country to the ground
Feed the greed and fight the war
Do not question Rich man`s law
Take your gun and go to fight
for your God and what is right
The rich they sit and fill their Coffers
Looking out for other offers
To scratch the itch of being rich
That never will subside
So the wars continue on
The TV shows another one
Where Rich Man`s Cannonfodder face
Death in a foreign, faraway place
So hail the mighty dollar
Wall street sends a rousing holler
To war as a means towards the end
And the Rich man`s dearest friend
….......Guitar Interlude.........
See the Soldier with his guns
Bravely marching off to War
Fighting for the rich and greedy
So that they can earn some more

The Serious Pedestrian
03:48
|
|||
|
He`s a serious pedestrian, He`s walking down the street
He`s a serious pedestrian someone you`d like to meet
He spends his time just walking no particular place to go
He`s a serious pedestrian...don`t you know
Well he`s been around the World, he`s walked east and he`s walked west
He`s walked across the Desert seen the Sunset in the west
He puts one foot in front of the other, he never slows it down
He`s a serious pedestrian, He`s comin to your town
If you don`t ask no question he won`t tell you any lies
You can see you shouldn`t mess him when you look into his eyes
He don`t know where he`s going and he don`t know where he`s been
He`s a serious pedestrian..travellin on again
Now he don`t need no Greyhound Bus and he don`t need no car
He use his feet to get around, He`s doing fine so far
You never know what Route he`s on, cos he don`t use no Rail
He`s a serious pedestrian...Movin down the Trail
Well he don`t cause no Pollution and he don`t make any dirt
He`s a serious pedestrian and Walkin is his Work
He`s a serious pedestrian Walkin through the World
He`s a serious pedestrian lookin for a girl...
Guitar solo....................
He`s a serious pedestrian, He`s walking down the street
He`s a serious pedestrian someone you`d like to meet
He spends his time just walking no particular place to go
He`s a serious pedestrian...don`t you know
don`t you know.......
don`t you know......

Seconds Out
03:57
|

|
Seconds out - my time has come
No place to hide, no time to run
Sometimes I`m weak, sometimes I`m strong
Sometimes I don`t know whats going on
In my head
The thoughts they keep on tumbling round and round
They crash together, they don`t make no sound
Somtimes I can`t keep my feet on the ground
Do you feel the same?
Seconds out - the time is now
It doesn`t matter, anyhow
Sometimes its dark, sometimes its light
Sometimes its wrong, sometimes its right
In my head
The thoughts they keep on tumbling round and round
They crash together, they don`t make no sound
Sometimes this feeling it just brings me down
Do you feel the same?
Seconds out - my time has gone
And I`ve got to carry on
Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad
Sometimes its happy, sometimes its sad
In my head
The thoughts they keep on tumbling round and round
They crash together, they don`t make no sound
And I don`t know just where it is I´m bound
Do you feel the same?
In my head
The thoughts they keep a tumblin round and round
In my head
Seconds out - in my head
Seconds out - in my head
Seconds out - in my head

Bad Religion
03:42

Water on my head
Give me a name
Tell me I´m a Sinner
and show me my shame
Take me to Church
Make me kneel down
Beg for forgiveness
Down on the ground
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
Nothing is black
Nothing is white
We tell you whats wrong
and we tell you whats right
Man in a Dress
Something is wrong
Watching you all
While you`re singing his Songs
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
You are the Sheep
But I am the Wolf
Gonna eat you all up
with one big gulp
Go up to heaven
Go down to Hell
What is the difference
Nobody can tell
Do as I say and not as we do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
Abusing the children
Robbing the poor
No women allowed
So a boy as a whore
Temples of Gold
So high in the sky
built on deception
corruption and lies
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
War an Destruction
Famine and Strife
in the name of the Master
we Sacrifice
Church on the Left
Church on the right
Priests in the middle
fuelling the fight
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
Read the good book
and fight the good fight
What we are selling
is eternal life
Give us your money
we`ll save your Soul
Believe what we tell you
until you are old
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
Hail the Commandments
written in Stone
Confess to the priests
your Sins to atone
and when at the end
When you`re ready to die
We dont give a damn
Its all been a lie
So do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess with the crew
Do as I say and not as I do
There`ll be Hell to pay
If you mess....... with the crew

Talk to me Baby tell me what you feel
`Cause I can`t look inside your head
I`m falling into helplessness
when you`re lying in my Bed
`Cause love will make you fall apart
and love it will cause you pain
Love will tear your Heart in two
and will make it good again
and now its got a hold of you
Your resistance is in vain

`Cause love will make you deaf and dumb
and love it will make you blind
love will mess your head around
and Preoccupy your mind
.........Guitar solo........
The feelings getting stronger now
and its rushing through your brain
and you just can`t control it now

`Cause Love will make you fall apart

Love will tear your heart in two

Somebody New
05:00
|
|||
|
You don`t love me today
You took your love away
Was it something I said
Or someone else in your head
You been playing around
goin out on the town
Searching for somebody new
and I didn`t have a clue
Baby you tried to play with my heart
Can`t you see we drifted too far apart
Now I`m looking for somebody new
to help me forget about you
Well you hid it so well
So that I couldn`t tell
You kept it all to yourself
You told nobody else
You didn`t look in my eyes
You wove your Web of lies
Had me believing its true
You let me trust in you
Baby you tried to play with my heart
You didn`t care if your hurt left its mark
and I didn`t have a clue what to do
Until I found somebody new
But thats all dead and gone
and I`m the lucky one
`Cause I found somebody new
Someone better than you
She`s everything you`ll never be
Young and Pretty, Wild and free
and I love her and she loves me
and thats the way it was meant to be
Baby now you can`t play with my Heart
Though you try you can`t tear it apart
There ain`t no way you can break it in two
Cos now it belongs to Somebody new
I don`t love you today
thats all I`ve got to say
I never did anyway

Fade Away
04:32
|
|||
|
Dont you cry my pretty one
now the time for you has come
now that theres nothing left to say
You`ll soon be on your way
Slowly slowly slip away
Your light is fading into grey
and theres nothing I can do
to make you stay
Now Im not the only one
whos gonna miss you when you`ve gone
and every single day
in my memory you`ll stay
Slowly slowly slip away
Your light is fading into grey
and there`s nothing I can do
to make you stay
You were me and I was you
Together a perfect two
and though we have to part
you`re forever in my Heart
Slowly slowly slip away
Your light is fading into grey
and theres nothing I can do
to make you stay
......Guitar Interlude......
Now close your eyes and go to sleep
it won`t be long before we meet
On the other side of life
Where theres no trouble and no strife
Slowly slowly fade away
Your light is fading into grey
and theres nothing I can do
to make you stay
Slowly slowly fade away
Your light is fading into grey
and theres nothing I can do
to make you stay

Rain
fallin down
On my head
on the ground
Rain
all around
Making sound
So profound
The snow of age has touched my hair
I can see hard times ahead
Old age ain`t to far away
Life is fading day by day
My troubles they weigh down on me
Ain`t no way out that I can see
I run away inside my head
I wish sometimes that I were dead
Dark
rolling in
Shows the lines, on my skin
Night
follows day
Time
slips away
.................Guitar Interlude.................
Scars....on my Soul
Drag me down
Make me old
Pain.....in my heart
All my dreams torn apart
My heartbeats fading every day
Death is but a breath away
I take myself and run away
Looking for a brighter day
The rain is coming down on me
I close my eyes so I can see
Stumbling on with no direction
Memories and recollections
Rain
falling down
On my head
On the Ground
Rain
all around
Making sound
so profound
I said rain
falling down
On my head
all around
Rain
so profound
Making sound
on the Ground
.................Guitar Interlude................
Yeah yeah Rain
Rain rain rain
I said rain
Rain
Rain

Ticking
06:59

|
The Clock
on the wall is ticking
Ticking my life away
Seconds turn into minutes
turn to hours
turn to days
The Sun
Slowly Sinking
Darkness creeping on the day
My thoughts, they roll and tumble
The day slowly fades to grey
Where have all the good times gone
Well they drifted so far away
How many memories
Will fade, fade away
My head
it is spinning
trying not to slip away
The world, becomes smaller
Nothing , nothings here to stay
No past
and no future
my mind, my mind in disarray
Recollections, of something
just what
I can no longer say
Where have all the good times gone
Well they drifted far away
How many memories
Will fade, fade away
My Head
it is empty
My self has gone astray
Wandering, in confusion
I have lost my way
Strangers
all around me
Names I cannot recall
Loved ones, now forgotten
Slowly into the void I fall
Where have all the good times gone
Well they drifted far away
How many memories
Will fade, fade away
Where have all the good times gone
Why did they drift far away
How many memories
Will I lose today?
The Clock
on the wall is ticking
Ticking my life away
Seconds turn into minutes
turn to hours
turn to days

Lotsa Things
04:02
|
|||
|
Now there lotsa things that gimme the Blues
like no money in my pocket or a hole in my shoe
when I got a Cigarette but I aint got a light
when the people I meet don`t treat me right
Theres one thing I got that helps me through.......I got you
When I get to the station and the train is gone
No long distance line on the Telephone
Drive in my Car and run outta Gas
Talk to a Woman get my face slapped
Theres one thing I got that helps me through........I got you
Now I don`t like people talkin down to me
I don`t like Drugs and they don`t like me
Apply for a job get no reply
beggars in the city with no hope in their eyes
Theres one thing I got that helps me through.......I got you
Guitar Solo..........................................
Play my Guitar but the strings is broke
a good friend of mine trippin out on dope
Kids on the Street with nowhere to go
A loudmouth DJ on the Radio
Theres one thing I got that helps me through.....I got you
Whisky in the Bottle thats watered down
The Atomic plant on the edge of town
TV Talkshows talkin shit
Boys in the Warzone takin Hits
Theres one thing I got that helps me through....I got you
Now all of these things make the world seem bad
got you feeling blue make you feel real sad
so let the good times roll come what may
enjoy yourself you might Die today
Theres one thing you got that helps you through....you got you

Bottles Empty Blues
Well the Bottles empty
and the Pain ...the pain is gome
But its just an illusion
It won`t last long
I been thinkin about my Baby
She been a long time gone
When I woke up this Morning
A voice running round inside my Head
He say,,,you keep away from the Whisky
or you`re gonna end up Dead
You don`t wanna live in the City
With the Sidewalk for a Bed
Well I`m standing at the Station
With a Dollar in my Hand
Ain`t got no Destination
No particular place in Mind
I got a Pistol in my Pocket
and a Suitcase by my Side
I got Blues under my Collar
I got Blues around my Head
I got èm Mornin, Noon and Midnight
When I´m sleepin in my Bed
Yeah them Blues they come a followin
Wherever I may Tread

The Glasses Song
04:10
|
|||
|
Yeah yeah
Well...
Does anybody know where my glasses have gone
I had them on my nose when I wrote this song
They`re small and round and made of glass
Tell me people do you know where they`re at
Does anybody know where my glasses have gone
Well I can`t drive a car I can`t read a book
If i could see, I`d take a look
I took them off when I went to sleep
And they could have been stolen by a goddamn Thief
Does anybody know where my glasses have gone
Well I called up my brother and my sister too
I said „I`m singing this tale of woe to you“
They said „Maybe you lost them on the street“
Or maybe they`re right there under your feet“
well we sure don`t know
Where your glasses have gone
Well I got up to put on my clothes
But I can`t see further than the end of my nose
I maybe left them in the car but I can`t see
Far enough to find the key
Does anybody know where my glasses have gone
Well I went to the Policeman, I said to him
I can`t see a goddamn thing
He said „We`ll send you out the Murder Squad“
But Son they got more important jobs
Well I sure don`t know where your glasses have gone
Well I got home and sat on my Ass
And there was the sound of breaking glass
I`ve found my glasses but I can`t put them on
`Cos they`re Bent and Broken
And thats why, I wrote this Song
Does anybody know where my glasses have gone
I had them on my nose when I wrote this song
Well they`re small and round and made of glass
Tell me people do you know where they`re at
Does anybody know where my glasses have gone
Man talking in the Background.....
Now come on you gotta help me everyone
I can`t see a Goodamn thing
You seen my Glasses?
I put them down here somewhere
I been looking everywhere for those goddamn glasses

Chris Blevins Minden, Germany
I am a working Musician. I earn my living playing Cover songs.
I also write my own material which you will find here. I am
very self critical of my own work and each and every song has a story behind it - some are very personal and give a glimpse into my soul.
I discovered the Music fairly late in life, I was preoccupied with other things. When I found it I knew this was what I was meant to do.
