The Cry Of Love (1971)












Freedom lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

You got my pride
Hangin' out of my bed
You messing with my life
So I bought my lead
You even messin' with my children
And you're screaming at my wife, baby
Get off of my back
If you wanna get outta here alive

(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) That's what I want now
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) That's what I need now
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) To live
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) So I can give

You got my heart
Spittin' electric water
You got my soul
Screamin' and holl'rin'
You're 'bout to hook my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
But I don't need it now
Unless you're trying to slap it out of her hand

(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) So I can live
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) So I can give
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) Yeah
(Freedom) Freedom!
(Give it to me) That's what I need

You don't have to
Say that you love me
If you don't mean it
You better believe
If you need me
Or you just want to bleed me
Better sticking your dagger in someone else
So I can leave
Set me free!

(Keep on pushing) Right on
(Straight ahead) Straight ahead
(Keep on pushing) Straight up there
(Straight ahead) Straight ahead, freedom!
(Keep on pushing) So I can live, babe
(Straight ahead) Freedom!
(Keep on pushing) So that I can give
(Straight ahead) Freedom!
Keep on pushing! (So I can live)
Straight ahead! (Freedom)
Keep on pushing!
Straight ahead!
Keep on pushing!

Drifting lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love

Sailing home

Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home

Ezy Ryder lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Riding down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
Takes him higher
Trying to find his heaven above
But he is dying to be loved

He's telling me living
Is so magic
Something is forever
So he claims
He's talking 'bout lying
It is so tragic, baby
But don't you worry about today
We got freedom coming our way

How long
Do you think
He's gonna last
Carrying out on a gas [?]

See all the others say
Do what you please
Got to get the brothers together
And the right to be free
In a cloud of angel dust
I think I see me a freak
Hey motorcycle mama
You gonna marry me? Ha-ha

I will be stone crazy
Love coming in at you
Stone crazy baby

There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin' down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
Takes him higher
Tryin' to find his heaven above
But he's dyin' to be loved, dyin' to be loved

Night Bird Flying lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

She's just a night bird flying through the night
Fly on
She's just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
Sail on, sail on
Well, she's flying down to me
But, 'til tomorrow got to set her free
Set her free

So all we got, baby, is one precious night
All we got is one precious night
Throw all your blues and shoes and things
And rags down under the bed
Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings
Better hear what I say, yeah
Oh, carry me home
Please take me through your dreams
Inside your world I want to be

Until tomorrow no tears will be shed
Hold on 'til the sun gets out of bed
Hold on, hold on, baby
Fly on
Sail on, sail on , sail on
Sail on

My Friend lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

"Hey, look out for my glass up there, man
That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright
Make it a double, or eh
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
I don't know"

You all pass me that bottle
And I'll sing you all a real song
Yeah
Let me get my key, ahem

Well, I'm looking through Harlem
My stomach squeal just a little more
A stagecoach full of feathers and footprints
Pulls up to soap-box door
Now a lady with a pearl-handled necktie
Tied to the driver's fence
Breathes in my face
Bourbon and coke possessed words
"Haven't I seen you somewhere in hell
Or was it just an accident?"
(You know how I felt then, and so)

Before I could ask "Was it the East or West side?"
My feet they howled in pain
The wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep
But not as deep in my mind as the rain
And as they pulled away, I could see her words
Stagger and fall on my muddy tent
Well I picked them up, brushed them off
To see what they say
And you wouldn't believe
"Come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle
And bring along the bottle and a president"

And eh sometimes it's not so easy, baby
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do just the same as him
(Gets very lonely up this road, baby)
(Yeah, hmm, yeah)
(Got more to say)

Well I'm riding through LA (huh)
On a bicycle built for a fool
And I seen one of my old buddies
And he say, "You don't look the way you usually do"
I say, "Well, some people look like a coin-box"
He says, "Looks like you have got no coins to spare"
And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this
I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone
And combed this breath right out of my hair

And eh sometimes it's not so easy
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do just the same as him

I just got out of a Scandinavian jail
And I'm on my way straight home to you
But I feel so dizzy, I take a quick look in the mirror
To make sure my friend's here with me too
And you know good well I don't drink coffee
So you fill my cup full of sand
And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom
Cherry lipstick around the broken edge
And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on
And your cat he attacks me from his pill-box ledge
And I thought you were my friend too
Man, my shadow comes in line before you

I'm finding out that it's not so easy, baby
Especially when your only friend
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you
And you do the same just like him

(Lord it's so lonely here, hmm, yeah)
Yeah!
(Pass me that bottle over there)
Yeah, yeah, okay

Straight Ahead lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Hello my friend
So happy to see you again
I was so alone
All by myself I just couldn't make it

Have you heard baby
What the wind's blowin' 'round
Have you heard baby
A whole lot a people's coming right on down

Communication, yeah, is coming on strong
I don't give a damn baby
If your hair is short or long

I said get out of your grave
Oh, everybody is dancing in the street
Do what you know
Do not be slow
You got to practice what you preach
Yeah, because it is time for you and me
Come to face reality

Forget about the past baby
Things ain't what they used to be
Keep on straight ahead
Keep on straight ahead

Straight ahead baby
Straight ahead baby
Whoo!

We got to stand side by side
We got to stand together and organize
Send power to the people, that's what they're screaming
Freedom of the soul
Pass it on, pass it on, to the young and the old

You got to tell the children the truth
They don't need a whole lot of lies
Because one of these days, baby
They'll be running things
So when you give them love
You better give it right
Woman and child, man and wife
The best love to have is the love of life

Hello my friend
It's so good to see you again
Hey now I've been all by myself
I don't think I can make it alone

Astro Man lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Here I come to save the day

A little boy inside a dream just the other day
His mind fell out of his face, and the wind blew it away
A hand came out from Heaven and pinned a badge on his chest
It said, "Get out there, man, and a-do your best"
Uh

They call him "Astro Man"
And he is flying higher than
That old faggot Superman
Ever could

Oh, they call him "Cosmic Nut"
And he's twice as dense as Donald Duck
And he will try his best to screw you up
The rest of your mind

Oh, look out, my guitars!

Astro man
Flying across the sky
Ten times higher
Then that old faggot Superman
Ever, ever could
Ever could

There he goes, there he goes
Where he stops? No one knows
There he goes, there he goes, uh

He is trying to, trying to blow out the rest of your mind
He's gonna blow out the rest of your mind
Talking about looking for peace of mind
Astro man will leave it in pieces
Have you put our trouble behind him
Make you fly around in pieces
Yeah, blow out the rest of your mind
Astro man will blow out the rest of your mind
He's gonna blow out the rest of your mind
Wu-hu, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Blow out the rest of your mind

Angel lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Angel came down from Heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she is gonna come back tomorrow

And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow, I'm gonna be by your side"

Sure enough, this morning came on to me
Silver-winged, silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel, she said unto me
"Today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you are gonna be my man, you are gonna rise"
And then she took me high over yonder

And I said, "Fly on, my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Forever I will be by your side"

In From The Storm lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Well I, I just came back today
I just came back from the storm
Yeah

I said, I just came back, baby
I just came back from the storm
Yeah, from the storm

Well, I did not know it then
But I was suffering, suffering
For my love to keep me warm

It was so cold and lonely, yeah
The wind and crying blue rain
Were tearing me up

It was so cold and lonely, yeah
The wind and crying blue rain
Were tearing me up

I want to thank you, my sweet darling
For digging in the mud and picking me up
Thank you so much

It was a crying blue rain, the burning my eyes
The wind and lightning struck by surprise
It was you, my love, who brought me in
I love you so much
I'll never stray from you again
Hey

I just came back today
I just came back to get my baby on her way
Yeah, yeah

Belly Button Window lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

Well, I'm up here in this womb
I'm looking all around
Well, I am looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I am wondering if they don't want me around

What seems to be the fuss out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
Because you know if you just do not want me this time around
Yeah, I will be glad to go back to spirit land
And even take a longer rest
Before I am coming down the chute again

Man, I sure remember the last time, baby
They were still hawking about me then
So if you don't want me now
Make up your mind, where or when
If you don't want me now
Give or take, you only got two hundred days
Because I ain't coming down this way too much more again

You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills
But I think you are just a little too late
So I'm coming down into this world, daddy
Regardless of love and hate
And I'm gonna sit up in your bed, mama
And just grin right in your face
And then I'm gonna eat up all your chocolates
And say, "I hope I'm not too late!"

So if there is any questions
Make up your mind
Because you better give or take
Questions in your mind
Give it or take
You only got two hundred days

Well, I'm up here in this womb
Looking all around, sure is dark in here
I'm looking out my belly button window
And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they want me around
