I said you need a friend Someone who'll stick with you to the end

Μάντεψε...

ακόμη ένας αγαπημένος δίσκος είχε κυκλοφορήσει Μάρτιο -1η του 74, κι εγώ ο..... το ξέχασα...-

Αυτή την φορά θα μιλήσουμε για τους Κανδούς Rush οι οποίοι η μαγική τους τριπλέτα (Geddy Lee -φωνή, μπάσο ποδόπληκτα /στα live- Αlex Lifeson -κιθάρα- John Rutsey -τύμπανα- πρώτος και τελευταίος δίσκος γι αυτόν λόγω διαβήτη, θα αντικατασταθεί απο τον γίγαντα Neil Pearl) σε αυτόν τον -πρώτο τους- δίσκο βαράνε άκρως heavy rock... (επηρεασμένοι απο Led Zeppelin κάργα, κάποιοι λένε και λίγο Cream) -μετά το γυρίσανε σε progressive rock-

ο δίσκος εμπνέει ακόμα και σήμερα...

Με κομματάρες όπως τα -ledzeppeliνικά- Find my way, What you're doing, το -καθαρό rushικό- Working man, και το -lynyrskynyrdικό- In the mood βοήθησαν στις πωλήσεις να γίνει χρυσός στην Αμερική (500.000 κόπιες) και να φτάσει μέχρι την 105η θέση στο billborad 200...

το track list είναι το εξής:

1. Find my way
2. Need some love
3. Take a friend
4. Here Again
5. What you're doing
6. In the mood
7. Before and after
8. Working man

Για μένα το Working man είναι μακράν το καλύτερο, γιατί είναι το μόνο που θα θυμίζει στους επόμενους δίσκους τον γνώριμο ήχο, μελωδία και δομή των Rush...

Για τους μη-μυημένους ας ακούσουν το Working man...

Οι υπόλοιποι απολαύστε άφοβα...

Yeah, oh yeah!
Ooh, said I, I'm comin' out to get you.
Ooh, sit down, I'm comin' out to find you.
Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah.
Findin' my way!

I've been gone so long
I've lost count of the years.
Well, I sang some sad songs,
Oh yes, and cried some bad tears.

Look out! I'm comin', whoa, whoa,
Look out! I'm comin', whoa, yeah.

I'm runnin', finding my way back home.
Oh yeah!

Yeah, oh yeah!
Ooh, said I, I'm comin' back to look for you.
Ooh, sit down, I'm goin' by the back door.
Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah.
Findin' my way!

You've done me no right,
But you've done me some wrong.
Left me lonely each night
While I sing my sad song.

Look out! I'm comin', whoa, whoa.
Look out! I'm comin', whoa, yeah.

I'm runnin', findin' my way back home.

I'm comin'.
Ooh, babe, I said I'm runnin'.
Whoa, babe, I said I'm comin' to get you, mama.
Said I'm runnin'.

Ooh, babe, I said I'm comin' for you, babe. I said I'm runnin'.
Ooh yes, babe, I said I'm comin' to get you, babe.
I said I'm comin'.
Ooh, yeah.

I'm findin', I'm findin' my way back home.
Well, I've had it for now, livin' on the road.
Ooh, yeah.
Ooh, yeah.

Findin' my way!



I'm runnin' here
I'm runnin' there
I'm lookin' for a girl
'Cause there's nothin' I need
There's nothin' I want more
In the whole wide world

Well, I need it quick
And I need it now
Before I start to fade away
That's why I'm searchin'
That's why I'm lookin'
Each and ev'ry day

Oo, I need some love
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above
Yeah, yeah!

Well I been hustlin' here,
I been hustlin' there
I been searchin' for about a week
And I started feelin'
This strange sensation
My knees are startin' gettin' weak

Well I need what keeps
A young man alive,
I'm sayin' I need it now
I'm gonna get the message
Across to you
Someway, somehow

Oo, I need some love
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above
Oo, yeah yeah!



Well, I'm lookin' at you
And I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do
Looks like you got no friends
No one to stick with you till the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes, you think you're all right,
And now you're lonely ev'ry night
Well, you need a friend
Someone on whom you can always depend

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes, you need some advice
Well, let me put it to you nice
I said you need a friend
Someone who'll stick with you to the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good



Well, I see you standin' there
With your finger in the air
Everything we do, you wanna leave it up to you

Who do you think you are?
You think you are a star?
Tryin' to run the town
Always tryin' to put us down

Well, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?

Well, you say you've been tryin'
You know that you're lyin'
I think you need some groovin'
Who do you think you're foolin', now?

Well, you better start changin'
Your life needs rearrangin'
You better do some talkin'
Or you better do some walkin' now

Yeah, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?

I know what you're doing
All that you been doin' wrong
I don't know what you're feelin'
Oh, but you been feelin' long

Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?

Send "NEED SOME LOVE" Ringtone to your Cell

Hey now, baby,
Well, I like your smile.
Won't you come and talk to me for a little while?

Well, you're makin' me crazy,
The way you roll them eyes.
Won't you come and sit with me? I'll tell you all my lies.

Chorus
Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight,
I feel I'm in the mood.
Hey baby, the hour is late,
I feel I've got to move.

Well, hey now, baby,
Don't you talk so fast.
I'm just tryin' to make these good times, I'm tryin' to make it last.

Everything's getting hazy.
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby...where'd you learn what you know?

Chorus

Well, hey now, baby,
I said I like your style.
You really got me, baby, way down deep inside.

Ooh, you drive me crazy.
Baby, you're the one.
I just want to rock-and-roll you woman, until the night is gone.



I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man

They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am

I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here

Well, they call me the working man
I guess that's what I am
