Blue Hair 05:13

Blue Hair Chuck LeMonds 2006 You drank me under the table Now come on down here and I’ll spin you a fable You smile like you’ve never seen Such a sight for sore eyes. You ask me to tell you a story Tell you anything, even some lies But I go empty waiting to be filled When you’re so close by my side. Blue Hair, and Blue Eyes Blue Heart when you say good-bye Holding onto my love for you It’s always there and I’m so glad to see you. You dance a dance and become my mirror Following every move and gesture that I make Making fun of me, you come close to me Then I don’t know what will happen next. Blue Hair, and Blue Eyes Blue Heart when you say good-bye Holding onto my love for you It’s always there and I’m so glad to see you. Red wine was flowing and the joint was blowing The night was being swept out of shape I went outside to measure the stars And you showed up and took their place.

F-JM133 Chuck LeMonds 2006 F-JM133 I’ve got your number, I’ll be sending it F-JM133, Black BMW, I may be bending it. You’re just a petty arson with a gallon jug of gas Just a common criminal with a steady flow of cash A lawyer or a banker, to me it’s all the same If I catch you on my street, you’ll have to play my game Crunch a pile of numbers and break a pack of lies You serve yourself like it’s your life times favorite cause Light your little fire and toss your jug of gas You torch a families home for a common piece of ass. You’re a woman’s dream, but I can’t imagine whose And when the spell is broken and you took what you could use Karma’s gonna be there like a badly done tattoo What goes around comes around your bill is over due.

Yellow Moon 05:13
lyrics

Yellow Moon Chuck LeMonds 2006 Six long months of bitter venom Six long months of concrete frowns You up and stole my joy and pleasure And left me here to sink and drown. Thoughts so hard like falling nails Nights so long the clock stands still Cynicism is so in fashion But I’m not going to let nobody steal my passion. Yellow Moon, ginger root Give your strength to the ones who call Yellow moon, ginger root Forget all the things that you can’t change. Dreams run dry, thirst for water Feed the king and steal his daughter Cut the tongue I hear a mumble Words fall into a jumble I’ll take you just the way you are Get undressed, I’ll be there soon Taste these lips of jelly royal Sing the song of the yellow moon.

Nothing To Hold Onto 06:05

Nothing To Hold Onto Chuck LeMonds 2006 When there’s nothing to hold onto It’s hard to see just where to go When there’s nothing to hold onto You’re looking for familiar faces When there’s nothing to hold onto You want wise words to guide your way When there’s nothing to hold onto Someone you can trust and turn to. But don’t let go Don’t let go Don’t let go When there’s nothing to hold onto When there’s nothing to hold onto Late at night when the cats are crying When there’s nothing to hold onto Owl’s call you from your dreams When there’s nothing to hold onto Sweat pours down your body When there’s nothing to hold onto You wake up chilled to the bone.

Sperm Donor Chuck LeMonds 2006 I’m a deadbeat Dad who just won’t work I won’t pay a dime of my child support Lock me up, put me down put me ten feet under ground Call my lawyer, call my Dad, call the cops and storm my pad Take my children, I’m just the man Make me pay for all the sins. I’m a sperm donor lady, trying to make a buck Maybe I can help you if we have a little luck I donate my genetics, it’s a service to mankind My IQ is sufficient and I’m loving and I’m kind. Fight the wars and fight the boss Fight the years that have been lost I’m a weekend Dad, call me Uncle Jim We’ve got something in common we’re genetic friends. I’m a sperm donor lady, trying to make a buck Maybe I can help you if we have a little luck I donate my genetics, it’ a service to mankind My IQ is sufficient and I’m loving and I’m kind.

With You 04:05

With You Chuck LeMonds 2006 Every time when I go to town I’m on the lookout for you I don’t even know your name But I sure would like to. It’s all the things that have not been said That keep on spinning in my head And I don’t even know your name. There is no coincidence when you walked right up to me You smiled and said can I help you I could have not been more pleased I said, “I want that book called the power of myth Cause I’m on a hero’s journey and I’m ready for risk, And oh, won’t you tell me your name!” Take me down to your bed of sorrow And I will watch for the light of day Risk is high that we all will die So I will take this chance to pray With you. I called you up right away And you laughed and I heard you smile You spoke of your sadness And the loss of a loved ones life I felt my heart open up to you I was hoping that some day you would too Oh to the power of love. With all the grief and tragedy The world splitting at the seams Seems it would be easier Just to let go of some dreams Never let anyone in too close Keeping the door shut and the windows closed Oh to the power of love Oh to the power of love

For This We Will Kill 04:51

For This We Will Kill Chuck LeMonds 2006 Hand me my dictionary, hand me my gun Hand me provisions, so that I can make a run For all the money, for all that I shall need I’ve got the power and you don’t have a chance with me You did not hear my words when I said Do as I say and not as I do I will grind you into desert sand and the wind will have it’s way with you. There’s nothing like a well oiled money machine I can fill my pockets up, you must know what I mean I take just what I need no matter what the cost Just look at my tanks and guns, if you ever forget whose boss I made you who you are and now you think that you’re the king of kings But you’re nothing but a desert rat, and I will crush you with my war machine. Oh no, we must have our oil Oh no, or we will stand still Oh no, we must have our oil For this we will kill. I must occupy all your holy lands Stamp out resistance with the wave of my right hand My left hand brings democracy, you will come to understand They’re called oil reserves, cause they’re reserved for my blessed land.

Mona Lou Chuck LeMonds 2006 Mona Lou, the sheep’s in the kitchen, I’m sleeping in til half past noon You talk my ear off, and I still don’t know just what you want to do I’m confused and lonely, but I know I’m still loving you I want you to hold me, I want you to tell me things will be as they used to. I walk late at night, On the dark side of town Lonely side of midnight Looking for you Looking for courage In every café and little bity bar I come to I don’t want to find you wrapped up in some small time street light serenade It’s the last thing I need, sweet Mona Lou, it’s the last thing. Stop this train, I should have jumped sooner But I’ve got a special place for your kind of pain And now the sheep are in the kitchen And I’m sleeping in til half past noon and everybody says they’ve been seeing you down in Durand way working your days in some small bakery sweet Mona Lou.

Enough 04:04
lyrics

Enough Chuck LeMonds 2006 Hang your wedding ring on the nail underneath the window sill You know lately it seems everything has been going down hill From where I stand things are looking real fine, But you’ve got your truth and I’ve got mine. Could there ever be enough to make you happy Could there ever be enough to quiet your fears Will someone new, hold you close the way I do When the world outside is rushing in The ghost of the father and abandonment Men in smart suits with clever things to say Bringing you flowers, hope to have their way with you. Fear of ever being happy, Fear you chose the wrong one, Deprivation and starvation, Fear of just not enough Fear to trust in our creator Fear to ever really love Fear of letting someone close to you Could make it hard to run.

Black Dress 06:31

Black Dress Chuck LeMonds 2006 Put on your black dress, and your black stockings too We’re going on the town tonight, just me and you Forget all your worries, forget your troubles and your cares. I don’t need you, but I want you so It would suffice just to be near you And have you let me into your world To smell you and hear your breathing Your soft voice makes me think, you share a secret with me Sing this moment Where thoughts can not be heard Sing this moment Where chaos tumbles and reigns Sing this moment Where fear and desire tear at my heart It’s wet and hot and burning with desire And no one is concerned, how it’s going to leave us in love. As I lay my head on your shoulder, I smell you almost desparately Like not having been able to catch my breath And finally getting air Your hair is in my mouth and Our tongues are thinking of a warm wet place to be. This holy mystery, blessings from someone In the chaos of the moment, When thoughts can come undone I hold your body close to mine, As you whisper for me to sing this moment.

Monastery 04:54

Monastery c Chuck LeMonds 2004 Take a break from this madness Take some time alone Take a train to the outskirts Of some forgotten unknown Where no one can remember you Where no one really cares What you’ve done and what you do Who you love and what you choose Going down to the monastery Going down with you Going down to the monastery Going to pray the whole day through Ain’t no cross on the front door Ain’t no sign of the seven sons Ain’t no way to bring you back When you’re feeling so at one Everything is sliding by But you are standing still When someone asks where did she go, I’ll just smile and say She went down to the river to sit under some big shade tree. Paint yourself in a corner In shades of black and white Everybody wants to tell you How to live your life Follow all the customs yeah Memorize all the unwritten rules But if you can’t see eye to eye And your heart says no, you’ve got to leave some time alone.

Farmers Hands Chuck LeMonds 2006 She had farmers hands and a farmers heart And her eyes made you think about harvest time She was a medicine woman with a mojo too She could shoot you full of loving make you do the do. Late at night I was sitting at my table There came a knock upon my door It was the medicine woman looking at me She said, ”I got a problem now don’t you see!” My loving man’s been treating me so unkind When I talk with him he don’t show no signs That he’s listening to me that he really cares I’ve got thoughts in my heart that I just don’t dare. Like wrap my arms around you and feel how it feels When your body is on fire and you know it’s real Raw desire, no regrets These were the thoughts I had when we first met. Now I could be your dream tonight But what about my sorrow When I can’t see you everyday Because of all the games we play Who will hold me in the night When you’re wrapped up warm and tight I love you baby, I surely do But I love me too and I’ve got to choose. She had farmers hands and a farmers heart And her eyes made you think about harvest time She was a medicine woman with a mojo too She could shoot you full of loving make you do the do.

Chuck LeMonds Austria

Chuck LeMonds’ music is a kind of Country Soul gumbo of blues, folk, funk and country with poetic lyrics that call to be heard. In times like these, the music and songwriting of Chuck LeMonds has the effect of a soothing balsam for the soul, or that of a plow turning over fresh soil in a field waiting to be planted in spring. ... more
