Eric Clapton - Holy Mother

Live Concert In Hyde Park

Holy Mother Lyric

Holy Mother, where are you?
Tonight I feel broken in two
I've seen the stars fall from the sky
Holy mother, can't keep from crying

Oh I need your help this time,
Get me through this lonely night
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again

Holy mother, hear my prayer,
Somehow I know you're still there
Send me please some peace of mind
Take away this pain

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you

Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times
I've felt the anger running through my soul
Holy Mother can't keep control

Oh I feel the end has come
No longer my legs will run
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight

When my hands no longer play,
My voice is still, I fade away
Holy mother, then I'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms

Eric Clapton - Old Love

Live Concert In Hyde Park

Old Love Lyric

I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?

Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home

I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn

Eric Clapton - Layla

Live In Hyde Park

Layla Lyric

What do you do when you get lonely
and nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, i'm begging darlin' please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?

I Tried to give you consolation
When Your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
You turned my whole world upside down

Let's make the best of the situation,
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way,
Or tell me all my love's in vain

Eric Clapton - I Shot The Sherriff

Live Concert in Hyde Park

Song Note : "This was written and originally recorded by Bob Marley in 1973. A member of Clapton's band played the Bob Marley album for him and convinced him to record it."

"Clapton didn't want to use this on the album because he thought it might seem disrespectful to Marley. Members of his band and management convinced him that it should not only go on the album, but also be released as a single."

"Eric spoke with Bob Marley about the song, he said "I tried to ask him what the song was all about, but couldn't understand much of his reply. I was just relieved that he liked what we had done."

I Shot The Sherriff Lyric

I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!
I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh
Yeah! all around in my home town, They're tryin to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty for the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy. But I say Oh, now, now. oh! I shot the sheriff
but I swear it was in selfdefence. Oh, no! ooh, ooh, oo-oh yeah!
I say I shot the sheriff - oh, lord! and they say it is a capital offence
Yeah! ooh, ooh, oo-oh yeah! Sheriff john brown always hated me,
For what, I dont know. Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow. He said kill them before they grow.
And so, Read it in the news, I shot the sheriff. oh, lord!
but I swear it was inself-defence. Where was the deputy?
oo-oo-oh I say I shot the sheriff, But I swear it was in selfdefence
oo-oh yeah! Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town,
yeah! All of a sudden I saw sheriff john brown aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot I shot I shot him down and I say If I am guilty I will pay
I shot the sheriff, But I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy,
I didn't shoot no deputy oh, no-oh, oh no! I shot the sheriff
I did! But I didn't shoot no deputy
oh! oo-oo-ooh Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be. Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out, One day the bottom a-go drop out
I say I - I - I - I shot the sheriff. Lord, I didn't shot the deputy
yeah! I - I shot the sheriff, But I didn't shoot no deputy,
yeah! no, yeah!

Song Note : "This song tells the story of a man who shoots a sheriff who is harassing him, but is wrongly accused of killing the deputy. Marley said that some of the song is true, but would not say what parts."

"This was the last single Marley released with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, who left to go solo."

"The sheriff's name in the song is John Brown. In 1963, Bob Dylan wrote a song called "John Brown" about a boy who goes to war and comes back badly wounded."
