Nanci Griffith - "Wooden Heart" Live Notice Nanci's fragile beauty -- she sings "please don't break my heart in two" and you really believe her. "Wooden Heart (Muss I Denn)" is featured in the 1960 Elvis Presley film G.I. Blues. Nanci recorded the song for the 1990 album The Last Temptation of Elvis, an album of cover versions of Elvis Presley movie songs. Nanci's father is signing with the quartet of back-up singers (far left) although their microphone seems to be turned off for the entire performance. "Wooden Heart", created by Fred Wise, Ben Weisman, Kay Twomey and German bandleader Bert Kaempfert, was based on a German folk song, "Muß i' denn zum Städtele hinaus". "Wooden Heart" features several lines from the original folk song, written in the German dialect Swabian. Tags: Nanci Griffith Live Wooden Heart Elvis Presley Cover |

Bruce Springsteen - Two Hearts Gloriously ragged. With Little Steven sharing the microphone. ------ I went out walking the other day Seen a little girl crying along the way She'd been hurt so bad said she'd never love again Someday your crying girl will end And you'll find once again CHORUS Two hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better than one Once I spent my time playing tough guy scenes But I was living in a world of childish dreams Someday these childish dreams must end To become a man and grow up to dream again Now I believe in the end CHORUS Sometimes it might seem like it was planned For you to roam empty hearted through this land Though the world turns you hard and cold There's one thing mister, that I know That's if you think your heart is stone And that you're rough enough to whip this world alone Alone buddy there ain't no peace of mind That's why I'll keep searching till I find my special one CHORUS Tags: Bruce Springsteen Stevie Van Zandt |

Elvis Costello - This Year's Girl - Live, 1978 EC and the Attractions walk on stage and perform "This Year's Girl." See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl Forget your fancy manners, forget your English grammar 'Cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl Never knowing it's a real attraction, all these promises of satisfaction While she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl Time's running out, she's not happy with the cost There'd be no doubt, only she's forgotten much more than she's lost A bright spark might corner the market in this year's girl You see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl Those disco synthesizers, those daily tranquilizers Those body-building prizes, those bedroom alibis All this, but no surprises for this year's girl All this, but no surprises for this year's girl All this, but no surprises for this year's girl Tags: Elvis Costello |

Nanci Griffith - Anyone Can Be Somebody's Fool - Live 1988 You can cuss the daylights out of this pale winter moon And we can ponder every reason why your true love was untrue You can cry your eyes out, I've got a shoulder here for you And every day your broken heart's gonna turn a lighter shade of blue Cause anyone can be somebody's fool Oh look at me, I once was a fool for you So you know it's true Anyone can be somebody's fool Down in this lonely town there's a lovely silver frost So we can stop and have another round for the true love that you've lost It's gonna take a little time before your emptiness grows old And underneath that silver frost you've still got a heart of gold And when this winter's over You're gonna walk knee deep in clover And your heart will round the corner You're gonna feel brand new Tags: Nanci Griffith Live |

Elvis Costello - From a Whisper to a Scream With The Attractions and Glenn Tilbrook Oh it's not easy to resist temptation Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination Taking every word she says just like an open invitation But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream So I whisper and I scream But don't get me wrong Please don't leave me waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Hey Oh oh oh oh oh Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying I heard someone say where have we met before But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four Tags: Elvis Costello The Attractions Glenn Tilbrook |

Nanci Griffith - Tecumseh Valley - Live 1993 (Written by Townes Van Zandt) The name she gave was Caroline Daughter of a miner And her ways were free It seemed to me The sunshine walked beside her She came to Spencer Across the hill She said he Pa had sent her 'Cause the coal was low And soon the snow Would turn the skies to winter She said she's come To look for work She was not seeking favors And for a dime a day And a place to stay She'd turn those hands to labor But the times were hard Lord The jobs were few All through Tecumseh Valley But she asked around And a job she found Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's She saved enough to get back home When spring replaced the winter But her dreams were denied Her Pa had died The word come down from Spencer So she turned a whorin' out on the streets With all the lust inside her And it was many a man Returned again To lay himself beside her They found her down beneath the stairs That led to Gypsy Sally's In her hand when she died Was a note that cried Fare thee well...Tecumseh Valley Tags: Folk Nanci Griffith |

Elvis Costello - Green Shirt - Live, 1979 There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen Who comes into my house every night. And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green And she turns them into black and white. But you tease and you flirt And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it Better cut off all identifying labels Before they put you on the torture table 'Cause somewhere in the "Quisling Clinic" There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes She's listening in to the Venus line She's picking out names I hope none of them are mine But you tease, and you flirt... Never said I was a stool pigeon I never said I was a diplomat Everybody is under suspicion But you don't wanna hear about that 'Cause you tease, and you flirt... Better send a begging letter to the big investigation Who put these fingerprints on my imagination? You tease, and you flirt... You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it Tags: Elvis Costello The Attractions |

Nanci Griffith - "I Wish It Would Rain" Live, 1988 The joy on Nanci's face here contrasts nicely with the overcast words -- some of the finest she's ever written: "I want to find that love of 22 here at 33" Oh, I wish it would rain And wash my face clean I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here Love in a memory Sparkled like diamonds When the diamonds fall they burn like tears Once I had a love from the Georgia pines Who only cared for me I wanna find that love of twenty-two Here at thirty-three I've got a heart on my right One on my left neither suits my needs No, the one I love lives a-way out West And he never will need me I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes And head for the Gulf Coast plains I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown Where everybody knows my name I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston When the hurricane blow in Cuz that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine When your heart's rollin' home in the wind When the diamonds fall, darlin' They burn like tears Tags: Nanci Griffith Live |

Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach - This House Is Empty Now These rooms play tricks upon you Remember when they were always filled with laughter But now they're quite deserted They seem to just echo voices raised in anger Maybe you will see my face Reflected there on the pane In the window up above for long In broken home Yet this house is empty now Theres nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how am I supposed to live without you Oh, if I could just become forgetful When night seems endless Does the extinguished candle care About the darkness It's funny how my memory Will bring you so close then make you disappear Meanwhile all our friends must choose Who they will favor, who they will lose Hang the garland high, or close the door Or throw away the key This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now Theres nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how am I supposed to live without you This house is empty now This house is empty now Theres nothing I can do This house is empty now This house is empty now Tags: Elvis Costello Burt Bacharach |

Nanci Griffith - "Gulf Coast Highway" Live, 1988 Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails He worked the rice fields with their cold dark wells He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing And he will fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring She walked through springtime when I was home The days were sweet, our nights were warm The seasons changed, the jobs would come The flowers fade, and this old house felt so alone When the work took me away And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing And she will fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring Highway 90, the jobs are gone We kept our garden, we set the sun This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow And once a year they come and go At this old house here by the road And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing And we will fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring Yes when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing And we will fly away together Come some sweet blue bonnet spring Tags: Nanci Griffith Texas Gulf Coast |
