Startin' Up da JWD Soul Train w/50 Ways to Leave Watchtower...heh

Frannie Banannie

I'm startin' off this JWD Soul Train thread with something that's not very "soul-ish", but very appropo.....50 Ways to Leave Your Lover....with a few of the words changed to fit in with our "pause to see".....Can anyone help this thread with a "lift-off" by changing some of the words in Aretha's "Think" and "R.E.S.P.E.C.T."???

50 Ways To Leave Watchtower

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I?d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave Watchtower

She said it?s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won?t be lost or misconstrued
But I?ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave Watchtower
Fifty ways to leave Watchtower

CHORUS:
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Jan
You don?t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don?t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lea
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don?t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You?ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave Watchtower
Fifty ways to leave Watchtower

Frannie, you are too funny.

How about this:

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the preacher to the "thief"
There?s too much confusion
I can?t get no relief
Pioneers they drink my wine
Elders dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey

No reason to get excited
The "thief" he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I we?ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour?s getting late
Hey

Hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin?
And the wind began to howl
Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower

Drop off your tracts, Jack,

Drop 'em in the bin, Jim,

Forget about the JC, Casey,

Just get yourself free!

Don't you fear blood, Bud,

And light up a smoke, Bloke,

Just leave the Hall, Paul,

And get yourself free!

Think (sung by Aretha Franklin) (revised)

Think (think) think (think) think (think)
think (think) think (think) think (think)

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you, you came to me and too much you wouldn't take
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degree It don't take too much high IQ's to see what you're doing to me

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You people walking around everyday, judging everyone else as ho's
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) but I don't need you (don't you know)
Without me there ain't nothing much you can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) but I don't need you (don't you know)
Without me there ain't nothing much you can do

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

You had better stop and think before you think, think!!

Welcome home, Kingdom Hall

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled a rank and file
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No door to knock, no tracts to place
No watchtower to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this brotherhood
Can?t they see it?s why my brain says no blood

Kingdom Hall, leave me be
Kingdom Hall, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what?s out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I?m other sheep
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him brainwashed, it makes him well
He?s getting better, can?t you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from armaggedon

Kingdom Hall, leave me be
Kingdom Hall, just leave me alone
Kingdom Hall, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some preaching to do
Mirror stares back hard
Preach, it?s such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again.

Love it when bands like Metallica give you such a great canvas.

(With apologies to Status Quo):

There's a man sitting in a concrete room
In a place full of emptiness and gloom
With his head in his hands he's far away
It's a long time ago since yesterday

And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of Kingdom HallAnd now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of Kingdom Hall

As a boy he had made so many friends
Now they're gone loneliness just never ends
And in that cold concrete room he trials the day
Yes, the price of a life is hard to pay

And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of Kingdom Hall
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of Kingdom Hall

Close your eyes, there's nothing more to see
Close your eyes and thank the world you're free

There's a man sitting in a concrete room
In a place full of emptiness and gloom
With his head in his hands he's far away
It's a long time ago since yesterday

And now his hands catch the tears that start to fall
In his world of Kingdom HallAnd now his hands catch the tears that start to fall
In his world of Kingdom Hall
And now his hands, like the tears start to fall
In his world of Kingdom HallYes, now his hands, like the tears start to fall
In his world of Kingdom Hall
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of Kingdom Hall
And now his hands, now his hands start to fall
In his world of Kingdom HallYes, now his hands.....
