Night Life (Live at the Olympia Theatre, Paris, May 7, 1968)
Thank you very much!
Tell me
Tell me, do you like the blues? (Yeah)
Do you really like the blues?
Good
Mmm
In the evenin'
When the sun goes down
You goin' to find me
Doin' what I'm doin' right now, not just sittin' 'round
The night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes it is
And all good people, good people
Just like you and me
Been sittin' around dreamin'
Sittin' around dreamin' about their used-to-be's
Well, the night life
Ask anybody, and it ain't no good life
But that's alright, because it's my life
Whoa-oh, yes it is
Whoa, listen to the blues
To the blues in what they're playin'
I wonder tonight, are you really listenin' to the blues
To the blues and what they're sayin'?
Well, they seem to be saying to me that
That many people have loved
And they seem to be saying to me that many people have lost
Well listen, they might not have loved at all
If they had known that they couldn't pay the cost
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They tell me, yeah, they tell me, yeah
They tell me, yeah, they tell me
They tell me that life it's just an empty scene
They say that it's older than the oldest broken hearts
And they tell me that it's newer than the newest of dreams
Well, the night life
What I'm doin' right now ain't no good life
But that's alright with me
Because it's my life, yes it is
I tell you that the night life
Sure ain't no good life
Yeah, but it's my life
Yeah
Tell me
Tell me, do you like the blues? (Yeah)
Do you really like the blues?
Good
Mmm
In the evenin'
When the sun goes down
You goin' to find me
Doin' what I'm doin' right now, not just sittin' 'round
The night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes it is
And all good people, good people
Just like you and me
Been sittin' around dreamin'
Sittin' around dreamin' about their used-to-be's
Well, the night life
Ask anybody, and it ain't no good life
But that's alright, because it's my life
Whoa-oh, yes it is
Whoa, listen to the blues
To the blues in what they're playin'
I wonder tonight, are you really listenin' to the blues
To the blues and what they're sayin'?
Well, they seem to be saying to me that
That many people have loved
And they seem to be saying to me that many people have lost
Well listen, they might not have loved at all
If they had known that they couldn't pay the cost
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They tell me, yeah, they tell me, yeah
They tell me, yeah, they tell me
They tell me that life it's just an empty scene
They say that it's older than the oldest broken hearts
And they tell me that it's newer than the newest of dreams
Well, the night life
What I'm doin' right now ain't no good life
But that's alright with me
Because it's my life, yes it is
I tell you that the night life
Sure ain't no good life
Yeah, but it's my life
Yeah
