WELL I TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF A REBORN MAN
I GOT A LOT OF LOVE TO GIVE
FROM THE MIRRORS OF MY HAND
I SENT A MESSAGE OF LOVE
DON'T TOU RUN AWAY LOOK AT YOUR HEART BABY
COME ON ALONG WITH ME TODAY
WELL I AM WHAT I AM THANK GOD
SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WELL HELP THEM GOD
FIND YOURSELF FIRST
AND THEN YOUR TOOL
FIND YOURSELF FIRST
DON'T YOU BE NO FOOL
HERE COMES A WOMAN WRAPPED UP IN CHAIN
MESSIN' WITH THAT FOOL BABY
YOUR LIFE IS PAIN
IF YOU WANNA BE FREE
COME ON ALONG WITH ME
DON'T MESS WITH THE MAN
HE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
I SAID FIND YOURSELF FIRST
AND THEN YOUR TALENT
WORK HARD IN YOUR MIND
SO YOU CAN COME ALIVE
YOU BETTER PROVE TO THE MAN
YOU'RE AS STRONG AS HIM
'CAUSE IN THE EYES OF GOD
YOU'RE BOTH CHILDREN TO HIM
EVERYBODY COME ALIVE
EVERYBODY LIVE ALIVE
EVERYBODY HEAR MY MESSAGE
The live version off 'Band of Gypsies,' ( a criminally- underrated album) is the one that takes my breath away. I'm not sure where to start. The lyrics are Jimi in that escapist blues-derived 'Voodoo Chile'- I-am-all-powerful mode; the rhythm parts are definitive funk-n'soul rock; the call-and-response with Buddy Miles excellent; and the guitar solos (two of 'em; one at the outro is amazing as he uses his whammy bar to accent the feedback). I'd better go and listen to the song again, and I'll re-write this piece in a less breathless style! Please listen to it, if you like hard rock, AC-DC, Radiohead, early Santana, and whether you like music or not..
