* a.k.a. "Tired And Hungry"

Jan 29, 1972
Le Bataclan, Paris, France
===============================


        It was seven o'clock in the morning
        too late to handle the day
        At home it was only two thirty
        the skin on my wrists turning grey

        Looked up, wished us good luck
        he changed his attitudes twice
        Clock in the corner shivered in fear
        he was tired and hungry for days

        Next year she bought a new stomach
        from Liverpool made in Detroit
        Constantly passing old matches
        two sentries and millionaires

        Ah, who did, Gallagher did
        the same old thing every time
        Gave up, more empty cups
        they were tired and hungry for nights

        It made life a little easier
        to have Holland on the run
        It didn't take that long to forget her
        my old man and his gun

        Ah, rushed out, ah, lions about
        wasting away on advice
        A hundred and three, four hundred or more
        it'll haunt you for the rest of your life

        Olivier Landemaine's The VU Web Page says:
        there is no speed correction
        and the whole recording is too slow (6%)
        as compared with the French TV broadcast.
