Bamboo – So far away

So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away

One more song about movin’ along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you

But you’re so far away
You’re so far away

Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
But there’s so many dreams I’ve yet to find

But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn’t help to know, it doesn’t help to know
It doesn’t help to know

You’re so far away

Bamboo – These Days

these days
i seem to find
a million reasons to sit
around and waste my mind
know what’s being said and that’s all fine
you tell me to get a life
do you understand the weight of that line?
take me for all I am

[chorus:]
coz I can find
my own way
big date tonight
there’s no tomorrow
so let’s leave it on the line
coz there’s time
it’s not too late
to change direction
turn your head son
so let’s leave it on the line

there’s something within
that’s telling me that
I’m just playing it too cool
i could pretty much lose everything
i never had an apple
that tasted so… so sweet
given the chance, the choice
take me for all I am
(repeat chorus)

today…
i am free
free to fly
free to be what they tell me I cannot be
happy birthday to me
(repeat chorus)

is this the light at the end?
where the picture is clearer,
the reception is warmer
is this the light at the end?
you’re looking lot better
we’re happy to see ya
is this the light at the end?
you got what you came for
you know where to find the door
is this the light at the end?
where the woman are hot
but the beer’s a lot colder
is this the light at the end?
yo momma’s looking good
what she doing for dinner?
is this the light at the end?
if yo momma’s busy does
she have a younger sister?
is this the light at the end?
you got what you came for
you know where to find the door
is this the light at the end?

you know I woke up to a beautiful morning till you showed up
nauseous I was to see you standing there in my presence
but it was alright coz I’m not about to fight
when this bird wants to sing
i’ll sing

gunpoint that suppose to scare me into submission
a slave to your will, fear, greed and ambition
but I’m not game…
i’m not game to your flame
there’s no discussion
i will fight to the end… fighter…

Bamboo – Tatsulok

Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo
Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo
Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan
At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw
Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpa-gabi
Baka mapagkamalan ka’t humandusay dyan sa tabi
Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno’t dulo
Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito

Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo

Iligtas ang hininga ng kay raming mga tao
At ang dating munting bukid, ngayo’y sementeryo
Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok
Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok

Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo

Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo…….

Di matatapos itong gulo……

Bamboo – Take Me Down

Take me down
Gimme the score
Tell me I’m gone
Tell me I’m done
You’ve counted me out
Before the last bell has rung
Tell me I’m gone
Here, brick by brick
Let’s rebuild this lovely scene
You say blood is thicker, boy
But it’s not what these eyes see
The truth is bitter real
Yes, it’s a spinning wheel
Round and around and around we go
You know I never really could get into our conversations
Just merely confrontations
It’s a lovefest, an inspiration
You try to play preacher
And teach me the ways of the world
The path you have taken
The dark road was built on the lies that were told
Take me down
Gimme the score
Tell me I’m gone
Tell me I’m done
You’ve counted me out
Before the last bell has rung
Take me down
Deeper and deeper
Right through the heart
Tell me I’m done
All roads are blocked
And there’s no where to run
Tell me I’m gone
You know I’ve been wandering
And dragging this heavy soul
Lord knows
These lessons you’re selling
Soul medicine
Isn’t try to meet ya
On that high plateau
So take the message to the chief
Tell him I ain’t coming
This heart’s too proud it can’t be broken
It’s a black tie affair
And guess who’s coming to dinner
You make the words sound so sweet
Let’s pretend that everything’s gonna be alright, alright
It took me a second to read ya
Just wasn’t my game fool
Face me when I speak to ya
Take me down…

Bamboo – Pride And The Flame

Gone… gone are the days
When the west was wild
And every child’s dream
A light was seen
Gone…gone are the days
When the world just sung for tomorrow to come
But she never came
If I was to break
If I was to pay
Blue moon are you lost again
Where will I find your light?
Where will I find the truth?
How will we ever say goodbye
Coz we’re turning the pages again
Bound by the lives that have been spent
I’m not living your third world lies
Goodbye…better days ahead
Goodbye
Gone… gone are the days
All these questions
No straight answers
Everybody’s a high priced healer hey
Gone… gone are the days
Tis the season of change
Every scar on the hand marks a new day
Sleep child
Slip into a dream
Poppa hasn’t been home
Busy living out this crazy scene
Blue moon are you lost again
Where will I find your light?
Where will I find the truth?
How will we ever say goodbye
Coz we’re turning the pages again
Tired of your preaching amen
I’m not living your third world lies
Goodbye
Better days ahead
Reached out to feel each grain
A lifetime running through his hands
The scorching heat left our heart
The workings of a proud brown man
But nowhere could you see
Dark eyes look away
The pride and the flame
Reached out to feel the warmth
Time running through his hands
The scorching heat gave life
The heart of the proud brown man
And he says to his child
Who still couldn’t stand
Someday…

Bamboo – Noypi

Tingnan mo ang iyong palad
Kalyado mong kayay sa hirap ng buhay
Ang dami mong problema
Nakuha mo pang ngumiti
Noypi ka nga astig
Saan ka man naroroon
Huwag kang matatakot
Sa Baril o Patalim
Sa bakas na madilim…

Chorus:
Hoy, pinoy ako!
Buo aking loob, may agimat ang dugo ko
Hoy, oh pinoy ako!
May agimat ang dugo ko..

Sinisid ko ang dagat
Nilibot ko ang mundo
Nasa puso ko pala hinahanap kong pulo
Ilang beses na akong muntikang mamatay
Oh, alam ko ang sikreto kaya’t andito pa’t buhay.

Oh sabi nila may anting anting ako pero di nila
Alam na diyos ang dahilan ko..

Hoy, pinoy ako!
Buo aking loob, may agimat ang dugo…
Hoy, oh pinoy ako!
May agimat ang dugo ko..

Ohh… ooohh…

Dinig mo ba ang bulong ng lahi mo?
Isigaw mo kapatid, ang himig natin..

Hoy, pinoy ako!
Buo aking Loob, may agimat ang dugo ko!
Hoy, oh pinoy ako!
May agimat ang dugo ko

Ohh… ooohh…

Bamboo – Much Has Been Said

Much has been said
Said you’d never leave
Why’d it have to be
Harder than it had to be
Now don’t you throw the blame
You were part of this
Wasn’t supposed to end
With us just walking away
So many times we tried
Holding on to the pain
But in my baby’s eyes i see my shame
Asking why you had to leave
Wasn’t i strong enough
To make you see
That the biggest part of this
It’s not about you or me
But just been wrong
If we held on

So maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days
Hard lessons we’ve left behind
This mirror’s an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help

Ooh lord
Ooh lord

Much has been said
Well i never learned
Keeping my fingers crossed
Praying for my luck to turn
But i can’t complain
I’m living it easy
Job’s keeping me busy i’m going crazy
Can’t describe the way it felt
When you left said you goodbyes
It just seems crazy for me to think
That i found love the same time
But we all know how it all wraps up in the end

So maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days
Hard lessons we’ve left behind
This mirror’s an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help

Ooh lord
Ooh lord
Ooh lord
Ummm…

What am i leaving behind
Sweet how we see the big picture
When your life’s not on the line
I know the way out but do you see what i see
A tortured life always second guessing the bookie
Put money on the table thought that was all i had to do
Never came home never said a word to you
No one ever said it was going to be easy easy yeah
Start over again this time this time let’s do it right
Start over again but this time this time
let’s keep the fires burning burning yeah
Start over again start over again but this
time this time let’s do it right sweet child
Start over again start over again but this
time this time let’s keep the fires burning burning yeah
You say i only hear what i want to no, no, no, no
You say i talk so all the time
I talk so all the time

Bamboo – Mr. Clay

Red sun dawn
Guns are drawn
Skull and bones
Beast of war
Father help me stop this
Rush of blood to the head
I look at you and I see red
Start the game
I’ll end it
By this hate that you help the world create
I’ve been sent
Now repent
I’m the war that comes to you
I’m the plague that follows through
I’ve been told
You’ve been warned
To stop the hatred you have spawned
The qualms you have are stupid
By this movement manifest
Lord now put you to the test
Yet you fail
Now the blind that follow you
Will burn in hell with you
All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me
Talk too much mutherfucker hush
You had your chance to change things
Move in the direction of right
Choose to set the bad
But then you had to pick a fight
So what’s daddy done for you lately?
Bought you the throne
Like stealing candy from a baby
Line your pockets with mucho dinero
Paid in full with the blood of the people
So now you got the fires rockin
Blood and hate
Then you got the people talking
Legacy
You will never be forgotten
Your place in history
A black mark in time
A black mark in time
All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me
Peace and flowers
Will kill the superpower
The fall of Rome is near
Can’t you hear
It’s been written, it’s been said
The signs are here
The revelations I have read
The signs are here
Those days are over
Walk away from the line
For now is the time
All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me

Bamboo – Masaya

Ako’y malungkot nanaman
Amoy chico na ako
Ilang tagay na hindi pa rin tulog
Tanong ko lang sa langit
Kung bakit pumangit

Nung dating masaya
Ngayo’y panay problemang
Bumabalot sa buto
Bakit ganito

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya

Pagkagising ko
Nakita ko si juan
Na syang adik
Sa aming lugar

Parang droga daw ang bisa
Na ginagamit niya kanina
Sa una lang daw
Masarap

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya
Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya

Bamboo – Hudas

Pag sila’y nagiinumang masaya,
bakit sa lupa magulo
Pag sila’y nagtatawanang malakas,
tinatawanan lang tayo
Di kaya isang tropa lang sila
mga demonyo, San Pedro at ang Diyos
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Ako’t ikaw, tayong lahat
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Ako’t ikaw, tayong lahat
Balita ko’y may nag-away sa inyo
Dahil b sa penoy at balot
Pinag-awayan at nagtalo
Sinong tama’t totoo
Pinag-awayan si Jawo
Kung sana ay mamulat ang matang dilat
Nagiisa lang naman ang Diyos
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Ako’t ikaw, tayong lahat
Tinatagayan lang ni Hudas si Satanas,
At aTing Diyos aMa.
