Josefus (1970, USA) 11 songs + (60s) 2 songs
Josefus "Bald Peach" (lyrics found, bit modified)
* From album: "Josefus"
I'll spend all the time that I'm own learning
'Cause a fire inside me red-hot burnin'
Everybody's tryin' to be my teacher
The worst thing in life to be is a preacher
All my life depends on me
All my life depends on me
But now I'm goin' down the road my way
There's nothing anyone can say
I've told you now what I'm grievin' with you
And now the rest depends on you
All my life depends on me
All my life depends on me
All my life depends on me
All my life depends on me
---------------------------------------------
Josefus "B.S. Creek" (lyrics found)
*From album: "Josefus"
Everybody's asked me just what I am
Ever since my life begun
How can I answer stupidity
I’m just my mother's son
Wishing for wishes and I don’t wanna hear
In a hard day, understand
I hope I have to make my way through it all
And find it through the other man
[I'm just my mother's son] 4x
---------------------------------------------
Josefus „Feelin’ Good” (lyrics, self-transcribed)
* From album: „Josefus”
I can tell somebody's feeling good
And feeling good, some feeling can be understood
If you turn your eyes to mine
I can tell you if you are feeling fine
Come on closer so I can see you
I can understand, just give a simple clue
The vastness of the sky is in your head
I know you see it there, what else need be said?
Come on babe
You got to feel good
Woman, you make your man feeling good man
Make you feel very best you can
Man, you make your woman feel really, really, really good
You got to make each other feel the way you know you should
Come on babe
I wanna make you feel good
[Feeling good] 5x

Josefus „Sefus Blues” (lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: „Josefus”
Soon the dawn will be coming
But the sun will be black
Your woman is just next door
But she says she won't come back
So you look into the mirror
To see what's up now and then
To see what's up now and then
But it's only you
Even though you’re freaking out again
But now you run, run, run
From the looking glass
From the looking glass
So you hope to run, run, run
To escape the past
To escape the past
You hope your future will be bright
Just pass that looking glass
Just pass that looking glass
Someday when you find the truth
You'll see you went too fast
You'll see you went too fast
Through that you’re engine
And your house burned down
Your aim a peace and got domain
They're running you out of town
Think you got a first class bummer
Well, here's the switch
‘Cause the one you're talking to
Will tell you all reality's a bitch
But now you run, run, run
From the looking glass
From the looking glass
So you hope to run, run, run
To escape the past
To escape the past
You hope your future will be bright
Just pass that looking glass
Just pass that looking glass
Someday when you find the truth
You'll see you went too fast
You'll see you went too fast

Josefus "Condition" (lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Josefus"
Wandering through the mountains
Echo all the place
I have come to notice
My condition is not sane
Well, that’s a cry of a desperate man
And he’s crying out again
Get me to the doctor
There’s got to be a change
In my personality
Cause it’s totally deranged
Well, that’s a cry of a desperate man
And he’s crying out again
That’s a cry of a desperate man
He’s crying out again
Get out
There's something long and lean and thin
It's stuck right in my head
I know the difficulty now
My brain's been overfed
Well, that’s a cry of a desperate man
And he’s crying out again
That’s a cry of a desperate man
I'm a desperate man
Help me, help me
Look at now, look at now
That’s a cry of a desperate man
Shut
Help me, help me, help me
I'm a desperate man, I'm a desperate man, I'm a desperate man
---------------------------------------------
Josefus "Situation" (lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Dead Man"
Down from the mountain and all below
From the place that I'm sitting, everything shows
Loving and hating, that's the way it goes
Everyone should to climb high sometimes
Maybe you should climb high, straighten out your mind
If you keep climbing, you'll be surprised that you're mine
Would you better start now, pull your life behind
---------------------------------------------
Josefus "Country Boy" (lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Dead Man"
I'm sitting in the country, wondering where I can go
Take me anywhere, take me fast or slow
I'm looking across the prairie- it's so black for miles
Just show me something new for just a little while
I'd like to spend some time being a rich girl's toy
Because it seems so sad to be a country boy
I hate nobody out there, ‘cause I’m on my side
I'm so ugly, I gotta stay in hiding
Between the wind and the dust, you know, I kissed the queen
And the social life so worse and I’ve never seen
Sweet, rich darling, let me be your toy
Because it seems so sad to be a country boy

Josefus "I Need A Woman"
(lyrics self-transcribed, corrected)
(lyrics self-transcribed, corrected)
* From album: "Dead Man"
I've been standing on the corner
About an hour and a half
Watching all the ladies strutting
I've been standing on the corner
Here just wishing in my mind
How me and some chick could be rolling
On a hillside
In a green field
There's no need to hide, baby
I've been standing here waiting
With my perverted ideas
Hope I'm not wasting my time
I've been standing here waiting
With a feeling down inside
That I'm just barely controlling
On a hillside
In a green field
There's no need to hide, baby
I need a woman
Help me darling
‘Cause I'm spinning out
Are you catching all the vibes that I'm throwin'
Help me darling
‘Cause I need you right now
I've got wild thoughts that need some workin’
I need a woman right now
On a hillside
In a green field
There's no need to hide, baby
Get it out
-----------------------------------------
Josefus "Gimme Shelter" (lyrics found, bit modified)
* From album "Dead Man"
** Cover of: The Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter"
A storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
I'm gonna fade away
[War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away] 2x
The fire is sweeping
Out very streets today
Burns to the red coal carpet
Mad fool has lost his way
[War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away] 2x
[Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away] 3x
The flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
I'm gonna fade away
[War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away] 2x
Love, sister
[It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away] 2x
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

Josefus "Crazy Man" (lyrics found)
* From album "Dead Man"
I met a crazy man the other afternoon
And you should have heard the things that he said
He said he knew some things that I couldn't know too soon
And he spoke about the visions in his head
Crazy man told me you were tellin' lies
Said that there were times when you tried to make me cry
Listen to that crazy man
Listen to him babble on, listen to him
I'm sorry Sir, I'm sorry, please
But you I can't believe
I know my woman like I know my hand
And her one true love is me
I know there can't be truth in anything he says
My sweet darling's faithful just to me
Where he gets his stories is anybody's guess
But if they're true, I hope I'll never see
A crazy man told me you were tellin' lies
Said that there were times, babe, when you tried to make me cry
Listen to that crazy man
Listen to him babble on
I'm sorry Sir, I'm sorry, please
But you I can't believe
I know my woman like I know my own hand
And her one true love is me
So, it's all right
It's all right
---------------------------------------------
Josefus "Dead Man" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Dead Man"
Dead man
I only hear a rattle when you breathe
Dead man
I know you're seein' darkness when you sleep
Dead man
You could've been livin' if you tried
And you wanna live now
But there's only time to die
Dead man
You said that fame and fortune was your game
Dead man
Either it's cotton or it's gold, it's all the same
Dead man
Once you had a future, it's been denied
And you wanna live now
But there's only time to die
Alright
You're dead
Your flesh is turnin' pale
You're dead
I see your body layin' out on the rail, right now
Dead man
Now your whole world is on the tide
And you wanna live now
But there's only a little time to die
Dead man
I only hear a rattle when you breathe
Dead man, dead man
I know you're seein' darkness when you sleep
Dead man
You could've been really livin' if you tried
Now you only got a little bit of time to die
Time to die
Dead man, dead man, dead man
Yes, time to die, die

Josefus „Get Off My Case” (lyrics self-transcribed)
* Song from 1969
Let me be, let you be
There’s not too much difference I see
There’s some man said that where are my lost
He said that because of his kindness, yes
Tolerance is best
My mother cries
Your mother cries
I can understand because we all tell lies
Why don’t we stand up
Get off my chest
Start now
And take believe this creeping mess
Tolerance is best
My blood is yours
Your blood is mine
Wish we could live in
Once upon a time
There’s a big man
Talking about the numbered days
But it’s still a big crap
That where we keep on head
Tolerance is best

Josefus (as band: United Gas)
"I Love You" (lyrics self-transcribed)
"I Love You" (lyrics self-transcribed)
* Song probably from 60s
I love you
I love you
I need you
But you
You don't need me
The way that I need you
But I love you
I say I love you
We can't go on this way
Being untied
I can't sit like a pig
But I
I love you
I say I love you
Let's go
I love you
I love you
I need you
But you don't need me
The way that I need you
But I love you
I love you
We can't go on this way
