Primevil (1974, USA) 4 songs
Primevil "Progress"
(lyrics found and modified)
(lyrics found and modified)
* From album: "Primevil"
Woke up this morning
Feelin' awful small
Didn't need no telescope
Cause the writing’s on the wall
World keeps grooving faster
Problems never stop
Hope somebody’s fixed the brakes
Cause this can’t turned me off
Progress, progress
Got to pay the price
Progress, progress
Ain't no paradise
Everybody’s laughin’ there
Laughin’ at my horse
But I don't need no gasoline
To get me to the store
Every night I hear the news
My paranoia grows
Well, it's too late to shut the gates
So leave this man alone
It's now progress, progress
Got to pay the price
Progress, progress
Ain't no paradise
I can’t help but wonder
What the future’s gonna bring
I can count to two
But I’m scared of number three
Livin’ on a steady diet
Of news and propaganda
Dreamin’ about a juicy steak
And eat what they hand up
Progress, progress
Got to pay the price
Progress, progress
Ain't no paradise

Primevil "Pretty Woman"
(lyrics found and bit modified)
(lyrics found and bit modified)
* From album: "Primevil"
I know the thought that was in your mind
I know the look that was in your eyes
Don't try to run, you can't hide
Look at yourself, you're just to my side
Gonna take you out, pretty woman
Buy a fancy evening gown
Ain't gonna waste no time, pretty woman
Nothing in the world is gonna bring me down
I can't think what I'm gonna do
Well I didn't jump I tripped over you
Still can't believe that it's really true
If I never see you it'll be too soon
Gonna make you mine, pretty woman
Buy a fancy wedding gown
Ain't gonna waste no time, pretty woman
Nothing in the world is gonna bring me down
Well, I can't think what I'm gonna do
I didn't jump I tripped over you
Still can't believe that it's really true
Looking to you scored, it was really soon

Primevil "Leavin' "
(lyrics found and bit modified)
(lyrics found and bit modified)
* From album: "Primevil"
You told me that you would leave me
If I didn't change my ways
Woman, I can’t make the sun shine
On a cloudy day
Wish that I could get through to you
And make you understand
Life ain't like the stories
You believe in
Well, I’ve got to get myself together
Gotta get it on down
Had my share of nasty weather
Gonna leave this town
One bad road can kill a man
Ain't gonna happen to me
Up ahead's the open road
And that's all I wanna see
Sign on the road says Louisville
Just a few more miles to kill
Ain't been here for a couple of years
But I know a little woman gonna ease my fear
Truckin' nights, sleepin' days
The choice is up to me
Men don't know what the livin' is
If never man is free
Got myself a little woman down there
She always treats me right
When it's time for me to leave
I'm always satisfied
Stopped and spoke with a couple of dudes
That asked me where I'm goin'
I just told them, I don't know
Just keep that doobie rollin'"
Well, I’m jammin’ hard to Tennessee
I was busted south of Georgia
All really got me, look away
While I’m runnin’ the other
Three days in a slam jail
Brought a change into my life
All them fight with my old lady
Look like paradise
Woman, it's been
Three long years
Since we said
Our last goodbyes
I can see the happy smile
Behind your angry eyes
Maybe now we understand
We can't relive the past
Let's all live for
What we'll do tomorrow

Primevil "High Steppin' Stomper"
(lyrics found and bit modified)
(lyrics found and bit modified)
* From album: "Primevil"
You make believe you're upper class
What you've got I've already had
You make more money than an engineer
Ain't it funny how it disappears
Ain't no trains on your covered tracks
Where you're heading there's no turning back
Walkin' the streets, buy off the heat
Workin' every night just to make ends meet
Four tricks a night, pushing for five
Takes a lot of bread to buy snow in July
High Steppin' Stomper, you'd better read that
Sign your name on the dotted line
Sell your soul for a couple of dimes
You know the man, he knows your name
If you lose a trick, you know that you lose the game
High Steppin' Stomper, you're running out of time
I see through your painted eyes
Neon times and concrete lies
You lost your pride when you were young
You can't change what's already been done
How long has it been, since you've had a laugh
'Cause your future is fading fast
Walkin' the streets, buy off the heat
Workin' every night just to make ends meet
Four tricks a night, pushing for five
Takes a lot of bread to buy snow in July
High Steppin' Stomper, you'd better read that
Sign your name on the dotted line
You sell your soul for a couple of dimes
You know the man, he knows your name
But if you lose a trick, you know that you lose the game
High Steppin' Stomper, you're running out of time
Well, there's a mess, is to your life
After dark it's hard to find
You buy a dress and you, you change your name
Can't escape your claim to fame
Your childish dreams are fucked away
Your plastic smile is here to stay
Walkin' the streets, buy off the heat
Workin' every night just to make ends meet
Four tricks a night, pushing for five
Takes a lot of bread to buy snow in July
High Steppin' Stomper, you'd better read that
Sign your name on the dotted line
You sell your soul for a couple of dimes
You know the man, he knows your name
But if you lose a trick, you know you lose the game
