Welcome to 60s & 70s Music Store!

First We Take Manhattan
by Joe Cocker
(Lyrics by Leonard Cohen)

They Sentanced Me To Twenty Years Of Boredom
For Trying To Change The System From Within
I'M Coming Now
I'M Coming To Reward Them

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

I'M Guided By A Signal In The Heavens
I'M Guided By The Birthmark On My Skin
I'M Guided By The Beauty Of Our Weapons

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

I'D Really Like To Live Beside You Baby
I Love Your Body And Your Spirit And Your Clothes
But You See That Line That's Moving
Through The Station
I Told You
I Told You
I Told You I Was One Of Those

I Don'T Like Your Fashion Business Mister
I Don'T Like Those Drugs That Keep You Thin
I Don'T Like What Happened To My Sister

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

Peace

Joe Cocker (born John Robert Cocker, May 20, 1944)
He started his musical career in the city of his birth Sheffield, England in some minor bands at the age of 15: the first band was the Avengers (under the stage name Vance Arnold), then Big Blues (1963), and then The Grease Band (1966). In 1969 he was featured on the American TV program The Ed Sullivan Show.

His first big hit was the song "With a Little Help from My Friends," a cover of the song by The Beatles off the Sgt. Pepper's album, with guitar played by Jimmy Page. The same year he appeared at the Woodstock Music Festival (photo above-LH). He had further success covering Beatles tunes with his cover of their song "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" off their Abbey Road album. Other early hits included "Cry Me a River" and "Feelin' Alright". In 1970, his live cover of the Box Tops' hit "The Letter", which appeared on the tour compilation album Mad Dogs & Englishmen, became his first U.S. Top Ten.

Onstage, he often exhibited a physical intensity as he sang, and his unique stage presence was often spoofed by comedian John Belushi (including an impromptu duet when Joe was the guest musician on Saturday Night Live).

In the beginning of 1970s he had problems with drugs including alcohol that had a negative influence on his musical career. He managed, however, to make a comeback in the 1980s and 1990s.

Another Mind Gone
by Joe Cocker
Feel
The truth
Come shining through
Soon there'll be
There'll be no place to turn to
In the light
Of the day
So far away
From anything

Anything that we've been used to
Just another mind gone
Just another mad song
From a self neglector
I'm telling you

It's just another night crow
Another mind blow
And then rejected
Another mind gone

Hard
To say
The right way
It should be ours
Ours just for the taking
In the dawns

They're lying
Give us strenght of mind
Yet leaves us on
While other hearts are breaking
It's just another lifewire
Just another hell fire
Needed understanding
Hear me now

It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone

It seems so hard
To keep my sanity
Just stay in touch
With reality
I apologise

I don't want a ride
I don't want to be
Another mind gone
It's just another mind gone
Just another mad dog
Feeling selfneglected

Telling you
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone

Yeah
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Just another mad song I know
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone

It's just another headcase
Just another lost face
And there's a mind gone
