This is not a tape/CD request, because I know to use the Resources for Traders site for that.
i was listening to a dead hour i taped a while ago the other day, and i came across a song i had never heard before, and conveniently the tape ran out before the end when all of the songs are told. i've been looking for this song ever since, to no avail. i'm pretty sure it's a cover, but i can't find anything about it. it's a fast paced song with bobby singing, and it has pigpen in it, so i know it's from the 60's. the main lyrics seem to be "no time to cry", but i can't find any dead songs with that title. please help!! e mail me back at [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks!
going to http://www3.clearlight.com/~acsa/intro.htm
and plugging in "no time to cry"
i get this:
Alice D Millionaire
Lyrics: Grateful Dead?
Music: Grateful Dead?
This song is often listed as "No Time To Cry", but it seems that "Alice D Millionaire" is the correct title. It is refered to in Scully's book:
'I have to get back to San Franciso State.
... I get out there in time for the last song, "Alice D Millionaire," based
on
that wonderful headline in the San Francisco
Chronicle when Owsley got busted for the first time. The headline
read "LSD Millionaire Arrested."'
Lyrics
You say you're living in a world of trouble
All your schemes have popped like a bubble
Your mother told your sister
And your brother told your friend
Now your secret's out, and you don't have
to pretend
You can see for yourself, it's really not
the end
Chorus
You're standing there with tears in your eyes
There's too much going on now, there's no
time to cry
You say the walls are closing in on you child
All your friends have put you in exile
Bad luck seems to follow you all around the
world
You can't seem to find no peace of mind girl
You will take a chance to seem so bad
[Chorus]
Every minute is a brand new day
And there are some games that I'd just love
to play
Even bad scenes are for real, there's no time
to cry
Since you left your old scene behind you
Go ahead and let the green light find you
It's warm and friendly girl and it won't blind
you
Come out in the street and the weeds won't
grind you
See the love is in the air, you feel it all
around you
[Chorus]
Your yesterday's are all left behind
There's a brand new light in your mind
You don't need a key to define
What's written on the magic sign
There's no time to cry
When the season of the magic lantern
Is transformed into a funny pattern
And the wheel of fortune has a flat tire
You can't seem to get any higher
When you go above the [?] machine, you find
a horseshoe
[Chorus]
