Layla - Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton - Layla

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

[Chorus]
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say I'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Dire Straits & Eric Clapton - Sultans of Swing

You get a shiver in the dark,
It's a raining in the park but meantime-
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing dixie, double four time
You feel alright when you hear the music ring
Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound
Way on downsouth
Way on downsouth
London town
Check out guitar george, he knows-all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make them cry or sing
They said an old guitar is all - he can afford
 when he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And harry doesn't mind - if he doesn't, make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Savin' it up, for friday night
With the sultans
We're the sultans of swing
Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
Then the sultans
Yeah the sultans they play creole, creole
Lead 1:
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
 and says at last just as the time bell rings
Goodnight, now it's time to go home
 and he makes it fast with one more thing
We are the sultans
We are the sultans of swing

Eric Clapton - Cocaine (Slowhand 1977)

If you wanna hang out, you've gotta take her out: cocaine
if you wanna get down, get down on the ground: cocaine
She's alright,
she's alright,
she's alright,
cocaine
If you got that lose, you wanna kick them blues: cocaine
when your day is done, and you wanna ride on cocaine
She's alright,
she's alright,
she's alright,
cocaine
If your day is gone, and you wanna ride on: cocaine
don't forget this fact: you can't get it back: cocaine
She's alright,
she's alright,
she's alright,
cocaine
She's alright,
she's alright,
she's alright,
cocaine.
