Alex Chilton

Alex has been one of my favorite musicians for over 20 years. I consider him to be one of the fathers of alternative music. he's from Memphis TN and is in the band Big Star and has some solo releases. was also in the Boxtops and wrote the song 'The Letter'. he is currently missing in New Orleans. no life is worth than any other, but his means a lot to me personally and I hope he is alive and will be rescued.

"NIGHTIME" (Chilton)

At nightime, I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They're looking at me, all the people to see

And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you're in the mood
Oh, you look so pretty
Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies

I'm walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said, "Get them away"
Please don't say a word
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here

"TAKE CARE" (Chilton)

Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such

Take care
Please, take care

Some people read idea books
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside

Take care
Please, take care

This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is, I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air

Take care
Please, take care

"IN THE STREET" (Bell/Chilton)

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do, but talk to you

Steal your car, and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had a joint so bad

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

"SEPTEMBER GURLS" (Chilton)

September gurls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you,
well, never mind
I've been crying all the time

December boys got it bad

September gurls, I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside
Even though I'll keep away
Maybe we'll love all our days

When I get to bed, late at night
That's the time she makes things right
Ooh when she makes love to me
