23 Apr 1981 TROUBLE NO MORE: THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 13 / 1979-1981 (DeLuxe Edition)

Shot Of Love session 7, United Western Studio, Los Angeles CA - 23.apr.1981, take 4 I was listenin' to the voices of death on parade Grand Central station was of an anonymous ... holds down on me Workin' for a system i didn't understand or trust Sufferin' ridicule and even turnin' what i had to give up in disgust. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife In hunger an' need, you made my heart bleed You changed my life, you changed my life. Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired They got a million things to do, they're all so inspired I was practisin' free choice and the freedom of speech But that celebrate .... was a little bit out of reach. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife Under the gun, clouds blockin'/backin' the sun You changed my life, you changed my life. Now the nature of man is to beg and to steal I do it myself, it's not so unreal The call of the wild is forever at my door Want me to fly like an eagle while bein' chained to the floor. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife From silver and gold, that a man cannot hold You changed my life, you changed my life. Well I was eatin' with the pigs off a fancy tray I said you're lookin' good, i was told to have a nice day It all seemed so proper and so elite Eatin' that obsolete garbage while bein' so discreet. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife You opened the door, I came in on all board You changed my life, you changed my life. There's someone in my body that i could hardly see Invading my privacy, making my decisions for me Holdin' me back, not lettin' me stand Makin' me feel like a stranger in a strange land. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife You came down the line, gave me a new mind You changed my life, you changed my life You changed my life, you changed my life.

23 Apr 1981 the bootleg series volumes 1-3 [rare and unreleased] 1961-1991

Shot Of Love session 7, United Western Studio, Los Angeles CA - 23.apr.1981, take 11 I was listenin' to the voices of death on parade Singin' about conspiracy, wantin' me to be afraid Workin' for a system I couldn't understand or trust Sufferin' ridicule and wanting to give it all up in disgust. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife In hunger an' need, you made my heart bleed You changed my life. Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired They got a million things to do, they're all so inspired You do the work of the devil you got a million friends They'll be there when you got something, they'll take it all in the end. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife I was under the gun, now I'm back in the sun You changed my life. Well the nature of man is to beg and to steal I do it myself, it's not so unreal The call of the wild is forever at my door Want me to fly like an eagle while bein' chained to the floor. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife From silver and gold to what man can't hold You changed my life. When I was eatin' with the pigs off a fancy tray I was told I was lookin' good and to have a nice day It all seemed so proper, it all seemed so elite Eatin' that obsolete garbage while bein' so discreet. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife From silver and gold to what man can't hold You changed my life. You were glowin' in the sun while bein' peaceable calm While orphans of man dance to the beat of the palm You eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass In the world you had made, they had made you an outcast. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife From silver and gold t' what man can't hold You changed my life. There's someone in my body that I could hardly see Invadin' my privacy, makin' my decisions for me Holdin' me back, not lettin' me stand Makin' me feel like a stranger in a strange land. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife You came down the line, gave me a new mind You changed my life. My lord and my savior, my companion, my friend Heart fixer, mind regulator, true to the end My creator, my comforter, my cause for joy What the world is set against but will never destroy. But you changed my life Came along in a time of strife You came in like the wind, like Errol Flynn You changed my life.

Mar/Apr? 1981

Alternate lyrics of forgotten origin ▹ Chorus: You changed my life Came along in a time of strife In hunger and need, you made my heart bleed You changed my life, you changed my life. Now the nature of man is to beg and to steal I'd do it myself it's not so unreal The call of the wild's forever at my door Want me to fly like an eagle being chained to the floor Chorus Eating with the pigs off a fancy tray I was told, I was looking good and to have a nice day It all seemed so proper and so elite Eating absolute garbage while being so discreet. Chorus You were glowing in the light being peaceably calm Well, how often does a man dance to the beat of the palm? Your eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass In a world that you made, you were an outcast Chorus Truce makers and partakers of every selfish whim Her running to meet me running to her and you running back to him Their destruction of my confidence was like a sharpness of the tongue I said make my faith greater but I was a little high strung Chorus
