I'm gone,I’m gone I done stayed around here way too long I'm gone, I'm gone, I done stayed around here I’ve been laying around here whined and complained around here way too long Find A Way I keep losing my temper, slamming fists against the wall Been clutching at straws, trying to stop this free fall I’m having crazy dreams, I’m wide awake before dawn Got a hole in my soul, feeling battered and torn So if I fly off the handle, please understand that I’m trying I just got to find a way to get a little bit of peace of mind 25 Years gone by , the time sure flies Ten thousand cups of coffee, six thousand hours overtime Now the lights have been dimmed, silence echoes through these halls I’ll be gone by November and no one will remember us at all You know I’m ain’t sentimental, that ain’t a tear in my eye I just got to find a way to hold a smile through this long goodbye I got a fine loving woman, so sweet and wise Shines a light through my darkness, pulls the wool off my eyes So I make sure to count my blessings , it’s a daily routine I Keep my eyes on the horizon, and try to wipe the slate clean But you can’t unring a bell, can’t unsay what’s been said I just got to find a way to drown out these voices in my head Magic All through the night all through the day The way she moves the way she sways I just can't say why I can't explain It feels so right it feels so wrong and it feels insane Here she comes in through the door I see her walking across the floor She's an island of calm in the eye of the storm I just want a little more….of that magic The sound of her voice, the swing of her hips The scent of her skin, the smile on her lips Time stands still when I look in her eyes I got a grin on my face, blood starts to race, and my tongue's getting tied I don't want to hold her hand I don't need her to understand I don't have any long-term plans I just want a little taste …. of that magic All the other men in town Just want to chase her down I don't mind 'cause she loves my sound She just wants a little bit of my….magic Together we make magic… Bad Luck Charm Feels like I'm playing with crooked dice I've been taking all the wrong advice I'm the only one that lightning strikes twice Feeling like I’m born to lose You’re my bad luck charm,My bad luck charm You’re my bad luck charm and I think it’s time to cut you loose You smile at babies and they start to cry You drive my car and the battery dies We went to a party and to my surprise The police came and shut it down You're my bad luck charm, you're my bad luck charm You're my bad luck charm , it's bad luck just to have you around Seems like all we ever do is fight Nothing ever seems to turn out right You got me so I can’t sleep at night I’ve had enough and I believe - You’re my bad luck charm,My bad luck charm You’re my bad luck charm and I think it’s time for me to leave I wish I never met you at all I curse the phone every time you call I gotta run , or fly, even crawl Get out before I get stuck You’re my bad luck charm,My bad luck charm You’re my bad luck charm and it’s time for me to change my luck The Fighting Blues I’m like a losing fighter, been knocked down for the count Got to get back on my feet, and fight another round But I been hit so hard , just want to stay down on the ground They say the darkest hour is just before dawn And they say what doesn't kill you, will only make you strong They say everything happens for a reason - but you know they could be wrong My eyes are on the prize I try not to despair Blues is my one true faith I know she’ll take me there I lost my job, the future’s in a haze Been kicked to the curb, discarded and disgraced Can’t say what’s on my mind, I don’t think too straight these days She sleeps like a child Her conscience is clean I watch her through the night And I think of all my sins She tells me not to worry, everything's gonna be alright I sing her name in the morning, thank the gods for her each night With you in my corner baby, I can win most any fight Tear It Down You know I’m leaving baby , won’t be coming back Can’t take the way you treat me, can’t stand the way you act You thought I was your fool, lying all the time Let me tell you baby, good fools are hard to find I know we had some good times, but that was way back when Going to tear it down now, and start all over again I don’t hate you baby, you know I wish you well Why we never made it , you know I just can’t tell I’ve heard your jive too many times, I ain’t listening no more That story don’t mean nothing , as I’m walking out the door Big grin on my face now, big weight off my chest I’m gonna tear it down now, and start all over again Been worried such a long time, confused and all alone I didn't want to face it, break up my happy home I know this is a hard road, with a heavy price to pay Now my mind is made up, and I’m on my merry way I ain’t looking back now, I got no regrets Time to tear it down now, and start all over again King (ft. Assaf Rozov) Dedicated to the memory of “King” Earnest Baker (1939-2000) He was born in Mississippi, but they could not keep him down When he made it to Chicago, he was the hottest man in town Worked a day job in LA, but he never lost his faith Because he knew that the Blues will always find a way And your hips would shake, your heart would break He’d rock your soul every time he’d sing And I can’t forget the day That I first saw him play - and I knew that Earnest was a King Time stood still when he performed, it was magic when he danced, Played each show as though he knows that it might be his last Always sharp-dressed ,giving his best, in a full house or empty room You always felt like Earnest was singing just for you And he had a smile, could light up the room, He walked with grace and quiet dignity I never saw him raise his voice,he never lost his cool Because Earnest had the soul of a King He never made million bucks or the Hollywood walk of fame Never cracked the big time, but he’s a legend just the same He lived the Blues and triumphed without anger or despair And I’m grateful for the fortune of the short time that we shared After all these years, I still smile Every time I think of my friend King He left us way too soon, finally got his wings Now the angels get to hear King Earnest sing Dance The Blues No need to hurry, take your time Take all the worry from your mind Just relax enjoy the groove Tonight we’re gonna dance the Blues Despair comes seeping through the cracks Hard to separate lies from facts Can’t tell the satire from the news Just keep it real and dance the Blues Your soul is weary your heart feels bound Just want to lay your burden down Just lift your head , kick off your shoes Come on down and dance the Blues I think of all the wrong I’ve done Of battles lost and friendships gone But when your pride is badly bruised Just come on down and dance the Blues Taking My Time Making love in the middle of the morning Stay up all night drinking red wine Let the phone ring, I ain't taking no calls I'm just sitting here taking my time Baby smiles and says to me "You’re my number one guy tonight Might even keep you all through the weekend I like the way you're taking your time" Some day when I'm old and grey Thinking back on the days of my life I might forget all the hurrying and worrying But I'll be glad that I took my time BlueSoul Call me the wilderness generation Try to speak my mind but I’m lost in translation The road less traveled is my inspiration The path means more than the destination Living in the east but my heart’s in the west Exiled for life , but I must confess Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m cursed or blessed But my mind is free and I live the quest Bluesoul - never tamed never growing old Bluesoul - got nothing to lose and nowhere to go I used to play ball with the kids from the ghetto They called me the Bird ,said “that white boy can play,yo” Other people told me I should stick with my own But I been color blind ever since the day I was born My heroes are all colors shapes and sizes I got people in my family from all sides Some folks are good, some are bad - here’s a word to the wise Ain’t no chosen people, stop spreading that lie Bluesoul - never tamed never growing old Bluesoul - got nothing to lose and nowhere to go I toil and grind for each line and rhyme To tell the story straight, satisfy my mind All I need is one lucky break, just one time Could’nt quit if I wanted so I keep on trying I fought , never bought, never sold my soul Almost reached for the gold, but chose the burning coal These days I try to keep my fire under control I stay cool on the surface, but I boil below Bluesoul - never tamed never growing old Bluesoul - got nothing to lose and nowhere to go Dov Hammer  “BlueSoul” All songs written by Dov Hammer Produced by Dov Hammer © & (P) Co-producers: Tzafrir Lichtenstein (songs 2,3,4,5,10) and Amir Hacohen (Song 11) Songs 2,3,4,5,10 recorded by Tzafrir Lichtenstein and mixed by Ori Beanstock Song 6, 9 recorded and mixed by Matan Ashkenazy Songs 1, 7, 8 recorded and mixed by Shlomo Deshet Song 11 recorded and mixed by Amir Hacohen Mastering by Shlomo Deshet Cover art and design by Taloosh MUSICIANS Dov Hammer – Lead and backing vocals, harmonicas, rapping on track 11 Tzafrir Lichtenstein – Drums & Percussion (tracks 2,3,4,5,10) all electronic backing on track 10 Nir Segal – Drums & Percussion (tracks 1,7,8) Assaf Rozov – Lead vocals and guitar track 8,Backing vocals track 1 Kfir Tzairi – Keyboards (tracks 2,3) Yair Fine – guitar and slide guitar (tracks 1,6,7,8,9), stomp box on tracks 6 and 9 Gil Katzir – Electric  and acoustic  guitar (tracks 1,7,8) Danny Manor -
