No.29: the Guru Blues ,1990

My woman ,she left me , my hamster it died
They took away my house, I laid down and cried
But I'm not defeated , I know what I'll do
I'll go search for a Guru , and He'll find me too

I'm goin' to the Guru , that's what i'm gonna do
Cos my heart it is so heavy and my mind it's blue
I'm goin' to the Guru , that's what I'm gonna do
For this heart it is so heavy my mind it's blue

Well I travelled all the oceans ,I swam in the sea
I crossed desert , climbed mountains what did I see?
The Guru he was waitin' my soul became bright
Just lookin' at him was all peace, love and light

I'm goin' to the Guru , that's what i'm gonna do
Cos my heart it is so heavy and my mind it's blue
I'm goin' to the Guru , that's what I'm gonna do
For this heart it is so heavy my mind it's blue


I said :'teacher help me , cos I wanna be wise
For this body's been beaten by too many lies '
He said:'your eyes are made for listenin' now look with your ears
I'm gonna show you how to fight off all the tears!'


I'm goin' to the Guru , that's what i'm gonna do
Cos my heart it is so heavy and my mind it's blue
I'm goin' to the Guru , that's what I'm gonna do
For this heart it is so heavy my mind it's blue


Now the guru he drank whisky and blew a strange smoke
I said: 'Man! what is this some kind of joke? '
He left me next mornin' took all my clothes
I'm a born loser , that's just how life goes


I don't want no Guru what a crazy thing to do
Cos my heart it is still heavy and my mind it's blue
I don't want no Guru what a crazy thing to do
Cos my heart it is still heavy and my mind it's blue


Now I don't want nobody I'm a lonely machine
Who ever shared my sufferin' knows just what I mean
That Guru sent from heaven , he was no fool
I've taken up his leaf now and opened up my own school


I'm gonna be a Guru , that's what I'm gonna do
But my heart it's still heavy ,my mind's black and blue
I'm gonna be a Guru , that's what I'm gonna do
My heart it's still havy ,my mind's red,black and blue
