Lyrics from relish

"Right Hand Man"

Lemme use your toothbrush
Have you got a clean shirt?
My panties in a wad
At the bottom of my purse
I walk into the street
The air's so cool
I'm wired and I'm tired
Grinnin' like a fool

{b}
I've been on a floor, lookin' for a chair
I've been on a chair, lookin' for a couch
I've been on a couch, lookin' for a bed
Lookin' for a bed, lookin' for [my]-

{chorus}
My right hand, my right hand man (7x)
[Can't fix it, I don't know who can]

The sinsemilla salesman
And the cops on the block
They know what I been doin'
They see the way I walk
I wonder what they see now
I wonder what they do
To feel somebody want them
The way I'm wanting you

{b}
{chorus} [Use me up if you think you can]

~ sax solo ~

{b}
{chorus}
My right hand, my right hand man
(repeat, let it rip!)
If he can't fix it, gonna find a boy who can

TAB

Here's how I think the main riff to "Right Hand Man" is played. It should
be fairly accurate because it's based on what I remember seeing from
Saturday Night Live. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions, comments or
corrections at meunier.1@osu.edu   

 "Right Hand Man" (J.Osborne, E.Bazilian, R.Hyman, R.Chertoff, D.Van Vliet)

   From Joan Osborne's "Relish"(1995)
   Guitar parts performed on the album by Eric Bazilian
   Verse riff transcribed by Bryson Meunier

   main riff(clean electric)-
                           E
   E-------------------------------------------|
   B--------------------0----------------------|
   G--7----7---7--7--7--0--1--------1-----0----|
   D--7h9--7---7--9--7--0--2--------2-----0----|
   A--7----7---7-----7--0--2--------2-----0----|
   E-----------------------0--0--0-----0-------|

Repeat that riff throughout the verse. There's a possibility that it might
vary slightly at certain points. Just play along with the rhythm and it
should sound fine. Even though I described the tone as clean electric, there
may be a slight reverb or some other effect. I'm not a musician so I really
don't know. It sounds fine clean though IMO.

"Dracula Moon"

Where are the bones on that one
What if the cure is worse than the disease
Serve me up some pretty pretty people
Serve me up somebody I can believe

Don't feel sorry for me

{chorus}
I hate that look on your face
You say, "Just let go"
You say, "Come back home"
I say I'm just fallin' from grace.

I'm naked in a hotel room
My station comin' in loud and clear
I'm makin' out with my one true love
I'm makin' this hotel room disappear

Stop feelin' sorry for me
{chorus}

I like fallin' from grace

** groove solo **

You never know it to look at me
A a dr..dracula moon
See love come down any way you want to
Doesn't ask for your permission
Open up your arms and we will break you in too/two

Stop feelin' sorry for me
{chorus}

I say I'm just fallin' from grace (2x)
Just fallin'
Just fallin' (wail out)
I'm smooth and heavy all over the world
Ummm, smooth and heavy all over the world

"Spider Web"

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night.....
And he could see just fine

Dreamed about Ray Charles last night
And he could see just fine, you know
I asked him for a lullaby
He said, "Honey, I don't sing no more"
No more, no more... no more- Ray don't sing no more.

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back,
my voice has just deserted me.
No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more,
I stay in bed with MTV."
Then Ray took his glasses off
and I could look inside his head
Flashing like a thunderstorm
I saw a shining spider web.

{chorus} Spider web (3x)
In Ray Charles' head

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
He took me flying in the air
Showed my own spider webs
Said, "Honey, you had best take care.
The world is made of spider webs
The threads are stuck to me and you
Be careful what you're wishing for
Cause when you gain you just might lose"

"You just might lose your...
Spider web" (3x)
What Ray Charles said.

== solos ==

{b}
When your feelin' lonely
When you're hidin' in your bed
Don't forget your string of pearls
Don't forget your spider web

When I go to sleep tonight
Don't let me dream of brother Ray
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees
Just like him best the other way

Spider web (3x)
What Ray Charles said.

In Ray Charles head
All I gots my spider web
Keepin' me alive
C'mon Ray

"Let's Just Get Naked"

I know what you're hidin' from me
You know what I'm hidin' from you
I know that you hurt me real bad
You know that I hurt you bad too

{chorus}
Let's just get naked
Just for a laugh
Let's just get naked
It's a trip and a half

Here comes that story again
All about that television show
Here comes my typical response
Won't you tell me something I don't know
And I'm pissed off about bein' the cops
And you're pissed off about bein' the maid
And how long til they shut off the phone
Til the next time we get laid

{chorus}
- solo -

We've been together so long
I hope it wasn't just the drugs
What happened to the energy we had?
The morning glories and the rodeo hugs
And I know you like the back of my hand
With a stamp that says I paid to get in
And yes I am your television show
And you're the nicest place I've ever been

Let's just get naked
Just for a laugh
Let's just get naked
It wouldn't be so bad
{chorus}
Trip and a half
Let's just get naked
Just for a laugh....

"Help Me"

You gotta help me baby, I can't do it all by myself (2x)
If you don't help me daddy
Gotta find somebody else

{b- instrumental}

Put on your nightshirt baby, hand me my morning gown (2x)
Don't feel sleepy
I just feel like lyin' down

{b- wail}

Gotta help me baby, help me baby
Can't do it all by myself
If you don't help me daddy
Gotta find somebody else
> Oooh, real quiet, real quiet.....

|| harp solo ||

You gotta help me baby, gotta help me baby
Help me baby (2x)
Oooooh, ooooh

Just want a little lovin' before you pass away (2x)
Don't help me daddy, I'm gonna help me find somebody else

{b- wail some more- scream}

"Crazy Baby"

And your hands are really shakin' something awful
As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette
Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness
You forget...
Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with
And you're cryin' every time you turn around
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up
Off the ground...

{chorus}
Oh, my crazy baby
Try to hold on tight
Oh, my crazy baby
Don't put out the light
The light, the light, the light

And they look at you like you don't speak their language
And you're livin' at the bottom of a well
And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets
But you can't tell...
Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together
But you cannot bear to walk outside your door
No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror
Anymore...

{chorus}
- solo -

And your hands are really shakin' something awful
As your worries climb around inside your clothes
Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness
Heaven knows...

{chorus}
The light (5x)
The light.

"Lumina"

{chorus}
Lumina
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Take me through the snow

Eve take a train, Eve took a train
Went to see her man
Melting inside, melting away
Like butter in the pan

{chorus}

Eve took a fruit, Eve bit the fruit
Just ran down her chin
Babies will put things in their mouths
Never heard of sin

Lumina
Open like the sea
Lumina
sing me in the dark

Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask
What is wrong with this?
Here is the place, now is the time
Let's invent the kiss

{chorus}

Come and wrap around me...
