    Made Up My Mind
    (2:56)
    Youlden



    No more tell you woman
    To be so mad with me
    I didn't do nothing
    For you to treat me eviley

    (chorus)
    Cause I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    That your the girl I want to be mine

    Oh listen to my story
    Before you send me away
    Please don't nail me baby
    Until you've heard what I got to say

    (chorus)
    Cause I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    That your the girl I want to be mine

    I just want you baby
    To be on my side
    Show me your sweet nature
    Act a little nice and kind

    (chorus)
    Cause I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    That your the girl I want to be mine

    Oh listen to my story
    Before you send me away
    Please don't nail me baby
    Until you've heard what I got to say

    (chorus)
    Cause I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    That your the girl I want to be mine

    I just want you baby
    To be on my side
    Show me your sweet nature
    Act a little nice and kind

    (chorus)
    Cause I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    I made up my mind
    That your the girl I want to be mine

    Life's One Act Play
    (6:29)
    Youlden



    My days are shaded gray
    And my nights are shaded blue
    My face is lined with worry
    And my mind is split in two

    Feel just like a man
    Who's last real hope is gone
    Morality and religion
    Didn't teach me right from wrong

    And I need a little something
    Oh, just to mellow my days
    'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
    In life's one act play

    The world is changing fast
    Ain't got time to think twice
    Wanna keep on the ball
    Then you got to pay the price
    You can't judge the future
    By looking at the past
    And there ain't nobody out there
    Who you can stop and ask

    Oh, I need a little something
    Just to mellow my days
    'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
    In life's one act play

    Some people think, oh yes they do
    They found the way
    But they're a dime a dozen
    You can see them everyday
    Some people are happy
    In their delusions
    Oh, I wish sometimes
    I could share, I could share their illusions

    But nobody really knows
    What this life is all about
    Those who think they do
    Are the ones who should have doubts
    Sometimes I wonder
    What they are going to do
    When their cozy dreams are shattered
    And reality shows through

    Oh, I need a little something
    Just to mellow my days
    'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
    In lifes one act play

    And I need a little something
    Just to mellow my days
    'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
    In life's one act play
    In life's one act play
    In life's one act play
    In life's one act play




    I'm Tired // Where Am I
    (3:21) // (1:51)
    Youlden // Brown / Willie



    I'm tired of being a fool
    And my mind going from hot to cool
    And trying to conform to others ideas
    And someone else's rules

    The life I'm living ain't mine
    I'm supposed to feel that's fine
    I didn't make the world I'm living in
    And I ain't gonna toe the line

    I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
    I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
    You know some people are different
    Now ain't that a crying shame
    Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

    And I'm not going to try to please
    Eyes that just don't see
    If I get myself together
    You'll have the blues not me

    I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
    I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
    You know some people are different
    Now ain't that a crying shame
    Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

    And I'm not going to try to please
    Eyes that just don't see
    If I get myself together
    You'll have the blues not me

    You'll have the blues not me

      The Cooks Ferry Inn, Edmonton, London

      * Live Version


    Conquering America was Savoy Brown's intention first and foremost, and the make-up of the new LP was aimed fairly and squarely at that market's special requirements, just as their live show had latterly been. The American's penchant for lengthy workout medleys of established numbers was well known, and the 'Savoy Brown Boogie' components which the boys had tested individually and variously during the initial crusade were now whittled down to a perfection which Edmonton's patrons would be able to enjoy as the magnetic oxide rolled.
