Stop
Bloomfield & Kooper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is loadedIt's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
No one. . .No one! No way!
Gonna stop, now; Go!
Farm people, book wavers, soul savers, love preachers!
Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had done
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had doneHurrah!
And the water will run. . .Will run!
Will run! Gimme that!
Gimme that - your automobile
Turn off that smokestack and that goddamn radio
Hum along with me, hum along with the T.V.
A-A-A-A-M-M-M-M-M-M.
No one's gonna stop!

Kevin Hennessey me too. Played this to death back then along with Clapton Bluesbreakers and Free. This one has better production.

I did too, Kevin, and it still sends chills down my spine as well. I'm convinced that we lived during the most exciting, most creative era in the history of popular music...
