TFT: Marvin Gaye


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Trouble Man
Marvin Gaye
I've come apart baby
But now I'm cool
I didn't make it surely
Playin' by the rules
I've come apart baby
But now I'm fine
I'm checkin' trouble sure
Movin' down the line
I've come apart baby
But that's Okay
'Cause Trouble Man
Don't get in my way

I've come apart baby
I've been for real baby
Gonna keep movin'
Gonna roll to town
I've come apart
Come on
Get down
There's only three things
That’s for sure
Taxes
Death
And trouble
This I know baby
This I know child
Yeah
Let the sweat through you baby

Get me singin'
Yeah
Yeah
Ooo

I've come apart baby
I had to fight
Took him on madness
With all my might
I've come apart
I had to win
Then start all over
And then again
I've come apart
But that's Okay
'Cause Trouble Man
Don't get in my way
Hey hey
I've heard some places
And I've seen some places
I've never had tensions
I give my directions
When people say
That's Okay
They don't bother me
I'm ready to make it
Don't care 'bout the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble
Got myself together
No laughin'
No cryin'
Protection's all around me

I've come apart baby
I've been for real baby
With the Trouble Man
Movin'
Goin' tight
I've come apart
Come on
Get down
There's only three things
For sure
Taxes
Death
And trouble
This I know
Baby baby
This I know
Baby baby
Hey now
Let it sweat baby

Oooh
I've come apart
But now I'm cool
I didn't make it baby
Playin' by the rules
I've come apart baby
But now I'm fine
I'm checkin' trouble
Hey
Movin' down the line
Oh


What’s Going On
Marvin Gaye
Mother
Mother
There's too many of you cryin’
Brother
Brother
Brother
There's far too many of you dyin’
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin'
Here today
Yeah

Father
Father
We don't need to escalate
You see
War is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin'
Here today

Picket lines
And picket signs
Don't punish me
With brutality
Talk to me
So you can see


Oh
What's goin’ on
What's goin’ on
Yeah
What's goin’ on
Oh
What's goin’ on

In the meantime
Right on baby
Right on
Right on

Marvin
Marvin
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh
But who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understandin’ here today
Oh

Picket lines
And picket signs
Don't punish me
With brutality
Talk to me
So you can see

Oh
What's goin’ on
Yeah
What's goin’ on
Tell me
What's goin’ on
I'll tell you
What's goin’ on
Wooo
Right on baby
Right on baby
Right on baby
Right on baby
Right on baby
Right on baby
Right on baby
Right on baby

  4. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! He has never been much of a favorite of mine, but he had to be added on account of being mentioned in the Commodores' Nightshift. Next week will be Jackie Wilson, who is another not-so-favorite of mine (I think).

  7. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Grace!!! Alas, just when I actually manage to do something that you approve of, I must delay publishing my regular series here until The Crackerhead Chronicles audible book project is completely ready to upload to YouTube. I will publish a more complete explanation as soon as I can.
