Thoughts on "Honest Man" and "Believe", One Song - Two Versions Options

[Hoodstock]

You guys do realize that music from "Honest Man" by TGF comes from the song "Believe" by Live.

Just give it a listen:

Honest Man: http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/gracious...-man--218696430

Believe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZqT0stibWs

New lyrics - same base song . Ed had his chance with it and then Kevin (or the band) redid the song.

I wish I had a studio version of Believe to directly compare the two vocal performances. I prefer the lyrics of Honest Man but I would have loved to hear this as a Live song.

for the upcoming LiveFan blog, the lyrical debate Honest Man Or Believe.....(just an assist to fish)

while one song expresses the frustrations of the common man and the recession, the other sounds like a proclamation to bolt out the door. Whatcha think??

Honest Man:

With a riot in mind
Comes an angry young man
With a stone from the pavement
Comes an army of unrest
Stripped bare by her bachelors, stripped bare on the ground
Knuckles bared and still bleeding with the blood of this town
They take my home they take my land the flower of my life
They take my friends; they take my love and cut me like a knife
I spit these words at vile lies the worlds forgotten men
Aint no work
Aint no work
For an honest man
In a daze of confusion
Lies a troubled broken land
As they feast upon my table
I am left with an empty hand
Stripped bare by her bachelors, stripped bare on the ground
Knuckles bared and still bleeding with the blood of this town
They take my home they take my land the flower of my life
They take my friends; they take my love and cut me like a knife
I spit these words at vile lies the worlds forgotten men
Aint no work
Aint no work
For an honest man
For so long we’ve been told
That our paths lead us home
Are we safe from ourselves?
Have we strayed or have we failed?
They take my home they take my land the flower of my life
They take my friends; they take my love and cut me like a knife
I spit these words at vile lies the worlds forgotten men

Aint no work
Aint no work
For an honest man

Believe:

There’s a wake up from the dream
Into is it out of seam
til the rise up for some
want to share this bread out loud
It’s time to believe again
I brought it to you my friend
If this is not the end, then drive until the point of no return
I blew up my tv set
A solid ball of disarray
They can smell right through my quiet all my........
It’s time to believe again
I brought it to you my friend
If this is not the end, then drive until the point of no return
No return
No return
No return
It’s time to believe again
I brought it to you my friend
If this is not the end, then drive until the point of no return
It’s time to believe again
I brought it to you my friend
If this is not the end, then drive until the point of no return
