Joe Cockerwas born in Sheffield, England on May 20, 1944, the youngest son of a civil servant. In 1961 Joe by day, worked as an apprentice gas fitter and by night, in dark suit and bow tie, became singing with Avengersin rough Sheffield pubs. The set included songs by mentor Ray Charles"What'd I Say" and "Georgia On My Mind." Vance Arnold and the Avengers biggest moment came in 1963 when they supported The Rolling Stones at Sheffield City Hall, and brought the house down. The following year Joe left the Gas Board and released his first single, a cover of The Beatles "I'll Cry Instead." His band, Joe Cocker Big Blues, built up a large following in the north of England and ventured to France for a two month stint, playing on American airbases. The servicemen, many from America's deep south, loved Joe.

Another Mind Gone Lyrics

Joe Cocker

Feel
The truth
Come shining through
Soon there'll be
There'll be no place to turn to
In the light
Of the day
So far away
>From anything
Anything that we've been used to
Just another mind gone
Just another mad song
>From a self neglector
I'm telling you
It's just another night crow
Another mind blow
And then rejected
Another mind gone
Hard
To say
The right way
It should be ours
Ours just for the taking
In the dawns
They're lying
Give us strenght of mind
Yet leaves us on
While other hearts are breaking
It's just another lifewire
Just another hell fire
Needed understanding
Hear me now
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone
It seems so hard
To keep my sanity
Just stay in touch
With reality
I apologise
I don't want a ride
I don't want to be
Another mind gone
It's just another mind gone
Just another mad dog
Feeling selfneglected
Telling you
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone
Yeah
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Just another mad song I know
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
It's just another headcase
Just another lost face
And there's a mind gone
