1. _ How Come
How come when i got the ace of hearts
Ya always draw the ace of spades
How's it when your best friend
Brings you lillies on your birthday
Hey how come, hey how come
Well i ain't superstitious, but well these things i see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
How come when your local clergy calls
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black
What kind of bread are you gonna' bake
With that hemlock in your spice rack
Hey how come, hey how come
Well i ain't superstitious, but well these things i see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
The spider's run, the cobwebs gone
Did you eat it when the moon was new
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that
I've even broken up your broom
How come, how come
Well i ain't superstitious, but well these things i see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
Well how come, how come
Well i ain't superstitious, but well these things i see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

2. _ Pont Mirabeau
Below the pont mirabeau
Slow flows the seine
And all out loves together
Must i recall again
Joy would always follow
After pain
Hands holding hands
Let us stand face to face
While underneath the bridge
Of our arms entwined slow race
Eternal gazes flowing
At wave's pace
Let night fall, let the hours go by
The days pass on and here i stand
Love runs away
Like running water flows
Love flows away
But oh how slow life goes
How violent is hope
Love only knows
Let night fall, let the hours go by
The days pass on and her stand i
The days flow ever on
The weeks pass by in vain
Time never will return
Nor our loves burn again
Below the pont mirabeau
Slow flows the seine
Let night fall, let the hours go by
The days pass on and here i stand
--------------------------------------------
Sous le pont mirabeau coule la seine
Et nos amours
Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne
La joie venait toujours apr |
3. _ Oretown
The night stank of diesel
And a stranger came to town
A cold wind blowing
And the rain pouring down
Street lights flicker
And the power lines moan
The moon beat down
On a river of bone
Someone put the lights out
No one make a sound
You won't find a thing
Down in oretown
Foundry spits fire and smoke
Air's foul and choking
Sky full of sulphur
Mountains flat and broken
Black fogs and whirlwinds
Thunder and rain
Open drink madness
And purple mad pain
The circus is over
Exit the clowns
Nobody's laughing
Down in oretown
The ship's in the harbour
Cargo's been pawned
Barrooms spilling sailors
All shipwrecked at dawn
Smelling of salt and rust
Uniforms torn
Came looking for flowers
Only found thorns
Dreaming of mermaids
In pearly white gowns
Tain is sleeping
Down in oretown
There's a madman down on mainstreet
Eyes all aflame
Laughing in the thunder
Of the number 9 train
Selling old postcards in rusty frames
A thousand views of oretown
And they all look the same
Dressed up in sandals
And a barbed wire crown
A lot of people loose their minds
Down in oretown
Lock up the lawman
Let go the thief
Rounding up the grey men
Nail them to a tree
This town was a palace
This town was aglow
Then the sky burned orange
And the iron river flowed
The night stank of diesel
A stranger came to town
The night folded over
Down in oretown

4. _ Tosspint
Tosspint rises early
Sprung from a nightmare's claw
Thrice crows the dawn cock
The mist is on the moor
Tosspint cries from croaking gills
Thank god i'm not forsaken
From the hellish depths of sleep
At last i am awaken
Tosspint flushed his kidneys
And rained a golden shower
Pleased to piss a good pot full
He shat upon the hour
Tosspint filled his belly
With tripe and ox's tongue
A sucking pig stuffed with figs
Into his guts he flung
Full belly and the dance is merry
Where hunger reigns no strength obtains
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum
Tosspint drinks lustily
And pees against the sun
All around the hoary oak
The laughing maidens run
Tosspint warms his codpiece
To the flour adds the yeast
In the field by tanner's mill
He plays to two-backed beast
Twist the spigot, close the hole
Stoke the fire and blow the coal
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum
Full belly and the dance is merry
Where hunger reigns no strength obtains
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum
Tosspint fell foul of dogma
And slipped into schism
The trial was quick, the sky grew dark
They led him from the prison
Tied him to a stake of oak
Lit a fire of wood and coke
The crowd sang out "his bacon's smoked!"
The bells rang out "tosspint's croaked!"
Tosspint under flaming sky
Walks through the fires of hell
Where bestial demons threw the damned
Screaming as they fell
Into pits of burning coals
Tosspint throws up his last bowl
And mingled with the soup
His soul
Tosspint rises early
Sprung from a nightmare's claw
Thrice crows the dawn cock
The mist is on the moor
Twist the spigot, close the hole
Stoke the fire and blow the coal
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum

5. _ Bright Lights
The bright lights are calling me
The bright lights are calling me
When the world is dark and cold
And i'm heading down the road
The bright lights are calling me
As the world is round, the road is long
I've trouble on my mind
I'll just keep on moving
Until the day comes round
The wind a' blowing on my back
And my feet a' flying
Flying down the road
Where the bright lights shine
Monday's in a pigtown
Tuesday's in a truck
Wednesday's a field of mud
And thursday's out of luck
Friday's rain clouds
Saturday flies by
Sunday comes shining
From a blue blue sky
The bright lights are calling me
The bright lights are calling me
When the world is dark and cold
And i'm heading down the road
The bright lights are calling me
Some towns are golden
Some towns are stained
Some towns are shadows
Fading in the rain
Some towns are rust
And some towns they gleam
Some towns are mad dogs
Some towns are a dream
The bright lights are calling me
The bright lights are calling me
When the world is dark and cold
And i'm heading down the road
The bright lights are calling me
Some dreams are hollow
Some dreams are cold
Some dreams are crazy
And some dreams are bold
Some dreams are bought
And other dreams are sold
Some dreams lie waiting
At the end of the road
The bright lights are calling me
The bright lights are calling me
When the world is dark and cold
And i'm heading down the road
The bright lights are calling me

6. _ Amadie
Voici une histoire
D'un homme cajun
Amadie adouin
Etat son nom
Avec sa guitare
Et avec sa voix
Amadie adouin
Etait le roi
Here is the story
Of a cajun man
Amadie adouin
Was his name
With his guitar
And his voice
Amadie adouin
Was the king
In a town seperated by railroad tracks
When one side's white the other side must be black
La sueur brulait
Dans ses yeux
Les blancs ont crie
N' arrete pas
Quand amadie pouvait
Plus jouer
Il demandait a celine
Son mouchoir
(the sweat burnt
In his eyes
The whites shouted
Don't stop
When amadie couldn't
Play anymore
He asked to celine
His handerchief)
Black were the tears amadie adouin cried
Tears a white handkerchief just could not hide
Les bois d'arcadia
Ils sont morts
Au fond de la terre
Amadie s'endort
Mais si vous voulez
Ecouter sa voix
Demande aux ricains
De la chercher d'en bas
(the forest of arcadia
Is dead
Deep under the ground
Amadie falls asleep
But if you want to listen
To his voice
Ask the yanks
To look for it from the bottom)
They ran right over amadie's vocal cords
Good old boys in a good ol' model t ford
Amadie took a walk by the railroad track
To the other side and he won't be coming back
They ran right over amadie's vocal cords
Those good old boys in a good old model t ford
Amadie took a walk by the railroad track
To the other side and he won't be coming back

7. _ Anniversary
The dawn shines her light
To scare off the night
And the sun from his slumber is woken
The bells are ringing out
As the town crier shouts
Words too strong to be spoken
There's a rumble in the ground
And the air fills with sound
Trumpets in the wind are a' blowing
The townsfolk peep
Through the curtains of sleep
To the sound of the cocks all a' crowin
The winds may blow
Come rain, come slow
Today's for you and me
I gave my heart to you my love
You gave your heart to me
The sun wears a smile
And the clock winks its dial
The clouds in the sky are unfolding
The birds on the wing
Like angels they sing
The heavens are glowing all golden
The crowds all spill out
They cheer and they shout
Banners and flags are a' waving
The flowers all a' bloom
Blow kisses to the moon
As blossom falls on the paving
The wind may blow
Come rain, come snow
Today's for you and me
I gave my heart to you my love
You gave your heart to me
The whole world roars
A chorus of applause
Strangers from delhi to dublin
Are swept off their feet
As they kiss on the street
And the waters like champaigne are bubbling
The wind may blow
Come rain, come snow
Today's for you and me
I gave my heart to you my love
You gave your heart to me

8. _ Where That Love's Been Gone
Sometimes i wonder who's making love to you now
Now that it's been so long
Yes sometimes i wonder who's making love to you now
Now that it's been so long
Well i don't know where or when you found out
Where that love's been gone
Remember that winter we went walking in the snow
Now it's been and gone
Yes, i remember the winter we went walking in the snow
Snow that's been and gone
And right across the country still i've got to go
Wherever that love's been gone
But any old way there's a smile on my face
There's a smile that i just can't hide
Though i'm missing you now like i never knew how
I couldn't forget you if i tried
Don't it make you wonder, but i wouldn't worry no more
Standing by the side of the road
Oh don't it make you wonder, but i wouldn't worry no more
Just standing by the side of the road
Into the night you just pick up and go
You'll see where the love's been gone
But any old way there's a smile on my face
Ther's a smile that i just couldn't hide
Thoush i'm missing you now like i never knew how
I couldn't forget you if i tried
I couldn't forget you
I couldn't forget you
I couldn't forget you if i tried
I couldn't forget you
I couldn't forget you
I couldn't forget you if i tried

9. _ Four O'clock In The Morning
4 o'clock in the morning
When the ambulance arrived
4 o'clock in the morning
When the ambulance arrived
The blue lights were flashing
As they lay my baby down inside
They took her to the hospital
In the darkest hour of the night
They took her to the hospital
In the darkest hour of the night
It was silent as the grave
As my baby lay beneath the light
They turned on the gas and cut her open
She didn't feel no pain
They turned on the gas and cut her open
She didn't feel no more pain
Daylight was breaking
And down came the rain
Down came the rain
Down came the rain
Down came the rain
Down came the rain

10. _ When The Ship Comes In
Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
'fore the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in
Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat that drifts on to the shore line
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're still dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeel
And know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in
Then they'll raise their hands
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
And like pharaoh's tribe
They'll be drownded in the tide
And like goliath they'll be conquered

11. _ The Sun And The Moon
They snakes they can crawl
And the cheetahs they can bawl
And their ghosts can wait for the hereafter
But if you are so proud
As to say that's not allowed
We will get sick and choke ourselves with laughter
And the girlfriends that you knew
To whom you promised to be true
We'll have their sisters
Hanging from the rafters
And every dirty shade will rise rotting from the grave
Tomorrow will be just like the day after
And this bitter desert wind
Will come ripping through your skin
And everything that's calm will turn to madness
And all of your fake tears
Will come whirling down the years
And what was kind and warm will come to sadness
And the sun and the moon
Will come begging at your door
The stars will turn to rust
And drop from the skies
And everybody will soon be asking you for more
And everybody will be telling lies
And the girlfriends that you knew
To whom you promised to be true
We'll have their sisters
Hanging from the rafters
And every dirty shade will rise rotting from the grave
Tomorrow will be just like the day after

12. _ Love You 'till The End
I just want to see you
When you're all alone
I just want to catch you if i can
I just want to be there
When the morning light explodes
On your face it radiates
I can't escape
I love you 'till the end
I just want to tell you nothing
You don't want to hear
All i want is for you to say
Why don't you just take me
Where i've never been before
I know you want to hear me
Catch my breath
I love you 'till the end
I just want to be there
When we're caught in the rain
I just want to see you laugh not cry
I just want to feel you
When the night puts on its cloak
I'm lost for words don't tell me
All i can say
I love you 'till the end

13. _ Living In A World Without Her
My girl could break my heart
And tear my soul apart, but i
Couldn't see myself living in a world
Without her
She's a tear, she's a scream
Takes me high, but my worst dream
Could i survive living in a world
Without her
As my mother said open the door
I didn't want to be that boy
All my friends told me i'd pull through
But all that's said and all that's done
Won't persuade me that i'm wrong
I know i'd die living in a world
Without her
All my hopes and all my dreams
Rest with her, or so it seems
I never want to see the world
Without her
She's a saint, she's a clown
Picks me up when i'm down
There'd be so much missing from the world
Without her
Tangled up in falling vines
She took my hand, i know she's mine
Pickin' up the pieces of the past
Well, i awoke before the dawn
Dreamed we'd fought and she had gone
Now i know how it feels
Without her
An empty club, when we first met
Sharing our last cigarette
How could i have lived in a world
Without her
The sweetest girl i ever had
She's the best, she must be mad
There's no way i would live in a world
Without her
We walked four miles to get back home
Through the crowds we walked alone
She told me all about her last stand
The sun came up and lit the scene
She looked so fine, so i see
There's no way i'm living in a world
Without her
