unknown

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am home again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am whole again

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am young again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am fun again

However far away, i will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, i will always love you,
I will always love you

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am free again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am clean again

However far away, i will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, i will always love you,
I will always love you

It's a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in its tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving uncle sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose

It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away

It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in its plight
'cause i need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin' really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him pop crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of tanger sound

It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today

It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night

This old man
He played one
He played knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played two
He played knick knack on my shoe
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone

This old man
He played three
He played knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack, paddywhack
This old man

This old man
He played four
He played knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played ten
He played knick knack on my shin
On my shin

If you don't
Treat me better
Baby i'11 just run away
Baby i don't
Know what drives you
To play these
Silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger
Than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid
To let it show


Chorus:
When will you wake up
I want you
More than the stars
And the sun
But i can take
Only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
I gotta
Brand new dress babe
Could it
Make you wanna try
I guess
I didn't want
To notice
The stars gone
From your eyes
C'mon baby
I'm much
Stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid
To let it show


Repeat chorus


We could buy
An airplane
Build a home
In the sand
You could tell
Your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin' down
And as your leavin'
Wait


Chorus:
When will you wake up
I want you
More than the stars
And the sun
But i can take
Only so much
Cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Is it cool baby


If you don't
Treat me better
Baby i'11 just
Run away
If you don't
Tredt me
One day
You'll wake up cold
Then you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
You'll love me

i want to live
I want to give
I want to live
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold
It’s these expressions i never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
I said i am getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

baby your da-da loves you (hey)
And i’ma always be here for you no matter what happens
You’re all i got in this world
I would never give you up for nothin
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me
I love you
C’mon hai-hai, we goin to the beach
Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat
Oh where’s mama? she’s takin a little nap in the trunk
Oh that smell da-da musta runned over a skunk
Now i know what you’re thinkin - it’s kind of late to go swimmin
But you know your mama, she’s one of those type of women
That do crazy things, and if she don’t get her way, she’ll throw a fit
Don’t play with da-da’s toy knife, honey, let go of it
And don’t look so upset, why you actin bashful?
Don’t you wanna help da-da build a sand castle?
And mama said she wants to show how far she can float
And don’t worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It’s just a little scratch - it don’t hurt, her was eatin
Dinner while you were sweepin and spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama’s messy isn’t she? we’ll let her wash off in the water
And me and you can pway by ourselves, can’t we?
Just the two of us..
Just the two of us..
Just the two of us..
See honey.. there’s a place called heaven and a place called hell
A place called prison and a place called jail
And da-da’s probably on his way to all of em except one
Cause mama’s got a new husband and a stepson
And you don’t want a brother do ya?
Maybe when you’re old enough to understand a little better
I’ll explain it to ya
But for now we’ll just say mama was real real bad
She was bein mean to dad and made him real real mad
But i still feel sad that i put her on time-out
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin to climb out
I told you it’s okay hai-hai, wanna ba-ba?
Take a night-night? nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca? da-da change your dia-dee
Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty
Your dad’ll wake her up as soon as we get to the water
Ninety-seven bonnie and clyde, me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Wake up sweepy head we’re here, before we pway
We’re gonna take mama for a wittle walk along the pier
Baby, don’t cry honey, don’t get the wrong idea
Mama’s too sweepy to hear you screamin in her ear
That’s why you can’t get her to wake, but don’t worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake
Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock?
We’ll tie it to her footsie then we’ll roll her off the dock
Ready now, here we go, on the count of free..
One.. two.. free.. wheeeeee!
There goes mama, spwashin in the water
No more fightin wit dad, no more restraining order

No more step-da-da, no more brother
Blow her kisses bye-bye, tell mama you love her (mommy!)
Now we’ll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk
But first, just help dad with two more things out the trunk
Just the two of us

Ev'rybody wants something from you
Ev'rybody wants a piece of mary
Lush valley all dressed in green,
Just ripe for the picking

God, i want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink mustang
When i think of what we've done to you,
Oh, mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips,
But butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh, mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding. mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up and i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said. mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name

Ev'rybody wants you sweetheart
Ev'rybody got a dream of glory
Las vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry,
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What'll we do when our babies scream,
Fill their mouths with some acid rain?

Oh, mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding. mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up and i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said. mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name

Oh, butterflies don't belong in nets

Master shaman, i have come with my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an englishman. i'm my mother, i'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade

But all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And i can even see sweet marianne

Sister janet, you have come from the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none. call the wanderer, he has gone
All those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wings
A wing can cover all sorts of things

Hey, yes this again, well i think i could try this once again

But all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And i can even see sweet marianne

And you know you're gonna
Lie to you
In your own way

Know know too well
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Never was one
For a prissy girl
Coquette
Call in for
An ambulance
Reach high
Doesn't
Mean she's
Holy
Just means
She's got a cellular handy
Almost
Brave
Almost
Pregnant
Almost in love "vanilla"

And you know you're
Gonna lie to you
In your own way

It's four in the morning, the end of december
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New york is cold, but i like where i'm living
There's music on clinton street all through the evening

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of record

Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without lili marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife

Well i see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well i see jane's awake

She sends her regards

And what can i tell you my brother, my killer
What can i possibly say?
I guess that i miss you, i guess i forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way

If you ever come by here, for jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so i never tried

And jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

Sincerely, l. cohen

Daisy dead petals that is her name.
She's in the phone booth phase, so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray,
She can turn it out with a heel on she just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say, knowing they're around the corner.
Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.

Daisy dead petals, that is her name.
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well,
These dead petals, honey, brought me here.
She said "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

Dancing on a dime, hearing mother cry,
Maybe she's around the corner

Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
On my back with, on my back with some dirty dishes

Falling down, falling down, all over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down

And since we're down might as well stay,
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray.
She's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town.
Knowing what they'll say, knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but

"these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
She said "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

Sarah sylvia cynthia stout
Would not take the garbage out
She'd scour the pots and scrap the pans
Candy the yams and spice the hams
And though her daddy would scream and shout
She simply would not take the garbage out
And so it pulled up to the ceilings
Coffee grounds, potato peelings
Brown bananas, rottens peas
Chunks of sour cottage cheese
It filled the can it covered the floor
It cracked the window and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones
Drippy ends of ice cream cones
Prunes pits, peach pits, orange peel
Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal
Pizza crusts and withered greens
Soggy beans and tangerines
Crusts of black burned butter toast
Grisly bits of beefy roast
The garbage rolled on down the hall
It raised the roof, it broke the wall
Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs
Glops of gooey bubble gum
Cellophane from green bologna
Rubbery blubbery macaroni
Peanut butter caked and dry
Curdled milk and crusts of pie
Moldy melons, dried up mustard
Egg shells mixed with lemon custard
Cold french fries and rancid meat
Yellow lumps of cream-of-wheat
At last the garbage reached so high
That finally it touched the sky
All the neighbors moved away
And none of her friends would come to play
And finally sarah sylvia cynthia stout
Said "okay, i'll take the garbage out"
But then of course it was too late
The garbage reached across the state
From new york to the golden gate
And there in the garbage she did hate
Poor sarah met an awful fate
That i cannot right now relate
For the hour is much to late
The children remember sarah stout
And always take the yummy garbage out

"i'm tori amos and i hope that was a good nighty-night"

Hey kid, i've got a ride for you.
They say, your brain is a comic book tatoo
And you'll never be anything.
What will you do with your life, oh,
That's all you hear from noon till night.

Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby, where the sea is the sky.
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight.
Flying dutchman are you out there?
Flying dutchman are you out there, flying dutchman?

Straight suits, they don't understand.
She tried that one with the alligator boots but the other side drew her in.
Heart falling fast when she left, even the milky way was dressed in black.

Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby, where the sea is the sky.
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight.
Flying dutchman are you out there?
Flying dutchman are you out there, flying dutchman?

'cause they can't see what you're born to be.
They can see me.
They can't be
What they can't believe.
They can see what you see.

They keep the boys spinning in their own little world.
Tie him up so he won't say a word.
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world.
So afraid he'll be what they never where.

Cheese and onion sandwiches on derby chinaware
Fiddles and jigs and woogie my dog and tv havin' a swear
Takin' my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
Licorice pipes and baggy suits, glen hoddle scorin' a goal
Catchin' a pike and ridin' my bike on wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
Yes... that's what i like, boy
That's what i like

Pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William brookes and comical looks, pianos, trams and trains
Colds and cockles and thunderstorms, place on the wireless and now
Grandfather clocks and coke and brandy, fountain pens and beano and dandy
That's what i like, i said
Hey, that's what i like

Little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and bernard faire
The sound of a banjo, barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
Burnt toast, a beer from the wood and old jerry thomas' teeth
Jerry and chuck and cannon and ball, a banjo pickin' bill keith
And old bank loads, wood burnin' stoves and shirley maclaine
And petticoat lane

That's what i like, i said
That's what i like, yes boy
Yes, that's just, ohh

Bubble and squeak and jumble sales, little richard and jerry lee
Bonfire night and south and that's paddlin' in the sea
Polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
Violins and old coach inns and colored elastic bands
Tea in the mornin' and winter beginnin' and fishin' lines
And frogs and spurs are winning
Yes that's what i like
Hey, that's what i like

A day at the races, cover the bases, goin' out hoppin in kent
A new pair of braces, little kids faces sleeping under the tent
And wagons, chickens and pickin' blackberries and swallows and sledges
And devon and derries
And haddock and trotters and horses and knickers and swatters and stickers
And banjo, and kippers
Yeah, that's what i like, boy
That's what i like

words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms
All i ever wanted
All i ever needed
Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
They can only do harm

Turning back ten thousand years,
It's all a blur where the taxi's go
Monster man a willing friend,
Lucy serves the melon cold

Violent and delicious souls,
Four red trucks dressed illegally,
Mother knows how the bugle blows
Gonna get caught, gonna get caught,
Gonna get caught in her rug, babe

This is not a conclusion,
No revolution,
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

Boat made out of paper float,
Dreams made up for the banana king, darling
Crumbs you have lapped freely of,
Devious we all have been

Violent and delicious souls
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion,
No revolution,
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

take your mind back
I don’t know when
Sometime when it always seemed
To be just us and them
Girls that wore pink
And boys that wore blue
Boys that always grew up better men
Than me and you
What’s a man now, what’s a man mean
Is he rough or is he rugged
Is he cultural and clean
Now it’s all change, it’s got to change more
We think it’s getting better
But nobody’s really sure
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
See the nice boys, dancing in pairs
Golden earring, golden tan
Blow-wave in the hair
Sure they’re all straight, straight as a line
All the gays are macho
Can’t you see their leather shine
You don’t want to sound dumb, don’t want to offend
So don’t call me a faggot
Not unless you are a friend
Then if you’re tall, handsome, and strong
You can wear the uniform and i could play along
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
Time to get scared, time to change plan
Don’t know how to treat a lady
Don’t know how to be a man
Time to admit what you call defeat
‘cause there’s women running past you now
And you just drag your feet
Man makes a gun, man goes to war
Man can kill and man can drink
And man can take a whore
Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds
And if there’s war between the sexes
Then there’ll be no people left
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are

Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
Marching to the beat of a hot roof over me
Hey, ho, here we go, we're off to work again
Bells are ringing, we are singing
Joyous in our industry

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Start the engine
Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

It's the perfect job

Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that i do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night i wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

When you said you'd marry me
I thought you meant you'd wanted too
Then i thought you'd like to
Maybe on a tuesday

All the dead are coming
I heard they'll be dressing
Something kind of maggoty
Rolling with a froppity

In the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
And not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

The three men i admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died

They were singing "bye bye miss american pie"
I drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing "this'll be the day that i die, this'll be the day that i die"

And the three men i admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died

Poppa i know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe i'll call him jethro
Maybe i'll grow up to be
As wise, good as he
And maybe i'll come back after you're long gone

Poppa i'm sure
The worms have eaten you now
And jethro's been on some frenchy's plate long ago
Now i'm pretty sure that i listen to every word
'cause i still hear you telling me still

"slap them boys when they're naughty
Make 'em crawl, make you haughty"

Make you strong, little girl
You paint them toes the reddish colour
And you know one day
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree

Now i'm pretty sure
That i think you'd come and visit
And talk sometimes kind of like gidget
A funny little chance like an indian brave
He said "we all grew fat when the white man came"
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
Make 'em grow tall
But have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
And you fry them 'taters
And you make them with ladies, hands
I know you're my pappy's baby

"lie, lie, lies ev'rywhere," said the father to the son
Your peppermint breath, gonna choke 'em to death,
Daddy watch your little black sheep run
He's got a knives in his back ev'ry time he opens up
You say "he gotta be strong if he wanna be a man"
Mister, i don't know how you can have

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Land, land of liberty
We're run by a constipated man
When you live in the past
You refuse to see when your
Daughter comes home nine months pregnant
With five billion points of light
Gonna shine 'em on the face of your friends
They got the earth in a sling
They got the world on her knees
They even got your zipper between their teeth

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
You say, you say that you have 'em i say that you're a liar
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on dream
Your house is on fire
Come along now

Well, well summer wind been catching up with me
"elephant mind, missy you don't have
You're forgettin' to fly
Darlin when you sleep"
I got a hazy lazy susan

Takin' turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes runnin' through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death
I said
She said
Death will be their acquisition
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me
Fall into me the sky’s crimson tears
Abolish the rules
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now i shall reign in blood

Ride on, ride on friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and saturdays, did eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew, and he knew where the pillow goes.

Ride on, ride on friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on you know where she's gone.
Buttercups and fishing flies the biggest thickest ever sky.
I know they know something.
I know.

Ride on, ride on now friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on you know where she's gone.

Little green men do o.k.,
It's the fairies' revenge they say,
And gumdrops and saturdays, did eric call by the way?

Mm, la la, ride on, ride on, ride on

Purple sunset
Orange moon
I'm alone again
Without you
I knew someone
Had to lose


Kiss goodbye
Go back to your separate life
That you have with her
Ashes blow
In the windy skye
Take my heart
As you go


Chorus:
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
To be your
Fire on the side
Taste my tears
See how the burn
Baby it burns
To be your
Fire on the side


Purple sunset
Orange moon
How can the
Music play
When the only band
Is made of gold
Wrapped around
Your hand
That i
Used to hold
Against my chest
Every night
But i still
Can hope
You will see
I'm your home
Repeat chorus


I knew someone
Had to lose
Kiss goodbye
Go back to your separate life
That you have with her
Take my heart
As you go


Repeat chorus

I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes

See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind i see
You know me, you know me like the nightingale
"oh fair maiden i see you standing there"
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me

If the sun refused to shine
I don't how
I don't mind

If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be
It aint me

Got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you

If a 6 turned out to be 9
I don't know how
I don't mind

If the hippies cut off their hair
I don't care
I don't care

I've got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you

If the sun refused to shine...

What child is this...?

Sirens wake me up
Wake me up
With a cry
Things we do
For attention...
Just a little
Reminder dear
I am still alive


So confused
I almost threw
It all away
For you
You took me higher
And you dropped
Me lower
Than i've ever been
Before


Chorus:
If i have a heart attack
At 23
I'm loving you too much
If i have a heart attack
At 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If i have a heart attack
At 23


All my friends
We waste so
Much love
On our men
Why can't i
Be forgiving
While he's been out
A-messin'
With his argentine baby


Repeat chorus


I must be dreaming
We were together
In a
Land of scarlet ribbon
That tied you to me darlin'
Roll roll roll roll on
But you know i'm never
Satisfied
With all the good things
In my life
I thought i needed you
To be strong
I'll still miss you
When i'm gone


Repeat chorus

One with her hands open
"don't be afraid" she said
"no one will know it, just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back



This old man
Traditional

This house is like russia with eyes cold and grey,
You got me moving in a circle, i dyed my hair red today.

I just want a little passion to hold me in the dark,
I know i got some magic buried deep in my heart, yeah
But my priest says, "you ain't saving no souls."
My father says, "you ain't makin' any money."
My doctor says, "you just took it to the limit,"
And here i stand with this sword in my hand

You can say it one more time, what you don't like.
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while i take to the sky, take to the sky.

My heart is like the ocean it gets in the way,
So close to touching freedom then i hear the guards call my name.
And my priest says, "you ain't saving no souls."
My father says, "you ain't makin' any money."
My doctor says, "you just took it to the limit,"
And here i stand with this sword in my hand

You can say it one more time, what you don't like.
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while i take to the sky, take to the sky.

If you don't like me just a little, well, why do you hang around?
If you don't like me just a little, well, why do you hang around?
If you don't like me just a little, well, why do you take it, take it, take it?

This house is like russia
You can say it one more time, you can say it one more time,
You can say it one more time, what you don't like.
Let me hear it one more time
Then have a seat while i take to the sky, take to the sky,
Take to the sky, take to the sky, take to the sky.

one day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She’d run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair
Just beware
When you’re there
Strange little girl
She didn’t know how to live in a town that was rough
It didn’t take long before she knew she had enough
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she’s feeling old
And she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
You really should
You really should be going
I know you wish you were
I know you wish you were
One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she’s feeling old
Cuz she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl

Thoughts right now
I picked up a magazine
Ohh, here we go
Fifteen hundred years
Fifteen hundred years right here
Burning witches, burning books
Burning babies and their looks
Yes, indeed
Burning everything that's sacred in my jeans

Thoughts right now
She's been everybody else's girl
Thoughts right now, now
Thoughts right now
Right now
Am i here?
Am i here?
Never here
I'm never here
I'm never here
I'm never here
Never a bird
Or a flower in the tree
Or the pain of the respect thereof
Yes, indeed

Thoughts right now
What will become of me?
Become of her?
Become of we, babe yeah?

Just before our love got lost you said
"i am as constant as the northern star"
And i said, "constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me i'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cotton coaster
In the blue t.v. screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
With your face sketched on it twice

In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, i could drink a case of you, darling
And i would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh i am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And i'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
"love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well i could drink a case of you, darling
And i would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well i could drink a case of you, darling
And i would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

You said you wanted
Safer ground
But you got caught up
In the river
I was there to
Save you boy
But you'd rather drown


You said you were
Unhappy
But that was alright
Better than not knowin'
What's on
The other side


And you know
I was always there
For you
And you know
I always believed
In you
I guess that wasn't
Enough


Chorus:
On the boundary
On the boundary baby
On the boundary
Don't you need my love
You won't even let me
Keep you from fallin'
From the boundary
That divides our love


I gave you
A kingdom
That you could be
Lord in
And we both know
You loved the
Taste of my world
But you can back
To your corner
Where you trip
Over your lines
Look left, look right
No room to hide


Repeat chorus


I guess that wasn't enough
I guess i wasn't enough


Repeat chorus

Every night i sit alone
Waiting to see you at my door
Arriving at the usual time
Waiting to share your love with mine

Well i've waited a lifetime just to find you
But you have to believe it's success that were seeking
Then in a few months you can come home to me

It's the job that you need
It's the school that you have to complete
You just have to go on with your days

But i'll be waiting right here as i am
But before you leave make me a promise i'll need you to keep

Remember me while you're away
Think of me when you're alone
In everything that i do
I do it in two's
'cause i'll always be walking with you
'cause i'll always be walking with you (side by side)
Always be walking with you (in my mind)

Always be walking with you (always be walking)
With you

Facing another empty evening
Lying alone here in my bed
You keep my mind from my job
But you lead my life with love

You hold my chin up high
You're love shines through my eyes
Your soul walks by my side
Keeping this body alive

As i run to catch the bus
I get a strange look or two
'cause instead of just buying a ticket for me
I also buy a ticket for you
Now some people say i'm crazy
But it's the only way not to be blue
In everything that i do
I do it in twos
'cause i'll always be walking with you
Always be (x4)
I'll always be walking with you

Remember me while you're away
Think of me when you're alone
In everything that i do
I do it in two's
'cause i'll always be walking with you
'cause i'll always be walking with you (side by side)
Always be walking with you (in my mind)

Stinky soul, get a little lost in my own,
Hey general, need a little love in that hole of yours.
One ways, now, and saturdays and our kittens all wrapped in cement.
From cradle to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as i can and
Is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried

Daddy dear, if i can kill one man why not two?
Well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes and pom poms and cherry blondes
And their kittens still wrapped in cement.
From god's saviors to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as i can and
Is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried.

Got a pretty, pretty garden, pretty garden, yes.
Got me a pretty, pretty garden, a pretty garden, yes.
Got me a pretty, pretty garden, a pretty garden

In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire 'till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

Let's go

Well you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're at the end
Then you love a little wild one
But she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow

You go back, jack
You go back
Do it again
Wheel's turnin' round
And round
You go back jack
Do it again

Now your swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
Then you find you're back in vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

You go back, jack
Do it again
Wheel turning round and round
Back you go
Come on to me
Wheel turning round
Beautifully
Wheel turning round

jodie wears a hat although it hasn’t rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
She reads simone de beauvoir in her american circumstance
She’s less than sure if her heart has come to stay in san jose
And her neverborn child still haunts her now
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She’s obvious despite herself
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
She says all she needs is therapy
All you need is love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps ‘cause there are always needles in the hay
She says that a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
As she reads simone de beauvoir in her american circumstance
Her heart, heart’s like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says ooh, it’s so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment

Count those rattlesnakes
She says a girl needs a gun these days
On account of all the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now i sure is found
Was blind but now i see
'twas grace mother that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did ever your grace appear
The hour i first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as his sun
I know that grace sweet grace has appeared
And now she'll bring me home

Some people sing about deutsch girls
And girls from california
They might be alright for a night alright
But don't trust them i warn ya
I've been to the east and i've been out west
And i've been the world around
But i ain't seen no one anywhere near
A girl from london town

Give me a london girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a london girl every time
I want a london girl

Marry a girl from london town
You know that you can trust her
She'll darn your socks and wash your
Yes everytime your trousers won't bust 'em ,yes
And they're all good cooks
And they've got good looks
And they won't let you down
Said i gotta find a london girl
If i ever get a half a chance

Oh give me a london girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a london girl every time
I want a london girl

London girls are the best in the world
There ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from london town
You're better off doin' without her
They don't create when you come home late
And you're crawlin' up the passage floor
They won't mock about you
When you're going out with
The geezer from the house next door

Oh give me a london girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a london girl babe
Every little time
Your legs turn to jelly
And i got a little smelly
But i know it's just what i want

'cause i need a london girl, oh, every time
They've always got a pound to buy their round
When it's their turn at the bar

In my head i found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't, oh, dare, now.
But i find that i have, now, more
Than i ever wanted too

So maybe thomas jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
You there, you, all here in my head and
Running around and calling me come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands i can't so...

I, i held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even thomas jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor,
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south all
Fav'rites of mine you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear makes it all...
Do you know, hey, do you know, what this is doing to me?
Here in my head

You went away
Why did you
Leave me
You know
I beleived you
Nothing explained
Where are the answers
I know i need you
Tell me
Is your city
Paved with gold


Is there hunger
Do your people grow old
Do your governments
Have secrets
That they've sold


Chorus:
Every night i wait
Take me away
To your
Floating city
By my window at night
I see the lights
To your
Floating city
Come and take me away
I want to play
In your
Floating city yeah
Floating city yeah


T.v. turns off
Any of us that
Say that we've
Seen you
Tell me are we
The only planet
That can't
Conceive you


Will we be
Like atlantis
Long ago
So assured
That we're advanced
With what we know
That our spirit
Never had time
To grow


Repeat chorus


Is it weak
To look out for
Saviors out in space
Little earth
She tries so hard
To change our ways
Sometimes she
Must get sick
Of this place


Repeat chorus
