unknown

I've had money, and i've lost it
Seen an ocean, nearly crossed it
I have been to another world and i have returned
And for every high joy a hard lesson learnt

But when love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown

I've had power, i've used and abused it
Tasted glory, i have wooed and refused it
Tried to live in a sacred way, i did and i did not
And for everything i've lost, there's been something else i've got

But when love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown

I've been up and i've been down
Sometimes almost level with the ground
Once in every hundred years i can
Still remember who i am

Been in danger, i tried to face it
I saw a mirage, and for seven years i chased it
I'm not through with my changes,
I've got a long way still to run
I'm going to play this show even if nobody comes

But when love comes tumbling down
When love comes tumbling down
When love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown

On a day of days
I stood and gazed
Over the western sea
I was completely dazed
Wide-mouthed and amazed
When a mermaid called to me

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo
My sunny sailor boy

Like a man in a dream
For an age it seemed
I stood as still as a stone
While the creature sang
And her melody rang
Like a memory calling me home

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo
My sunny sailor boy

(ray charles)

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be a part of me, the heart of me
Be mine

Come live with me and be my love
Let our dreams combine
Be wife to me, be life to me
Be mine

With these hands i will build a roof
To shield your head
And with these hands i will carve the wood
For our baby's bed

Come live with me and be my love
And let me love you all the time
Be mate to me, be fate to me
Be mine

I will try to do my best for you
I swear, i promise you
I will cry for you, i will comfort you
My whole life through

Come live with me and be my love
Share my bread and wine
Be a part of me, be the heart of me
Be mine

King electric, motor on
The king is dead, the king is gone
The king is in us, let his song
Play on!

King electric, motor on

I was cutting a dash down bleecker street
The sewer was a-staiming underneath my feet
I looked down macdougal 'bout half a block
Said to myself "that's where you come from"
I got a vision right there and then in my mind's eye
You in your finery, strolling by
Hands on your hip and your guitar case
Sound of the future blowing in your face

King electric, motor on
The king is dead, the king is gone
The king is in us, let his song
Play on!

I stepped down the stairs, ventured through the door
Sound nearly knocked me clean to singapore
Black man child waltzing 'cross the stage
Squeezing guitar, singing purple haze

King electric, motor on
The king is dead, the king is gone
The king is in us, let his song
Play on!

I remember back home, many moons ago
I had a front-room band, you should have heard us blow
We were rough as a dog, loud as sin
With a lead guitar player, name of davy flynn
He could play with his teeth, upside of his head
He could make that thing ring like a-raising that dead
You were his idol, you were his man
I didn't get it then davy, now i understand

King electric, motor on
The king is dead, the king is gone
The king is in us, let his song
Play on!

'cos you were just to early, i was just too late
You were just too fine, you were just too great
You were just too real, you were just too true
This world wasn't beautiful enough for you

King electric, motor on
The king is dead, the king is gone
The king is in us, let his song
Play on!

Keep your electric eye on me, babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah

Keep your electric eye on me, babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah

(rodney crowell)

I don't drink as much as i used to
'cos lately that just ain't my style.
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought'a
They pass quickly like when i was a child.

And lately i've learnt how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life i have found

It keeps my feet on the ground

Now the midsummer days ain't so heady
They just drift like a breeze through my mind.
And nothing appears in a hurry
As if to make up for some old long-lost time

And lately i've learnt how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the friends i have found

They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground

Blues are falling like showers of rain, but i don’t feel like crying
Death himself is abroad this day, but i don’t feel like dying

I learnt how to sustain myself
I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

The enemy has the biggest tanks, and he sure knows how to use them
Our best, and only, chance, is to thoroughly confuse him

I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

Her tongue was like a scythe and all her bones were haunted
A scapegoat for her life was all she ever wanted

I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

Sir bedivere slept in a field, his armour strewn around him
Curled foetus-like beneath his shield, still weeping when we found him

I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

I teetered on the edge of doom, degenerate and broken
She washed the blood out of my wounds, and spoke the great unspoken

I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

His monstrous ego whipped and driven raged beneath his clothing
The complement he paid was given not with grace but loathing

I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

Deliverance is at the gate with arms and gold in store
He apologises for being late, but i don’t need him anymore

I learnt how to sustain myself
I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

Scoured and stripped of all pretence, shorn of all illusion
I offer nothing in my defence, you can draw your own conclusions

I learnt how to sustain myself in storms

Willows were swaying
The water was rippling
The froggies were singing
Along with the laughing at the bank

We have the moon to thank
For this lovely scene
We might never have seen
If it hadn't have been for the moon

Why, look at that moon
Away up high, seeing everything
That goes by
Why, look at that moon
Why, why, why, look at the moon
Why, why, why, look at the moon

Sitting in the desert
Beneath a lonesome sky
Cool, my oh my, it would be

If it never been above
That fateful little boy
That one who has beheld true love through history

Why must it start?
Why must lovers part?
Why does the cheatin' go on?
Why have hearts turned to stone?

Why, look at that moon
Away up high, seeing everything
That goes by
Why, look at that moon
Why, why, why, look at the moon
Why, why, why, look at the moon

Why, look at that moon
Ain't it grand!
Why, look at that moon
Helps me understand
Why, look at that moon
Inspirator of many a dream
Why, look at that moon

Well, i'm easy to love
But i'm harder to hold
Down through this earth
My story is told
I'm a wheeling and a-winding down
Every road and every town
I'm tumbling through the years
Higher bound!

I've as many eyes
As ever were
And though i'm older
Than the world
I am the very youngest thing
That ever did breath upon a pearl
I am a coat of many colours
With the coronation stone and the crown
I'm tumbling through the years
Higher bound!

I'm the song of the river
Speeding unceasing to the sea
I'm alive!
I'm in love!
Each and every time
There's some for me
My head is in the stars
My feet are on the ground
I'm tumbling through the years
Higher bound!

I filled the hall
At bru na boine
I saw the rose
Of mystery
I've been a fish
Upon a coin
Complete
I'll never be...
I'll meet you on the mountain
When the mountain time comes around
I'm tumbling through the years
Higher bound!
I'm dancing through the years
Higher bound!

Well it's too hot for the baker man
Too hot for the laundry man
Too hot for the fireman
But it's alright
It ain't too hot for clean head
He's gonna blow all night

Well it's too hot for the bogey man
Too hot for the gardai man
Too hot for the candy man
But it's alright
It ain't too hot for clean head
He's gonna blow all night

Well it's too hot for spiderman
Too hot for superman
Too hot for joker man
But it's alright, yes it's alright
It ain't too hot for clean head
He's gonna blow all night

Well it's too hot for the galway man
Too hot for the mayo man
Too hot for the kerry man
But it's alright, yes it's alright
It ain't too hot for clean head
He's gonna blow all night

Well it's too hot for the fiddle man
Too hot for the drummer man
Too hot for the guitar man
But it's alright, yes it's alright
It ain't too hot for clean head
He's gonna blow all night

Bleecker street, bleecker street
Sure like to find you underneath my feet
You make me feel kinda cool and complete
My down home one and only bleecker street

They say broadway can't be beat
And fifth avenue is pretty neat
But none of them big boys can compete
With my down home one and only bleecker street

I could be
In hawaii
Chasing waves
Admiring the sky
London, paris, amsterdam...
But i'm just ecstatic
Where i am

Life is sexy, life is sweet
In manhattan's ninety-six degree heat
Just pounding tar to my favourite beat
My down home one and only bleecker street

(walt whitman, 1852)

Allons! the road is before us
It is safe, i have tried it
My own feet have tried it well
Be not detained

Let the paper remain on the desk unwritten
And the book on the shelf unopened
Let the tools remain in the workshop
Let the money remain unearned
Let the school stand
Mind not the cry of the teacher

Let the preacher preach in his pulpit
Let the lawyer plead in his court
And let the judge expound the law...

...let them!

Comerado! i give you my hand
I give you my love more precious than money
I give you myself before preaching and law

Will you give me yourself?
Will you come travel with me?
Will you give me yourself? hey!
Will you come travel with me?

Will we stick be each other?
As long as we live?
As long as we live?

You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

But you'll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But it's not just a day again until you touched it

Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

But you'll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But it's not just a day again until you touched it

Don't put that song in your album
You don't need no sax in the band
Don't put that song in your album
You don't need no sax in the band
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

But you'll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But it's not just a day again until you touched it

Wake up you gotta make a change
You gotta dress like one of the levellers
Don't put that song in your album
You don't need no sax in the band
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

Such a sad procession, winding down the lane
And what a strange impression is branded on my brain
A band was playing -- endless, mindless
It was like a hooligan's lament
It was dumb, but it was timeless
I still don't know what it meant

And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all i am protected
Grace is effected
Over me

Behold the lights of london!
The skipper said that his hands shook
His aura eaten by his jealously and all the drugs he took
He said "this is the real world buddy!
Toughen up your ass, or it'll break."
I said "i'm not your buddy, buddy,
And your real world is a fake."

(here comes the peace campaigner
She says the end justifies her means
Her words so full of reason fell like napalm on my dreams
I said "peace is not a word, never!"
She calls me traitor, i just grin
I said "you've gotta live it every moment,
Or else you're just sucking wind")

And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all i am protected
Grace is effected
Over me

(the dj casts his malediction
As the wedding guests appear
It was as cruel as any fiction
I still carry the souvenir)
/
(the dj took his vengeance
As the wedding guests arrived
There was malice in his handshake
Quicksand in his eyes)
As he slunk across the courtyard
From far off i heard a horn
Somewhere in the bleak mid-distance
Something beautiful is born

And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all i am protected
Grace is effected
Over me

I stumbled down a street of shadows
A black alleluia split the night
(prostitutes / anarchists) and priests were playing stripjack
Underneath the cruel lamplight
I came upon a weeping soldier
He said "i'm all washed up now, huh"
But when i glanced across his shoulder
He held a royal flush

And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all i am protected
Grace is effected
Over me

I'm still here, i'm still wheeling
I'm who i thought i was, or just about
I'll be walking down this boulevard
Until my legs give out
Thoughts like storms and seas are raging
I know it is a matter of degree
But it's not the world outside that's changing
It's me!

And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all i am protected
Grace is effected
Over me
Over me
Over me
Over me
Over me
Over me
Over me
Grace is effected
Over me

I'm working out my karma
I'm gonna get myself in line
I'm working out my karma
(i'm gonna get myself in line/
Ain't wasting no more time)
I'm gonna pay back all my debts
Set up a brand new state of mind
I'm clearing out my system
No more drugs and self-abuse
I'm clearing out my system
No more drugs and self-abuse
(i'm gonna find the magic in me/
I'm gonna locate the magic inside of me)
Spread the good news!

(well, i'm dressing like a rockstar
And i feel like a king
Ain't got no hits but i
Sure got a whole ot of swing
I'm alive on the inside
And that's the first thing

Now you can cheat me out of my money
If that's what you really wanna do
Yeah, you can cheat me out of my money, honey
And buy yourself a brand new boogaloo
I should hope you think it's funny when it
Come back around on you!)

I can hear the music changing
I can feel the river rolling on
I can hear the music changing
(i can feel the river rolling on/
Rhyme, rhythm, groove, tune and song)

I can (see/feel) the moment flashin' before my face
Then it's gone

I'm working out my karma
I'm gonna get myself in line
I'm working out my karma
(i'm gonna get myself in line - this time/
Ain't wasting no more time)
I'm gonna pay back all my debts
Set up a brand new state of mind - waaah!

Exploitation is alive on the streets
I'll probably just stay in my room
Everything i ever believed in hangs
Limp like a burst balloon
Christmas is coming
Man is getting fat
Me - i'm getting sucked in -
Thought i was smarter than that

One side is dirty red
One side is freezing blue
You stand in the middle
'cos you've nothing better to do
Give you a choice
Even though i know
>you rarely think
Start making decisions
Start to sink

When you've grown up afraid
With a built in fear
Of authoritive parents
And your pre-planned career
And your neck is stretched
In a very civilised noose
Give you a choice
Let it die or let is loose

Christmas is coming
Man is getting fat
Please put in a penny
In society's hat

Christmas is coming
Man is getting fat
Please put in a penny
In society's hat

The nectar flowed for seven days
Seven sweet days
As if a cloak of wild and deep emotion
Urgent, thrilling, enveloped and intoxicated me
And in the centre a huge, pumping, ball of fire
My heart

Love has changed my life
Love has changed my life

Nights i lay awake, pinned and thrilled, to my bed
In sanctuary i sat wrapped
Super-alive, listening
At work i thrived
Tired but not tired.
Alert, compassionate, driven
And love, the driver

Love has changed my life
Love has changed my life

Yes, love was the lord of all-ness
And love aflame the nectar
And love unconditional the trigger, the initiator
The nectar flowed for seven days
Then river-like sped underground again
Leaving me the same, but not the same
Empty, but not empty
Unchanged, but changed

Love has changed my life
Love has changed my life
Love has changed my life!
Love has changed my life!
Yes...

Who's that man with the potion
Dressed in velvet and gloves
Causing grief and commotion
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout love

What on earth is he thinking
Where on earth has he been
Why do i feel like i'm sinking
What does it mean
What does it mean


Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
We'll come to no harm, come to no harm

I once had a coat i was proud of
I wore that coat a long time
Just when the music got loudest
I left it behind
Left it behind

I could pretend that i'm dreaming
But one thing i just can't see
Who on earth am i meaning
When i say me
When i say me

Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
We'll come to no harm, come to no harm

What's around the corner
What's around the bend

What's around the corner
What's around the bend

What's around the corner
What's around the bend

What's around the corner
What's around the bend

Questions upon questions upon questions
Crowding round the side of my bed
These are just a few of the best ones
Adrift in my head,
Adrift in my head

Who's driving this airplane?
Did i live hard enough
Is it gonna rain
And how well have i loved?
How well have a i loved?

Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
And should this ground start to crumble
We'll come to no harm, come to no harm
Lean on me if you stumble
'neath the bright shining stars
And though the whole world may crumble
We know who we are, we know who we are

What shall i give you to make you take down your dress
What shall i give you to make you take down your dress
Will you show me where the party is
And we'll put you to some quiet caravan
And as sure as my name's billy sparks i'm your man
Singing doodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo

Where will i find you when siesta comes
Tell me where will i find you when siesta comes
Hasta manana by the sycamore tree
Well you just sat someplace else looking for me
And when i find you singing doodoo doo doodoo
Dodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo

And we're gonna dance electric fantastic
We're gonna dance electric fantastic
Yeah, go on and tell everybody that you know
Brush your hair up in a big red bow
And all we need
Is a bottle and a broomstick, yeah!
Singing doodoo doo doodoo
Doodoo doo doodoo
Singing doodoo doo doodoo
Singing doodoo doo doodoo

Hey!

Well i dreamed i saw you sailing in upon a sleek white schooner
You were slipping over shallow water
You were coming into harbour, you were coming into harbour
With the wind in all your sails

You were carrying a cargo that was richer than riches
More gold than gold and much more real than real
New born babe in your arms and his cool blue eyes gazed up
Yes his cool eyes gazed upon a fresh world, one yet to be made

I was standing on the shoreline looking out over the sea
And i saw your white sail appearing on the horizon
I was standing on the shoreline just looking out over the sea
And i saw your white sail appearing on the horizon
You were coming into harbour, you were coming into harbour
In the bright light, the bright light, longer than the 20th century

My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
Yes my love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land

None of this moves me,
I should be weeping but it only hurts when i yawn
I let it blow through me, and it's gone!
I'm dressed like a scarecrow
Stripped of all my power, as if some judge in judgement said
"off with his great coat, and his head!"

My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land

Meaningless movies
On the screen behind the band that's blowing flowing shapes
Half of their music is on tape
My mentor and champion is busy tilting at the windows of his stately home
The daemon he's grappling
Is his own!

My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
Yes my love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land

His letter lies open
His accusations flow like poison from his every word
My heart would be broken, but for her
The fag-end of winter
I'm in shock! i'm on the ropes! i don't know what's become!
She plucks the splinter from my thumb

My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
Yes my love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land

In the weary land!
My rock in a weary land
My rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
In a weary land
Hey!
A rock in a weary land

A rock in a weary land
A rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land
In a weary land!

Wake lady wake
The hills are in flood.
And the road we must take
Is a river of blood.
And the wind in the wires
And your heart like a cup
And i'm down in the war
And you've got to get up

For mercy's sake
Wake lady wake

Dress lady dress
Put on your (jacket/skull-cap) and boots.
For the (thief/priest) has confessed
And the chase is afoot.
And the hounds are behind
Gunmen around every tree
And if it's all in our minds
Well, where else would it be

I suggest
You dress lady, dress

This is the day, this is the day this is,
This is the day, this is, this is the day the day
This is the day

This is the day, this is the day this is,
This is the day the day, this is the day the day
This is the day

Our kingdom will crash
Like a sad piece of trash

(swim lady swim
The whole river across
Though our chances are slim
And we're totally lost!
/
Swim lady swim
Lady, don't refuse
Though our chances are slim
And we're totally confused!)
There are clues to be found
Oh, and i'd ask my peers
But they're all dumbing down
Until this bad weather clears

We're out on a limb
So swim lady, swim

This is the day, this is the day the day
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day
This is the day, this is the day the day
This is the day, this is the day the day
This is the day

The kingdom will crash
Like an old piece of trash

I first played the pyramid stage
Back in 1984
(karl and kev, barv on bass
/
Karl on keys, kev on drums)
And anto man made four

I stayed up all night wide awake
Wearing a mile-wide grin
Diggin' the transient city
And all that grooved within

Played a storm in '86
Felt like we were the kings
Fiddle bows and mandolins
Sure broke a lot of strings

We played "purple rain", "medicine bow"
And "the healing has begun"
I climbed the tor at the break of dawn
Just to salute the sun

And i'm goin' back to glasters walkin' tall
Yes i'm goin' back to glasters walkin' tall, walkin' tall
I'm goin' back to glasters, i can't go any faster
I'm goin' back to glasters, that's all

The next time was '89
With the raggle-taggle band
We were jammin' jigs and reels
In a backstage transit van

I wore a wedding suit
I sang "when you go away"
Sharon shannon's accordion
Was the soundtrack of the day

And i'm goin' back to glasters walkin' tall
Yes i'm goin' back to glasters walkin' tall, walkin' tall
I'm goin' back to glasters, i can't go any faster
I'm goin' back to glasters, that's all

Five years later i returned
A different man of course
I guested with the boy mcnabb
And the mighty crazy horse

I cranked up the red les paul
And i let the bastard rip
I'm coming back this year for sure,
I might even be hip

And i'm goin' back to glasters walkin' tall
Yes i'm goin' back to glasters walkin' tall, walkin' tall
I'm goin' back to glasters, i can't go any faster
I'm goin' back to glasters, that's all

Sea yes n how many years can some people exist before
They're allowed to be free? yes n how many times can a man
Turn his head pretending he just didnt see?


The answer my friend is blowing in the wind the answer is
Blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Said burlington bertie to accrington stanley "i do not like that andy pandy,
He fancies himself as a regular dandy - let's take him down a stitch"

But unbeknown to accrington stanley and burlington bertie namby pamby was
Sucking a stick of cinnamon candy and watching from a ditch.

Said namby pamby to andy pandy "let us tell mahatma ghandhi that burlington
Bertie and accrington stanley are up to dirty deeds."

Said mahatma ghandhi to namby pamby "you and i and andy pandy must enlist the
Aid of para handy - he's the fella we need."

So away they rode - andy pandy, mahatma ghandhi and namby pamby - to the home
Of para handy beyond the western wall.

Said para handy to mahatma ghandhi "i'll summon the brothers handy andy,
Dandy jim and tony pandy - experts one and all"

Said tony pandy to para handy "me and dandy jim and handy andy will bring you
The head of accrington stanley if it be your wish."

Said mahatma ghandhi to tony pandy, dandy jim and handy andy "brin me the
Head of accrinton stanley on a silver dish."

So handy andy and tony pandy, dandy jim and para handy caught the villinous
Accrington stanley in his pants and vest.

Said accrington stanley "you've caught me red-handed, i'm trounced and i'm
Trumped, i'm stumped and i'm stranded. but before you go and do something
Outlandish grant me one request."

Said para handy to accrington stanley "make it quick and make it handy. in 30
Seconds handy andy will remove your wicked head."

Said accrington stanley "before you count 30 i'll swear on the grave of my
Great-aunt gerdie. the man you seek is burlington bertie - remove his
Instead!"

But para handy and tony pandy, dandy jim and handy andy, andy pandy and
Mahatma ghandhi (not to mention namby pamby) paid no attention to accrington
Stanley and beheaded him - dead!

Something has been sleeping in me, weeping in me, creeping in me
Something has been crying in me, sighing in me, dying in me
In the righting of this wrong, i may have to fight a long awaited duel
I'm calling back my spirit from you, i’m calling back what is my own.

Something has been burning in me, churning in me, turning in me
Something has been weeping in me, creeping in me, awaking in me
And in the execution of this task, i may come to see my enemy's mask
Slip and fall

I'm calling back my spirit from you, i'm calling back what my own
I'm calling back, i'm calling back,
I'm calling back my spirit from you, i'm calling back what is my own

The storm of your outrage seethes and whips around my brittle bones
Anger and violence erupt from your lips and your cover is blown!
I seek the sound of your name
I stand in my own footsteps and i claim my power

I'm calling back my spirit from you, i'm calling back what is my own
I'm calling back, i'm calling back, i'm calling back, i’m calling back,
I'm calling back my spirit from you now!, i'm calling back what is my own

I was talking to barry who says there's a change in the air
He's just found a magic kite that can fly him anywhere
He leans on his window as the trash daytime radio plays
He's got all the shelter he needs, and heaven gets closer everyday

I got a postcard from mandy; the farmers are bringing in the hay
Our friends will be home in the morning, and heaven gets closer... everyday

We don't think too much about a crisis in the west
Because it couldn't happen here again and anyway; all men are equally blessed
They say a war is coming but it all seems so far away
Because where we live the sun shines, and heaven gets closer everyday

I got a postcard from mandy; the farmers are bringing in the hay
Our friends will be home in the morning, and heaven gets closer... everyday

I got a letter from london; tanks are rolling over the hay
Soldiers will be here in the morning, and heaven gets closer...

Big lover
When i feel your love flow through me
Big lover
When i hear you whisper to me
Big lover
When i feel you

You were like every love i've known
Spun into one - my mind is blown
You were like all my burnt down dreams redeemed
You know what i mean

Big lover
When i feel your love flow through
Big lover
When i hear your heart speak truly
Big lover!

You were a mystery revealed
A treasure trove too long concealed
You were like all my torn down dreams redeemed
You know what i mean

Big lover
When i feel your love
Big lover
When i feel your love
Big lover
When i feel your love flow through me
Big lover
When i hear you whisper to me
Big lover!

You were like earth and fire to me
You were j-o-y m-a-g-i-c
You were like all my ripped down dreams redeemed
You know what i mean

Big lover
When i feel your love
Big lover
When i feel your love
Big lover
When i feel your love

I'm alive!
Yes, i'm alive!
I'm truly alive
Alive!

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I wake up every morning
Hold my hands and pray for rain
I've got a head full of ideas
Driving me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well, i ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more
He hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you and your friends
If you're having a good time
He blames you every time you slam the door
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well, i ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more
He stubs his cigarette out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window is made out of bricks
And the national guard are standing at his door
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well, i ain't gonna work for maggie's mother no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's mother no more
She talks to all the servants about man and god and law
And everybody swears she's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight, but claim's she's twenty-four
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

I try so hard to be just who i am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
They say "see, while you're playing i get bored" ??
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

They call him crazy and they call him fool
They greet his name with ridicule
He says things that they don't like
But don't dismiss mr. icke

Let them curse and let them blow
They do not know what they do not know
They truth is like a lightening strike
But don't dismiss mr. icke

Before the protests fled your throat
Take a look at the book he wrote
It won't take up much of your time
It could change your life or even your mind
His taste in tracksuits may be bland
And the wisdom may outweigh the man
And his predictions may be shite
But don't dismiss mr. icke

I'm not saying he's the king
And he himself claims no such thing
He said we all are points of light
And you know what, i think he's right
So friends and neighbours far and near
Don't be swayed by lies and smears
Let them call him what they like
But don't dismiss mr. icke

Don't dismiss mr. icke

Buckets of rain, buckets of tears
Got all them buckets coming out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love honey baby i can stand

I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear,
If you want me, honey baby,
I'll be here

Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips.
I like the cool way you look at me,
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery

Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but i know what i like.
I like the way you love me strong and slow,
I'm takin' you with me, honey baby
When i go

Life is sad
Life is a bust
All you can do is do what you must.
You do what you must do and you do it well,
I do it for you, honey baby,
Can't you tell?

I'm learning to love him
To love and forgive
I'm learning to trust him
To let the man live
I'm learning to see him
To see who he is
I'm learning to love
The beauty he is

I'm learning to love him
To love and forgive
I'm learning to trust him
To let the man live
I'm learning to hold
His life in my hands
I'm learning to love
Me just as i am

Well i've had enough of the ways of men
Said i've had enough of the ways of men
Yes, i've had enough of the ways of men
His sordid games rape my brain

Well, i've had enough of his tomfoolery and shame
Yes, i've had enough of his tomfoolery and his shame
Oooh, i've had just enough of his tom-tom foolery and his shame
His sordid games rape my brain

As the wind sweeps across generations up and down the sweep of history
He leaves his tracks in all places, leaves his stain in all beds
He builds schools and pleasures, all designed to prevent illumination
All of his games rape my brain

He put his flag in the desert, but i need water
He put his flag in the desert, but i need water
He put his flag in the desert, but i need water
He put his flag in the desert, but i need water, water, water

Long hast thou dwelt in darkness
Quit the night, and seek the day

I've been in the storm for you
When my horn for you
Was reborn for you
I handled a thorn for you
I was torn for you
I was born for you
And here you go leaving me
Decieving me
And its greiving me

I've been in the storm for you
I've performed you you
I was spawned for you
So why can't you love
So why can't you love

I've changed what i wear for you
And my hair for you
I've said prayers for you
I gave up my share for you
I went bare for you
And i cared for you
And here you go blaming me
Shaming me
Defaming me

I've been in the storm for you
I was shorn for you
And reborn for you
So why can't you love
So why can't you love
So why can't you love
And why don't you know
Aww, don't you know
What will happen
What will happen if you do

I was on grand street when i heard a woman cry
Turned to see a young boy with his head held high
He was screaming abuse at everything and nothing
Wasn't more than seventeen years old
Waving a pistol, blew himself to heaven
I guess he just exploded out of control

Minding my own business
Playing social snakes and ladders
There's a knock on my door
The military mad-hatter
He says someone pressed a button
Only got about 8 minutes
To get myself and my family into some underground hole
Where we can sit and play twenty questions
Whilst our leaders invent answers
It seems the whole world just exploded out of control!

You sit on your side
And i'll sit on mine
Used to have such grand plans
Now we can't afford the time
It may seem pretty arrogant
But words may be heart fire

Deep inside i'm freezing cold
Sorry that i beat you
Sorry that i screamed
For a moment there i really lost control

You give me everything
You give me your best
You take two steps forward
And put me to the test
You talk to your mother
Who give you good advice
You send me cards with your best wishes
And i'm sure that's very nice but

That's not enough
Oh no, that's not enough
You're not enough and that's
Not enough for me

I don't want to be cruel
I wouldn't want to be unkind
But how do i tell you that when you
Speak to me you just waste your time
I'll never carry
Someone who doesn't care
You give me everything you think you can but
Your heart isn't really there

And that's not enough
Oh no, that's not enough
You're not enough and that's
Not enough for me

And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech
His ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach
Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should
Half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke
And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke
A robin on the wing, could be heard to sing, the strangest thing

Grandma, we are jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash
From it emerged a man, in trainers and moustache
Down he laid his load, upon the heated road
Then the road did part, and the tar did melt
He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt
Like a piece of string, then he began to sing, like a pearly king

Grandma, we are jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea
There was montgomery clift, jonah, the whale and me
As the sun it set, montgomery placed his bet
Then the whale did yawn, and fell asleep in four
From dusk till dawn, you shoul have heard him snore
From tierra-del-fuego, to the alaskan snows... there she blows!

Grandma, we are jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
My dear old grandma, we are jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
Grandma
We are jonah, rolling along in the teeth of a whale

Martin decent came to play, came to play, came to play
On a bright and winter's day
Turned his coat in the morning

Martin decent spoke out loud, spoke out loud,
Told his tale to the listening cloud
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Ate his greens and his rhubard raw
Chewed his food with a vigorous jaw
Wrote down he all he heard and saw

Martin decent sang along, sang along, sang along
Leant his voice to the children's song
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Told a few little lily-white lies
Hid the truth behind his eyes
Nobody knew he was in disguise

Martin decent danced a lot, danced a lot, danced a lot
Struck the pose for a photograph
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Martin decent went back home, went back home, went back home
Slept like a log in a bed of his own
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Yes he did!
Hey! fuck him! roll him in manure!

The father who sired her handed her over
The crack-handed orchestra played
The bride and the groom stood shoulder-to-shoulder
As the ill-starred wedding was made

She lifted her veil as the groom gently kissed her
And all did appear to be well
But the limousine driver heard every harsh whisper
As they drove to the country hotel

In the grand hotel ballroom the guests were assembling
The champagne like tapwater flowed
The men wearing top hats, and fop coats and top coats
The women in bustles and bows
The bride’s jealous sister sat alone in her place
And sneered as the couple came in
The maitre-de coughed and said “please take your places,
The banquet is about to begin?
The street doors burst open and an army of footman
Swept in bearing salvers and trays
Fiddlers and clowns went from table to table
Amid black smoke and cigarette haze
Noone saw the best man as he secretly winked
At the bride’s jealous sister it seemed
And then cried out “waiter, bring me more drink
And more marilyn monroe ice-cream?
When the wine had been poured and the tables were cleared
The toasts and the speeches began
The bride and groom cut the cake, everyone cheered!
Then all eyes fell on the best man.
He climbed off his chair, and he licked his cracked lips
And declared in a voice cold and dry
“she tricked and hijacked him, with guilt she trapped him
This day is a sham and a lie?
Her father leapt up with a curse and a roar
And slew the best man in the head
The groom cried “blaggard!?and with a flash of his sword
His father-in-law fell down dead
The bride ran screaming in floods of bright tears
And collapsed at the foot of the stairs
Where her sister was waiting with scissors and shears
And hacked off every inch of her hair.

Up on the roof sat seven fat crows, the moon rose low in the west.
The groom was arrested still in his wedding clothes
And hanged in his pants and his vest
The bald-headed bride bought a ticket to spain
And eloped with a wig-makers son
While her jealous mad sister, riven with shame
Became a nun!

I want to star in your life
And on the stage of your dreams
In your beginning and your end
And every place between
To open the door of your secret soul
Steal in and stay forever
The streets of you heart are laid with gold
And we were born to be together

Let's build a ship and set sail
Through seas of love we'll go
To unknown lands and hidden bays
And when there's no wind i'll blow
And when the waves get high and the broadsides fly
I will be your port in stormy weather
I'll rock your bow and show you how
We were born to be together

Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
Look away. we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Now the missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away. we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Well a white man loved an indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Oh shenandoah, i love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her i'd cross the water.
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

For seven long years i courted sally
Look away, you rollin' river
Seven more years i longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear,
I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rollin' river
Shenandoah, i will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Hey johnny, where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
Just one word come straight from your heart
Makes me feel so glad!
Death and disease walz together like starlets in this place
I sure would like to see your honest face

Hey eddie, where are you now when i miss you?
Now when i miss you like hell?
If you were here i know you'd make me
Believe again in myself!
You don't owe me nothing
I'm not calling you away
So please don't feel accused when i say

Where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
My heads almost exploding
And the tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do i really believe i need you?
But i do!

Hey you, where are you now when i dream about you
In nightmares every night?
You were on a big wheel high above me
Almost out of my sight
And just as i wake you shout down something that sounds like
"why are you not free?"
But by the time i'm dressed
You're just a memory

Where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
When my heads almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do i really believe i need you?
But i do!

Hey mama, where are you now i hurt for you?
I hurt for you so hard?
If you heard this song, i know you you'd come straight for me
You'd come somehow, no matter how far
There's a hundred things that i want to say to you
And they come rushing through my head
But when we meet like we always do, we leave the best things unsaid
And my god! isn't that lonely?
That's lonely as hell
To know the truth always but to be too scared to tell

Where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
When my hearts almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do i really believe i need you?
But i do!
But i do!

I know she's in the building
I can feel it in my guts
Somewhere within these four walls
Is the woman that i love
The sweetest wild adventure
Hangs within my grasp
She's eternal, she's alive
And i've found her at last

I've left her notes and poems
Pinned them on the board
I listen for each step or voice
That passes by my door
I can feel the raw excitement
Bursting in my chest
I can feel my longing hands
Upon her firm and supple breast

Shifting within my thoughts dance
Inevitably to you, love
I'm enslaved and i'm entranced
By all you are and do, love

It'll soon be time for dinner
I know just where's she'll be
But i'll wait here for maybe she
Will come and call on me

She knows the room by number
She know who waits unseen
King pan, inflamed with love and joy
For her, his elfin queen

I saw her today at the reception
She had a glass of wine in her hand
She is practiced in the art of deception
And her feet ne'er touched the ground
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want!
You can't always get what you want!
You can't always get what you want!

But if you try some time
You just might find
You know what you need!

Well, i went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of the views
I was standing there next to mr. jagger
The man did a-look pretty confused
He said "you can't always get what you want!"
No, you can't always get what you want!
Indeed, you can't always get what you want!

But if you try some time
You just might find
You get what you need!

Calling down the lion of love
Use me
Calling down the lion of love
Use me

So much to say
So much to time and space
I said it load and clear
Plot and make my case
I put it into rhythm
Sculpt it into rhyme
Wrap my secrets in a melody
Fire it at the fortress of your mind
And if after all i sing
You don't believe a thing
That's alright
We got all night

Calling down the lion of love
Use me
Calling down the lion of love
Use me

Use my heart
Use my hands
Use me any way you can
Calling down the lion of love

So much trouble in the world
So much pain
I've heard it all before
I'll hear it again
But i'm trying to imagine
A world transformed by love
Open up my mind's eye
And let the pictures flood
Imagine that it's real
What does it look like, how does it feel
Hold the vision
Bring it down, spread it around

Calling down the lion of love
Use me
Calling down the lion of love
Use me

Use my vision
Use my voice
I've had a vision
And i've made my choice

Calling down the lion of love

Your face is like
The moment when the sexist hero traps
The slippy villain with the weasel face
You don't have to speak
Your expression is the truth
That your words don't say
And the truth won't go away
In many dark corners i have thought myself about this
Did you do it out of malice
Did you fall or were you kissed.

Could you ask your friend in the cowboy jacket
And those boots up to his knee
Would he shut his mouth for me
I've heard just enough
All i want to hear about pipes and drums
And how little time it takes the clutz to come
The golden gift of silence
Is i don't have to hear you speak
So would you take him out yourself
Before i put you both back in the street

Now the story shifts
And we see a young man
Standing in the wings
Too old before his time
Collecting grey hairs
He's proud and he's scared and he says "i don't care"
How can he be so blind
So how did you corrupt him
You must have got him where it counts
Now he's so numb he's ready to freeze
And you're ready for the monkey house

Ready for the monkey house
The monkey house but you won't take me

Well the bricks are piled on main street
And the sun is turning brown
Anybody with any sense
Has already left town
The beast is hollering lonesome
And the ghost of rimbaud rides
I've got a drunken head full of reasons why
I've got a broken heart inside

I can hear a dog someplace barking
I hear the wind begin to moan
At night i walk these rain splattered streets
Dead on my feet and all alone
My dreams begin to crumble
I can feel the downward slide
I've got a drunken head full of reasons why
I've got a broken heart inside

I have seen all of my dreams
Slipping away like sand
Love has grown wings and left me
Flown right out of my hand
Now i'm weary and bruised from singing the blues
And my fortunes are down
My face and my walk are known
In every bar and dive in town
You can ask me where am i going
But i'll let your question ride
I've got a drunken head full of reasons why
I've got a broken heart inside

I've got a handful of mist
I've got a barrel of it
What do i do with it
Now i've got no place to run
And i've got no place to hide
All my trials, all my cares
All my worries, all my pride
All my sins, all my troubles
They're being washed in by the tide
And i wish, how i wish
That i could get on that horse
And ride and ride, ride and ride, ride and ride
Onto the other side
Ride on to the other side
Ride on to the other side
Ride on to the other side
Ride on to the other side, the other side, the other side...

Now i've got a pain in my soul
And it's fifteen miles wide
Now i've got a pain in my soul
And it's fifteen miles wide
Now i've got a pain in my soul
And it's fifteen miles wide
I've got a drunken head full of reasons why
I've got a broken heart inside
