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

Mother cluny
Rock me in your womb
Mother cluny
Rock me in your womb
Take the fear
And pain i feel
Turn 'em into
Tears that heal
Mother cluny
Rock me in your womb

Mother cluny
Suckle me at your breat
Mother cluny
Suckle me at your breat
Tend the seed
That love has sown
In the temple of my
Flesh and bone
Mother cluny
Suckle me at your breast

Mother cluny
Hold me in your fire
Mother cluny
Hold me in your fire
That i may shed
This dead old skin
That i may find
The fire within
Mother cluny
Hold me in your fire

Mother cluny
Clothe and send me forth
Mother cluny
Clothe and send me forth
To be present
At the birth
Of the new heaven
Of the new earth
Mother cluny
Clothe and send me...
Clothe and send me forth

(patti smith)

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he

Here i go and i don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, who is chosen by she

Here i go and i don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
Could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin

She is recreation
She, intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she ...

Here i go and i don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til i lose my sense of gravity...

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin

Is she conscious
Is she really wide awake?
Is she conscious
Of her beaatiful mistake?
Is she conscious
As she moves among the crowd?

She's got thw world upon a piece of string
She's got thw world upon a piece of string
It's so
He was ugly and she was beautiful
He was ugly and she was so

Is she conscious
Is she asleep or just afloat?
Is she conscious
Of the letter that she wrote?
Is she conscious
Of the music in her ears?

The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
It's so
He was ugly and she was beautiful
He was ugly and she was so

Is she conscious
As she moves across the room?
Is she conscious
Of the weeping of the moon?
Is she conscious
As she leaves the door ajar?
Is she conscious
As she gets into the car?

I don't even wanna say her name
I don't even wanna say her name
That's all
I wanna sing it from the toppest tower
I wanna sing it from the toppest tower
That's all
The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
It's so
He was ugly and she was beautiful
He was ugly and she was so

Is she conscious
Of the chauffeur as he drives?
Is she conscious
As the ambulance arrives?

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

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

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

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

Then the sea and the wind
And the shores did spin
And though my resistance was strong
All the stars in space
Filled the mermaid's face
As she captured my will with her song

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

Somehow i spoke --
The enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
Like a dream she was gone
All that remained was a song
Borne on the ebbing tide

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

All the boys love carrie
But carrie doesn't love the boys
She drinks and she talks
She takes cigarettes from strangers
Anything else she's an x-rated baby
Out of bounds

All the boys love carrie!
They watch her over cider and whiskey
Take her outside, show her their cars, invite her thru to the cocktail bar
But carrie's shy, she don't talk much
She keeps her secrets locked inside
Out of bounds

I saw her today in her green coat
I know she's going... uptown downtown!
She's gotta run 'cause it's getting late
What can she do when her world blows open in her face?

All the boys love carrie but
Carrie doesn't love the boys

I am walking in the last rays of the setting sun.
Whistling a hangman's tune with head held high swinging my gun.
I say this little boy is angry, i say this little boy is mad!
This little boy comes to destroy, stone-eyed, cold-faced in swathes of vengeance clad.

And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows.

In my wake are seven men who tried to steal my soul.
In my belly six wild wolves curse and howl from their foul hole.
I say no earthly will may stop me, i say no earthly will may try.
No earthly will may halt the spill of blood from wounds and tears from craving eyes.

And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows.

Below me burn the city lights like fires of pearls and jewels.
I'm climbling down the city walls, unseen, unfussed - the sentries must be fools.
I say all pleasantries are over, i say all pleasantries are past.
My enemies, you pimps and thieves, prepare to meet your nemesis at last.

And the black cock crows. and the dead wind blows.

Oh father, what happened to you
Did you have more urgent affairs to attend to?
Did business press, or did you just get bored
Thrown half your life through a one way door?
Sometimes it scares me, look in the mirror
And see myself growing up looking like you
No i don't have much time to waste getting worried
I've got more urgent affairs of my own to attend to

Father, what happened to you
Haven't seen you in a whole decade
Did you ever learn, did you ever grow up
Are you still as weak, do i make you feel afraid?
Do you tell your friends there's a son somewhere?
Did you ever wonder how he looks?
Did anyone ever give you my number?
Say here's two pence 'cos my phone's off the hook

At long weary last
This game is over
The sins of the past
Fled from my shoulder

The sleep that i need
Is all that i ask
In thought and in deed
I have burnt the mask

Here i am
Here i am

Enchantment is broken
I merged with the crowd
Oaths have been spoken
Inside and out loud
Emerging from under
Motions of god
In tears and in wonder
I ventured abroad

Here i am
Here i am

Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me

Encountered a loathly hag
Blood on the snow
She said "i've a burden to drag
And leagues to go"
I left her down by the seaside
In someone's hall
By dawn's empty light i cried
To no-one at all

Here i am
Here i am

Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me

I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder

Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me
Harder for me

We are going to paris
In a ship with red sails
As the storm gathers slowly
We eat fishheads and snails

The mate jumps up, throws down a line
To a man overboard for the ninetieth time
And then he says with a wink
"sometimes i think
I've been doing this forever!"

We are going to paris
In a ship called the ??
There are signs in the sky at night
That the captain says he's seen

I keep books under my pillow
And read them before i sleep
Strange places i go to,
Strange companies i keep

We are going to paris
We are one and thirty strong
I can feel it in the air
We'll be there before long

The wind has come
Like a man insane, insane
We are going to paris
It rains and it rains

We are going to paris
In a ship with red sails
We are going to paris
In a ship with red sails

This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
Because i'm a seaweed shovelling man

Green weed, red weed, still alive and dead weed
Lying in a pile on the shore
Brown weed, pink weed, smelly kind of stink weed
Who on earth could ask for more!

This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
Because i'm a seaweed shovelling man

Dry weed, wet weed, ain't-been-troubled-yet weed
Glinting in the morning sun
Thin weed, thick weed, slimy kind of slick weed
Every bucket weighs a ton!

This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
Because i'm a seaweed shovelling
Seaweed shovelling
Seaweed shovelling
Seaweed shovelling man!

(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?

Call her ruth
'cos she knows the price
Call her sandy
'cos heart is like ice
You can call her
Whatever you wish
Nothing can change
The person she is

Call her maria
Her real name's eve
Try not to slam the door
Or you'll wake her as you leave
You can tell by
The pictures on her wall
That she never really
Knew you at all

Everywhere i look
It's just looking into waste
I can't see any courage
Or hope in your face
You say there's no point
Of searching anymore
'cos whatever i find
I'll have found before

I must be looking
For something fantastic!
And all this reality
It's such a test
You take what you're given
And i'll take my time
You in your small corner
And i in mine

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

(words by bob dylan and jacques levy)

I married isis on the fifth day of may,
But i could not hold on to her very long.
So i cut off my hair and i rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where i could not go wrong.

I came to a high place of darkness and light.
The dividing line ran through the center of town.
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right,
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

A man in the corner approached me for a match.
I knew right away he was not ordinary.
He said, "are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
I said, "i got no money." he said, "that ain't necessary."

We set out that night for the cold in the north.
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word.
I said, "where are we goin'?" he said we'd be back by the fourth.
I said, "that's the best news that i've ever heard."

I was thinkin' about turquoise, i was thinkin' about gold,
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace.
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,
I was thinkin' about isis, how she thought i was so reckless.

How she told me that one day we would meet up again,
And things would be different the next time we wed,
If i only could hang on and just be her friend.
I still can't remember all the best things she said.

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice.
He said, "there's a body i'm tryin' to find.
If i carry it out it'll bring a good price."
'twas then that i knew what he had on his mind.

The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous.
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.
When he died i was hopin' that it wasn't contagious,
But i made up my mind that i had to go on.

I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty.
There was no jewels, no nothin', i felt i'd been had.
When i saw that my partner was just bein' friendly,
When i took up his offer i must-a been mad.

I picked up his body and i dragged him inside,
Threw him down in the hole and i put back the cover.
I said a quick prayer but i felt dead inside
Then i rode back to find isis just to tell her i love her, to tell her

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
I came in from the east with the sun in my eyes.
I cursed her one time then i rode on ahead.

She said, "where ya been?" i said, "no place special."
She said, "you look different." i said, "well, not quite."
She said, "you been gone." i said, "that's only natural."
She said, "you gonna stay?" i said, "yeah, i jes might."

Isis, oh, isis, you mystical child.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of may in the drizzlin' rain.

I was talking to john
He was dressed all in black
He was learning, he said
To never look back
Bells in his ears
He turned and disappeared
But i've known him for years
Where'd he go?
A head full of snow
On the late train to heaven

Augustus my friend
Dressed in velvet and scarf
He's purging himself
He's refusing to laugh
Pale as the moon
His words fill the room
He'll be travelling soon
Where's he bound?
Higher ground
On the late train to heaven

I whispered to you now
But i didn't mean a word
It was just a small madness
Pretend you never heard
Pretend you're here with larry
Pretend you're here with lee
Pretend you're with anyone but me
I didn't come with you, i'm gone
And my seat's waiting on
The late train
Forever on the late
The late train
I'm ready for the late
The late train to heaven

On the late train to heaven

I'm sitting in my bedroom
Overlooking findhorn bay
Cluny hill ion the distance
Summer on the way
Blue skies and sailing boats
Like a picture in a book
I can't believe i got here
Or how long it took

Living one step at a time
Putting one foot in front of the other
It sure feels right
Healing on my mind
Been a long way
Been a long way to the light

I'd made it to manhattan
Built myself a nest
I meant to get right back to doing
Exactly what i do best:
Pluggin in an electric guitar,
Leading a band
Well, if you want to give god a laugh
- tell him your plans!

Summer in the city
Wilting in the heat
Buzzing up and down to bearsville
And back to hudson street
I learned meditation
And how to visualise -
Just breathing, being still
Never felt more alive!

Living one step at a time...

I spent the fall in transit
Circling the moon
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
Like a fiddle without a tune
I found what i was searching for
In mrs caddy's book
I had to go there straightaway
Have myself a look

I flew back to scotland
Anticipation in my bones
The old country welcoming me
Like a prodigal coming home
I knelt and kissed the tarmac
In the wild atlantic rain
Felt the fiery gaelic blood
Rising in my veins

Living one step at a time...

I spent the night in glasgow
Flew to inverness
I found the place and at the first
I was not impressed
Nobody said hello
The faces left me cold
Back then how was i to know
All that would unfold?

I entered thje sanctuary
- heard the vioce of a girl
Sending out a circle of light
Clear across the world
I shuddered in the power
Like a seedling in a storm
I've been travelling to this place
Since the moment i was born

Flew back to new york city
Singing the big city blues
The sand of findhorn bay
Still clingin to my shoes
I tried to re-start my life
But the life i knew was gone
I had to let go everything
But that's another song!

Living one step at a time...

So i'm sitting in my bedroom
Overlooking findhorn bay
Cluny hill in the distance
Summer on the way
I'm watching sailing boats
Bobbing to and fro
- time to hit the road
The only way i know...

Living one step at a time...

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

Once upon a time, a time, a time, a time, a time, a time
I lived here
Once upon a time, a time, a time, a time, a time, a time
I lived here

I lay my head on a pillow of sky
And i kiss the wind
And heard it sigh

Once upon a time
I lived here
In the fever of a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream
I loved here
In the fever of a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream
I loved here

Fell, heart and body
Soul and mind
I left all over worlds
Behind
In the fever of a dream
I loved here

The hour has come, its come, its come, its come, its come, its come, its come, its come
To leave here
The hour has come, its come, its come, its come, its come, its come, its come, its come
To leave here

I'll take whatever
Is mine to take
Free my heart before
It breaks
The hour has come
To leave here

Space is always getting bigger
Time just keeps moving on
Take your finger off the trigger
You ain't gonna shoot that gun

Roads are always leading somewhere
Dreams are always being dreamed
That black cloud on the horizon
Its not as big as it seems

No, you may believe it or not, but hear what i say
This old boat of ours is bound for better days

Fools will always have an answer
Cheats will always tell a lie
They don't have to take us over
Just let them pass you by

Luck is always being lucky
Fate is always being fate
There's really no need to hurry
You aint gonna be late

No, you may believe it or not, but hear what i say
This old boat of ours is bound for better days

Age is always getting older
Youth is always being born
Come on climb in here beside me
And keep your lover warm

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

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

Where'd you get that jacket
Did it fall, off a lorry
Where'd you get those lines
On your forehead, was it worry
I remember you ??? 1976
Did you get a good part exchange
On security for kicks

Where did you get that family?
Where did you get that mortgage?
Where did you get that family?
Man you're barely out of teenage
Man you're barely out of teenage

Don't cock up or cop out
Because love shouldn't bring a man to ruin
You're walking living breathing proof
That you don't know what you're doing
Fun is fun when you're in control
But there's a line that has to be drawn
Don't play with guns until you learn how to fire
The safety catch may not be on

Where did you get that family?
Where did you get that mortgage?
Where did you get that family?
Man you're barely out of teenage
Man you're barely out of teenage

Close your eyes
Shut the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your baby tonight

Dim the lights
Roll down the shades
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Oh that mocking bird is gonna sail away, and we're gonna forget it
The big bad moon is gonna shine like a spoon, we're gonna let it
You won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring your bottle over hrere
I'll be your baby tonight

Oh that mocking bird is gonna sail away, and we're gonna forget it
The big bad moon is gonna shine like a spoon, we're gonna let it
You won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring your bottle over hrere
Because i'll be your baby tonight

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

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

Ruthy is an artist, she's got oceans in her head
Doctor says you really shouldn't leave her alone
She throws her books -- all scattered cross the room
Graham greene sprawled out beside the rolling stones
Daddy doesn't understand but goes on paying the bills
Mother clears up after baby girl's spills
One break in communication and those clouds begin to fly
While ruthy goes on bleeding when is she going to realize
Only heroes live forever...

Tony is a dancer he's got to be one step ahead
Watch him show the new moves to the girls he meets
He bumps for the crowd at his apartment window
Rolls his hands in perfect time with his feet
Opens his shirt right to the waist
Throws on sun tan oil like wallpaper paste
Carries a copy of "the carpetbaggers" he thinks that makes him cool
Looks you straight in the mouth as he tells you you're just another fool
But only heroes live forever...

Me i'm an actor stickpaint on my face
Alibis in my pocket and costumes in my case
I use emotions i make them my tools
For i know well that rock'n'roll is in the hands of fools
And only heroes live forever...

Excuse me, mister powers
What do we plan to do today?
Yes excuse me, mister powers
What do we plan to do today?

We're going to 43rd street sonny
To hear them blues boys play

Yes, it's after midnight mister powers
Where are we gonna boogaloo?

We're going to kingston mines boy
To boogaloo with sugarblue

Oh, gracious mister powers
What will the morning bring?

To hear them gospel women sing

And all the glory is his

Thank you mister powers

Oh, thank you mister powers
You sure put the power in me!

Well, think nothin' of it buddy,
The best things in life are still free...

How did he come here?
Who gave him the key?
Slipped it in his hand
So secretly
And who put the colour
Like lines on his face?
Brought him here
To a pagan place

Now who shot his arrow?
How high did it fly?
When he tipped it with poison
Did he even know why?
What unseen hand
Brought him face to face to face to face with
All this and more
In a pagan place?

Come into my parlour
Sail in at my shore
Drink my soul dry
There is always more
There is always more after now
Fly on my carpet
Look into my face
See the heart of man
In a pagan
In a pagan
In a pagan
In a pagan
In a pagan
Pagan...

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

Bobby is the ace of hearts
Karen is the queen
Joe is the knight of the working class
With multi-coloured jeans
Ginger and rose work for unicef
Ride around on a tandem
Me i walk on air
Because i'm the king of london

Alan lives in bethnal green
His brother gets into fights
Tony lives in billericay
Talks politics every night
Sheila worked for meals on wheels
Until the council made her redundant
I'm a self made man
Because i'm the king of london

I'm the king of london
I'm the king of london
Don't need speed to make me run
I can look straight into the sun
Because i'm the king of london town

Keith marched for the right to work
Nothing really changed
Man at the bottom was still underground
Face at the top was the same
After all our well made plans
What went wrong i wonder
And i'm not allowed to ask questions anyway
Because i'm the king of london

Bobby is the ace of hearts
Karen is the queen
Freedom to be who they really are
Is something they've never seen
Whether they make it whether they break
Or whether they just go under
I'm not allowed to surrender anyway
Because i'm the king of london

I'm the king of london
I'm the king of london
Don't need speed to make me run
I can look straight into the sun
Because i'm the king of london town

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

I heard a rumour of a golden age
And the stage is gettin' set
I heard a rumour of a golden age
The stage is gettin' set
I heard a rumour of a golden age
In the song, on a screen and printed page
And all the world will be a stage
And the stage is gettin' set

I've seen the glow of a golden dawn
And the dawn is comin' through
I've seen the glow of a golden dawn
And the dawn is comin' through
I've seen the glow of a golden dawn
And all will wait to gaze upon
And though the hour is hard and long
The dawn is coming through

I felt the wind behind my heels
And it feels good to me
I felt the wind behind my heels
And it feels good to me
I felt the wind behind my heels
My soul fired up like catherine wheels
And i'm never gonna forget how it feels
And it feels good to me

I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
I saw a ship come sailing in
I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
I saw a ship come sailing in
I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
Said "lord, i surrender" and fell on my knees
And loving rose in the heart of me
And the ship came sailing in

I heard a rumour of a golden age

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

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

Flashman's in the belfry shouting as loud as he can
Samson's up all night again talking about himself
What a wonderful man
And i'm just wild about ronnie
And ronnie's just wild about me
I saw him selling winter coats on the portobello road
I thought i bet he wishes he was really working for the nme

When the gang came down here again
And they're phoning up australia and they call each other names
And they all just wanna look like richard hell and tom verlaine
Some of my best friends are trains

Now steven's in a sweat, he just can't read kerouac books
And robin's all excuses, says he can't find much but he does look
He goes up to the playfair
He goes down with the stars
He goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car
And he calls me from chelsea and he says it's such a thrill
And though i don't believe a word but he keeps me talking

Til the gang come down here again
And they're phoning up australia and they call each other names
And they all just wanna look like richard hell and tom verlaine
Some of my best friends are trains

And did you ever have
One of those days
Where the world's wide open
And you can do anything
And you can go anywhere
And you don't have to think
About who you'll offend
Every time that you even blink
I'm going to the station where a big red train
Is waiting to take me to the country again
Then you'll come from yonkers but why should i care
It'll rain and rain for days and days and you know i won't be there

When the gang come down here again
And they're phoning up australia and they call each other names
And they all just wanna look like richard hell and tom verlaine
Some of my best friends

Yeah the gang come down here again
And they're calling up australia and they're scaring all my friends
And they all just wanna look like hell and verlaine
Some of my best friends are trains

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

(ada ruth habershon)

I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
I saw the hearse come a-rolling
For it carried my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky

Well i call out undertaker
"undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are holding
Lord i hate to see her go"

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky

I will follow close beside her
Try to hold on and be brave
But i could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky lord, in the sky
In the sky lord, in the sky
In the sky lord,
In the sky lord,
In the sky!

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

Now he's brought down the rain and the indian summer is through
You'll be dancing down the country in the morningtime if i know you
You ain't calling me to join you and i'm spoken for anyway
But you'll be killing my heart
When you go away

Shall we gather by the river for to hear the lovely thunder crash ?
Shall we sail now in your speeding bonnie boat here and gone like a splash ?
You will see me, small, receding, mouth hung open, words i cannot say
You'll be killing my heart
When you go away

Mike rogers left his whisky and the night is very very young
I've much to say and more to tell - the words will soon be spilling from my tongue
I'll rave and i will ramble, i'll do everything but make you stay
You'll be killing my heart
When you go away

(bob dylan)

If you're travelling in the north country fair
Where the wind sweeps heavy on the border line
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

If you're travelling in the snow-flake storm
Where the rivers freeze and the summer ends
See for me that she's wearing a cloak that is warm
To keep her from the howlin' wind

See for me if her hair is hanging low
If it curls and it tumbles all the way to her breast
See for me if her hair is hanging low
'cos that's the way that i remember her best

I'm wondering if she remembers me at all
The many times i've often strayed
In the stillness of my night
And in the darkness of my day

So if you're travelling in the north country fair
Where the wind sweeps heavy on the border line
Remember me to the one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

Well, do you hear that lonesome ?? ??
Lord, he sounds too blue to cry
The midnight train lord he's ?? and ??
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

Well if you ever hear a robin weep
When the leaves begin to die
Likely he's lost the will to live
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

Now the silence of the falling star
It lights up a purple sky
And as i wonder sweetheart where you are
I'm so lonesome i could cry

Now the train that i ride is sixteen coaches long
And the girl that i love is gone
And if i could grow wings, i would take off and fly
I'm lonesome i could cry
Yes, i'm lonesome i could cry
