unknown

Where d'you wanna spend eternity?
Dreaming of liberty,
Searching for reality,
Trucking down infinity.

Bury your past an' move on fast,
Nothin's gonna last, so take a bit of grass
An' move on, move on fast.

What's your visibility?
Looking for community,
Hoping for unity,
Trucking through infinity.

Bury your past an' move on fast,
Nothin's gonna last, so take a bit of grass
An' move on, move on fast.

Where d'you wanna spend eternity?
I might meet you somewhere.
All roads leads to nowhere,
Trucking through infinity.

Bury your past an' move on fast,
Nothin's gonna last, so roll a bit of grass
An' move on, move on fast.

Move on! move on! move on! move on!
Move on! move on! move on! move on!

Original lyrics by christina rossetti (1830 - 1894)


Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor i.
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor i.
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.

Oh, wind, wind,
Wind, wind, wind.

Who has seen enough?
Only me and john.
But when a smile goes 'round the world
Our love is catching on.

Oh, smile, smile,
Smile, smile, smile.

Who has seen your dream?
Only you and him.
But when the world gets bright and clear
You know that we were there.

Oh, world, world,
World, world, world.

Mountains may move, river may run,
But you make me be myself, you make me be.
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you're the one?

Stars may move, time may run,
But you make me free myself, you make me free.
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you're the one, you're the one?

In the world eye we were laurel and hardy,
In our minds we were heathcliff and cathy.
In a moment of wisdom we were a wizard and a witch,
In a moment of freedom we were don quixote and santo.
In reality we were just a boy and a girl who never looked back.

How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How could i tell you?
How could i tell you?
You're the one,
You're the one,
You're the one,

You're the one.

I was looking for something in the closet,
I was sure it would be there.
But to my surprise it wasn't there
And i had to look all over the world.

I was telling anybody i need to find it now,
It's very important to find it now.
I wasn't surprised that they didn't care,
And i had to look for it myself.

Where is it? where is it?
Oh, where could it be?
Why don't you help me look for it?
Why don't you help me look for it?

I kept on looking for the thing they say was there,
But i couldn't find it anywhere.
And to my dismay, i didn't even remember
What i was supposed to look for anyway.

What is it? what is it?
Oh, what could it be?
Why don't you tell me what it is?
Why don't you tell me what it is?

I was looking for something i knew was in my head,
I wasn't sure if it were dead.
But to my dismay, it was still there,
I had to close the door real fast.

What did i do? what did i do?
Oh, what did i do?
Why didn't i look in the closet instead?
Why didn't i look in the closet instead?

I was looking for my head in the closet,
I was sure it would be there.
But to my surprise it wasn't there
And i had to look all over the world.

Where is it? where is it?
Oh, where could it be?
Why don't you help me look for it?
Why don't you help me look for it?

Fame, makes a man take things over.
Fame, let's him lose, hard to swallow.
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow.
Fame.

Fame,
It's not your brain, it's just a flame,
That burns your change to keep you insane.

Fame.

Fame, what you like is in the limo.
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.
Fame, what you need you have to borrow.
Fame.

Fame,
Now it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time it drives you to crime.

Fame.

Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame.
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool?
Fame.

Fame,
Bully for you,
Chilly for me,
Got to get a raincheck on pain.

Fame.

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, - fame.

What's your name?

(fame, fame)
(fame, fame)

Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine,
Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile?
Honey, i take sugar, two.
While he's ranting an' raving,
Could you pass that cream?
I was looking to have a cupa tea.
Instead i freeze.

Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?
Or bushing my tush till there's no scream left?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?

Mm -

Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero,
Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin?
Brother, not that way, they'll take you away.
Mm, give me your gun,
It's no use to anyone.
Instead i freeze.

Seeing if i shut up and stay real still,
Maybe he won't kill, at least not me.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?

Mm -

Wouldn't it be nice to be a star,
Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty?
Being looked up with a telescope
While my sister's busy cutting the rope.
Daddy, you can't touch me,
Mommy, you can't hate me,
I'm a star, get it?
Instead i froze.

And i let them, i let them,
I let them pick my brain,
Twist my arm,
Cut my throat
And wish me dead.
But i'm still thinking,
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?

Bless you for your anger,
It's a sign of rising energy.
(transform the energy to versatility and it will bring you prosperity)

Bless you for your sorrow,
It's a sign of vulnerability.
(transform the energy to sympathy and it will bring you love)

Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity.
(transform the energy to giving,
Give as much as you wish to take and you will receive satisfaction)

Bless you for your jealousy,
It's a sign of empathy.
(transform the energy to admiration
And what you admire will become part of your life)

Bless you for your fear,
It's a sign of wisdom.
(transform the energy to flexibility and you will be free from what you fear)

Bless you for your search of direction.
(transform the energy to receptivity and the direction will come to you)

Bless you for the times you see evil.
(evil feeds on your support. feed not and it will self-destruct.
Shed light and it will cease to be)

Bless you for the times you feel no love.
Open your heart to life anyway
In time you will find love in you.

You are a sea of goodness,
You are a sea of love.
Bless you, bless you, bless you,
Bless you for what you are.

Count your blessings ev'ry day for they are your protection
Which stand between you and what you wish not.

Count your curses and there will be a wall
Which stand between you and what you wish.

The world has all that you need
You have the power to attract what you wish.
Wish for health, wish for joy,
Remember, you are loved.

The world has all that you need
And you have the power to attract what you wish.
Wish for health, wish for joy,
Remember, you are loved.

I love you

On a windy day, let's go on flying.
There may be no trees to rest on,
There may be no clouds to ride.
But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us,
That's enough for me,
That's enough for me.

On a windy day, we went flying.
There was no sea to rest on,
There were no hills to glide.
We saw an empty bottle rolling down the street
And on a cupboard stand at the corner of the street,
Wrinkled souls piled up like grapefruits.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

It's sad that air is the only thing we share,
No matter how close we are there's always air between us.
It's also nice that air's something we all share,
No matter how far apart we are an air links us.

It's sad that past is something we can never share,
No matter how close we are the past is between us.
But it's also nice that without the past
We'd have never known each other,
No matter how far apart we are it brought us together.

Yes, it's very nice to have someone to share,
There's something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our past but we have our future to share.

It's sad that life is such a heavy thing to bear,
No matter how close we are it's easy to despair.
It's also nice that you and i know it's what we all share,
No matter how far apart we are we can learn to care.

There's something very nice to have something to share,
There's something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our bodies but we have our minds to share.

Yes, there's something very nice to have something to care,
There's something very nice to have someone to share.
We may not share our language but we have the world to share.

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people
Living for today, ah-ha-ah.

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace,
You-oo-oo-

You may say i'm a dreamer,
But i'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world,
You-oo-oo-

You may say i'm a dreamer,
But i'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

Dub-dub train passed through my mind,
Dub, dub-dub train passed through my mind, ooh, ooh...

My life, take it, it's mine to give.
Take it, let me live in you.
My life, take it, it's yours.
Do what you will, i dedicate it to you.

What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

My life, take it, for better or worse.
Why waste time?
We both know together is the only way.
We'll make it any way.
Take it, my life,
My life is you.

What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

I've only myself to...
I've only myself to (give to) you.

For better or worse i dedicate my life to you.
La-la-la-la....

Oh!

They're really rockin' in boston,
In pittsburgh, p.a.
Deep in the heart of texas,
On down to frisco bay.
All over st. louis
And down in new orleans,
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet, little sixteen.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, little sixteen,
She's got the grown up blues.
Tight dresses and lipstick,
She's sportin' high heel boots-ah.
Oh, but tomorrow morning,
You gotta have to change her trend,
Become sweet sixteen-ah,
And back in class again.

Oh, mummy, mummy,
Please, please may i go?
You know it's such a sight to see them
Some other steal the show.
Oh, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,
You know i beg of you,
Scream it to mama,
It's all right with you.

Because they're rockin' in new york,
In philadelphia, p.a.
Deep in the heart of texas,
Down at the "rainbow", l.a.
All over st. louis
And down in new orleans,
All them mothers wanted to
Be sweet, little sixteen.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sixteen,
She's so delicate,
She's just gotta have it,
About half, half a mountain,
That's framed back.
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,
Do it! do it!

You've heard of woman nation,
Well, that's coming, baby.
What we need is the power of trust,
That it's coming.
You've heard of the law of selection,
Well, that's how we're gonna do it, baby.
We allow men who wanna join us
The rest can just stay by themselves.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Two thousand years of male society,
Laying fear and tyranny.
Seeking grades and money,
Clinging to values vain and phony.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Do you know that one day you lost your way, man?
Do you know that some day you have to pay, man?
Have you anything to say, man, except
"make no mistake about it, i'm the president, you hear?
I wanna make one thing clear, i'm the president, you hear?"

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

You don't hear them singing songs,
You don't see them living life,
'cause they've got nothing to say, but
"make no mistake about it, i'm the president, you hear?
I wanna make one thing clear, i'm the president, you hear?"

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

You may be the president now,
You may still be a man.
But you must also be a human,
So open up and join us in living.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

In the coming age of feminine society,
We'll regain our human dignity.
We'll lay some truth and clarity
And bring back nature's beauty.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Ev'ry woman has a song to sing,
Ev'ry woman has a story to tell.
Make no mistake about it, brothers,
We women have the power to move mountains.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Did you have to cook the meals?
Did you have to knit?
Did you have to care for life instead of killing?
There's no mistake about it, sisters,
We women have the power to change the world.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power!
Woman power!
Woman power! (woman power!)

(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)

Oh, dirty maggie mae,
They have taken her away,
And she'll never walk down lime street any more.

Oh, the judge he guilty found her
Of robbin' the homeward bounder,
That dirty, no good, robbin' maggie mae.

'tis the part of liverpool
North of liverpool;
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay.

Oh, something down,
Went down on number nine,
T'was down in kelly's pornshop, number nine.

Oh, dirty maggie mae,
They have taken her away,
And she'll never walk down lime street any more.

Oh, the judge he guilty found her

"for the other half in the sky."

Woman, i can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness,
After all, i'm forever in your debt.
And woman, i will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success.

Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,

Woman, i know you understand
The little child inside the man.
Please remember, my life is in your hand.
And woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart.
After all, it is written in the stars.

Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,

Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again.

I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah.

Well, it was sunday, bloody sunday when the shot the people there.
The cries of thirteen martyrs filled the free derry air.
Is there anyone amongst you dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding when they nailed the coffin lids!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Well, you claim to be majority, well, you know that it's a lie.
You're really a minority on this sweet emerald isle.
When stormont bans our marches, they've got a lot to learn,
Internment is no answer, it's those mothers' turn to burn.

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Hey! yeah!
Yeah!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

All you anglo pigs and scotties sent to colonise the north,
You wave your bloody union jacks and you know what it's worth.
How dare you hold to ransom a people proud and free?
Keep ireland to the irish, put the english back to sea!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Hey, hey, hey!
Alright!
Ooh -
Yeah!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Well, it's always bloody sunday in the concentration camps.
Keep falls road free forever from the bloody british hands.
Repatriate to britain all of you who call it home,
Leave ireland to the irish not for london or for rome.

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday.

She tells her boat to stand by,
She tells her car to stand by,
She tells her plane to stand by,
But nobody knows she's a stand by for life.

Stand by for life, stand by for life,
Somebody up there is giving her a run around.

She tells her men to stand by,
She tells her friends to stand by,
She tells her world to stand by,
But nobody knows she's a stand by for life.

Stand by for life, stand by for life,
Somebody up there is giving her a run around.

Yellow girl, yellow girl, when will you learn?
Your life is sharp as knife,
But remember it cuts both ways.

Stand by for death, stand by for death,
Somebody down there is giving her a run around.

Yellow girl, yellow girl, when will you learn?
Your life is sharp as knife,
But remember it cuts both ways.

Ev'ry day's a sunday for yellow girl...

I walked through the park and saw a young oak tree growing,
Growing beside an old bark hit by lightning.
I asked the young tree how he wished to be,
He shook his leaves and sung to me:

I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and i like it out here.

When i hear thunder, i think of my father,
He taughtme about life, that was when i was five.
It's true that some days are more than grey,
But we learn to get by day by day.

I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and i like it out here.

Translated from japanese


Let's have a dream, let's have a dream,
No matter how hard it is, let's survive another day.
I want to climb the sphinx under the moon.
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Let's love each other, let's love each other,
No matter how we struggle, we die tomorrow.
I want to caress the new york skyline
And love each other, love each other.

Let's forgive each other, forgive each other,
No matter how we have each other, it's a life that ends tomorrow.
Let's watch the water of the seine pass by
And let's forgive each other, forgive each other.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,
Wanna forgive each other,
Wanna meet, wanna meet, wanna meet,
Love, love, love, love,
I miss you!

Let's have a dream, let's have a dream,
No matter how hard it is, let's survive another day.
I wanna be blown by the willow in ginza.
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

I want to be immersed in the green of japan
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,
Wanna forgive each other,
Wanna meet, wanna meet, wanna meet,
Love, love, love, love,
I miss you!

O'oh, central park,
O'oh, evening skyline,
O'oh, helicopter,
O'oh, firecrackers,
O'oh, july 4th in new york city

O'oh, trees are laughing,
O'oh, windows smiling,
O'oh, water shining,
O'oh, people rolling,
O'oh, july 4th in new york city

I never knew we could be so nice to each other,
I never thought we'd be laughing together,
I never knew life could be so sweet and simple,
I never thought that was possible.

O'oh, papers flying,
O'oh, dogs are chasing,
O'oh, clouds are dreaming,
O'oh, people dancing,
O'oh, july 4th in new york city.

I never knew we could be so kind to each other,
I never thought we'd be singing together,
I never knew life could be so sweet and simple,
I never thought that was possible.

O'oh, central park,
O'oh, evening skyline,
O'oh, helicopter,
O'oh, firecrackers.

O'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh,
O'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh,
O'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh,
O'oh, o'oh, o'oh, o'oh.

"okay."

The town's dawning, i'm the only one awake.
The streets are whistling, i light my fourth cigarette.
I think of my friends, they were once not so dead.
What are they thinking now?

One day i'll be just a little stone,
Nobody'll know that the stone had such emotions.
Anyway, i'm always on the run.
Someday i'll be remembered for the phone calls i never made,
Letters i never mailed,
And stories i never finished telling anyone.

The town's yawning, i let my dog walk me around.
He took a shoot and people smiled,
I tried the same and people frowned.
Yes, it's a dog, dogtown.

One day let's be a pair of trees,
Nobody'll know that the trees had such a history.
Anyway, we'd never be this lonely.
Someday i'll be remembered for the fine words i meant to keep,
A warm smile i meant to leave,
And a true song i meant to finish writing all my life.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Peas porridge luck, peas porridge stuck,
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.
Some gets paid, some gets grades,
Some stays in the pot nine years old.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Peas porridge loved, peas porridge spoiled,
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.
Some gets laid, some gets slayed,
Some stays in the pot nine years old.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Dogtown, dogtown, dogtown, dogtown,
Dogtown, dogtown, dogtown -.

-"the end of two middle aged"

The years have passed so quickly,
One thing i understood:
I'm only learning tell the trees from wood.


And i know just how you feel,
And i know now what i have done.
And i know that i'm guilty, yes, i am,
But i never could read your mind.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.

And i know what's coming down
And i know where it's coming from.
And i know it's getting better all the time
Now we're sharing each others mind.

I know what i was missing,
But now my eyes can see.
Put myself in your place as you did for me.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday-hey,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.

Oooh - oh-oh-oh

No more cry, no more cryin'

The body is the scar of your mind,
The scar turns into a wind of pain.
It passes mountains after mountains,
It passes the cities and my country.

O'wind, o'wind,
Oh, oh, oh, wind, oh, oh...
Oh, o'wind.

But when it passed the world nine times,
The wind turns into a breeze.

O'wind, oh, oh, oh...
O'wind.

Wind -

Ev'ry man has a woman who loves him,
Rain or shine or life or death.

If he finds her in this life time,
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast.

Why do i roam when i know you're the one?
Why do i laugh when i feel like crying?

Ev'ry woman has a man who loves her,
Rise or fall of her life and in death.

If she finds him in this life time,
She will know when she looks into his eyes.

Why do i roam when i know you're the one?
Why do i run when i feel like holding you?

Ev'ry man has a woman who loves him,
If he finds her in this life time he will know.

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All i know is we're here today.

I've got nightmares i could never share with you,
The kind that keeps me up all night.
So hold me tight till the room is light
And tell me that it's all right.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
We may go our separate ways some day,
But we know we shared our dreams today.

I've got nightmares i would never wish on you,
The kind that keeps me down all day.
So hold me tight till the sky is light
And tell me that it's all right.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye.

Yoko!!
(it's getting light)

Mummy, mummy.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
(never say) goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
(never say) goodbye,
Never say goodbye,

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.

Why death?
Why life?
Warm hearts?
Cold darts?

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
I'm bleeding inside.

It's a long, long story to tell
And i can only show you my hell.

Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love,
Just one touch, touch will do.
Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love,
Just one touch, touch will do.

Why me?
Why you?
Broken mirror?
White terror?

Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love,
I'm shaking inside.

It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell
Ringing in my soul.

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.

-"good night, boys and girls!"

No bed for beatle john
Beatle, john lennon,
Lost his hospital bed yesterday, to a patient

It happened at queen charlotte's hospital, london
Where john was keeping vigil in the room
Where his girlfriend yoko ono,
Is being kept under observation
When he realised his bed was needed for an urgent case,
John sent out for a sleeping bag,
And last night
He was once more happily kipped down, alongside yoko,
In the sleeping bag.

Yoko, who expects a baby next february
Will remain in the hospital for another few days
A beatles spokesman said
"there is a good chance for the baby's survival."

The beatles win battle of the nude lp
The beatles have won their fight to put
Out an lp record with a sleeve showing
John lennon and yoko ono in nude

Emi the world's biggest recording company
Whose artists include the beatles
Refused to handle the lp called two virgins because of the sleeve.
So did the group's american outlet, capitol records

But the record with its controversial sleeve
Will be released in both countries next month
An official of the beatles apple company said last night
The sleeve has not yet been censored or altered in any way
We're pleased it has been distributed it may be that some record shops may still
Refuse to handle it.

We're born in a prison, raised in a prison,
Sent to a prison called school.
We cry in a prison, we love in a prison,
We dream in a prison like fools.

Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
Reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.

We live with no reason, kicked 'round for no reason,
Thrown out without reason like tools.
We work in a prison and hate in a prison,
And die in a prison as a rule.

Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
Reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.

We live in a prison 'mong judges and wardens
And wait for no reason for you.
We laugh in a prison, go through all four seasons,
And die with no vision of truth.

Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
Reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.

Born in a prison!
(born in a prison!)
(born in a prison!)
(born in a prison!)

Born in a prison!
(born in a prison!)
(born in a prison!)

Born in a prison!
Born in a prison!
Born in a prison!

(born in a prison!)
(born in a prison!)

Born in a prison!

This is hell in paradise,
We're all asleep or paralyzed.
Why are we scared to verbalize
Our multicolor dreams?

When will we come to realize,
We're all stoned or pacified,
While the boogie men organize
Their multilevel schemes?

Underqualified for love,
Overqualified for life,
Sticking our heads in slime,
Thinking we're in our prime.

Mesmerized by mythology,
Hypnotized by ideology,
Antagonized by reality,
Vandalized by insanity,
Desensitized by fraternity,
Sanitized by policy,
Jeopardized by lunacy.

Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy.
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call,
It's adam's ball, eve's call.

Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out,
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to,
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.

This is hell in paradise,
None of us wish to recognize.
But do we want them to materialize
An endangered species?

Exorcise institution,
Exercise intuition,
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

I see your face looking into the space,
All tired and worried.
Why does it have to be like this, you and i,
I wanted us to be happy.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like i do.

I see your face with a trace of life,
Being a wife and a woman.
If i ever hurt you, please, remember,
I wanted you to be happy.

Is there anything i want more,
More than your trust and understanding?

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like i do.

I wanna quit moving,
I wanna quit running,
I wanna relax and be tender.
I wanna see us together again,
Rocking away in our walnut chairs.

Even with your warmth and closeness,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a curse.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like i do.

Even with our dreams and yearnings,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a thirst.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like i do.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like i do.

If you knew peggy sue,
Then you know why i feel blue without peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, well, i love you, gal,
Yes, i love you, peggy sue.

Peggy sue, peggy sue,
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty peggy sue.
Oh ho, peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, well, i love you, girl,
And i need you, peggy sue.

I love you, peggy sue,
With that love so rare and true,
Oh ho, peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, yes, i love you, girl,
And i want you, peggy sue.

Look out!

Peggy sue, peggy sue,
Oh, how my heart yearns for you,
Oh ho, peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, well, i love you, girl,
And i want you, peggy sue.

Oh, yes, i love you, girl,
And i want you, peggy sue.

Oh!

You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss
A fly is just a fly
Right, and we're together
A rose is a rose.

"hello,
Oh, hi!
How are you?
Mm, i'm fine.
What's up?
Umm-umm, no, no, it's alright.
Er, yeah, go ahead, i'm listening.
Umm-umm, hah-hah, yeah, umm...
Umm-umm,
Umm-umm."

He was a mindweaver, always on the phone,
Telling me all sorts of hurt of his own.
Although his voice was sweet to me,
I wondered if we could ever be.

He was a mindbeater, always on the phone,
Telling me all sorts of what i did wrong.
Although his voice was sweet to me,
I wondered if we could ever be.

He was a mindbender, always on the phone,
Telling me all sorts of dreams he has sewn.
Although his voice was sweet to me,
I wondered if we could ever be.

Temp'rature's risin', fever is high,
Can't see no future, can't see no sky.

My feet are so heavy, so is my head,
I wish i was a baby, i wish i was dead.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

My body is aching, goose pimple bone.
Can't see nobody, leave me alone.

My eyes are wide open, can't get to sleep,
One thing i'm sure of i'm in at the deep freeze.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Ah, ah.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Thirty-six hours rollin' in pain,
Prayin' to someone, free me again.

Oh, i'll be a good boy, please make me well,
I promise you anything, get me out of this hell.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Oh,
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh -
Uh-ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Aaahhh -

Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well.

I took my loved one out to dinner,
So we could get a bite to eat.
And though we both had been much thinner,
She looked so beautiful i could eat her.

Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well.

I took my loved one to a big field,
So we could watch the english sky.
We both were nervous, feeling guilty,
And neither one of us knew just why.

Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,

Well, well, well,
Well, well, well, well, well,
Well, well, well, well, well.

Well, well.

Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well.

We sat and talked of revolution,
Just like to lib'rals in the sun.
We talked of women's liberation
And how the hell we could get things done.

Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well.

I took my loved one to a big field,
So we could watch the english sky.
We both were nervous, feeling guilty,
And neither one of us knew just why.

Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, well,
Well, well, well, well,
Well,
Ho! ha-ha! that's all!

Here we go again,
Here we go again and again,
Wond'rin' how it all began,
Wond'rin' will it ever end.

Round and round we go,
Where it's going, nobody knows.
Though i know we've been this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

So i say hello again,
And nobody gives a damn,
And nobody wants to hold your hand,
Ev'ryone is an also-ran.

Round and round we go,
Where it's going, nobody knows.
Though i know we've seen this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh,
Round and round we go-oh.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

A one, two, three.

J.o.h.n.n.y.,
God's little gift, cream and pie.

Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, milk and honey,
God's little gift for woman.

I want you clever but not too clever,
I want you bad but not too bad.
I want you strong but not too strong,
I want you to try your rightful position.

Oh, too, too much, i mean, it's so good.

Men, men, snails and puppies,
Your muscles are not for fighting in war.
Your lips are not for voicing opinions,
Your eyes are there for us to look into.
I want you to take your rightful position.

Oh, too, too much, i mean, it's so good.

Men, men, grapes and nuts,
Your pants are never tight enough,
Your boots are never long enough.
Your skin is never young enough,
I want you to hold your rightful position.

Pardon me, honeycum, your hair piece's slipping.

Men, men, apples and figs,
I like you to be faithful but not very fussy,
I like you to be behind me but not just beside me.
I like you to shut up but know when to say yes,
I want you to learn your frightful position.

Pardon me, starstud, your cod piece's showing.

Now you know what you have to do-oh,
Now you know what's expected of you-hoo-hoo-hoo.
So come, come, come, come,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and see me sometime,
Come up and see me sometime.

-"ladies and gents, i'd like to introduce you to my lower half, without whom i won't be breathing so heavily.
Honey juice, you can come out of the box now..."

-"yes, dear."

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.

A thousand years of torture and hunger,
Drove the people away from their land.
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the british brigands!
Goddamned!
Goddamned!

If you could keep voices like flowers,
There's be shamrock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams like irish streams,
Then the world would be as high as the mountain of morn.

In the 'pool they told us the story
How the english divided the land.
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of auld eireland.

If we could make chains with the morning dew,
The world would be like galway bay.
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
The world would be one big blarney stone.

Why the hell are the english there anyway?
As they kill with god on their side!
Blame it all on the kids and the i.r.a.
As the bastards commit genocide!
Aye! aye!
Genocide!

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
Yes, you'd wish you was english instead.

Angry young woman on sunrise strip,
Walking away to the new world.
She left her man, she left her children,
'cause she knows she has only one life to live.

Angry young woman with her background on her forehead,
"three children and two abortions."
"played a little piano ten years ago."
"and some typing from the college where she met her husband."

Angry young woman in the dark of the night,
Hears her children crying for dinner,
Hears her man shouting for his shirt
And thinks of the first sundays they spent in the park.

Angry young woman, angry young woman,
There's no way back, so just keep walking.
Leave your past in your raincoat pocket
And when you turn the corner you'll see the new world.

Angry young woman, angry young woman,
There's no way back, so just keep walking.
Leave your past in your raincoat pocket
And when you turn the corner you'll see the new world.

(angry young woman, angry young woman,
There's no way back, so just keep walking.
Leave your past in your raincoat pocket)

(angry young woman, angry young woman)

I turned a corner,
It didn't seem that was wrong,
I was just having a laugh.
But suddenly my friends are gone
And i didn't know that life would be so long.

I turned the clock
And went around the block,
Thought i was just having a laugh.
But suddenly my world was gone
And i found myself standing alone.

I thought i was fighting the ebb of life,
I thought i was cutting the web and the strife.
But i look at the mirror where there used to be a smile,
Now i see a stranger.

Ad lib.

By john lennon and yoko ono


Okay, yoko
Peace -
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace.
(peace, peace, peace, peace...)
Peace -
Let's hope for peace, (peace, peace, peace, peace!)
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john, let's hope for peace
For our children,
For our country,
For our world,
For our future,
Oh, john, let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Peace -
Peace, peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john -
Peace.
Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.

John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the
Youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for
Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a
Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's
Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor
Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about
Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna
Just to give people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them.
And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for
Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we
Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment
With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning
For thousands of years. they know how to play the game violence and it's easier for
Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle
Humour, peaceful humour and that's our message really.

Questioner: what do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?

John: haven't a clue.

Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in
Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of
Peace through violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that,
That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and
Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're trying to do.

Questioner: what would you do in case of a war?

John: how do you mean?

Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?

John: i'd die of fright.

Yoko: i don't think that should happen. you talk as if something's going to happen
Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same
World and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any
Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in
The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only
Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the world
Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so
That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.

Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during
The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible
Than the others?

John: no, not particularly.

Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was really
Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were
Really aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you
Know, well, which is almost impossible, i'm sure, but as much as possible and if the
Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, i'm sure.

John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time
Before they made any decision about what to do. i'm not quite sure of the facts, you
Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier,
But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money,
Their territory.

Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..

John: no. i don't think so because...

Questioner: hitler could have been voted by the french, for instance.

John: every nation will have a prototype. i think i was out talking to one of the
Austrian tv guys. i said can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of
Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack
Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, i don't know whether that's
True.

Qustioner: but they were silent at the wrong moment...

John: okay, that's bad, i agree that silence is bad. but i mean there isn't one european
Country that hasn't had its hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what
They did to india and south africa, you know.

Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to
Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because those are the people
Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the next world, you
Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or anything like
That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're just
Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work
For the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we think is
The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is just as bad as
Before the second world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything,
All the violence that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we
Don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going
To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we find in the
Newspaper, find that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.

Questioner: i agree with you, but don't you see, i mean, it's a fact that by through your
Behaviour, i think it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get
Suspicious. they don't think that this can be correct, people sitting under a
Tablecloth protesting against wars. they don't think...

Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay,
Go ahead, and they should do it in their own way, but do something, you know.

Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?

John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and we're
Staying in bed for peace, but i'm as violent as the next man, and i'm sure yoko is just as
Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. i prefer myself when i'm non-
Violent. i prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living
And if we have to have violence, let's channel it, you know.
I don't know how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or
Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but i don't want to be
Involved in their violence. i prefer to live in peace, you know.

Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and
Take off all your clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you
See. just courage and if everybody gets courage and of course they would,
Because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do,
But look at john and yoko they're doing worse, so i can do it, you know.
That's all we're trying to do, you see.

Questioner: so you're putting courage, also, into the world?

John: we hope so.

Yoko: i hope so.

John: okay.


Stay in bed!

John: look there's a fly flitting around. just makes you laugh.

Yoko: what time is it?

John: what's the time?

Yoko: what?

John: 9:30.good morning. i was saying about bagism,you see, you get in this bag and you
Jump out the window. next thing you know, you got a policeman on your head. you want tea?

Yoko: you know what i want, john?

John: what; what, what, what. oh, give us a chance! you want one before i do. yes, our

Yoko: yes, it's lovely.

John: thank you very much.

Visitor: here you are.

John: thank you. you gonna take him off me now'!

Visitor: yeah, if you don't mind. thank you very much.

John: i thought you were giving

Visitor: bye, bye. bye, bye. no, no.

John: i sort of was under that impression. she gave us the dog and then went away. very nice.

Yoko: it's rather sort of really swinging though. don't you think so?

John: the thought of the long haired beatle in the 19th century sanctuary. please
Stop this nonsense. go home. we don't like people like you. go to a doctor to be
Normal, you get this? go to a doctor to be normal. we're seeing a psychiatrist today,
So maybe he'll fix us up then. bloody marvellous. we don't get through on some level,
As you notice. was under marijuana. beautiful, beautiful. keep smoking. nothing illegal
Beautiful, beautiful. hey, those kids are as hard as the real press.

Yoko: yes, amazing.

John: amazing. they're just as tough as the real press. very sexy. it's a boy, it's a boy.
Questioner: why are you staying in bed for 7 days?

John: ah, because...

Questioner: well, first of all, let me say congratulations on your marriage and that
In dutch is gefiliciteerd met je getrouw.

John: oh, dank u wel, oh, chocolat!

Questioner: how about explaining this mission you are on at this moment!

John: well, you start...

Yoko: well, because we thought of this idea about staying in bed for 7 days for
Protest against violence in the world.

Questioner: did you think of its geographical situation as being the centre of europe?

John: no, i didn't realise, is it? oh, fantastic! it was magic then, you see, cause the way...

Questioner: well, they call it the centre of europe. it's an advertising campaign for an
Airline.

John: okay, well give us a free ticket and we'll be all right.

Various people: stand up! bend over towards us.
Stand up on your knees, maybe. turn up, turn up on your knees.
As soon as we can ......(unhearable) ....but we need you here

John: so, anyway a policeman came in and an elephant jumped on me head, so i said
What's going on and he said cabbages and the next moment i was on film, yeah.
Love, peace and bed!not forgetting jam of course.
Okay, guess now it's over?

Qustioner: are you cold?

John: no, no, no!

Questioner: yeah, music, you know, if you go back to the days of a, of a, let's see, where do we start now, we start with "do you love me?"

John: not, not particularly.
How about that?

John singing: good bye amsterdam, goodbye.
Stay in bed,
For bed-in,
For peace of the world,
Stay in bed,
Grow your hair.
Grow your hair.
Okay, good night.
Now it's time to say good night,
Good night, sleep tight.
Now the sun puts out his light.

Yoko: what a beautiful day it was though, very tiring, though. it's so turning like
Crazy, you know.

John: you can say that sort of hot?

Yoko: grow your hair.

John: bed peace.

Yoko: hair peace.

John: hair peace, bed peace.
Oh, yeah.

With a heart as good and pure as mine.
But maybe i am asking for too much,
Darling, please don't ever break my heart.

I know you think you're smart,
Just runnin' around breaking lovers hearts.

Just because you left and said goodbye, hey!
Do you think that i will sit and cry?

Well, thank you, mr. jitters.
Thank you, mister jitters.

The official soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste from the filthy war in vietnam. and were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country. wow. sounds like a ballad to me, oh man.
Bankok, thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign ietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea for a ride in thailand. sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communicatin. oh lord, the boat was towed into thai waters by a german freighter and the thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst the only took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision.
Hey, that's deep man.

The chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premiar deng xiaoping. and said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernisation and programs., oh this should get me in the village bar.
Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinionsof the masses are carefully thought out nor can we demand that they all be correct. adding this is nothing terrible. it' bad enough, but its not terrible.
From a prison, richard nixon, on his second trip outside the united states, sent his fesignation with a smiling hand shake politician again. greedy crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little french.
They sure as hell didn't try it on pam nixon., mr. nixon is in paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on french television. they thought of going on to deliver a speech in england, he'll participate in the french collegue program and said he will answer questions in welsh.

That's pretty big mr. m. ahhh, i'm so cynical, i could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunnions in a hundred years from now. they're gonna be sellin' my socks like judy garland. and i hope that they get a good price. i mean, with the inflation and the price of rice. man, i shouldn't worry, i own all my songs and i wrote them myself too.
I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2000.000 fans, a posted system that never fails to land me in jail. and look through my mail. perhaps have a garage sale. and you know, go save the whale, and a..you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell? stuck inside of a lexicon with the roger thesaurus blues again.
Sometimes i wish i was just george harrison, you know all the answers, oh my god, oh my god.

I stopped flying a long time ago,
Thinking that's just for the birds and bees.
But when i look up (i look up)
And see the sky, (see the sky)
I like the blue and i know why.

You came from zeus, we come from uranus,
Hoping to meet soul to soul.
We see you clearly, (clearly)
With our third eye, (with our third eye)
There's no more fear and i know why.

Sky people, that's what we are,
Sky people, that's what we are.
One day we'll fly and leap through the sky
To look for a good land hand in hand.

Sky people, that's what we are,
Sky people, that's what we are,
Sky people, that's what we are,
Sky people, that's what we are.

I threw my woman power in a pot of stew
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single word did i hear from him,
So i tried the stew on my dog
But he wouldn't even eat it.

I put my light heart on a matching silver plate
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single footstep was heard near the door
So i ate the plate myself
And got a heartburn.

Heartburn, heartburn plate,
Heartburn, heartburn cake.

I toasted my pride and covered it with apple jam
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single sign of a stir or a breeze
So i soaked the bread in my milk
And i gave it to the birds.

Heartburn, heartburn plate,
Heartburn, heartburn cake.

I watched the clock ticking, ticking away to my past,
Eight years old, birthday and raindrops.
Not a single line from my dad or my mom
So i laid the cake on my cat
But she wouldn't even touch it.

Heartburn, heartburn stew,
Heartburn, heartburn blues.

What do i want with a heartburn, i ask you,
Don't try to give me the word.
'cause i ask a clever question
And i get a silly answer.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a phone box round the corner.

I never had a chance to choose my own parents,
I'd never know why i should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always trying not to eat
And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze.

I never had a chance to choose my own name,
I'd never know why i should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a station wagon round the block.

I looked at the mirror and told myself,
I'm glad i still don't look like them at least.
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror,
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war.

I went to shake hands with the president in miami,
I went to a rock show to see mick jagger.
And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life,
They had paint on their faces just like mommy's.

Am i going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am i going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am i plain gone or is it the world?
Daddy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy.

Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry,
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall.

Am i going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am i going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am i plain gone or is it the world?
Mommy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a church yard round the corner.

Let the tears dry and bring back your smile,
Hear the mountains cry.
The tears will grow where you laid your tears,
Rivers will flow, rivers will flow,
Flow where you rest your fears.

A soul has fled when the blood was shed,
A soul that cared for life so deeply.
The memory will grow in us
And make you and i a family.

- "i need a beginning"
- "right!"
- "here we go!"
- "rock and roll with it"
- "when in doubt...fuck it! no..no...you can't not control your prick!"

Thank you, thank you.
I nearly got all the words right, too!

Living at the y, extension 33,
Nothing to care or to worry.
Once i was in love with a blind man,
But my auntie told me, "don't do it, it's not worth it."

Living at the y, 33 years,
No one to call or to write to.
Once i was in love with a married man,
But my instincts told me, "don't tell him, it'll kill you."

I'm sad i didn't marry the blind man,
But what's a life with three blind children?
I'm glad i never told the married man,
It saved my pride and freedom.

Living at the y, in 33 rooms,
Nowhere to visit or write to.
Once i was in love, it nearly killed me,
But now i have my pride and freedom.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

This here is the story about a househusband who, you know,
Just want to get out of the house, has been looking at you,
You, know, the kids, days and days, he's been watching the
Kitchen and screwing around or whatever it has to be till
He's gone crazy!

Woke up this morning, blues around my head.
No need to ask the reason why.
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette,
Blew my worries to the sky.

I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, yeh!

If it don't feel right, you don't have to do it.
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it.
And after all is said and done,
You can't go pleasin' ev'ryone so screw it.

Uh-uh-uh,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, baby,

I'm going out to do the city.

I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, babe,
I'm stepping out.

Boogie!

I'm stepping out, hold it down,
I'm stepping out,

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get out!

I'm stepping out, babe, just for a while.
Ain't been out for days! got to do it tonight!
Give me a break! give me a break! gotta get out!
Gotta get out!
Just for a while, just for the night.
I'll be in before one, or two, or three.
Goodbye.

One, two, three, four!!

We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even want to know your name.
We don't care where you're from or where you're going,
All we know it that you came.
Your making all our decisions,
We have just one request of you,
That while you're thinking things over,
Here's something you just better do.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
Don't despair, paranoia's ev'rywhere.
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

We understand your paranoia,
But we don't wanna play your game.
You think you're cool and know what you're doing,
666 is your name.

So while you jerking off each other,
You better bear this in mind;
Your time is up, you better know it,
But maybe you don't read the signs.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it (do it) now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill,
And you still gotta swallow your pill,
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed.

Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it)
Do! (do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)

Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(do it, do it) do it, do it, do it.
Bring on the lucie!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it)

If you keep hammering anti-abortion,
We'll tell you no more masturbation for men.
Ev'ry day you're killing living sperms in billions,
So how do you feel about that, brother?

What a waste, what a waste,
What a waste, what a waste,
To have to talk to a phony like you.

If you keep telling us we're more than equal,
We'll tell you equal is not equal enough.
For centuries we've been taking your double ass deal,
So what do you say to that, brother?

What a drag, what a drag,
What a drag, what a drag,
To have to cope with a crazy like you.

Brrrr -

Ah -
Ah -
Ah -

If you keep laying on money or power,
We'll tell you meanwhile your sprinkler is out of soda.
So keep off our grass till you're in some kinda order,
What do you say to that, brother?

What a mess, what a mess,
What a mess, what a mess,
To have to put up with a fuzzy like you.

Recorded live at the varsity stadium, toronto, 13 september 1969


-"yer blues, okay?"

One, two, yeah... one, two, three...

Yes, i'm lonely, wanna die;
Yes, i'm lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

In the mornin', wanna die;
In the evenin', wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the earth;
But i am of the universe,
And you know what it's worth.

I'm lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye,
The worm he licks my bone;
I feel so suicidal,
Just like dylan's mister jones.

Lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind,
Blue mist round my soul,
Feel so suicidal,
Even hate my rock and roll.

I'm lonely, wanna die, yeah!
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

Sisters, don't blame my man too much,
I know he's doing his best.
I know his fear and loneliness,
He can do no more, no less.
He was brought up by us women,
And the world that told him to be a man.
He reached and stretched to be the one
While millions more tried to be that one.

I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.

Sisters, don't blame your man to much,
You know he's doing his best.
You know his fear and loneliness,
He can do no more, no less.
He was told by his mothers to never trust girls,
He was told by his fathers to never shed tears.
He sees girls chasing after superstars,
While their men are sitting behind bars.

I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.

Sisters, don't blame our men to much,
We know they're doing their best.
We know their fear and loneliness,
They can do no more, no less.
They were told by us to get ahead,
Be gentle and tender, yet hard and strong.
Nothing short of a living god,
Nothing short of james bond.

If we all knew that no one's to be ashamed,
But that the society is to be blamed.
We could then come together again
And direct our energies towards changing the world.

We're all blind and crippled mates,
Frustrated would-be presidents of united states.
We don't know how to cope with ourselves,
Or to love our mates for being themselves.

I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.

In the middle of the night,
I'm lying in your bed.
Thinking of you and me in the universe.

Stars are moving like the night we met,
The earth is turning like the time we said.
In my mind i'm searching for you, billion miles away.

Why do i miss you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the billion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in memories.

Why do i love you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the trillion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in universe.

Forgive me, my love,
For hiding my soul from you.
It seems easier for us
If i don't show all of myself.

How am i gonna tell you how i miss you?
How am i gonna tell you how i need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We lay an ocean between us.

Forgive me, my love,
For closing my eyes to our love.
It seems easier for us
If we thought this was just a play.

How am i gonna tell you how i miss you?
How am i gonna tell you how i need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We hold an ocean inside us.

Let me take your hand
And press it on my breast
And you will know that
The ocean is for you.

It ain't fair, john sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air.
Won't you care for john sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air?
Let him be, set him free,
Let him be like you and me.

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the judges do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free.

If he'd been a soldier man,
Shooting gooks in vietnam,
If he was the c.i.a.,
Selling dope and making hay,
He'd be free, they'd let him be,
Breathing air like you and me.
Right on!

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the judges do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!

They gave him ten for two,
They got old lee otis too!
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free now!

Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing ev'ryone?
Free john now, if you can,
From the clutches of the man.
Let him be, lift the lid,
Bring him home to his wife and kids.
Alright!

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the bastards do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!

I flew a kite, i held on tight to its string.
Each time i go anywhere, i held on tight.
In the middle of the night i woke up in fright,
Thinking maybe in my dream i let go of my kite.

When i was in a restaurant, talking to my friends,
Watching their mouths move faster and faster.
I thought of the kite that was flying in the sky
And made sure that my hand was holding the string.
That was a long time ago,
Many skies went by since then.
Now my hands stopped holding anything
And i've learnt to take a walk instead.

Then one day in the evening light,
I saw something strange shining bright.
The sky was dark, with swarms of larks,
And in the midst of it all, yes, it was my kite.

How did the kite get there, i'll never know,
Floating away among the clouds to where nobody knows.

I held my gun with both my hands,
Slowly aiming at the shining dot.
The shot went off, the dot blew off,
Since then i've never seen the kite again.

To know, know, know her
Is to love, love, love her
Ev'ryone said there'll come a day
When i, i walk along side of her.
Yeah! just to know, know, know her
Is to love, love, love her.
You know that i do,
You know that i do,
Yeah, i do, oh, i do.

Why, why can't she see?
Oh, how, how blind can she be?
Some day she'll see
That she was meant just for me, oh yeah.

To know, know, know her
Is to love, love, love her.
'just, just to see her smile,
Makes my life worth while.
Yeah, just to know, just to know her,
You know, is to love, love, love, love her.
You know that i do,
You know that i do,
Yeah, i do.

Close your eyes, have no fear,
The monster's gone, he's on the run,
And your daddy's here.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.

Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
Ev'ry day, in ev'ry way
It's getting better and better.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.

Out on the ocean, sailing away,
I can hardly wait to see you come of age
But i guess we'll both just have to be patient.
'cause it's a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe,
Yes, it's a long way to go but in the meantime.

Before you cross the street, take my hand,
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.

Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
Ev'ry day, in ev'ry way
It's getting better and better.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Darling, darling, darling, darling, sean.


Good night, sean,

Open, open, oooh -
Open, open, ooh!

Hey, yoko!

Imagine a grapefruit and squeeze it on me.

Ah!

You say mustn't do this and that,
You say can't do this and that
While you're losing your pants in a bullet-proof car,
Losing your hair in a downtown bar.
Oh, forget it, just forget it,
It's the curse, you're my curse, it could be worse.

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh - listen!

You say mustn't have this and that,
You say can't have this and that
While you're losing your apple and squeezing our balls,
Losing your mind and crawling up the walls.
Oh, forget it, just forget it,
It's the curse, you're my curse, it could be worse.

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh -

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh - listen!

Ooh -
Oh yeah, do you wanna touch me, oh yeah
Do you wanna break your mind, boy?

?

You're a dildo, i'm a whore,
I'm a barbie, you're a hore.
Living in a glass house, having fun,
Lying in a glass house watching the sun.
Forget it, just forget it,
It's the curse, you are my curse, it could be worse.

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh -
Ooh -

Ooh -
