Mrs. lennon, o' mrs. lennon,
Checking the sky to see if there's no clouds.
There's no clouds,
O' then, i guess it must be alright.

Mrs. lennon, o' mrs. lennon,
Making the tea and watching the sea.
There's no waves,
O' then, i guess it must be alright.

Silver spoon, o' silver spoon,
I lost my silver spoon.

And our children, o' our children,
Did they have to go to war?
Yes, my love, it's okay,
Half the world is always killed you know.

Husband john extended his hand,
Extended his hand to his wife.
And he finds, and suddenly he finds
That he has no hands.

They've lost their bodies!
They've lost their bodies!
Yes, they lost their bodies.

Neither of them, o' neither of them
Never left each other.
Yes, my love, it's okay,
Half the world is always dying you know.

Will you touch me, will you touch me,
When my body's full of fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me,
When my body's so cold?

Nothing short of the softest word can reach me now.
Nothing but the warmest heart can touch me now.

Will you hold me, will you hold me,
When my mind is full of fears?
Will you kiss me, will you kiss me,
When my mind is so down?

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
Nothing in the world can open my heart but some kindness.

Will you touch me, will you touch me,
When i'm shaking in fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me,
When i'm trembling with tears?

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
And nothing in the world can open my heart but your kindness.

Mm -

There's no confusion.
We're all together.

As recorded by david bowie


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?

I know you now for a thousand years,
Your body still feels nice and warm to me.
The sun is old, the winter's cold,
The lake is shining like a drop of buddha's tears.
The mountains lie in a distance
Like the future we'd never reach
And i kept my warmth with your body close.

The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking on the hillside like a leftover timebomb.

I know you now for what you are,
And my mind still goes through ups and downs with yours.
The moon is clear, the room is bare,
The bed is shining like an old scripture
That's never been opened before
And i keep my warmth with your mind close.

The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking in a farmhouse like a forgotten timebomb.

One day we discovered that the clock was not ticking anymore,
And our bodies kept spreading rapidly like a very, very fine tissue
Until it stretched over the whole wide world.

Yang yang holds on to a giant phone,
Yang yang's soft voice goes on and on,
I hate you, i hate you, where did it go wrong?
Yangyang goes talking to himself on the phone.

Yang yang sends his men pebbles and stones,
Yang yang rips his women down to the bones.
I own you, i own you, so give us a song,
Yangyang goes talking to his world on the phone.

Yang yang's born with a phone cord 'round his neck,
Yang yang never fails to stick to his kick.
I want you, i want you, you're making me sick.
But yangyang, the chord's never long enough
To reach your mommy's trick.

Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang, snap out,
Give up, cut out,
Tune up and join us,
Join the revolution,
Join the revolution.

No kick is good enough for lifetime substitution,
No brick will give you a lifetime consolation.
And whether you dig it or not,
We outnumber you in population.
And leave your private institution,
Get down to real communication,
Leave your scene of destruction
And join us in revolution.

Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang, wake up,
Give up, cut out,
Come out and join us,
Join the revolution,
Join the revolution.

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.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between chairman mao and richard nixon
If we strip them naked.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between marylin monroe and lenny bruce
If we check their coffins.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between white house and hall of people
If we count their windows.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between raquel welch and jerry rubin
If we hear their heartbeat.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between eldridge cleaver and the queen of england
If we bottle their tears.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between manson and the pope
If we press their smile.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between you and me
If we show our dreams.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

Hey!

What's the diff'rence?

What's the diff'rence?
What's the diff'rence?
What's, what's oh, what's?

There's no diff'rence!
There's no diff'rence!
What's the diff'rence?

What's the diff'rence?

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.

-"one!"

Hey, hey!

Don't wanna be a drag,
Ev'rybody gotta bag.
I know you know
'bout the emperor's clothes.
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
Oh, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.

Ow!

Hey!

Well, it's saturday night and i just gotta rip it up,
Sunday morning, i just gotta give it up.

Come monday, mama, and i just gotta run away,
You know it's such a drag to face another day.
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
Oh, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.

Hey, hey!

Oh, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.

Come on, babe!
Hey, hey!
All right!

Hey, hey!
All right!

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....

Early in the morning i feel my pillow,
I listen to the soundless phone.

My thighs are sweaty, freezing inside,
Our bed's empty as ever.

What a bastard you are,
Leaving me all night missing you.

Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while,
See if i'm asleep or just closing my eyes.

I quickly get up and throw my pillows,
Throw an ashtray filled with butts.

Where were you all night if i may ask you so?
Though i don't care at all, i'd just like to know.

Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from,
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap.

You know half the world is occupied with you pigs,
I can always get another pig like you.
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me,
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?

But don't you be too happy,
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction,
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
To have some human conversation.

Then i'll glow, i'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax.
And i can walk out into the world, singing with my people.

But now i couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door,
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb.

Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard,
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?

Are you listening?

Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go,
I didn't mean it, i'm just in pain.

I'm sorry, i'm sorry.

The door is closed, she's left alone,
Making herself a breakfast.
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out,
Watching the trees grow day by day.

What a bastard the world is,
Taking my man away from me,
Taking the world away from me.

Female lib is nice for joan of arc,
But it's a long, long way for terry and jill.

Most of us were taught not to shout our will,
Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill.
And all of us live under the mercy of male society,
Thinking that their want is our need.

Catman, you're looking cool today,
We say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my hangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So keep your high-heel boots and your knee-high mind,
Come up to my pad and see my work,
Go for a meal and hear my joke,
Or get in a bag and take a poke,
But don't be too clever or we'll kick your fillies in.

Look out, look out,
The rosies are coming to town.
Look out, catman, look out, catman,
The rosies are flashing along.

Catman, we feel a fool today,
I say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my wangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So leave your well polished tail and your uptight suit,
Show us some funnies that are better than daddies,
Or bake us some cakes that are better than mommies,
Or give us your witties that are trapped in your willies,
But don't be too clever or we'll scratch your goodies out.

Watch out, watch out,
The rosies are riding the town.
Watch out, catman, watch out, catman,
The rosies are slashing about.

Catman, shining your tools today,
They say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my fangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So save your thigh high thoughts and your banana skin,
We'll burn your pansies and give you a bug,
We'll squeeze your lemon and give you a mug,
We'll cut your daisies and give you a slug,
And don't be too clever or we'll blow your sillies off.

Keep out, keep out,
The rosies are passing the town.
Keep out, catman, keep out, catman,
The rosies are bashing around.

Coochy coochy coo, bunny bunny boo, patti patti poo,
Catman! catman! where are you?

Don't be a prune, catman, give us all you've got.
Your blueberry eyes and your evergreen lies.
'cause after all, by this fall you might grow too old,
And you can't ask your mommy to use an old fruity in her pie.

Patter cake, patter cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as slow as you can.
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with 'o'
And put it in the oven for me and my mo.

Batter cake, batter cake, baker's girl,
Fake me a cake as fast as you curl.
Bat it, and whip it, and mark it with blood
And throw it in the oven with trickles and mud.

Wetter cake, wetter cake, baker's boy,
Make me a cake that's sweet as your toy.
Wet it, and slick it, and mark it with 'p'
And leave it in the oven for lizzie and me.

Catman! catman!
Hey, dumballs, get me a pair of rubber dolls, will you!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!

Man -
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!

"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.

I said yes, i said yes, i said yes,
I prayed a thousand times yes.
And the no that was hanging over the buildings
Faded like the moon at dawn.

When i was young i thought i was facing
A very aware world ahead,
I didn't know it was going to be
"beware of dogs" instead.

I said no, i said no, i said no,
I said no a million times to no.
But the yes that was in its last breath
Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu.

When i was young i didn't know
That one can only read life in braille,
I was still struggling to catch life on its tail.

I said why, i said why, i said why,
I asked why for the billionth time.
And my bone slowly lost its moist
Like a leftover coke bottle on the street.

Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing on the square,
That's my bone.
It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud,
Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard.

I said yes, i said yes, i said yes,
I prayed a thousand times yes.
And the no that was hanging over faded.

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...

Bless you for your anger,
It's a sign of rising energy,
Direct not to your family,
Waste not on your enemy.
If you turn it to love,
It'll bring you happiness,
Bless you for your anger,
It's a sign of rising energy.

Bless you for your sorrow,
It's a sign of vulnerability,
Direct not to your family,
Direct not to yourself.
If you turn it to love,
It'll give you happiness,
Bless you for your sorrow,
It's a sign of vulnerability.

Bless you, bless you, bless you,
For the times you feel no love.
Open your heart to breath and live,
In time you'll find love in you.

Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity,
Direct not to your family,
Direct not to the world.
If you turn it to love,
You'll find your happiness,
Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity.

Bless you, bless you, bless you,
Bless you for what you are.
Just remember you are loved,
Remember, i love you.

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.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,

I wonder why
I could never hate you
Even when you look away,
I always love you in my soul.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.

I tell you why
I could never hate you
Even when you're far away,
I know you love me in your soul.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.

Part of me will always be with you,
Part of you is growing in me.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.

We don't know how,
How to tell each other,
There's nothing we can do.
I saw your soul and you saw mine.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We always know inside our soul that love is there.

You gotta eat,
You gotta drink,
You gotta feel something,
You gotta worry.

But it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

You gotta live,
You gotta love,
You gotta be somebody,
You gotta shove.

But you know it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

But when it's good,
It's really good.
And when i hold you in my arms, baby,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

Ow!

You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.

But you know, it's hard,
It's hard to get hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

Ow!

You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.

But you know, it's hard,
It's so hard to get hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

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

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.

It's you and i, feeling good,
Watching the sky turn to sunrise pink.
The stars are fading, saying good night,
Throwing us a big fat wink.

It's you and i, feeling good,
This morning we're up so early and bright.
The clouds are smiling, saying good night,
We know it's gonna be right.

What are we doing, you and i?
Are we waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?
Maybe we should take five and go for a ride,
See what the world is up to, you and i?

I know you're still thinking of that empty room behind,
One day we'll air it and fill it with sunshine.
Now you know it's just you and i
And that's no reason to cry.
So hope, skip and run, let's have some fun,
You and i, (you and i) you and i. (you and i)

You just turned nine, and we're both fine,
You and, you and i.

(you and i, you and i, you and i)
(you and i, you and i, you and i)
(you and i, you and i, you and i)
(you and i, you and i, you and i)
(you and i, you and i, you and i)

-"calling earth! calling earth!"
-"eh...who?"
-"are you listening? are you listening?"
-"is this a long distance call?"
-"mommy?"
-"oh, good, you're on, too, sean, stay on, something's wrong with this..."
-"don't be afraid! don't be afraid!"
-"you sound familiar, you sound like...sound like me actually."
-"that's because we conditioned our vibrations to yours."
'"aha! are you getting that, sean?"
-"you will not blow up earth! you will not blow up earth!"
-"oh, that's good to know."
-"you are wisdom, you are love."

Human civilization is in a state of hibernation,
We'll grow to know the planets full distribution.
The world as our reflection will regain its circulation,
Our life span will meet our life plan of starpeace.

Human civilization is in a state of isolation,
We'll learn to reach out for terrestrial communications.
We'll make our first migration from earth to other constellations,
Our life span will meet out life plane of starpeace.

Love is our energy source, wisdom is our power source.
Health is our nature resource,
Growth is our future resource.

Join the state of the universe,
United state of peace.
Join the state of the universe,
United state of peace.

Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace, i see you growing,
Starpeace.

-"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'

Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see.

I see the wind, oh, i see the trees,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I see the clouds, oh, i see the sky,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.

Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My mind is wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My mind can feel.

I feel sorrow, oh, i feel dreams,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I feel life, oh, i feel love,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.

I'm waiting for a boat to help me out of here - mm,
Waiting for a boat to help me out.
The boat that reached my shore was a toyboat - mm,
Waiting for a boat to help me out.

I'm dreaming of a lake i've never seen before - mm,
I'm dreaming of a lake i've never seen.
The lake i've seen last was a picture lake - mm,
Dreaming of a lake i've never seen.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

I'm thinking of a castle on a top a hill - mm,
Thinking of a castle on a top a hill.
The castle i've been to was full of flies - mm,
Thinking of a castle on a top a hill.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

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.

Let me count the ways how i love you,
It's like that gentle wind you feel at dawn,
It's like that first sun that hits the dew,
It's like that cloud with a gold lining telling us softly
That it'll be a good day, a good day for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let me count the ways how i miss you,
It's like that oak tree in my childhood garden,
It's like that first summer i spent in egypt,
It's like that warm evening you read to me
Both knowing deeply that it's a good time,
A good time for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let me count the ways how i see you,
It's like that lake in the mountain you heard about,
It's like that autumn sky that stays so blue,
It's like that air around me that holds me so gently,
Whispering strongly
That you're always there, always for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Potbelly rocker holding his joker
But don't know how to lay a poker.
He carries a guitar, holds on to his bars,
Trying to get his head for the future rock.

Potdizzy rocker gets a rockstockbroker
Who claims he's only a fumble harmer.
With his potfull of stars and handful of cars,
Trying to make his bread from the future stock.

Rocksuck doo-doo,
With a big fat choo-choo,
Don't be a coo-coo.
Gotta get ready for the future shock.

Pothappy rocker, a true blue lover.
His life is full of painful corners.
He blows his horn to the world of thorns,
Trying to make his bed for the future shock,

Potluck lulu
With a hot belly doo-doo,
Don't be a boo-boo.
Gotta get 'em ready for the future shock.

Well, i'm a-cookin',
Just a-cookin',
Cookin' in the kitchen of love,
Cookin' in the kitchen of love,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
I wanna do it, - cookin'.

Well, i'm a-truckin',
Just a-truckin',
Truckin' down the highway of love,
Truckin' down the highway of life,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
Come watch me do it, - truckin'.

Well, we're gonna have a party, (bring yourself)
We're gonna have a party, (just can't get enough)
We're gonna have a party and do some layin' down.

Well, i'm a-rockin',
Just a-rockin',
I'm rockin' in the cradle of love,
Rockin' in the cradle of life,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
Come help me do it, - rockin'.

Well, we're gonna have a party,
I said, we're gonna have a party,
We're gonna have a party and do some playin' 'round.

Well, it's got to be high, it's got to be low,
'cause in between we just don't go.
Just gotta sing, (oh!) just gotta dance,
Just gotta listen to the band.

(hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey)
(hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey)

Well, i'm a-dancin' (dancin')
Da-da-da-da-cin' (da-da-da-dancin')
Well, dancin' in the streets of love,
Dancin' in the streets of life,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
I can do it, - dancin'.

We're gonna have a party and do some layin' down.

I said, we're gonna have a party, (just can't get enough)
Come on, let's have a party and do some layin' down.

Oh, lord! i said we're gonna have such a beautiful party!

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.

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.

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,

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!

"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.

We were waiting for peter, the dealer,
He comes in the evening when we're fussing in bed.
He says, "good morning, here's your breakfast",
And give us plates of stone.
Take a pinta blood each from us to give to the poor.

We count the windows in the cities and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it in the cupboard when you're out.

We were waiting for peter, the wheeler,
He comes in the morning when we're fast asleep.
Gives us a trip that's spending hundred years in a day,
And takes a bone each from us to give to the dogs.

We count the wrinkles on the globe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it on the shelf when you rap.

We were waiting for peter, the blower,
He comes in when we're fixing snow on rock.
Gives us orange juice laced with sunshine and spring,
And takes a heart each from us to give to the world.

We count the memories that are lost and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
Throw it in the ocean when you go.

We were waiting for peter, the weaver,
He comes in a flash when we're wide awake.
Says the world can't give us answers
'cause it's stuttering in its mind.
Takes a head each off us to give us some peace.

We count the lights in the universe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our mother who art of the universe,
Hallow be thy name.
Thy wisdom reign, thy will is done,
As it is to be.

You gave us life and protection,
And see us through our confusion.
Teach us love and freedom,
As it is to be.

For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.

For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory.

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.

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,

Hold your heart, hold your life.

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,

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."

What a waste of human power,
What a waste of human lives.
Shoot the pris'ners in the towers,
Forty-three poor widowed wives.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Media blames it on the pris'ners,
But the pris'ners did not kill.
"rockefeller pulled the trigger,"
That is what the people feel.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Free all pris'ners, jail all judges,
Free all pris'ners ev'rywhere.
All they want is truth and justice,
All the need is love and care.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

They all live in suffocation,
Let's not watch them die in sorrow. (yeh!)
Now's the time for revolution,
Give them all a chance to grow.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Come together, join the movement,
Take a stand for human rights.
Fear and hatred clouds our judgement,
Free us all from endless night.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Attica state, attica state,
We all live in attica state.

Attica state, attica state,
Attica, attica, attica state.

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)

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
Name got round a lot. could i have room service, please. do you want toast?

Yoko: just tea. which do you want, coffee or tea?

John: tea.

Yoko: tea.

John: two tea's please. yeah, 902 and some toast. yeah, brown toast.
Good morning. yeah, yeah. i know and some toast. brown toast. yeah. thank you. bye, bye.
Alright then....

John: hello, dog. it's beautiful no, no, no. it'll just take a lot of looking after. well
Think about you, amsterdam. it's a lovely dog, huh.

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.

Walking on thin ice,
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air.
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?

I gave you my knife,
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?

I may cry some day,
But the tears will dry whichever way.
And when our hearts return to ashes,
It'll be just a story,
It'll be just a story.

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

Ooh-ahooh...

"i knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake,
'course it was winter when all this was ice.
That's a hell of a thing to do, you know.
They say the lake is as big as the ocean.
I wonder if she knew about it?"

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

No!!

Let me take my scarf off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't help me, (help me)

No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't help me, (help me)

You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what you promised,
I know you didn't keep it.

Let me take my pants off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't hold me, (hold me)
I don't want it.
You're thinking of rock hudson when we do it. (let's do it!)

Let me take my ring off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't do it, (do it!)

You promised me, you promised me.

But i know we didn't keep it.

You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what we promised,
But i miss you!

Wake up in the morning, my hands cold in fear.
And midsummer new york my heart shakes in terror.
My heart, my hands, my legs, my mind,
Ev'rything i touch is shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.

Wake up in the morning, my bed's wet in sweat.
And midsummer new york, scream in the mirror.
And the door, and the chairs, and the floor, and the ceiling,
Ev'rything you see is aching, shaking, shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.
And you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.

Wake up in the morning, my mind's dried up in pain.
Midsummer new york's waiting for the rain.
The window, the trees, the park, the sun,
The whole world' s shaking, is shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.

Shake, oh, shake, oh, shake,

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 was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me any more.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.

Oh, i didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was tryin' to catch your eyes,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide.
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,
Watch out,
I'm just a jealous guy,
Look out, babe,
I'm just a jealous guy.

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

I know what's coming down
And i know where it's coming from.
And i know and i'm sorry, yes, i am,
But i never could speak my mind.

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

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

Today,
I love you more than yesterday, yeh,
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,
As we share in each other's mind.

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

Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying.

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!!

Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru this god awful loneliness,
A natural high butterfly.
Oh, i, i need. need, need her.

Just like a willow tree,
A breath of spring, you see.
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me,
She makes me sweat, forget who i am.
Oh i, i need, need, need her.

Well, i was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
'cause i thought i could never be surprised.

But could it be that i bit my own tongue?
Mm-hmm,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.

A bird of paradise,
Sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that i, oh, i love, love, love her.

- "stay on your d! - d! - stay there. hey!"

Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Such sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.

- "ok, thank you! stop! let me just check it"

In this approximately infinite universe,
I know a girl who's in constant hell.
No love or pill could keep her cool,
'cause there's a thousand holes in her heart.

And the wind of the past blows through her heart,
Reminding her of the people she killed.
Wind of now blows off her cool,
Telling her there's something she's missed.

You know the town of sapporo, she says,
Where the men talk rough and never sing.
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream.

In this approximately infinite universe,
I know a girl who's raising constant hell.
No love or bottle could fix her good,
'cause there's a thousand holes in her head.

And the wind of the future blows through her head,
Saying there's no point of return.
The wind of the universe blows off her soul,
Telling her there's nowhere to go.

I wanna sleep, wanna sleep, she says,
And take her fix to bed.
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream.

Hey!

Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru this god awful loneliness,
A natural high butterfly.
Oh, i need. need, need her.

Just like a willow tree,
A breath of soaring, you see.
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me,
She makes me sweat and forget who i am, boy.
I need, need, need, need, need her.

Well, i was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
Well, i thought i could never be surprised.

But could it be that i bit my own tongue?
Oh yeah,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.

A bird of paradise,
The sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that i, i love, love, love, love, love her.
I love her,
I love her,
I love her,
I love her,
I love her.

Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love.


Ah, god, i love.

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.

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.

Baby carriage all over the city.

Baby carriage all over the city.

How can i go forward when i don't know which way i'm facing?
How can i go forward when i don't know which way to turn?
How can i go forward into something i'm not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no.

How can i have feelings when i don't know if it's a feeling?
How can i feel something if i just don't know how to feel?
How can i have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no,
Oh no.

You know life can be long,
And you got to be so strong.
And the world is so tough,
Sometimes i feel i've had enough.

How can i give love when i don't know what it is i'm giving?
How can i give love when i just don't know how to give?
How can i give love when love is something i ain't never had?
Oh no,
Oh no.

You know life can be long,
And you got to be so strong.
And the world is so tough,
Sometimes i feel i've had enough.

How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no.

If ya ever meet the sweet rolling thunder
(flying on the dead of the night)
Just call me if ya can't get his number
(watching how that rattle snake bites)
All he's got is real understanding,
Smokin' through his medicine head.
Watch him get down to the unreal voodoo
And shove it to the living dead.

Incantation, (oo-oo-oo)
(in-) incantation. (oo-oo-oo)

What's happenin,' found his face in a bad dream, momma?

Rolling thunder said, "ya got this one started"
What happened there, did the kid get high, high?
All the dog soldiers shootin' uncoke-a-cola
Get 'em dancin' 'til they lose their minds.

Incantation, (oo-oo-oo) ah, yeah!

My man is the best in the world,
He's got the sun in his heart and the moon in his soul.
His head's in the clouds, but his feet on the ground,
And when he speaks, all the birds come around.
I love you, i love you.

My man is the best in the world,
His eyes got the shine of the ancient stars,
His heartbeat is the beat of the ocean,
He smells like an aztec magic potion.
I love you, i love you.

Ah - ah - ah -

Babalu-babalu-babalu, i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, i love you, i love you.

My man is the best in the world,
He knows me like the palm of his hand.
When i'm good, he's so very good
And when i'm bad, he laughs and says, don't be sad.
I love you, i love you.

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
(i love you, i love you, i love you)

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
(i love you, i love you, i love you)

I'm a battleship, frozen by my mother's anger,
Anchored in the north pole sea.
I'm a sphinx, stamped on the hilton poster,
Hoping to see the desert.
I'm a woman without country or state.
Opening her head to the universe,
Hundred thousand people in me.
Ev'ry day they're growing,
Ev'ry day they're feeling.

He's an infant, blinded from his mother's sorrow,
Crawling in the bleeding sky.
He's a building, floating in spring air,
Hoping to open his windows.
He's a man, bound on earth soil,
Reaching his hands to the universe,
Hundred thousand people in him.
Ev'ry day they're feeling,
Ev'ry day they're growing.

Growing pain, growing joy,
Growing pain, growing joy.
Growing together, reaching each other.

Growing pain, growing joy,
Growing pain, growing joy.
Growing together, reaching each other.

Multicolor dreams.

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.

An endangered species?

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

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.

-"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.

Ah -

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.

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh....

This is hell!

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?

Living in a glass house, having fun,
Lying in a glass house watching the sun.
Forget it, just forget it,
