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?

-"okay, we're just sittin' in the la la. okay, we'll do that."

One, two, three, four.


Sittin' in the la la,
Waitin' for the ya ya, ah-mm-mm;
Sittin' in the la la,
Waitin' for the ya ya, ah-mm-mm.
It may sound funny,
But it's all right, honey, ah-ha-mm.

Hey, baby, worry, don't make me worry, ah-ha-ha;
Hey, baby, hurry, don't make me worry, mm-ha-ha.
It may sound funny, but it's only...

Another version
-------------------------------------------------
Well, i'm sittin' in the la la,
Waitin' for my ya ya, ah ha;
I'm sittin' in the la la
Waitin' for the ya ya, ah ha.
It may sound funny,
But i don't believe she's comin', no, no.

Hey, baby, hurry,
Don't make me worry, no;
Hey, baby, hurry,
Don't make me worry, ah, ah, ah.
You know that i love you,
Yes, i love you, ah, ah.

Uh!

Well, i'm sittin' in the la la,
Waitin' for my ya ya, ah ha;

Oh!

Hey, baby, hurry,
Don't make me worry, no, no;
Hey, baby, hurry,
Don't make me worry, no, no.
You know that i love you,
Always thinkin' of you, yeah, yeah.

Hey, hey, rock!

Rock!

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?

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.

Oh, please don't give me that!

Yes, i'm a witch,
I'm a bitch
I don't care what you say,
My voice is real.
My voice speaks truth,
I don't fit in your ways.

I'm not gonna die for you,
You might as well face the truth,
I'm gonna stick around for quite awhile.

We're gonna say,
We're gonna try,
We're gonna try it our way.
We've been repressed,
We've been depressed,
Suppression all the way.

We're not gonna die for you,
We're not seeking vengeance,
But we're not gonna kill ourselves for your convenience.

Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.
Each time we close our minds to how we feel, we're dying.
Each time we gotta do what we wanna do, we're living.
Each time we're open to what we see and hear, we're living.

We'll free you from the getthos of your minds,
We'll free you from your fears and binds,
We know you want things to stay as it is,
It's gonna change, baby.

It's gonna change, baby doll,
It's gonna change, honey ball,
It's gonna change, sugar cane,
It's gonna change, sweetie legs.
So don't try to make cock-pecked people out of us.

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.

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

Hey, hey!

It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain like you've never seen before.
(it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain)
It's like the heaven packed out, the sky fell out,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

You say life is a bowl of cherries,
You give me a bowl of pits.
The pits will grow into trees one day,
I'm getting my cherries anyway. (maybe so, maybe so)
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause i know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

You say life is a bowl of cherries,
While trying to hide your bowl of pits.
Don't tip my bowl, don't crush my cherries,
One day you'll get your trees and all. (yes, i know, yes i know))
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause i know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.

Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

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,

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.

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.

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.

1692, six in the morning of june,
Sally kegley, age thirty-four,
Closed her diary she'd kept for two scores.

Salem, salem, witches must be hung.

Let my daughter burn my book,
Let her learn to sew and cook.
Teach her not to read but weave,
Ask her not to speak but weep.

Salem, salem, witches must be hung.

Sally kegley knows how to cure the ill,
Sally kegley sees through us at will.

Salem, salem, witches must be hung.

All the town's people rushing to the hill,
Their eyes shining, ready for the kill.
Sally's flesh bound to the cross,
Her eyes searching for the ones who are close.

Oh, why? oh, why? oh, why? oh, why?
Oh, why? why? why? why? why? why? why?
Help! help! help! help!
Help! help! help! help!
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang,
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang,
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang,
Must kill, must hang...

Your skin, i even dream about it.

In a lifetime,
No matter how many times we meet,
It's not enough.

In many lifetimes,
No matter how many times we meet,
It's not enough.

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.

Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, baby?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really be, really, babe?

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?

Tra-la-la-la-la.

You're my fairy,
You give me ev'rything
I ever wanted from life.
Have i made a wish and is that why i have you?
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in pumpkins that turn into princesses
And frogs that turn into princes.
We believe in the moons that smile on us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, i'm so pretty,
You're so dizzy
And we're so happy ev'ry day.
Let's make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

I'm in your pocket,
You're in my locket
And we're so lucky in ev'ry way.
We make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in houses built in the sky,
And love that lift us high.
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulder
And brings our shadows together.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, our hearts are one,
Our bodies, too
And it's so good, mm, ev'rytime.
We make a wish and let it come true for you, too.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Happy birthday, my love,
I'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything in my magic power.
So make a wish and i'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la.

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,

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 love you, earth, you are beautiful,
I love the way you are.
I know i never said it to you,
But i wanna say it now.
I love you, i love you, i love you, earth.
I love you, i love you, i love you now.

I love you, earth, you are beautiful,
I love the way you shine.
I love your valleys, i love your mornings,
In fact i love you ev'ry day.
I know i never said it to you,
Why, i'd never know.
Over blue mountains, over green fields,
I wanna scream about it now.

I love you, i love you, i love you, earth.
I love you, i love you, i love you now.

You are our meeting point of infinity,
You are our turning point in eternity.

I love you, (i love you) i love you (i love you) i love you, earth.
I love you, (i love you) i love you (i love you) i love you now.
I love you, (i love you) i love you (i love you) i love you, earth.
I love you, (i love you) i love you (i love you) i love you now.

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 -

So long ago, was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes, i know,
It seemed so very real,
It seemed so real to me.

Took a walk down the street,
To the heat whispered trees,
I thought i could hear, hear, hear, hear,
Somebody call out my name, (john)
As it started to rain, (john)
Two spirits dancing so strange.

Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.

Dream, dream away, magic in the air,
Was magic in the air.
I believe, yes, i believe,
More i cannot say,
What more can i say?

On the river of sound,
Thru the merry go round, round,
I thought i could feel, feel, feel, feel,
Music touching my soul,
Something warm, sudden cold,
The spirit dance was unfolding.

Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.

Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa.

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.

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.

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.

God is a concept
By which we measure our pain.

I'll say it again:

God is a concept
By which we measure our pain,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in i-ching,
Don't believe in bible,
Don't believe in tarot,
Don't believe in hitler,
Don't believe in jesus,
I don't believe in kennedy,
I don't believe in buddah,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in elvis,
I don't believe in zimmerman
I don't believe in beatles.
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me.

And that's reality.

The dream is over,
What can i say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday.

I was the dreamweaver
But now i'm reborn.
I was the walrus
But now i'm john.
And so, dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

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.

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.

It's been very hard
But it's getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for a while.

The leaves are shining in the sun,
And i'm smiling inside.
You and i watching each other on a street corner,
Cars and buses and planes and people go by.
But we don't care, we wanna know,
Wanna know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time. (yeh!)

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

It's been very rough,
But it's getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

The streams are twinkling in the sun
And i'm smiling inside.
You and i walking together 'round the street corner.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over.

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 -

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no,
Uh-ah, uh-ah, aha-ah-ah...
Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
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.

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car.
People watching her with tender eyes,
Friends whispering in kindly words,
Children running, waving hands,
Telling each other, how pretty she is.

Coffin car, she likes to ride a coffin car.
Friends making ways for the first time,
People throwing kisses for the first time,
Showering flowers, ringing bells,
Telling each other, how nice she is.

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car.
Wives showing tears for the first time,
Husband taking their hats off for the first time,
Crushing their handkerchiefs, rubbing their nose,
Telling each other, how good she is.

Half the world is dead anyway,
The other half is asleep.
And life is killing her,
Telling her to join the dead.

So ev'ry day, she likes to ride a coffin car,
A flower covered coffin car,
Pretending she was dead.

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.

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.

Are we gonna keep pushing our children to drugs?
Are we gonna keep driving them insane?
Are we gonna keep laying empty words and fists?
Are we gonna be remembered as the century that failed?

People of america, when will we learn?
It's now or never, there's no time to lose.

Are we gonna keep sending our youths to war?
Are we gonna keep scaring rice fields and infants?
Are we gonna keep watching dead bodies over dinner?
Are we gonna be known as the century that kills?

People of america, when will we stop?
It's no or never, there's no time to waste.

Are we gonna keep pretending things are alright?
Are we gonna keep our mouths closed just in case?
Are we gonna keep putting off until it's too late?
Are we gonna be known as the century of fear?

People of america, when will we see?
It's now or never, we've no time to lose.

People of america, when will we see?
It's now or never, we've no time to lose.

Are we gonna keep digging oil wells and gold?
Are we gonna keep shooting the ones that tries to change?
Are we gonna keep thinking it won't happen to us?
Are we gonna be known as the century that kills?

People of america, please, listen to your soul,
We can change the times to century of hope.

'cause dream you dream alone is only a dream,
But dream we dream together is reality.

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, 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.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So i can take your hand and stroll about.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go on the streets and see the people smile.

Give me your hand,
So i could tell you that things will be alright.
The room's still dark,
But it won't be so long,
And i can take you outside.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the park and roll about.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the docks and watch the boats go by.

Come on, love, give me your hand,
And things will be alright.
The room's still cold,
But it won't be so long,
That we can go outside.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So i could see your hair shining in the air.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So i can see the sky reflected in your eyes.

Come on, love, don't be depressed,
Things will be alright.
The room's too low,
But it won't be so long,
That we can be outside.

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,

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.

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.

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?

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.

I was sitting in the field, feeling the grass.
Counting the stars as they come out.
Feeling (feeling) the breeze, (feeling the breeze)
Feeling (feeling) the spring. (feeling the spring)
Suddenly i noticed there wasn't light anymore.

Run, run, run, run, run to the light,
Run, run, run, run, run for your life.

I tumbled on roots, stumbled on stones.
Lost my marbles, stepped on my glasses.
Feeling (feeling) the air, (feeling the air)
Feeling (feeling) the wind. (feeling the wind)
Suddenly i noticed it wasn't fun anymore.

Run, run, run, run, run towards the light,
Run, run, run, run, run for your life.

I came out of the darkness into the house,
The lights were left on but nobody around.
Feeling (feeling) the room, (feeling the room)
Feeling (feeling) the space. (feeling the space)
Suddenly i noticed it wasn't spring anymore.

"ah, remember this?
Why, i must have been thirteen when this came out!
Or was it fourteen?
Or was it twenty-two?
I could have been twelve actually."

Just because you left and said goodbye,
Do you think that i will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, i would rather let you go.

Just because i want someone who's kind,
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?

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.

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,
Shake, oh, shake, shake.
Aching, aching, aching, aching, aching,

Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy and he went to..."

- "mummy...you should remember this more because d'you know why?"
- "why?"
- "i learnt it from my daddy, you know."
- "umm-umm."
- "hah-hah."

- "once there was this little boy who asked his father
To tell him that old, old, old, old, old, old story.
Once upon a time there was this little boy who said,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once upon..."

It can end...it's just a little story."

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!"

We go back in the past just once.
You might remember this better than i do, actually.
Okay? something about a "flat top", that's all i know.

One, two, a one, two, three, four!

He got hair down to his knee.
Got to be a joker, 'cause he's so hard to please.

Shoot!
Shoot!

He wear no shoeshine,
He got walrus gumboot,
He got monkey fingers,
He shoot coca cola,
He say, "i know you, you know me.
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free."

Come together,
Right now,
Over you.

He bag production,
He got ono sideboard,
He one spinal cracker,
He got early what?
'cause he say hair beneath, under his feet,
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease.

Come together,
Right now,
Over me.

(shoot!)
(shoot!)
(shoot!)

Ow!

He roller coaster,
He got early warning,
He got muddy water,
He one mojo filter,
He say, "one and one and one is three."
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see.

Come together,
Right now,
Over me,
Over you,
Over there.

Come together,
Come together,
Come together,
Come together, right!


Thank you, thank you.

Two, one, two, three, four.

Forgive me, my little flower princess
For crushing your delicateness.
Forgive me,
Uh, uh, uh, forgive me.

Forgive me, my little flower princess
...selfishness.
Forgive me,
Forgive me.

And i know there is no way to repay you,
Whatever it takes i will try to,
The rest of my life i will thank you,
Thank you, thank you,

If you forgive me, my little flower princess,
Never too late, unless...
You can for...
Mm, mm...

Give me just one more chance and i'll show you,
Take up the dance where we left off,
The rest of our life is the...
My little...

I'm home!

A one, a two, a one, two, three, four!

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 stepping out.

Baby's sleeping, the cats have all been blessed,
Ain't nothing doing on tv. (some old repeat!)
Put on my spacesuit, i got to look my best,
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!

One more!

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

Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is, think about it.
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Think about it, do something about it.

We make her paint her face and dance,
If she won't be a slave and say that she don't love us.
If she's real, we say she's tryin' to be a man,
While puttin' her down we pretend that she's above us.

Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave of the slaves,
Oh yeah, better scream about it, yeah!

We make her bear and raise our children,
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen.
We tell her home is the only place she should be,
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend.

Oh, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave,
Yeah, all right.

Hit it!

We insult her ev'ry day on tv,
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence.
When she's young, we kill her will to be free,
While tellin' her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb.

Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave to the slaves,
Yes, she is,
If you believe, we'd better scream about it!
Uh, uh, uh, hey, hey.

We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance.

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,

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,

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,

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.

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)

Incantation. (oo-oo-oo)

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.

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.

-"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 -
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?

(exorcise institution)
(exercise intuition)
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

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.

Don't be afraid,
It's just the wind and light.
Don't be afraid,
This house is very strange.
In the morning we'll be gone, don't be afraid.

We'll watch the dawn till the sun comes up,
Drinking coffee from our favourite cup.
Girl, you've been good to me so don't be afraid tonight.

Don't be afraid,
It's just the cats at play.
Don't be afraid,
They do it night and day, how very strange.
They've gone by the morning so don't be afraid of me.

We'll dream around till the dawn comes up,
Drinking coffee from our favourite cup.
Girl, you've been good to me, don't be afraid tonight.

Don't be afraid,
Don't be afraid,
(scat sing) don't be afraid,
Mr. hyde, he's really gone away
Won't be back till next full moon
So we can bill and spoon
In june and croon, be-woon, be-woon, be
Can you stand it?

Duet with elton john


Whatever gets you through the night,
'salright, 'salright.
Bet your money or your life,
'salright, 'salright.
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers,
Oh no, oh no.

Whatever gets you through the night,
'salright, 'salright.
Do it wrong or do it right,
It's alright, 'salright.
Don't need a watch to waste your time,
Oh no, oh no.

Hold me, darlin', come on, listen to me,
I won't do you no harm.
Trust me, darlin', come on, listen to me,
Come on, listen to me,
Come on, listen, listen.

Whatever gets you to the light,
'salright, 'salright.
Out the blue or out of sight,
'salright, 'salright.
Don't need a gun to blow your mind

Hold me, darlin', come on, listen to me,
I won't do you no harm.
Trust me, darlin', come on, listen to me,
Come on, listen to me,
Come on, listen, listen.

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!

Mother, you had me but i never had you.

Goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye, goodbye.

So i, i just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.

All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.

All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.

Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.

I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.

All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
All you really needed to do is maybe some love.

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.
