Liberation

By w. wordsworth

I travelled among unknown men,
In lands beyond the sea;
Nor, england did i know till then
What love i bore to thee.

'tis past, that melancholy dream!
Nor will i quit thy shore
A second time; for still i seem
To love thee more and more.

Among thy mountains did i feel
The joy of my desire;
And she i cherished turned her wheel
Beside an english fire.

Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed,
The bowers where lucy played;
And thine too is the last green field
That lucy's eyes surveyed.

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of dove,
A maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love:

A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye
-fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.

She lived unknown, and few could know
When lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave and, oh,
The difference to me

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears;
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled around in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.

Please don't look at me that way
You'll only make me want to say
Something i will regret
You are april you are may
What a stupid thing to say
Just forgive me and forget
That i ever opened my mouth
And let it all come out
Let it all flood out

I am worried for your health
Put something warm around yourself
Don't let your feet get wet
I'm in love and i'm in pain
If i say something stupid again
Oh just forgive me and forget
That i ever opened my mouth
And let it all come out
Let it all flood out
Queen of the south
She has opened my mouth
And let it all come out
Let it all flood out

Something is getting in the way
What it is i cannot say
I wish we had never met

Bernice bobs her hair in the barber's in the square
All her new-found friends are there to see it done
Bernice bobs her hair
She's been driven to despair
'cause her cousin doesn't care about anyone

Her hair was long
Her hair was dark
Her hair flowed down her back
And now it lies upon the floor
Bernice runs out the door

Marjorie had told her what to wear to the parties
Marjorie had told her what to say to the boys
Now marjorie was jealous of her social advances
And presented her with this choice

"bernice bob your hair
You've persistently declared this intention
Do you dare to disagree?"
So bernice bobs her hair and is instantly ensnared
In the trap so well prepared by marjorie

When i fall asleep it could be forever
So i'll never fall asleep again
When i fall apart put me back together
And my life will be complete

Maybe it's tonight
Maybe tomorrow night
Next week
Next month
Next year
We've only time to fear

When i fall behind in the quest for pleasure
I shall treasure this short time with you
We shall not be chained
We shall not be tethered
And we'll never be unkind

If i fall in love it could be forever
So i'll never fall in love
But the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is when i might fall in love with you
Fall in love with you

We took your daddy's car
And drove it to the sea
We fooled around for hours
And then when we got tired and it got dark
We found a place to park
And we watched the sun set fire to the sea

Can you feel the sadness in our love?
It's the only kind we're worthy of
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?

We took your daddy's car
And drove it into town
We steamed into a bar
And we bought the biggest bottle of champagne
And driving through the rain we sang
'god bless this car and all who sail in her!'

We took your daddy's car
And wrapped it round a tree
We didn't know what for
We didn't feel like driving any more
We are driving from the day we are born

I... i was born yesterday
And i believe all that you say
I have no choice
I must obey you
Is this the first or the second day
Of the rest of my life?
Well hey
Why should i care either way
If what you say is true?

Saturday morning, 18th of december
I cannot remember
The last time that i saw such a young ballerina
In love with the loveless
In tune with a tuneless old upright piano
Standing en pointe
Going through each position with gentle precision
She measures each movement
Her classical features and elegant waistline
Are going to waste as she pleases her parents

What if they died on the road to rathmines
Where a dog in two minds times his run to perfection
An orphan at last
She'd be sick in the loo-bowl
Then go to the funeral and cry by the graveside
Then she would sleep with the first man she sees
And she'd catch some disease
Which she would give to her doctor
She'd cook her own breakfast and she'd cook his as well
Yeah and they'd both get on swell
Even though he was married

You are a part of me
I am a part of you
Why should i let you walk all over me?
All over me

Are you ready?
Ok, let's do it
1,2,3,4
Woo, ah ha, yeah
Ba ba da ba da ba da ba da
Oh yeah

Laugh at the tears you're crying
Smile while your head explodes
Y'don't have to take this lying down
So blow your nose baby
And just get your fingers clicking
To the rhythm and the rhyme
Otherwise you'll just be kicking around
And that's a crime

How can you talk that way
On such a lovely day?
When sunshine comes your way
It's time to make some hay

I fall for this season every time
When it's hot and everybody smiles
I can't help myself
I'm in love with the summertime
Even when i get hay-fever i find
I may sneeze but i don't really mind
As long as i'm in love with the summertime

Oh stop your belly-aching
We all know what it's like
There ain't a pill i haven't taken i guess
But that's alright baby
'cause your daddy's car is waiting
To take us to the sea
She feels like celebrating life
And so should we

How can you talk that way
On such a lovely day?
When sunshine comes your way
It's time to make some hay

I fall for this season every time
When it's hot and everybody smiles
I can't help myself
I'm in love with the summertime
Even when i get hay-fever i find
I may sneeze but i don't really mind
As long as i'm in love with the summertime
Clap your hands!

(clap clap!)
