1. _ Have Mercy On The Criminal
Have you heard the dogs at night, Somewhere on the hill. Chasing some poor criminal, And I guess they're out to kill. Oh, there must be shackles, on his feet, And mother, in his eyes, stumbling through the devil-dark With the hound pack in full cry. Have mercy on the criminal, Who is running from the law, Are you blind to the Winds of change? Don't you hear him any more? Praying Lord you gotta help me, I am never gonna sin again. Just take, these chains From around my legs, Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend. Now have you ever seen The white teeth gleam, While you lie on a Cold damp ground. You're taking in the face of a rifle butt, While the wardens hold you down. And you're never seen a friend in years, Oh, it turns your heart to stone. You jump the walls, And the dogs run free, And the grave's gonna be your home. more free lyrics |

3. _ Honky Cat
When I look back Boy, I must have been green Boppin' in the country Fishin' in a stream Lookin' for an answer Trying' to find a sign Until I saw your city lights Honey, I was blind. They said, get back, Honky Cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good You better get back, Honky Cat Livin' in the city ain't where It's at It's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mine It's like tryin' to drink whisky from a bottle of wine Well I read some books and I read some magazines About those high class ladies Down in New Orleans And all the folks back home said I was a fool They said believe in the Lord Is the golden rule They said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm Livin' in the city, boy Is gonna break your heart But now can you stay when your heart says no How can you stop When your feet say go more free lyrics |
4. _ Belfast
Deep inside My soul fights a war I can't explain I can't cross over any more All I see are dirty faces Rain and wire And common sense in pieces But I try to see through Irish eyes, Belfast. Look outside Summer's lost and gone It's a long walk On a street of right and wrong In every inch of sadness Rock and tanks Go hand in hand with madness But I never saw a braver place, Belfast. And it's sad when they sing And hollow ears listen Of smokin black roses On the streets of Belfast And so say your lovers From under the flowers Every foot of this world Needs an inch of Belfast Who's to say On whom Heaven smiles Our different ways We try harder to recognize No more enchanted evenings The pubs are closed And all the ghosts are leaving But you'll never let them shut you down, Belfast. And it's sad when they sing And hollow ears listen Of smokin black roses On the streets of Belfast And so say your lovers From under the flowers Every foot of this world Needs an inch of Belfast The enemy is not at home A jealous green Streaks down this faulty diamond No bloody boots or crucifix Can ever hope to split this emerald island But I never saw a braver place, Belfast. more free lyrics |
5. _ Daniel
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane, I can see the read tail lights, heading for Spain, oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye. God, it looks like Daniel must be the clouds in my eyes. They say Spain is pretty, though I've never seen. Well, Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen, Oh, and he should know, he's been there enough. Lord I miss Daniel, Oh I miss him so much. Oh, Daniel my brother, you are older than me, do you still feel the pain, of the scars that won't heal? Your eyes have died, but you see more than I. Daniel, you're the star in the face of the sky. Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane, I can see the read tail lights, heading for Spain, oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye. God, it looks like Daniel must be the clouds in my eyes.

6. _ Talking Old Soldiers
Why hello, say can I buy you another glass of beer? Well thanks a lot, that's kind of you, It's nice to know you care These days there's so much going on No one seems to wanna know I may be just an old soldier to some But I know how it feels to grow old Yea that's right You can see me here most every night You'll always see me staring At the walls and at the lights Funny I remember oh it's years ago I'd say I'd stand at that bar With my friends who've passed away And drink three times the beer that I can drink today Yes I know how it feels to grow old I know what they're saying son There goes old mad Joe again Well, I maybe mad at that, I've seen enough To make a man go out his brains Well do they know what it's like To have a graveyard as a friend 'Cos that's where they are boy, all of them Don't seem likely I'll get friends like that again. Well it's time I moved off, But it's been great just listening to you And I might even see yer next time I'm passing through You're right there's so much going on No-one seems to wanna know So keep well, keep well old friend And have another drink on me Just ignore all the others, you've got your memories. more free lyrics |
7. _ Nikita
Hey Nikita is it cold In your little corner of the world You could roll around the world And never find a warmer soul to know Oh I saw you by the wall Ten of your tin soldiers in a row With eyes that looked like ice on fire The human heart a captive in the snow Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home I'll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita I need you so Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita you'll never know Do you ever dream of me Do you ever see the letters that I write When you look up through the wire Nikita do you count the stars at night And if there comes a time Guns and gates no longer hold you in And if you're free to make a choice Just look towards the west and find a friend more free lyrics |
8. _ Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
There's a calm surrender To the rush of day, When the heat of the rolling world Can be turned away An enchanted moment, And it sees me through It's enough for this restless warrior Just to be with you And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight, How it's laid to rest? It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best There's a time for ev'ryone, If they only learn Tthat the twisting kaleidoscope Moves us all in turn There's a rhyme and reason To the wild outdoors When the heart of this star-crossed voyager Beats in time with yours more free lyrics |
9. _ Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me I can't find, oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal more free lyrics |
10. _ Empty Garden
What happened here, As the New York sunset disappeared? I found an empty garden among the flagstones there. Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot, Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop. And now it all looks strange. It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain. And what's it for, This little empty garden by the brownstone door? And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more. Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot, Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop. And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed.... A gardener like that one, no one can replace. And I've been knocking, but no one answers. And I've been knocking, most all the day. Oh and I've been calling ,oh hey, hey, Johnny! Can't you come out to play? And through their tears, Some say he farmed his best in younger years. But he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hear. Who lived there? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot, Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop. Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls..... We hear, we hear your name..... And I've been knocking, but no one answers. And I've been knocking, most all the day. Oh and I've been calling ,oh hey, hey, Johnny! Can't you come out to play, In your empty garden? Johnny? Can't you come out to play, in your empty garden? more free lyrics |
11. _ I Need You To Turn To
You're not a ship to carry my life You are naked to my love in many lonely nights. I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here For I need your love. Your love PROTECTS my fears. (Chorus) And I wonder sometimes, and I know I'm unkind, But I need you to turn to when I act so blind. Oh I need you to turn to when I lose control You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold. Did you paint your smile on when I said I knew That my reason for living was for loving you We're related in feeling, but you're high above You're pure and you're gentle, with the grace of a dove.

Look at me twice with wildcat eyes Promise me everything Except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces Of crazy eyed past And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath Walking fingers run Hungry scratches left Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice A distant smile framed Her lips are soft and moist With whisper, whisper, whispering whispers CHORUS: And whisper in a rythym your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds Close to the bone Save heaven for lovers Leave me alone With your whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Whisper in rythym your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds Close to the bone Save heaven for lovers Leave me alone With your whisper, whisper, whisperin' Whisper in a rythym your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds Close to the bone Save heaven for lovers Leave me alone With your whisper, whisper, whispering whispers With your whispers With your whispers Oh oh oh Whispering whispers more free lyrics |

18. _ Amoreena
Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours Rolling through the hay like a puppy child And when it rains, the rain falls down Washing out the cattle town And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown And she dreams of crystal streams Of days gone by when we would lean, Laughing fit to burst upon each other I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening The fruit juice floating slowly, slowly, slowly Down the bronze of your body Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours Rolling through the hay like a puppy child And when it rains, the rain falls down Washing out the cattle town And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown And she dreams of crystal streams Of days gone by when we would lean, Laughing fit to burst upon each other Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey. more free lyrics |
19. _ Ticking
"An extremely quiet child" they called you in your school report "He's always taken interest in the subjects that he's taught" So what was it that brought the squad car screaming up your drive To notify your parents of the manner in which you died. At St. Patrick's every Sunday, Father Fletcher heard your sins "Oh, he's unconcerned with competition, he never cares to win" But blood stained a young hand that never held a gun And his parents never thought of him as their troubled son. "Now you'll never get to Heaven" Mama said. Remember Mama said Ticking, ticking "Grow up straight and true blue Run along to bed" Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking. They had you holed up in a downtown bar screaming for a priest Some gook said "His brains just snapped" then someone called the police You'd knifed a Negro waiter who had tried to calm you down Oh, you'd pulled a gun and told them all to lay still on the ground. Promising to hurt no-one, providing they were still A young man tried to make a break, with tear-filled eyes you killed That gun butt felt so smooth and warm cradled in your palm Oh, your childhood cried out in your head, "They mean to do you harm". "Don't ever ride on the devil's knee" Mama said Remember Mama said Ticking, ticking "Pay your penance well, my child Fear where angels tread" Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking. Within an hour the news had reached the media machine A male Caucasian with a gun had gone berserk in Queens' The area had been sealed off, the kids sent home from school Fourteen people lying dead in a bar they called the Kicking Mule. Oh, they pleaded to your sanity for the sake of those inside "Throw out your gun , walk out slow just keep your hands held high" But they pumped you full of rifle shells as you stepped out the door Oh, you danced in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law. "You've slept too long in silence" Mama said Remember Mama said Ticking, ticking "Crazy boy, you'll only wind up with strange notions in your head" Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking. more free lyrics |
20. _ Funeral For A Freind (Love Lies Bleeding)
The roses in the window box Have tilted to one side, Everything about this house Was born to grow and die. It doesn't seem a year ago To this very day You said I'm sorry honey, If I don't change the pace, I can't face another day. And love lies bleeding in my hand, It kills me to think of you with another man. I was playing rock-nproll and you were just a fan, But my guitar couldn't hold you So I spilt the band. Love lies bleeding in my hands I wonder if those changes Have left a scar on you, Like all the burning hoops of fire That you and I passed through. You're bluebird on a telegraph line I hope you're happy now, Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl You'll make it back somehow. more free lyrics |
21. _ Sad Songs
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain And ironing out the rough spots Is the hardest part when memories remain And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio `Cause from the lips of some old singer We can share the troubles we already know Turn them on, turn them on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don't you tune in and turn them on They reach into your room Just feel their gentle touch When all hope is gone Sad songs say so much If someone else is suffering enough to write it down When every single word makes sense Then it's easier to have those songs around The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you and it feels so good to hurt so bad And suffer just enough to sing the blues Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say so much more free lyrics |

She packed my bag last night pre-flight, Zero Hour, nine A.M. And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then. I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife. It's lonely out in space on such a timeless flight. And I think it's gonna be a long, long time till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home. Oh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket man, Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone. Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to raise them if you did. And all these science, I don't understand. It's just my job, five days a week, a rocket man.

23. _ Someone's Final Song
He died when the house was empty, When the maid had gone. He put a pen to paper for one final song. He wrote- 'Oh babe, it's the only way. I know it's wrong but I can't stand To go on living, to go on living, living life ths way. And I don't know what the time is, Or what the next line is. Or how you're going to take the news. But if I had my life again. Ooh ooh I wouldn't change a thing. I'd let nobody - I'd let nobody Stand inside my shoes. Oh something's gotten hold of me, This home is not the home it used to be. I've gathered dust like the dying flowers, And I've drunk myself sober - oh oh After hours and hours.' more free lyrics |

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside I'm not one of those, who can easily hide, I don't have much money, but boy I if did I'd buy a big house where we both could live. If I was a sculptor, but then again no, Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know i't not much, but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you. And you can tell everybody, this is your song It may be uite simple but now that it's done, I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world. I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite corss but the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song, It's for people like you, that keep it turned on. So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do you see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. And you can tell everybody, this is your song It may be uite simple but now that it's done, I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world.

32. _ Indian Sunset
As I awoke the evening with the smell of woodsmoke clinging. Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted teepee. Oh I wen to see my chieftain with my war lance and my woman. For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon me leaving. This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our Warlord's dead. Oh, he would not leave the chose ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns. Oh, great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young, I've read the writing of the smoke and breast-fed on the sound of drums. I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild. To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine. And now you ask that I should watch the red man's race be slowly crushed! What kind of words are these to hear from Yellow Dog, whom the white man fears? I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child. I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride. I got to search for the yellow moon and the Fathers of our sons, Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold, and the healing waters run. Trampling down the prairie rose, leaving hoof tracks in the sand. Those who wish to follow me, I welcome with my hands. I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead, He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead. Now there seems no reason why I should carry on, In this land that once was my land, I can't find a home. It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming, And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running. For soon I'll find the yellow moon, along with my loved ones. Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields without the sound of guns. And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole. more free lyrics |

When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm, I should have listened to my old man. You know you can't hold me forever, I didn't sign up with you. I'm not a present for your friends to open, This boy's too young to be singing the blues. So goodbye yellow brick road, Where the dogs of society howl. You can't plant me in your penthouse, I'm going back to my plough. Back to the howling old owl in the woods, Hunting the horny back toad. Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road. What do you think you'll do then? I bet that'll shoot down your plane. It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again. Maybe you'll get a replacement, There's plenty like me to be found.

37. _ Come Down In Time
In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune A mantle of bright light shone down from a room Come down in time I still hear her say So clear in my ear like it was today Come down in time was the message she gave Come down in time and I'll meet you half way Well I don't know if I should have hear her as yet But a true love like hers is a hard love to get And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all Come down in time I still hear her say So clear in my ear like it was today Come down in time was the message she gave Come down in time and I'll meet you half way There are women and women, and some hold you tight While some leave you counting the stars in the night. more free lyrics |

38. _ The Emperor's New Clothes
We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
In that upstairs apartment
On Orlando and 4th
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
Like a Chinese proverb
We were always searching

39. _ Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Don't wish it away Don't look at it like it's forever Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long Before you and me run To the place in our hearts Where we hide And I guess that's why They call it the blues Time on my hands Could be time spent with you Laughing like children Living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why They call it the blues Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands Live for each second Without hesitation And never forget I'm your man Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love itself more free lyrics |
40. _ Bennie And The Jets
Hey kids, shake it loose together, The spotlight's hitting something That's been known to change the weather. we'll kill the fatted calf tonight So stick around, You're gonna hear electric music, Solid Walls of sound. Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets, But they're weird an they're wonderful, Oh, Beannie she's really keen She's got electrice boots a mohair suit, You know I read it in a magazine, Oh! Bennie and the Jets. Hey kids, plug into the faithless, Maybe they're blinded But Bennie makes them ageless. We shall survive, let us take ourselves along, Where we fight our parents out in the streets To find who's right and who's wrong. more free lyrics |

42. _ Crocodile Rock
I remember when rock was young, me and Suzy had so much fun, holding hands and skimmin' stones, had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own. But the biggest kick I ever got was doin' a thing called the crocodile rock. While the other kids were rockin' round the clock we were hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock. Well, crocodile rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still. I never knew me a better time, and I guess, I never will. Oh! Lawdy Mama, those friday nights, when Suzy wore her dresses tight, and the crocodile rockin' was out of sight. But the years went by and rock just died, Suzy went and left me for some foreign guy, long nights cryin' by the record machine, dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans. But they'll never kill the thrills we've got, burning up to the crocodile rock. Learning fast till the week's went past, we really thought, the crocodile rock would last. Well, crocodile rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still. I never knew me a better time, and I guess, I never will. Oh! Lawdy Mama, those friday nights, when Suzy wore her dresses tight, and the crocodile rockin' was out of sight. I remember when rock was young, me and Suzy had so much fun, holding hands and skimmin' stones, had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own. Well, crocodile rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still. I never knew me a better time, and I guess, I never will. Oh!

43. _ I'm Still Standing
You could never know what it's like Your blood like water freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now No, I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah (Solo) Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah (fade) more free lyrics |
44. _ The Greatest Discovery
Peering out of tiny eyes The grubby hands that gripped the rail Wiped the window clean of frost As the morning air laid on the latch A whistle awakened someone there Next door to the nursery just down the hall A strange new soundnn that makes boys explore Tread neat so small those little feet Amid the morning his small heart beats So much excitement yesterday That must be rewarded. Must be displayed. Large hands lift him through the air Excited eyes contain him there The eyes of those he loves and knows But what's this extra bed just here His puzzled head tipped to one side Amazement swims in those bright green eyes Glancing down upon this thing That makes strange sounds. Strange sounds that sing. In those silent happy seconds That surround the sound of this event A parent smile is made in moments They have made for you a friend And all you ever learned from them Until you grew much older Did not compare with when they said This is your brand new brother. This is your brand new brother. more free lyrics |
45. _ Candle In The Wind
Goodbye England's rose; may you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind: never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills; your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost; these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; all our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. more free lyrics |
