1. _ My Death
My death is like a swinging door
A patient girl who knows the score
Whistle for her
And the passing time
My death waits like a desperate truth
At the funeral of my youth
We pray for that
And the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as all love is bright
Who loves for us
Amd the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
You know, there's nothing left to do
Angel or devil, idon't care
For in front of that door
There is you
My death waits beneath my pillow
To catch my sleep in endless tableau
So lets freeze
The passing time
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
Let's drink to that
And the passing time
My death waits in your arms
Your thighs
Your soothing fingers will
Close my eyes
But let's not talk about
The passing time
But whatever is behind the door
And whoever waits for me
Angel or devil
I don't care
For in front of that door
You will be
My death waits among the fallen leaves
At my coffin where they greive
And now lets nail the passing time
My death waits among the rows
Where the blackest shadow goes
Let's cast blooms upon the passing time
My death waits in a double bed
Sands of oblivion at my head
Pull up the sheets against
The passing time
But whatever is behind the door
You know there's nothing much to do
Angel or devil
I dont care
For in front of that door
There is you

2. _ Alone
We find love, you and i
It's a new game to play
Then we tell our first lie
And see a love go away
And we find
We're alone
We rush on, you and i
We don't need love at all
We need thrills, we need speed
And we stumble and fall
And we find
We're alone
We're loyal, you and i
To flowers that are dead
We forget how to cry
And save photos instead
And we find
We're alone
We hear guns, you and i
And we ask what is that
Then we open the times
We're informed where it's at
And we find
We're alone
We're moral you and i
We stand for what's right
We slaughter our evil bygones
And in life
We find we're alone
We're lucky, you and i
We're alive and secure
But in the bank and the church
We can never be sure
And we find
We're alone
We've made it, you and i
We have glory and fame
But we never know why
We feel so ashamed
And we find
We're alone
We've power, you and i
But what good is that now?
We'd build a new world
If we only knew how
And we find
We're alone
We are old you and i
We beg warmth from the sun
In the dreams that we dream
We ask, "what have we done?"
And we find
We're alone

3. _ The Lockman
The bargemen see
Me growing old
I see the bargemen
Aging too
We play the game
Of tom fools
Where the one
Who still is oldest
In my work
Even in summer
He must travel
With eyes clossed
It's not nothing
Being a lockman
The barge men know
My bloated face
They joke with me
That's there mistake
Half sorcerer
Half drunkard
I cast a spell
On all that sings
In my work
In autumn
We gather fruit
And the drowned
It's not nothing
Being a lockman
In his basket
A baby squirms
To watch the fly
On his nose
Mama moans
And time frets
Cabbage sweats
And fires groan
In my work
In winter
We think of the father
Who drowned himself
It's not nothing
Being a lockman
Towards the spring
The barge women
Feign and gloat
From their boat
I'd like their games
But for that war
That he leaves me
Somewhat damaged
In my work
In the spring
One takes the time
To drown self

4. _ If You Need
You've understood nothing
If you need trains to fleet to adventure
And white ships to take you away
To see the sun in your eyes
To see the songs you can't sing
Then
If you don't believe in tomorrow
And tomorrow to be able to hope
To find again in the hope
That slipped from your hand
To find again the hand
That your hand has left
Then
If you need words pronounced by the old
To help you justify all your renunciations
If poetry to you is no more than a game
If all your life is only a growing old
Then
If you need boredom
To help you see the found
And the noise of town
To satiate remorse
And then weakness
To help you seem good
And then anger
To help you seem strong
Then, then
You've understood nothing
Nothing......nothing
You've understood nothing

5. _ Litany For A Return
My love
My heart
My sweet, oh
My sky
My fire
My heat, oh
My work
My spring
My veil
My honey
My bomb
My grail

All this, now you're returning

6. _ The Devil (okay)
One day the devil came above ground
One day the devil came above ground
To study his interests
He saw everything
The devil, he heard everything
And having seen all
Having heard all
He returned to his home below
And down below
They organised a grand feast
At the end of this feast
The devil rose to deliver his speach
This is the jist of what he said
Okay!
Okay
The world up there is like a sea
Of raging fires that spit and roar
Okay
And man has fought like crazy
With dangerous games of war
Okay
Trains are derailed
A crash
His boys filled with ideals
Place bombs on the tracks
Well that creates original death
That death creates without confession
Confessions without remission
Okay
Nothing is sold
But all is bought
Honour and sainthood
Okay
And states change secretly
Into anonymous societies
Okay hey hey
And the mighty extort their dollars
From countries that are poor
And europe also rips the scars
With it's post colonial gorge
That creates death from starvation
And starvation of nations
Okay
And man has seen so much of it
That his eyes have become grey
Okay, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
And no songs seem to exist
Except when sung on stage
Okay
They dispense with hired thugs
And jack-ass poets get the elbow
But in the papers everywhere
Every shit has his photo
That creates evil in honest folk
And laughter in dishonest ones
Okay! okay! okay! okay!
Okay! okay! okay! okay!
Okay!
Okay! hahaha!
Okay! hahaha!
Okay

7. _ The Bulls
On sundays the bulls get so bored
When they're asked to show off for us
There is the sun, the sand, and the arena
There are the bulls ready to bleed for us
It's time when grocery clerks
Become don juan
And all the ugly girls
Turn into swans
Who can say what he's found
That bull who turns and paws the ground
And suddenly he sees himself all nude
Who can say what he dreams
That bull who hears the silent screams
From the open mouths of multitudes
On sundays the bulls get so bored
When they're asked to suffer for us
There are the picadors and the mobs revenge
There are the toreros and the mob's revenge,
There are the toreros - and the mob kneels for us
It's time when grocery clerks
Become garcia-lorca
And the girls put the roses in their teeth
Like carmen
On sundays the bulls get so bored
When they're asked to drop dead for us
The sword will plunge down
And the mob will drool
The blood will poor down
And turn the sand to mud
It's time when grocery clerks
Become nero
And the girls scream
And shout the name of their hero
And when finally they fell
Did the bulls dream of a hell
Where men and worn out matadors
Still burn
And perhaps with their last breath
Would they pardon us their death
Knowing what we did at
Carthage, waterloo, verdon, stalingrad, iwoa jima , hiroshima, saigon

8. _ I'm Coming
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Our friends, they are departing
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Death gallows our dulcine'es
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Other flowers try the best they can
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Men lament while women wail
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what i would have dearly loved once more
To haul my bones towards the sun, towards summer
Towards spring, towards tomorrow
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what i have dearly loved once more
To see if the river is still the river
To see if the port is still the port
To see me there still
I'm coming
I'm coming
But why me? why already? why now? where to go?
I'm coming
Of course i'm coming
Have i ever done anything but be coming?
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Each time all solitary
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Each time super numerary
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what i would have dearly loved once more
To take love like one takes the train to be more alone
To be elsewhere. to be content.
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what i would have dearly loved once more
To fill a trembling body with stars
And fall down dead consumed with passion
My heart in ashes
I'm coming
I'm coming
It's not you who is early
It's now me...it's now me who is late
I'm coming
Of course i'm coming
Have i ever done anything......anything but be coming?
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming

9. _ Never To Be Next
Wholely naked
My my worn towel serving as loin cloth
Face turned red
Hands clutching at soap and froth
(next, next)
I was barely 20
And we were over 100
Being the followers of the one who led
(next, next)
I was still 20
When my innocense was revealed
In a mobile brothel of an army
In the field
(next, next)
Maybe i would have liked
A little touch of tenderness
Maybe a word
Or maybe a caress
But no
(next, next)
It was not waterloo
And it was not arcole
It was the moment
When i regreted missing school
(next, next)
But i swear on hearing that sergeant
Who was not worth tuppens
It was a dirty trick that
? made his armies of impotence
(next, next)
I swear by the head
Of my first bout of syphillis
It's that voice
That voice that sticks
Like a fist
(next, next)
That voice that stinks of garlic
Foul drink and crud
It's the voice of nations
And the voice of blood
(next, next)
And since then
Each woman in the heat
Of succuming in my skinny arms
Seems to be murmering
Next, next
Next deary, next sonny
All the followers of the world
Would hold each others hand
For in my delerium, well i scream and demand
He's next....well i'm not delerious
I act as a reasoner
Say, it's more humiliating to be the followed
Than the follower
(next, next, next, next)
One day i'll cut my legs off
Or even become a nun
I'll hang anything
So long as i'm not anyone
Never to be next
Never to be next
Never to be next
Next, next
Please don't pick me next
Never to be next
I want never...never...never....never....never....never to be next

10. _ The Town Fell Asleep
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
At the spring
Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
And night fell gradually
And time stood still
And my horse so muddy
And my body exhausted
And night shown bluely
In the waters of fate
And some cries of hate
Poured out by the old
And the oldest of old
Those women without sleep
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
At the spring
Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
And horse bent drinking
And me stood watching
And my thirst taking care
That she never sees my stare
And the fountain sings
And exhaustion sinks
It's knife in my back
And i play the role
Of the all powerful
I'm awaited somewhere
Like one awaits the king
No, no one waits for me
And i know it's hard
But we die by chance
While leading a merry dance
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
At the spring
Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
Sometimes a dusk
It's true that birds resemble waves
And waves are birds
And men are laughs
And laughs are psalms
More often it's true
That the sea no longer sings
I want to tell you
That it sings of the songs
That those mothers sing in books of our childhood
But women are still only ever women and the fools among them only ever fools
And i'm not so sure that the song states
That she is the future of man
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
At the spring
Where it wept a corner of sky drowned
The town fell asleep
I forgot what it's called
And you have died
My unknown mate
On the brink of the naked
Beneath the sheets
As they danced

11. _ We Must Look
Behind the dirt
Sprawled before us
Behind narrow eyes
And faces of fat
Beyond those hands
Opened or closed
That strain in vain
Nor raise thier fists
Further than frontiers
That barb our path
Further than misery
We must look
We must look at
What is beauty
The grey sky or blue
The women by the stream
The faithful friend
Tomorrow's sun
The fly to the swallow
The boat that returns
The faithful friend
Tomorrow's sun
The fly to the swallow
The boat that returns
Beyond the concert
Of sobbs and tears
Of cries of anger
Of men in fear
Beyond the din of
Streets and singers
Of warning sirens
Of swearing porters
Stronger than children
Who recount the wars
And stronger than
The great who've made us make them
We must listen to
The bird in the wood
The murmer of summer
The rising of blood
The mother soft songs
The childrens prayer
And the noise of the earth
Gently falling to sleep
The mother soft songs
The childrens prayer
And the noise of the earth
Gently falling to sleep
We must listen
We must look

12. _ If You Go Away
If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
And the day was young
And the nights were long
The trees stood still for the night birds song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
And if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on the sun
I'll ride on the rain
I'll talk to the trees
And i'll worship the wind
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
As i know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning , turning
Til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you
Let me tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Til your next hello
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay,
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
Oh, i'll talk to your eyes
How i love them so much
But if you go
I won't cry
For the good is gone
In the word "goodbye"
If you go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't leave me
I won't cry anymore
I won't talk anymore
I'll hide in your room
And i'll watch you
As you dance and you smile
And i'll listen a while
As you sing and you laugh
Please let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your glass
On this shadow of a man
Please don't leave me
Please stay
Please don't go away
And if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on the sun
I'll ride on the rain
I'll talk to the trees
And i'll worship the wind
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand
If you go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
