when i first saw you
you had on blue jeans
your eyes couldn't hide
anything
i saw you
breathing, oh
saw you staring out in space
when i next saw you
you were at the party
thought you was a queen
oh, so flirty
i came against them
didn't say excuse
knew what i was doing
we looked very fine
as we were leaving
as we were making
what we were making
Saint John
you were a cool jerk
oh, i want you
like a kangaroo
I want to tell you a story
About a little cutey
She's ass-slappin' pretty
And voluptuous fingers
Wanna let her lick me
Stick the thick of my pussy
And as I cross the street
She looks good enough to eat me
Kitty!
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is nice
Your flesh is nice
Let me take a bite
Flesh is so nice
Oh, I take off my belt
Oh, I whip the staircase
Whip the staircase
Oh, kill all the men
Everything's dead to them
You're the only one I follow
Come on and let me give you that 'O'
Flesh is nice
Your flesh is so
I wanna take you twice
Your flesh is nice
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is nice
Your flesh is nice
Wanna take a bite
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so nice
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is nice
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is nice
Your flesh is so
we circle around the park, joining hands in silence
and watch the evil black the sky
the storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow,
this power is no mystery to us now.
leave your spirit genocide, the cancer you won't remove.
we cast our funeral rose inside and bury the need to prove.
our mutilation is to gain from the system.
turn your head away from the screen, oh people.
it will tell you nothing more.
don't suck the milk of flaccid bill k. public's empty promise
to the people that the public can ignore.
this way of life is so devised,
to snuff out the mind that moves.
moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose.
throw off your shame or be a slave to the system.
i see you take another drag,
one more lost soul to raise your flag.
the sky is a landfill.
i see you take another drag.
let's see you take another drag.
you like to dance to the rolling head of the adulteress,
you sing in praise of suicide.
we know you're useless,
like cops at the scene of the crime,
with your steroids and your feedbag and your stable and your trainer,
i got a mail bomb for you mr. strong arm.
throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes,
for the violence of a nation gone by,
or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls that will now black the sky.
their yellow haze and crowds of eyes will plug up the mind that moves,
moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose.
we'll share our bodies in disdain for the system.
i see you take another drag,
one nation bends to kiss the hag.
the sky is a landfill.
i see you take another drag.
i see you take another drag.
How Many Times, Have u Heard Someone Say,
If I Had Money, I Would Do Things My Way.
But Little They Know, That It's So Hard To Find
One Rich Man In Ten, With A Satisfied Mind.
Money Can't Buy Back, All Your Youth When Your Old
A Friend When Your Lonley, Or Peace To Your Soul
The Wealtiest Person, Is A Pauper At Times
Compared To The Man, With a Satisfied Mind.
When My Life Is Over, And My Time Has Run Out,
My Friends and My Lovers, I Will Leave, Theres No Doubt
But One Things For Certain, When It Comes My Time
I'll Leave This Old World With A Satisfied Mind
But One Things For Certain, When It Comes My Time, Oh Yeah
I'll Leave This Old World With A Satisfied Mind mind mind, mind mind,
I once was open
And one with a travelling heart
I loved this sweet guy
Just like the fiction
Rushing in your riverbed
Arise like applause in my head
And in the half-light
Where we both stand
This is the half-light
See me as I am
Just like the ocean
Always in love with the moon
It's overflowing now
Inside you
We fly right over
The minds of so many in pain
We are the smile of light that brings them rain
In the half light
Where we both stand
In the half light
You saw me as I am
I am a railroad track abandoned
With the sunset
Forgetting
I ever happened
Would you like to meet the villain somewhere
Underneath the skull of a moon
Fire burned his eyes out 'cause his chains are too long for you
Someone has to pay for the damage done
No-one's gonna love you now
Your whole family's splintered
You're a slave to it all now
Oooooh Ahhhhh Oh
You're a slave to it all now
You're a slave
Welcome down to paradise rock
There is no single entrance
With the stars to revolve around
There is no real underground
No stars to revolve around
Here, they're fashioning the noose
Sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell
You know it's not long for you
Sick of all the vomit childhood
Not a trampoline of the freaks
Not even a slave to your father
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now
Welcome down to paradise rock
There is no single entrance
With the stars to revolve around
There is no real underground
There is not single entrance
There's no stars to revolve around
There is no real underground
You're a slave to it all, now.
Love, let me sleep tonight on your couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress
Oh, that was so real
Oh, that was so real
Oh, that was so real
We walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation, could have fell asleep at the gaze
And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause I knew I'd lose my mother
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in
And pulled me under, pulled me under
Oh, that was so real
Oh, that was so real
Oh, that was so real
Said, "I love you but I'm afraid to love you"
I love you but I'm afraid to love you
Afraid
Oh, that was so real
Oh, that was so real
Oh, that was so real
That was so real
Oh, that was so real, oh
Oh, that was so real
Real, real, real, yea
Oh, that was so real, oh yea
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because (it) brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye
Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
(Morrissey/J.Marr)
Originally performed by The Smiths. Jeff performed it several times, usually in medley with Hallelujah or with Kangaroo.
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said
I know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can go
Over and over.....
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) me
Do you think you can help me
Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
More than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go - over and over.....
I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real
And she even spoke to me and said
"If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?"
"And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?"
"And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?"
"And if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?"
I know - 'cos tonight is just like any other night - that's why you're on
your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's arms
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle
and kind - over and over....
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle and
kind - over and over....
Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my love
Love is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my love
Oh mother... etc.
There's no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live
I'm not with you not of you
Not with you, not of you
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I'll catch you
In the throws of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder
O, God, I love you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that I'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at joy that we've become
But there's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive
We were two cripples dancing
To the bitter end we live
I'm not with you, but of you
I'm not with you but of you
O, God, I loved you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives
I'll just sit here and glow
Break out the oldest pictures
Hand your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
And separate beds and lives
And lives, and lives
I know that we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
I know that we could be so happy, baby
There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
Nobody ever came
Nobody ever...
I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
He bear her off, he bear her down
He bear her into an orchard ground
Lu Li Lu Lay
Lu Li Lu Lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
And in this orchard there was a hold
That was hanged with purple and gold
And in that hold there was a bed
And it was hanged with chords of red
Lu Li Lu Lay
Lu Li Lu Lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
And on this bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day
Lu Li Lu Lay
Lu Li Lu Lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
By his bedside standeth a stone
Oh...
We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
Oh the way that young lovers do
I kissed you on the lips once more
We said goodbye at your front door
There in the nighttime
Love, that's the right time
Oh to feel the way that young lovers do
And we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were and the
way that we wanted to be
And we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and that you were for me
And then we long to dance the night away
Turned to each other, saying 'I love you, baby I love you'
Oh the way that young lovers do
Lovers do...
Do, do, do, do...
The way young lovers do
Do, do, do, do...
The way young lovers do...
And we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way
that we wanted to be
And we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and you were for me
Oh baby, baby.
And then we long to dance the night away
And turned to each other, saying 'I love you, baby I love you'
Oh the way...
I held her with her looking down
And I kissed her, with the snow falling down
In the street light
It was a sweet light
And the way that young...
Oh, the way that young lovers...
Oh the way that young... that young lovers...
That young lovers do.
Don't try to blow out the sun for me baby
I'm not hoping for what I know can't be
All that I ask is for your smile each day
And I'll give you love, yes I will never go away
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
'Cause girl I wouldn't ask you to lift up this great big world little baby
I know that your not that kind of a girl, and
Nevermind now, with your heart, how much he's all
Nobody knows, how deep my love for you really goes
But girl, I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the dawn by the dawn baby
That's just a little too much to ask of anyone
Nevermind now, with your heart, how much he's all
I want you to know
I wouldn't ask you to hold back the dawn by the dawn baby
That's just a little too much to ask of anyone
All that I ask, is for your loving ways
And I'll keep you happy for the rest of your natural born days
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama you've been on my mind
I mean no trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleading or saying I can't forget you
I do not face the floor bowed down and bent but yet
Well mama you've been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
But mama, you're just on my mind
I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I have no place, I'm callin' you alone
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Mama you're just on my mind, well mama you're just on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin' and baby you look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to, you know, I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
Oh Yeah
Born no longer just a baby
Always trying to keep in one place for long, oh long enough to sleep
Oh sleep and dreams are here the same
got no rest they'll no longer speak to you
Moving on again
I'm moving...moving on again
Well I'm moving...moving on again
Baby...you're so cruel
You're cruel to yourself, so you never understand,
Boy'l never do ya no harm,
For you to build the frame of the bed you sleep upon.
So spill your milk and honey, get your kicks off your next man.
Bigger than you think and make him go, go on.
Make him move on, moving on again
Oh he's moving...moving on again
Baby, you're so cruel
They thought about the dream is so real now
These are dreams of mine
You're so aimless, so aimless
You baby, you're so cruel
You're so cruel
Wonder what your gonna think of yourself when the phone calls fade away,
As you hold his shoulders
Did you think it would come to this day?
Ask yourself why he's off when others surround you
He was one of many on the day he found you
Uh-huh, you're moving, moving on again
Yeah, you're moving, moving on again
Yeah, you're moving, moving on again
A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe just around the bend
I am calling you
Can't you hear me
I am calling you
A hot dry wind blows right thru me
Your baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we all know a change is coming
Coming closer sweet release
I am calling you
I know you hear me
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Stick to the promise that you made me
You've gotta stick to the promise that you made me
Stay away from Johnny Lee
Oh mamma gotta love me good
Oh mamma gotta love me good
Oh mamma gotta love me good
If you want me to, i'll cook and sew
If you want me to, i'll cook and sew
If you want me to, i'll cook and sew
Don't you treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Cause you're the meanest woman i've ever seen
Oh mamma love me good yeah
Oh mamma love me good yeah
Oh mamma now love me good
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call
The writing's on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all
gone astray.
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning.
Don't know what happened. It's all a crazy game!
No more that all time thrill
For you've been through the mill
And never a new love will
be the same.
Good riddance, goodbye!
Every trick of his you're on to
But fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he may turn up
There's just no let up the live-long night and day.
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away...
When i first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide
Anything
I saw you
Breathing, oh
Saw you staring out in space
When i next saw you
You were at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh, so flirty
I came against them
Didn't say excuse
Knew what i was doing
We looked very fine
As we were leaving
As we were making
What we were making
Saint John
You were a cool jerk
Oh, i want you
Through the yard
Through the yard of blonde girls
Through the river and the sea
Gold sharks glittering
A tree of white
Breaks the earth
The streets where Lola played
Very sexy, very sexy, okay, okay
Fear, we may come
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
It's in your heart
It's in your art, your beauty
Even in this world of lies
There's purity
You've got innocence
In your eyes
Even in this world of lies
You're still hopeful
Very sexy, okay, okay
Fear, we may come
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Through the yard
Through the yard of blonde girls
Through the river and the sea
Gold sharks glittering
A tree of white
Breaks the earth
The streets where Lola played
Very sexy, very sexy, okay, okay
Fear, we may come
I have no desire to make contact with all the thought of "no, no".
I shiver now, to think of how this answer asked her, no.
Long time gone. I run to my hide out.
There ain't a star born that brightens
More than you, you always should have known,
I'll illuminate your question,
Long time ago I'd died and gone.
What has brought the question?
Time has brought the question.
Come and call the question,
Oh, oh, oh.
Here are the stars, same thing again
Over, over, over, over, over, over
(J.Buckley)
There's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive.
Two cripples dancing to the end we lie.
I'm not with you, not of you.
Not with you, not of you.
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at the wonder,
One last look at the wonder.
Oh, God, I love you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that I'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at the joy that we've become.
But there's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive.
We were two cripples dancing, to the bitter end we live.
I'm not with you, but of you.
I'm not with you, but of you.
Oh, God, I loved you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives.
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
Yeah, oh.
Don't you wanna let go of your heart
Or you resist the beds of bliss
Fortune makes fools of us all
My dear materialista, silence was insane,
The parting was mutual.
Don't you want the rocket to rock out?
There's room for us both to fly.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Why should you notice at all?
Gone again beside you will fall
Down to the sea out of the skies
Of gold cards and casual tears
I have only come to see you shine
Feminine smiles the right side is wise, more than I.
I wanna be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror.
Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter
And be one with all you disowned in your young life. You paranoia politician diva.
You paranoia politician diva.
Will you let go of your heart,
Left behind a hypnotizing swirl
The semi's left behind.
Don't you want to rocket to rock?
There's room for both of us to fly
Same show everyday, don't have to blow up in the sky.
So I just came from Hicks town,
Left my coins behind
Maybe some poor cloths pony will buy himself a life
Why should you care if I crash your affair?
Why should you notice me? I really wanna see you shine.
I wanna be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror.
Now, be one with all you disown,
True love has come to us all.
Blinded by the flame, right side smiles,
Organized male, love, my silence was insane.
The parting was mutual the moment I became
A paranoia politician
diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
Say farewell
G'night, Sonny-Jim
In your defenseless
Winning smile
What do you hope to win?
And bliss face down, defended
Well, now stoned Demon John
There's no town the boy cannot belong
Why did you come here?
Is it to excavate all your sins?
Boil within?
Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me
I have to deal, you called me here
You couldn't say that you were juiced
The night that you were introduced
To Demon John
Gonna take him with you when you go?
Dance down slow
Oh, way down
You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector
You undo your life with too much cocoon
Who's your protector?
Dark is the city where the white girls walk by
Down below your eyes, just like fireflies
You call me here, come on here, follow me dear
Past cascades of rage and fear
You called me here
You couldn't say that you had been juiced
The time that you were introduced
To Demon John
Well, you knew you had to want to go
Dance down slow
By the light of the sun
Murder comes
Today or tonight
Better get yourself together
And transcend it, a burst of light
Blaze stars into me
While the love breaks through here and now
So, murder by the light of the sun
Please, don't get too close to me
You said you are for real, it's not pretend
All memories stolen, know this for yourself
How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?
Behind the weathered field hands
Whose blistered paws Harvest cut
For wedding clothes they'll never wear
Marching down a road that was never there
It takes place on a sunlit lace and the backbone broken
Please bring us light
Demon John
You Demon John
Take him with you
If a fiddler played you a song, my love
And if I gave you a wheel
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
Would you spin for my love
If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
"Tomorrow I must go"
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
I'll never smile again
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
I can plainly see that our parts have changed
Our sands are shifting around
Need I beg to you for one more day
To find our lonely love
Everywhere there's rain my love
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm
Ain't never done no man no harm
Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack
Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack
Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack
A twelve-gauge shotgun at my back
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm
The stone cold loner
And his eye’s amazing
I’m a stone cold loner
As cool as a man could be
I was gigin’ myself
When the love comes down on me
I let my bluebird
Fly on a cage
I sing a song for they’ve never gonna change the world, no
Let her fly away
Oh, let her fly away
I guess some lonesome chap
Who's waiting for you night and day
Bluebird is a liar
She‘ll never love you not for long
Bluebird’s liar !
She never gonna love you long
She don’t love you
But you know your best friend done before
I have an angel
With eyes like the ocean blue
I have an angel
With eyes like the ocean blue
Someday that bluebird
Is gonna fly away back to you
Angel, she’s got a ??
Angel, angel sing a song
The rain is falling
And I believe my time has come
I let my bluebird
Fly on a cage
She‘ll pull , for the night to change or save the world
No, she‘s on bruising storm, angel
She’s on a bruising storm
The rain is falling and I believe my time has come
My bluebird told me
I was a lover babe
Falling a mountain in another black bird cage
I said why
What was wrong with me
Why why why , what’s wrong with me
What’s you gonna do
Cos’ there’s a black bird picking out you see
You and I
Ah, the calm below that poisoned the river wild
You and I
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child
Where you look down
I've walked before
Burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown
If we had only known
In a way
We wouldn't reach this ground
You were my only home
Silver eyes
I want to see you shine
And we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and I, you and I, you and I
All for you
Where you think you'll fall
I adore you
Where you shut your soul
I will open for you
If we had only known
In a way
We'd never reach this ground
I'll know
Silver eyes
I can see us shine
I said, we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I
at a glance from the cup-bearer
i gulped the whole cup of wine in one
draught and thus got intoxicated.
o'divine mercy pardon my slip from
grace as my eagerness for wine
drinking pushed me in committing
this error.
i could i dare to drink without
permission! it was only a wink from
my sweetheart which prompted me to
do so.
o'holy man don't scoff at my apparent
irreligiosity, i am the one with
his knack of chit-chat coaxed the
divinity in granting me permission to
drink.
dark clouds are hovering near and
bring along the musicians'
captivating notes.
who has spread her hair in the rainy
season because the breeze is pregnant
with sweet fragrance?
larks dance in the open tunes
played by the clouds as they are
bringing along their own playing
instruments.
the eyes of my sweetheart are so
bewitchingly red that even the best wine of the tavern pales in
comparison.
being coquettish my sweetheart
sometimes comes very near to me and
at other time goes far away. but all the
time she is close to my heart.
since the day my eyes met her lovely
ones i am in perpetual state of slight
intoxication.
her residence in my heart is
camparable to a ray of light
penetrating the pitch of darkness.
this state of slight intoxication.
your love and your bewitching
eyes have induced me to become
a drunkard.
the whole universe is in a state
of drunkeness; the day, the night,
the dawn, the dusk, everything
is perpetually intoxicated.
even the wine cup and wine
bottle are drunk. And this is all a
result of your bashful eyes.
o'lovely cup-bearer although your
repository contains all sorts of wines,
but i am only fond of the wine that
drips from your drowsy eyes.
this state of slight intoxication.
i don't know how to say prayers nor
do i know the rites of ablution. i just
prostrate myself before you whenever
i see you, because your worship and
your love is my life.
right from creation i am the slave
of love, and i don't care for belief
or disbelief.
my sweetheart, since i have found
you and have become the worshipper
at the alter of your love i don't require
a mosque to prostrate myself and say
my prayers.
this slight state of intoxication.
even on the day of judgement when i
am resurrected the scars of your love
will be manifest on my body and your
picture clinging to my heart.
my extreme love of you has so
elevated me spiritually that who ever i
bow my heat it appears as if holy
kaaba is in front of me.
it does not behoove you to jeer and
mock your disappointed lover.
for god sake o'lovely one turn
away your alluring eyes otherwise i
will totally lose control of my heart.
i pray to god that like me you also fall
in love with someone and then
having been rebuffed in dejection you
also roam about and lament the loss of your heart.
to fall in love was a joke for me, but it
has turned into a serious affair and
now i am getting the punishment.
while i am bewaiting the loss of
my heart why are you laughing
and making merry? What have
you gained out of it?
raise your hands in prayer for me and
be thankful of my friendship because it
is i who has sharpened your charms
thus turning you lovely being into a
killer.
o'darling of my heart bestow a glance
of your lovely eyes at me, i am the
same halfdead anwar who as mentor
and guide taught you to display
captivating manners and charm
It sounds just like a scream
I don't know what you mean
Your witchcraft's all around me
In your ragged pagan scene
You tell me all the ways around my garden that you like
I float just like a bubble
Heading for a spike
All is well between the breasts of passenger and slave
We'll never make it out alive to join
The witches' rave
You'd like to see him suffer
For you fantasy and thrill
He fell sick while we made love
He's out there, somewhere, still
Oh I feel the spell that you have cast, hot, pink, nasty
Bubble gum, coming down just like a big red coal
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
Hey! I try to keep all hidden
When you come around
Oh, no! The sight of broomsticks
Sliding on the ground
You're levitating something
'Cause I feel so collectible
We're all lying natural
He's watching from a window up above
I see he loves you, I'll bring you closer
Something in my fate says it's not right for me
Tell me
Am I cursed or am I blessed?
I can't tell, oh yes!
'Cause all is well between the breasts of
Passenger and slave
I'll never make it out alive to join
The witches' rave
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking
Outside for a guarantee
Come on you white people clap !
Oh, the white man trouble
Oh god I love you, child
I'm gonna give you some of my special sauce girl
Aaahhh...
Well, my maid up and left me
My butler up and left me too
And my poolcleaner ain't been here
For a week or two
I got the white man trouble
Whitee, whitee, white white man trouble bring me down
I had me all white man trouble
Since my stocks went down
White, whitey, white man trouble
It's been such a long time
And I was just a child then
What will you say
When you see my face?
Time feels like it's flown away
The days just pass and fade away
What will you say
When they take my place?
It's funny now
I just don't feel like a man
What will you say
When you see my face?
My face...
Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Do you even care?
What will you say
When they take my place?
My heart can't take this anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
When you see my,
See my face...
I can feel your time crawling
To a slow end
I can feel my time crawling
To a slow end...
Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Did you even care?
What will you say
When you take my place?
Well it's so funny now
I just don't feel like I'm a man
The other woman finds time to manicure her nails
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails
And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair
The other woman enchants her clothes with french perfume
The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
There are never toys that's scattered everywhere
And when her baby comes to call
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
Cause when she's by his side
It's such a change from old routine
But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep
The other woman will never have his love to keep
And as the years go by the other woman
And i will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And i will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And i shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And i will never NEVER grow so old again
And WE will walk and talk
In gardens wet with rain
OH OH SWEET THING SWEET THING
MY, MY, MY, MY, MY SWEET THING
AND I SHALL DRIVE MY CHARIOT DOWN YOUR STREETS AND CRY
Hey, it's me, i'm dynamite
And i don't know why
HEY YOU SO STRONG YOU HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN
AND I REMEMBER THAT I FELT SO OLD
AND I WILL NEVER NEVER GROW SO OLD AGAIN
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And i will GO OUT TONITE
Into the MIDnight time sky
And count the stars
That's shining in your eye
And i'll be satisfied
NOT TO KNOW THE REASON WHY
In gardens all wet with rain
And i will never, Never, Never, ever
Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Sugar baby with your champagne eyes
Oooohhhhhhhhhh
Back when I was a baby, a baby saying his prayers,
prayers soft and lonely, lonely all these days,
days that meld into nothing, and nothing left for a boy
but to hide his dreams away, hide all his dreams away
Daisies after daisies, a daisy for your floor
Ah days that melt into nothing
A promise piled to the door,
door the door was open
There's nothing left for a boy but to hide these dreams away
...All those dreams decay
Laura...know this song for always
Laura...show this song to no one
I had to fight for these moments, sweet moments of mine
Each line must blossom and die but my song comes strong in time
Nothing left for a boy, nothing left for a boy
But to hide those dreams away, all those dreams decay
Laura...know this song for always
Laura...show this song to no one
Oh I had to fight for these moments, these sweet moments of mine
Each line must blossom , but my song comes strong in time
Although the door was open, there's nothing left for you now
But to hide your dreams away till they come into play
Laura...know this song for always
Laura...show this song to no one
Laura...know this song for always
Laura...Laura...show this song to no one
i couldn't buy you with a hundred cattle
but you hike in shells and feathers
up the african beach,
i am king here, tied to this hut by the king's chain
my power's like a tree and green taboo to me
the chameleon lies in your dusty fingers,
and blue flies circle your head like stars;
jump into me now, I must not see the water,
Rock me baby
Rock me all night long
Rock me baby
Rock me all night long
Rock me baby
Like my back ain't got no bone
Roll me baby
Like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me baby, you don't know how it makes me feel
Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow
Yeah, rock me pretty baby, baby rock me slow

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore, she wonders
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go
I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all
From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window, I hear them call
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go
Stay with me under these waves, tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
Looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know
When i'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one
So i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Well maybe i'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
Oh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Well I feel too young to hold on
And i'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well i'm waiting for you
Lover, you should've come over
so well
the world is diagnosed with terminal cancer
flesh is not human this culture is not freedom
and the world has terminal cancer
i want to live with you
let's bomb the moonlight and dance
this far awake is a joke our love is real
and the world is diagnosed with terminal cancer
i love your lips ...(?)...
armageddon's just another job, it's all on the inside
don't let them tell you love is a lie
love is so real
the best bet's to stay alive
let's go bomb the moonlight
let's take it back
what was ours by right
frame of a picture, the subject's not right
oh people of the world
you have a new boy in town
to share the light with a guillotine
that's realer than all of you
that's love human.
we'll bomb the moonlight and dance
dance
sweet black mother of death
why did you have to take her away from me?
it's stupid all the words fit together
where now is nothing
why did you have to bring us together,
under such dirty circumstance?
i have a molotov
let's bomb the moonlight and dance
I wait and wait
sleepwalk the hourglass
this way and that
the pendulum swings
yes there's plenty of time
always time left to kill
does time stand still
or hurtle on by?
let time unwind
let all the cogs fall out
let mans machines
collapse and rust
face down in the dust
i'll kiss no other lips
a life time of nothing
condemned without you
been so long here
i could die here
lying by your side
but time won't claim me
time and me only
i'm just killing time
if the sun went out
i wouldn't mind too much
who needs the days
to trouble to fill?
if the moon didn't rise
i wouldn't be upset
who needs moonshine
to cause tears to spill?
i've been so long here
i could lie here
under dying sky
this thirst and hunger
holds no wonder
i'm just killing time
i await your return
I'm gonna kick 'em out
Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that I could get crazy now, baby
'Cause we all got in tune
When the dressing room got hazy now, baby
I know how you want it, child,
Hot, sweet, and tight
The girls can't stand it
When you're doing it right
When they're up on the stand
And then they kick out the jams, yes
Kick out the jams, I like to kick 'em out
Yes I'm startin' to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet
What a feelin'
And the sound that abounds and
Resounds and rebounds off the ceiling
You gotta have it, baby
You can't do without
When you get the feelin'
You've got the sounds above
Put that mic in my hand
And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams, got to kick 'em out
So you got to get it up
And then can't get enough
That's what ....
'Cause it gets in your brain
It drives you insane, makes you crazy
The ...... the faster you funk
If you wanna feed my rocket
Till the morning comes
Let me be who I am
And let me kick out the jams
Yes kick out the jams
I know you're a woman
By the way you burn below
I'll tell you secrets so good
You'll never tell a soul
Come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown
Diamonds from the pavement
Where a broken glass had been
Just like these troubles that I'm leaving to the wind
Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end
Like thieves, my bad luck grows
Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tear
Crystalize illusion shine forgot I'm here
Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly
Star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding gold
Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds
Inaction, intention, like emeralds I stole
My speech of custom gold
I think I ought to know
Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tears
Crystalize illusion shine, forgot I'm here
Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly
You left some stars in my belly
It's so dark in my home
With this world I live alone
Whiskey sour in my sunrise
In my head like a silver eyes
In the cantina
Sun-drenched arena
I'm here sleeping
In the sparkle-silver
And now my home is cantina
The home in a sea-foam
In her warm sea-foam lashes
All I love is now ashes
Windows show by shore
All my life
I will fight it crying asleep at night
All my life
Oh, his mother dead, her brother dead
Daughters and lovers dead to this world
So their home is a cantina
In her warm sea-foam washes
When all your love will be ashes
Out the dark stormy window
Whiskey sour at my nightfall
All my life
I'll be fighting and crying asleep at night
All my life
Oh, to be young and safe
Safe back home
Ghost calls to visit
With my keys in his pocket
Kisses in my mouth with his
Eyes hanging out of his sockets
My memories crumble
Under still resistance
I was torn out like pages
From the book of existence
I woke up in a strange place
My mind a blur and some blood on my chin
I made a call for a blackened cab
Some destination was moving on in
I remember the words that you told me
How they come down so hard, so plain
Fate is going to find your love in a
Glass of champagne
I lied to my host i told him
I knew how far i could go
When i emptied my guts out
On his brand new stereo
Well he paid me to go upstairs
And spend a night with his friend
I never want to see my face
In the mirror again
I woke up in a strange place
Music so loud that i spilled all my beer
I met a ride in that blackened cab
Some destination was all that he had
Easy now, this car is speeding up
For my last chance, crashing to freedom
Fate is going to find your love in a
Glass of champagne
Sweat pours down
You're in the back seat sleeping
And she waits by the window
On an empty bed, weeping
The ghost guns the motor
To the land that he promised me
I guess this is the time when your
Best intentions become facts again
This is no song for the dislocated
The one you loved but it turned to be hated
Because the lies of the spirit possessed you
Because the eyes of your lover resist you
Listen now, you keep your aim steady
As your temple turns to kiss the pistol
Fate is going to find your love
In a glass of champagne
Fate is going to find your love
Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new
Someone new
But (a) little cry wants someone badly
Wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
(I want know)
I want know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight
Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right
Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right
Now I, I want someone badly
Could it be true
I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I like to stay here
With you forever
And I'll be so glad
Someday, he's coming back to call me
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna feel like dying, Porgy
Dying dying deep inside me
But when he calls I know I have to go
I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hard hand
If you can keep me
I like to stay here
With you forever
Cause I got my man
With you forever
Alright alright alright alright...woah
Well...yeah
Well I'm your Harem man, I was paid two by two
Well I'm your Harem man, I will sing and dance for you
Oh baby say it
my love is great
Well well
Lay your nails down till they rake over me
Oh sweet pussy cat rake your nails all over me
Oh you're so sweet, your pussy cat I'm gonna show you where it's at
Why don't you think I can
free
I wanna be your fire when it's cold
It's raining outside mama...don't wait until you get too old
Take home a liter and push it in me
I wanna inject you in my blood
I wanna set you free
Well well
My world
, My Love
I wanna be your Harem man
Oh baby save you, do anything I can
I'll keep you waiting in a room of my own
A man can't be free until he's older
My, my my
woman, man
I wanna be your Harem man
I wish I was your $5 dollar bill
Spend all your money, pay all your thrills
I wish I could be your walking shoes, step all over me
and take away my blues
My world, my love
While this time's busy sleeping,
All the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
She'll never change her ways.
Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
And my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.
Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.
Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.
Well my tears fall down as I try to forget,
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of the words, all of her men,
all of my pain when I think back to when.
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
the smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Tell myself over and over you won't ever need her again.
But don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.
Oh She was heartache from the day that I first met her.
My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.
And drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when i speak
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what i've lived
You don't want to take what i give
And I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what i've lived
You don't want to take what i give
And i give nothing for free
My hands are rough
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that i might let you believe...
I'll melt your smile
I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what i've lived
You don't want to take what i give
'Cause i give nothing for free
And you don't want to know what i've lived
You don't want to take what i give
'Cause i give nothing for free
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what i've lived
You don't want to take what i give
And i give nothing for free
You don't want to know what i've lived
Flutter girl
ooooo

feel no shame for what you are
feel no shame for what you are
feel no shame for what you are
feel no shame for what you are
feel no shame for what you are
as you now are in your blood

and cast your fear away
leave your own car, leave your pulpit and
join us in the streets where we
join us in the streets where we
don't belong
don't belong
here where there are stars
... throwing light
oooooooo
fall (fall)
oooooo
fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
oooooo
fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Eternal life is now on my trail
Got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail
While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
Racist everyman, what have you done?
Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son
Crown my fear your king, at the point of a gun
All I wanna do is love everyone
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
There's no time for hatred, only questions
What is love? Where is happiness?
What is a life? Where is peace?
When will I find the strength to bring me relief?
Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
Man it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
Well I've got a message for you and your twisted hope
When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
Should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we were steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
Father says, "He's going crazy"
Says, I'm livin' in a trance
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in it's spotlight
It's alright, it's alright, the moonlight
This long, hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
I'm on the streets again
Disobeyed another warning
Shoulda been home by ten
Now I stay out till Sunday
I have to say, I stayed with friends
It's a habit worth forming
It's a means to justify the end
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in it's spotlight
It's alright, it's alright, the moonlight
This long, hot summer night

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties
And what will she do with Thursday's rags When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
Lady
All the troubles are my fright, I disgust you
Feel the power you cut the truth into you
Why do you think I'd hidden out on this rely
I could kiss you
With lines of escape in my mouth
Please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman
His eyes shined on my back as I slept and knew you
You didn't leave it all
You made an even call
My belly released the stars
And tears between the scars. Ooooh
We're where we belong
It should end here
Until the end of time
Beyond the moment
That ends our bondage
I am your failed husband contender
I'm your loan shark of bliss.
This dream you've ridden on
Turns your world to explosions
You need to be alone
To heal this bleeding stone
Now, smell the rain of London it still insists
That we beg for our purity
As if we are pure in the rain of our contentment
three is a magic number, yes it is, it's a magic number.
somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity, you get three as a magic number.
the past and the present and the future,
faith hope and charity,
the heart and the brain and the body,
give you three as a magic number.
it takes three legs to make a tripod, or to make a table stand.
it takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle.
ev'ry triangle has three corners; ev'ry triangle has three sides.
no more , no less; you don't have to guess.
when it's three, you can see it's a magic number.
a man and a woman had a little baby.
yes they did.
they had three in the family.
and that's a magic number.
three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
twenty-one twenty-four, twenty-seven, thirty.
three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
twenty-one twenty-four, twenty-seven, thirty.
three times ten is thirty. three times nine is twenty-seven.
three times eight is twenty-four. three times seven is twenty-one.
three times six is eighteen. three times five is fifteen.
three times four is twelve, and three times three is nine,
and three times two is six, and three times one is three, of course.
three times one: what is it? three!
that's a magic number.
a man and a woman had a little baby.
yes they did.
they had three in the family.
Cold wind blow this waiting blood,
Flow into my ashen arms.
Ice stream prick my sleeping skin.
She is like the so black time,
Race on in and never go away.
She's just like this wind.
Black Car, with your creaking wheel,
Take away these thoughts of mine.
Once there was a crazy man
Staring from his drunken eyes,
Staring stony into her elbow's way
Stared at me and tellin' me,
'Stead of 'oh, poor lonely me,
I claw the bed and I claw my hair.
Oh black car, with your creaking wheel,
Take away these thoughts of mine.
Pictures sing in rhythm with 'em.
Dig the holes for me to sleep inside.
She is free,
A shadow crossing the sky,
Free from hope and this misery.
She's beautiful, so beautiful away from me.
She is free.
She is free.
Instead of me is this creaking wheel,
Take away these thoughts of mine
Pictures sing in rhythm with 'em
Dig the holes for me to sleep inside
Black car, with your creaking wheels
Take away these thoughts of mine
Catch us sing in rhythm with 'em.
Dig both holes for me to sleep inside
She is free.
Shadow crossing the sky.
Free from hope and this misery.
So beautiful away from me.
She is free.
Parlez-moi d'amour,
Redites-moi des choses tendres.
Votre beau discours,
Mon coeur n'est pas las de l'entendre.
Pourvu que toujours
Vous ripitiez ces mots suprjmes:
Je vous aime.
Vous savez bien
Que dans le fond je n'en crois rien
Mais cependant je veux encore
Icouter ce mot que j'adore.
Votre voix aux sons caressants
Qui le murmure en frimissant
Me berce de sa belle histoire
Et malgri moi je veux y croire.
Il est si doux,
Mon cher trisor, d'jtre un peu fou.
La vie est parfois trop amhre
Si l'on ne croit pas aux chimhres.
Le chagrin est vite apaisi
Et se console d'un baiser.
Du coeur on guirit la blessure
Well the aliens are coming
They're coming while i'm strummin'
They fill me up with such a sense of pride
When the aliens do take me
I hope that they will let me
Bring my little sister for my bride.
The space men with skin of gray
Took my baby child away
Now they say they want a second date
I'm really kind of flattered
Though I know it doesn't matter
Just think of it as interstellar rape.
The aliens will help me
I know that they can lift me
Lift me out of earth's velocity
The aliens have shown me
In their space craft as they hold me
Their space-age Ozark moonshine recipe.
In the kitchen I've gone wild
With spices hot and mild
Yes, I'm the planet's new age Julia child.
I'm cookin' up a present
A ten-pound frisky pheasant
They'll stuff it like they stuffed me - with a smile
The aliens are recruiting
Over hill and dale they're lootin'
For kins and cows and even chickens, too.
They took my cousin Billy
Now he's more than silly
I wish they'd take my auntie Mary lou.
Now the aliens don't like me
'Cause I guess I tried to bite 'em
It's just my way of being kind of close
They threw me in a pasture
Now i'm aging faster
Faster than a free-range country roast.
Well the aliens are coming
They're coming while i'm strummin'
They fill me up with such a sense of pride
When the aliens do take me
I hope that they will let me
"Come on man, there you go"
Take my shoes and bury them
With sand and paper and broken bowels
In memory of the lover I'll never be
Whose fortune dancers dropped in his arms
Ooh Come
Every man and woman
take a beam around yours
Missing in the mess-up of all your dreams and prayers
Miss the eyes of somebody too sacred
Hoping for an innocent heart that could not please the man
Who'd waited on you for all your days pay-checks
Take my eyes and bury them
I'll never need them to see your God
I apologise to my woman for all those tricks and games
For the damage I've done
For the mess I've made
I spread love
Take him, Take it away
Don't make a sea-trip
Never to see true light again
The Church is going to drag you down
To the bottom of its birth will it speed
I'm the one who brought the axe down
I refuse to be set free
Bring me down
Ah bring it down
There ain't no way to stop this now
So close to home
Alone beside you here
So every man must become the enemy of his own soul
For the ones he loves
And I want you
I want yours so badly
I wanna be strong like the man that I am, boy oh
Break it, Take it away
Loathe his reason
Never to see the light of day
Missing in the mess-up of all your dreams and plans
Miss the eyes of somebody too sacred
Hoping for an innocent heart, run-off descent man
The way you live for all your days pay-checks
Bring me down
Bring me
There ain't no way to stop this now
So close to home
No one must find you here
(repeated x 1)
There's no way to stop this now
Oooooo, Fall in light, fall in light. Fall in light, fall in light
Feel no shame for what you are
As you now are in your blood
Fall in light
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel it as a water fall
Fall in light, ooh
Fall in light, fall in light, Fall in light, ooh
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Grow in light
Stand absolved behind your electric chair, dancing
Stand absolved behind your electric chair, dancing
Past the sound within the sound
Past the voice within the voice
Leave your office
Run past your funeral
Leave your home, car
Leave your pulpit
Join us in the streets where we
Join us in the streets where we
Don't belong, don't belong
You and the stars
Throwing light
Ooooooh
Fall, fall
Ooooooh
Fall in light, fall in light. fall in light
Oooooh
Fall in light, fall in light fall in light
Time takes care of the wound
So I can believe
You had so much to give
You thought I couldn't see
Gifts for boot heels to crush
Promises deceived
I had to send it away
To bring us back again
Your eyes and body brighten
Silent waters, deep
Your precious daughter in the
Other room, asleep
A kiss "Goodnight" from every
Stranger that I meet
I had to send it away
To bring us back again
Morning theft
Unpretender left
Ungraceful
True self is what
Brought you here, to me
A place where we can
Accept this love
Friendship battered down by
Useless history
Unexamined failure
But what am I still to you
Some thief who stole from you?
Or, some fool drama queen
Whose chances were few?
That brings us to who we need
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as
Both siphon and reservoir
You're a woman, I'm a calf
You're a window, I'm a knife
We come together
Making chance in the starlight
Meet me tomorrow night
Or any day you want
I have no right to wonder
Just how, or when
You know the meaning fits
There's no relief in this
I miss my beautiful friend
I have to send it away
Mood swing whiskey
Drank it all in the morning
Waiting for the dark to move in
Sitting in my step-sister's kitchen
Horseflies on the window sill
Eyes trained on the lemon king
And wishing it were a gun
I'm thinking of our wedding rings
Trapped inside the heater
Spring water on the floor of this
Sex starved room
The nightmare's fires burn
The waves of bliss
I tried to stop it with my hand
I was lost in the kiss
With you
Mood swing whiskey
Your bliss, the actress,
Bliss, the assassin
Bliss, the abyss
Did a crazy shot of whiskey
In about zero to sixty
All i could see was the beer
I face the future with a drink in my right
Eyes to the sparkling gloom
Body naked, afraid, and amazed
Say boost me up to your junkyard paradise
Boost me up to your junkyard paradise
With a sweet-ass photo of you
She cheated, and she lied, and you stole her
Stung my tongue just like
Sweat from her shoulder
Ooh, mood swing whiskey
Your love, the destroyer
Love, the destroyer
Love, love...
Yes mood swing whiskey has my brain
Only you can break this chain
Are you here in my bed again
Can you hear my love again
Run down the subway station babe
I'm packing my rod
All and present histories erased
I am a punishing god
Mood swing whiskey
Yeah the leaves are made of
Messy things again
And i said this is all the headless acrobats
Faces crushed in the circus dust
All for the law of gravity
And the price of admission
Beautiful loser warm hearts have let you down
Beautiful loser warm hearts have left you
Oh no, you...
I think of mankind in quotation marks
Ever since i took a drink from you
This is for all the headless acrobats
Faces crushed in the circus dust
All in the name of gravity
And the price of admission
Beautiful loser while eyes have let you now
Beautiful loser while eyes have let you now
Cause you're beautiful
I think of mankind in quotation marks
It's a song about a dream
Well i'm lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole
If only you'd come back to me
If you laid at my side
I wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied
Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless
I'm there in your arms
Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, so...
The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it's you I've waited my life to see
It's you I've searched so hard for...
Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
You got your 24 swastika tattoo yesterday
You got your 24 karat gold pierced earring in your nose.
Twenty-four years and you still don't know which way the wind blows.
You got no...you got no
You know when
disease
violence
wish away your parents.
You got yourself a girl with the face and the voice of a whore.
You don't want a phone.
But, you don't know what you kill yourself for anymore.
You got no...you got no...you got no...you got no
You're no soul rebel if you rip on your skin
You're no soul rebel with your boot in your shin
You no soul rebel, it's your own chance to fight
You're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no soul.
You call yourself a rebel but you call that man a nigger like they do
You call yourself a rebel but a woman
like they do
You call yourself a rebel but you don't talk, act, walk and piss like they do
You got no room, no soul, no out, no phone
So whadya got? A God to pray to?
You got no...you got no...you got no
You're no soul rebel if you spit on your sister
You're no soul rebel with your boot on your shin
You no soul rebel, it's your last chance to fight
You're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no
You call yourself a rebel but you call a man a nigger like they do
You call yourself a rebel but you put your woman down like they do
You call yourself a rebel but you rape, scheme and lie like they do
You got no woman, no song, no drone
So what have you got, a God to pray to?
You got no...you got no...you got no...you got no
You're no soul rebel if you rip on your skin
You're no soul rebel with your boot in your shin
You no soul rebel, it's your own chance to fight
You're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I walk by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
All the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down this lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord I paid a cost, on the lost highway
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
Buy she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that --
I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
I used to know a little square
So long ago, when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
Wonderful fair with swings and all
I used to love my little fair
And at the close of everyday
I could be found, dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played
Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie
This serenade...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played
Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie
This serenade...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux"
I can't forget my little square
Even though I'm so far away
I can't forget my little fair
Maybe it's still there, still there today
I sometimes hear that little tune
playing in a dream of long ago
And in my brain runs the refrain
That old French refrain I used to know...
"Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.
We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make
her stay.
I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find
They say everything can be replaced
But every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man that put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
Say, I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Oh yeah
But you know, whoa
Ooh yeah
They're standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out he has been framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Everybody say with me
I see my light come shining
What about west or east
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
Stood along this lonely track
Watching the trains speed along
Weep, oh willow weep
Let me hear your song
So that my soul can be filled with joy
My heart and I
So alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Tell me Mama
"Oh How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you, you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I will try not to break it
My heart and I
So alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Oh tell me now
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you, you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I will try not to break it
My heart and I
So alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Tell me sister
How long will it take me, will it take me
Oh so alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
How long will it take me, will it take me to be your man again?"
Your wish is my command!
Have you heard this talk about eye contact
Gonna be the downfall of this town
First the photographs take you to the right hands
Leads you to the authority mold
Paranoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you're done for
Done for, done for, oooh....
Phantoms in pockets, we're in panic
Making order in total disgust
Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay
Take you down, on the ground
Paranoia will write this world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you're done for
Done for, oooh....
Make sure you learn to beware your neighbor
Bolt the doors and hire your guards
Suck your life with their virus called language
Someone told you this all would go down
And the last thing you see is the luster
Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends
Would your underground please call the mayor
Call the neighbor, call your friends
Paranoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you're done for
Done for, done for, oooh....
Well, when he first saw you
You'd need no protection
Eyes trained on your mouth
You'll learn to take him
Hmmm, It's a brand new power, oh
My friends had her questions right
Beware your neighbor
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard
That we're done for. Oh
Learn to beware your neighbor
And the right mode
Haven't you heard?
Haven't you heard
That we're done for, done for ? Oh
When I count down from ten
You'll feel the lead in your lids
You'll have no need to exist
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before, I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow, ohh
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wa-wa-wait in the fire
Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle, tingles
And the trumpets play slow
Farewell Angelina
The sky is on fire
And I must go
There's no need for anger
There's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove
Ev'rything's still the same
Just a table standing empty
By the edge of the sea
Farewell Angelina
The sky is trembling
And I must leave
The jacks and the queens
Have forsaked the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina
The sky is folding
I'll see you in a while
See the cross eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap
And they cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fast
King Kong, little elves
On the rooftops they dance
Valentino, type tango's
While the make up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is embarrassed
And I must be gone
The machine guns are roaring
The puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina
The sky is erupting
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
I'm only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I'm a stranger in this town
You're free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me
Oh, I'm only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There's nothing in our way
My love
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And I'll rise like an ember in your name
I know I, I know I
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Oh let me show you
That love can rise, rise just like embers
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But I tell you I'm the one
I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
If i had wings like noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one i love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
If i met your man, who was long and tall
I'd hit his body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
One of these days and it won't be long
Call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
I remember one night, a drizzling rain
Round my heart i felt an achin' pain
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
When i wore my apron low
Couldn't keep you from my do'
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Now i wear my apron high
Scarcely ever see you passing by
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Now my apron's up to my chin
You pass my door and you won't come in
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
If i had listened to what my mama said
I'd be at home in my mama's bed
I see faces and traces of home back in New York City
So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard?
Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood.
They call me the trail blazer - Rael - electric razor
I'm a pitcher in the chain gang, we don't believe in pain only as strong,
'cos we're only as strong, as the weakest link in the chain.
Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen,
I had to get it out of me, if you know what I mean, what I mean.
You say I must be crazy, 'cos I don't care who I hit, who I hit.
But I know it's me thats hittin' out, and I'm, I'm not full of shit.
I don't care who I hurt. I don't care who I do wrong.
This is your mess I'm stuck in, I really don't belong.
When I take out my bottle, filled up high with gasoline,
You can tell by the night fires where Rael has been, has been.
As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame, but me.
Held my heart, deep in hair,
Time to shave, shave it off, it off.
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for ape. No!
Off we go.
You're sitting in your comfort you don't believe I'm real,
You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel.
Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash,
But it was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash.
And I've tasted all the strongest meats,
And laid them down in coloured sheets.
Laid them down in coloured sheets.
Who needs illusion of love and affection
When you're out walking in the streets with your mainline connection?
Connection.
As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame, but me.
Held my heart, deep in hair,
Time to shave, shave it off, it off.
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
