As I recall it, the sun was high,
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
He used life as a toy.
In a Marie-Antoinette room
We were introduced soon,
I was me and you were you,
How do you do ?
Raggedy and tousle-haired
He looked as though he never cared
To run a comb where a comb should run,
Freckles from the sun.
Many good times we have had,
We been happy, we been sad,
But I think we both feel glad
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
As I recall it, the sun was high,
If I remember, the sun was high,
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
He used life as a toy.
Many good times we have had,
We been happy, baby, we been sad,
But I think we both feel glad
That this life is so mad.
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Yellow in the blue, blue sky,
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
He used life as a toy.
This Song IS NOT by the bouncing souls, it is by Drop Kick Murphy's!
Well, I stumble,
and trip, And I'm all drunk and full'a smoke.
My wife said, I have had enough, that's it,
I'm sick, get out!
So I stumble down to Kelly's Pub,
Across the edge'a town.
I told the boys me story,
And we had another round!
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight,
Yes, We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!
And Mary McGregger,
Well she was a pretty whore.
She'd always greet you with a smile,
And never locked her door.
And on the day she died,
All the men in town did weep,
For Mary McGregger
Finally got some sleep!
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! (Hey)
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! (Hey)
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight,
Yes, We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!
Well I once loved a girl,
I child, I'm told.
I gave her my heart,
And she gave me a cold.
So now I sit, standin' here,
Out in the pourin' rain.
I'll stumble back to Kelly's Pub,
And cry away me pain.
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! (Hey)
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! (Hey)
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight,
Yes, We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and FIGHT!

When I look out my window,
Many sights to see.
And when I look in my window,
So many different people to be

Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star.
Multi colour run down over your body,
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot truth is molten.
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang:

Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.
Crystals sparkle in the grass, I polish them with thought
On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught.
Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know
Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go
In the night time,
In the night time.
Gypsy is the clown of love, I paint his face a smile
Anyone we ever make we always make in style. Yeah!
Yeah, strange young girls with radar screenings, yeah,
And hands as quick as hate
I won't just now, later on maybe and even then I'll wait
In the night time,
In the night time.
Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.

Here comes the roly poly man and he's singing songs of love,
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly he sang.

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise,

That's the time, that's the time,

Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Of the time, of the time
She walks through the stars
Past Saturn and Mars
Who knows how she feels
With the moon on her heel
She glides through the night
In Swirling soft flight
Owls hoot and stare
As the wind lifts her hair
She's my lady of the Stars
She's my lady of the Stars
Springtime for me has gone, where is she ?
Waking in the blue dawn, where is she ?
Someday I'll say to her "I am here."
Smiling her words will be "I am cheer."
I know she'll wait for me,
Well, I know she'll wait for me to come to her.
Springtime for me has gone, where is she ?
Waking in the blue dawn, where is she ?
Lazy adorn and adorn she will be
Drowsy sleepy with blue I am here.
I know she'll wait for me,
Can I be of assistance, my love ? Sha la la la la la la la la
I will help you out into the room Sha la la la la la la la la
And you know what I'm thinking that very soon we will be a-drinking
>From the cup of joy you have brought From the cup of joy the lady brought

Is the arrow for me, love ? Very soon I think I'll know
If I never return from in her eyes Sha la la la la la la la la

Jennifer Juniper
Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill,
Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still.
Is she sleeping ? I don't think so.
Is she breathing ? Yes, very low.
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love ?
Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare,
Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair.
Is she dreaming ? Yes, I think so.
Is she pretty ? Yes, ever so.
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love ?
I'm thinking of what it would be like if she loved me.
You know just lately this happy song it came along
And I like to somehow try and tell you.
Jennifer Juniper, hair of golden flax.
Jennifer Juniper longs for what she lacks.
Do you like her ? Yes, I do, Sir.
Would you love her ? Yes, I would, Sir.
Whatcha doing Jennifer, my love ?
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper.
Jennifer Juniper vit sur la colline,
Jennifer Juniper assise très tranquille.
Dort-elle ? Je ne crois pas.
Respire-t-elle ? Oui, mais tout bas.
Qu'est-ce que tu fais, Jenny mon amour ?
Walking
walking after you.
I'm walking
walking after you.
Walking
walking after you.
Thinking
talking
walking
all my ways with you.
Dreaming
dreaming over you.
Dreaming
dreaming over you.
Scheming
scheming what to do.
Dreaming and a scheming
spending all my dreams on you.
Singing
singing for you
moving and agoing
One day when a man among the throng
Will see his way is wrong
The Universe will shine
One day when the kind you see in dreams
Will baffle all our schemes
The Universe will shine
One day with a smile a wound will heal
And with awareness feel
The Universe to shine
One day when immensity is near
This man will conquer fear
And Universe will shine
Shine ye spinning orbs of light
Shine ye crystal stars so bright
All ye harmonised by love
Set in motion, moved by love
One day when the scientist he'll see
The loving energy
Make Universe to shine
One day when the secrets of the Sun
Enlighten everyone
The Universe will shine
This day as I stand before you all
I hear the Cosmos call
The Universe will shine
Shine ye spinning orbs of light
Shine ye crystal stars so bright
All ye harmonised by love
Set in motion, moved by love
Con-cen-tri-ca-lly cycled
Perfect pa-ra-bo-lic soul
In-de-scri-ba-bly beloved
Universal Heart She said
In the silver sadness of the moon
I read a prophet rune
The Universe will shine
In the golden temple of the Sun
I see the Fiery one
The Universe will shine
Homo-Sapien am I no more
Beyond beyond I soar
Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing
And the leaves dance and play after you.
Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower.
Take care with my heart, oh darling, she's made of glass.
Your eyes feel like silence resting on me
And the birds cease to sing when you rise.
Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted.
Take care how you fly, my precious, you might fall down.
In the pastel skies the sunset I have wandered
With my eyes and ears and heart strained to the full,
I know I tasted the essence in the few days.
We stood in the windy city,
The gypsy boy and I.
We slept on the breeze in the midnight
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes.
And who's going to be the one
To say it was no good what we done?
I dare a man to say I'm too young,
For I'm going to try for the sun.
We huddled in a derelict building
And when he thought I was asleep
He laid his poor coat round my shoulder,
And shivered there beside me in a heap.
And who's going to be the one
To say it was no good what we done?
I dare a man to say I'm too young,
For I'm going to try for the sun.
We sang and cracked the sky with laughter,
Our breath turned to mist in the cold.
Our years put together count to thirty,
But our eyes told the dawn we were old.
And who's going to be the one
To say it was no good what we done ?
I dare a man to say I'm too young,
For I'm going to try for the sun.
Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky,
Won't you look down what's happening here below?
I stand here singing to the flowers,
So very few people really know.
And who's going to be the one
To say it was no good what we done?
I dare a man to say I'm too young,
For I'm going to try for the sun.
We stood in the windy city
The gypsy boy and I.
We slept on the breeze in the midnight,
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes.
And who's going to be the one
To say it was no good what we done ?
I dare a man to say I'm too young,
When you're feeling kind of lonesome in your mind
With a heartache followin' you so close behind
Call out to me as I ramble by.
I'll sing a song for you,
That's what I'm here to do,
To sing for you.
When the night has left you cold and feeling sad,
I will show you that it cannot be so bad.
Forget the one who went and made you cry.
I'll sing a song for you,
That's what I'm here to do,
To sing for you.
When you feel you just can't make it anymore,
With your head bowed down you're staring at the floor,
Search out to me with your weary eyes.
I'll sing a song for you,
That's what I'm here to do,
To sing for you.
Now every man he has his work, you know,
And to find out mine, you ain't got far to go.
Call out to me with your weary eyes.
I'll sing a song for you,
That's what I'm here to do,
To sing for you.
Twelve king fisher birds shall you have
Dive and swim in the ripples of your laugh.
Oh, I dreamed you were a Jewel
Sitting on golden crown oh my head, my head, my head.
Look at the tiny oceans in-my hand
Waves of liquid colours touch the sand.
Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel
I stay behind I walk ahead
Apart yet a part of ev'rything
Nothing done and all is well
Never used yet always full
Out of nothing comes the one
Out of one comes the two
Out of two comes three
Out of three comes all things
The more it moves the more it yields
The valley spirit never dies
The root of heaven and of earth
Empty now of ev'rything
>From above it is not bright
>From below it is not dark
You cannot see when it began
Follow it there is no end
It has no aim it is so small
It has no name it is so great
It is not seen it is not heard
Nothing done or left undone
The weak can overcome the strong
The supple overcomes the stiff
Ev'ryone knows this well
yet so few can practice it
Out of nothing comes the one
Out of one comes the two
Out of two comes three
They grew right through the whole damned thing
>From the beatnik beginning
Pissed and Pilled and Puffed and Pricked
Down the highway of oblivion
As we dug the Rockin' Insects and
Moved to Mama-Mandrex
They saw right through our acid eyes
And released bonds of shame-sex
Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one
They felt our hippie happy days
They felt our deepest sorrow
They learned how to embrace the past
And the great Unknown Tomorrow
They'll soon put down this rock
That down the bog soon courses
Daft Decadence and nazi groups
Foul and hostile forces
Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one
They listened to the sky with you
They heard the bell of peace ring
The message in the flower
The symbol of awakening
They saw you give up meats and sweets
And practice control passion
And all this done stoned, on the run
And through the Veil went crashing
They saw you gain a mantra
>From the Master of the Wild Mind
Felt you feel way deep inside
Behind the Veil of Maya
Instinctively they opened up
Their spirit - eyes of Wisdom
Their Fairy Tale will never pale
Oh, the waters flow over rock and stone
O'er the waters blow windy wind so cold
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Oh, the rivers flow so old.
O'er the rivers fly stately kingfishers
Through the waters swim stickleback fishes
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Oh, the rivers flow so old.
Oh, the waters flow over rock and stone
Through the waters swim stickleback fishes
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Through the rivers swim so old
Oh, the rivers flow so old.
On the sidewalk the people are hustling and bustling,
They ain't got no time so they think on the thing
That will fill in the space in between birth and death.
Who're they kidding ?
On the TV the people are mumbling and grumbling,
They ain't got no hope so they give out the news
That the world's got the blues, S.O.S. S.O.S.
Bless my soul.
In the movies the people are identifying
They ain't got no season to split for no reason
And so they get by on the great community lie.
On the sidewalk the people are hustling and bustling,
They ain't got no time so they think on the thing
That will fill in the space in between birth and death.
Who're they kidding ?
( Murray / Harris )
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call.
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all,
Because you see I can't take no shape or form.
It's been three long years since I've been gone.
I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry,
I'll never know the reason why I had to go.
I'm crying,
Deep inside me,
Can't you see me
Can't you see me
I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me.
I feel so tempted to bring her over to see,
Just what it's like to be hanging on the other side.
I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died.
I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone,
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the Twilight Zone.
I'm crying,
Can't you hear me
Can't you see me
In the tiny piece of coloured glass my love was born
And reds and golds and yellows were the colours in the dawn.
Night brought on its purple cloak of velvet to the sky
And the girls go willing spinning on Jersey Thursday.
In the tiny piece of coloured glass my love was born
And reds and golds and yellows were the colours in the dawn.
Night brought on its purple cloak of velvet to the sky
Kiss me sweet lover
And linger long in ecstasy.
Mingle our fluids,
Flirt let me flame thee.
Come into my parlour,
Come sit but a droplet
Of my secret rain.
'Cause I'm the black widow, woe,
I'm the black widow, woe,
And I eat my love
And I eat my love
And I eat my love
And I eat my love.
I offer my pleasure
But never my love,
You may need me forever
But I don't need your love.
If you try to repel me
Your body will howl.
I set your spirit free,
You can depend on me.
'Cause I'm the black widow, woe,
I'm the black widow, woe,
And I eat my love
And I eat my love
And I eat my love
I'll sing you a song,
Paint you a painting,
Dance you a dance
While you're waiting.
What shall it be,
Chocolate or soda ?
I'm having tea,
Do speak louder.
Are you hungry ?
Brown bread and treacle,
Apple maybe ?
I've a tree full.
What do you know ?
What can you tell me ?
Something to show
Or to sell me.
Ah, here he's coming now,
I'll say cheerio.
Someone to meet
The clear-browed one
approaching o'er the water
soft the silver hues of purple
inward gazing
where the ripple on the lake
The clear-browed one
The clear-browed one
The pure clear girl
awaiting in the chamber
sad the longing
patient waiting
Trusting fully
hard the jeering in the hall
The pure clear girl
The pure clear girl
The gentle hand
light descending
melody slow soft ascending
Deep within
calm reflection on the one
The gentle hand
The pure clear girl
See my own reflection in the water
If I concentrate, the image still
I look kind of real just like I oughta
Be just a splash and Maya's secrets spill
Can't stop this illusion that I-DO
Giving myself burdens Mighty Grim
Let me dig and twig there's nothing TO-DO
Everything in order, evolving
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
Must be this illusion that makes ME-FEEL
All this pain and pleasure is my own
I-identify with duality
Whe I am the ONE to lead me home
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
But here I am again associating
Choosing one or the other again
While the tiny dewdrop on the blossom
Reflects my tiny image once again
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
Must be some good things to say about MAN
But one of them ain't that he's Aware
Alice had it right when she stepped over
Into Mirror land, the Truth is there
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
I strolled into a deserted seaside café
All on a winter's day.
I ordered up a cup of rich brown steaming tea
>From an old lady.
What happened to you, man, you used to be so free,
Now all you do is sit and dream
Of a fay girl green
By a mountain stream.
I strolled into a deserted seaside café
All on a winter's day.
I ordered up a cup of rich brown memories,
Sat and I watched the sea.
What happened to you, man, you used to be so free.
When you were as a mountain stream
Following a dream,
Following a dream.
What happened to you ?
In Tangier down a windy street
Where beggars meet and on old rags do sleep
The women dressed in soiled white sheet
With starving kids by their side.
With staring eyes that never weep
Old Moroccans with their elephantiasis feet
Who life and death treat so cheap
Happy in their hunger
For they live longer than their fathers.
In Tangier down a windy street
Where beggars meet and on old rags do sleep
The women dressed in soiled white sheet
With starving kids by their side.
With staring eyes that never weep
Old Moroccans with their elephantiasis feet
Who life and death treat so cheap
Happy in their hunger
My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to
The bridge
And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real cos I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey Ricki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know
And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And it's starting to show so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun
And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze.
Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes
On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes.
A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace
Lies still in the magic of a timeless place.
One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves
That rest on their hands with the touch of love.
On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down
And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown.
And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea
As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree.
The doves circle over and land in the trees
Where parrots are talking their words with such ease.
Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day:
"There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away."
If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers
To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers.
The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away
And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay.
>From out of the sun a giant gull came flying
And the children got ready to sit on its wings.
They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the trees
The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea.
They came to the castle and there they did fall,
And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall.
A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kind
Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind.
The clash of bright metal brought the children fear,
But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears.
Thus children held hands and they spelled out their name
All the golden children became a golden chain.
It lies on a white throne in a magic place
With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace.
My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake
On the firefly platform on sunny Goodge Street
Violent hash-smoker shook a chocolate machine
Bobbed in an eating scene.
Smashing into neon streets in their stillness
Smearing their eyes on the crazy Kali goddess
Listenin' to sounds of Mingus mellow fantastic.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.
In dull house rooms with coloured lights swingin'
Strange music boxes sadly tinklin'
Drink in the sun shining all around you.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh, mm mm.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.
The magician, he sparkles in satin and velvet,
You gaze at his splendour with eyes you've not used yet.
I tell you his name is Love, Love, Love.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.
Cat's a-sleeping in the sun,
Eyes take heed the colours call.
Sunlight patterns touch the wall,
Red kerchiefs sail and fall,
Cat's a sleeping in the sun.
Dragon kite in the sky,
Wheel and turns, spin and fly,
Attacked by rooks and never fail
To cry the sound of fairy tales.
The cat is walkin' in the sun.
All the pebbles I have seen,
Precious stones for Colleen.
Every minute I pass through
With the grooves spent with you.
The cat is yawning in the sun.
Jewelled castles I have built
With freak feelings of guilt.
And the words stab to the hilt,
Pick the flower and it will wilt,
Cat's a-shifting in the sun.
Marionette dangles death
Insensitivity is fed.
By the TV wizard's wand
Once in the spell you're conned,
Cat's a-smiling in the sun.
Cat's a-smiling in the sun,
Eyes take heed the colours call.
Sunlight patterns touch the wall,
Red kerchiefs sail and fall,
Slow down world
Major problem ahead,
You have been on the go
For a long, long time I know.
Take a rest from the race,
Why chase it ?
Slow down world,
Take a tip from old times.
You've seen how greed
Consumes you with its need.
Take a rest from the race
Why chase it ?
Happy is the man
Who rests when he can,
Let old man time's sand
Slip through his hand.
And happy is the gal
Who calls peace her pal.
If you want to be free,
You shall, you shall.
Slow down world,
Take a break for God's sake.
(Slow down)
You just can't stop your climb
Your money-mad climb up to the top,
Don't you just glance at the chance,
Why waste it ?
Don't chase it,
Why waste it ?
Happy is the man
Who rests when he can,
Let old man time's sand
Slip through his hand.
And happy is the gal
Who calls peace her pal.
If you want to be free,
You shall, you shall.
Slow down world,
Slow down world,
Slow down world,
Sleep now sleep
And so fade sorrow
Sleep beloved sleep
Sleep now sleep
Afar tomorrow
Sleep beloved sleep
You are home this night
Home of winter
Your home of autumn
Summer and spring
You are home this night
Lasting home
Eternal home
Your eternal home
Sleep of seven lights upon you
Sleep of seven joys
Sleep of seven slumbers on you
In your easy poise
You are home this night
Home of stillness
Your home of spirit
Being and bliss
You are home this night
Abiding home
Forever home
All you have to do is write a song
Not too smart now and not too long
Easy to listen to hard to forget
Then we'll cut it and press it
Release it while the words are still wet
All it really takes is to link a few lines
Hang em' on a hook and repeat a few lines
The words need not be committed
Though you'll be if it flops
So we're pickin' out your straight jacket
For the Top of the Pops
When I sing my song
My song of songs
I want the whole wide world
To sing along
Sing for me
I'll sing for you
I want the whole wide world
To sing it too
All they really want is
A witty little ditty
For the Broken hearted kids in
The broken down cities
Make it sort of simple
And make it sort of pretty
And take your time but hurry
'Cos the radio is hungry for your song
Sing my song
My song of songs
I want the whole wide world
To sing along
Sing for me
I'll sing for you
I want the whole wide world
The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico.
There in the valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jade
Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made
We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine
In that crystal thought time in Mexico.
Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine,
Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine.
Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet,
I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico.
Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night,
Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight,
Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp,
Valentino vamp in Mexico.
The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
I'm preachin' love
Straight from above
I know what to do, yes I do.
Well, I'm breathing love
Straight from above
I mean about what I said.
Well, I understand my congregation
Is made about the finer sex.
Well, I don't know about any segregation -
Anyone may read the text.
All I do
Is study you
In your natural habitat.
And as I do
I find that you
Are all worth saving at that.
Get around the world and listen
Life is love is life
And when you see the teardrops glisten
I'll have it from trouble and strife.
Well, I like to be beside the sea
Diggin' where we came or what for.
Well, I think that we
Were meant to be
That is all I ever saw, oh, oh.
Oh, I feel so exhilarated, yeah
In love with love, with love.
I'm never explicated
I just can tell you're enough.
That's right, yeah.
Well, I'm preachin' love
Straight from above
I may know to her what I heard.
Well, I'm breathing love
Straight from above
I mean about what I said.
Well, I understand my congregation
Is made about the finer sex.

Anyone may read the text.

Diggin' where we came or what for.

Were meant to be
That is all I ever saw, oh, oh.
Oh well I feel so exhilarated, yeah
In love with love, with love.
I'm never explicated
I just can tell you're enough.
Preachin' love, preachin' love
Preachin' love, preachin' love
Preachin' love, preachin' love
Walking, talking along a lonely shore
With your hair blowing soft on the breeze
I do dream you into my life
Gift me your love if you please
Please don't bend my heart
Made of glass
I can't promise to be here for you
Please don't bend my heart
She said to me
I can't promise to be here, be here, be here for you
Oh what a night the moon shining bright
Your kisses are sweeter than wine
Music floats on the breeze from the town
I lead you holding your hand in mine
Now you're trembling beneath my lips
Soon I'll be gone to the south
We say nothing, we two just know
Peregrine falcon hooded and flying
Whither you go blindly over the mountain.
Oh your boats upon the sea are very beautiful to view
By me, by me, by me, by me, I hope by you.
Oh your boats upon the sea are very beautiful to view
By me, by me, by me, by me, I hope by you.
Once I tried to be your friend, but I was undergoing change
The same as you, the same as me, the same as you,
The same as me, the same as you.
And from what I've read you say
You feel quite certain of the way
The world will go, the world will go,
The world will go, the world will go, and so am I.
Oh, oh and there will come a time
When to each other we'll be kinder
Than we were, than we were
And there will come, and there will come
With no obstacles, and no fear
Liberates herself, from illusion
Now to realise perfect Nirvana
Gone, Gone, Gone to the other shore
O-awakening. All hail.
Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana,
Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana,
All Buddhas in the past, present and future
Thanks to this, Perfect Wisdom
Arrive at full and right, universal enlightenment
Gone, Gone, Gone to the other shore
Gone, together to the other shore
O-awakening. All hail.
Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana
I drink sweet wine for breakfast, I slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence deciding on where to go.
"Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum,"
I think that's what she said, a little bit sad about having to leave them.
Yawning in the sun, like a child I run.
But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that.
No, don't it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that.
How little do you speak of beauty, isn't it a shame, what ho
Maybe you should go get a power ring, you'd make all your troubles go.
There she stood in drag, just-a lookin' cool in astrakhan.
She's lookin' just a little wiped out, she said I looked like Peter Pan.
Yawning in the sun, oh baby, like a child I run.
But don't do it if you don't want to,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
Oh no, no, don't do it if you don't want to,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
All for the love of leaving am I
All for the love of grieving am I
Looking for you in the longing of life
When all along you were here by my side
It's a high your
It's a high, it's a high your love
Far in the future or in the past
I was a drifting bound to the mast
Searching for you on the ocean of loss
And all along no ocean to cross
It's a high your
It's high, it's a high your love
All on the island she danced
Sleep of forgetfulness entranced
Gazing on new some distance star
Om-Shri Sai-Baba, so near, so far
It's a high your
It's high, it's a high your love
All for the love of grieving am I
All for the love of leaving am I
Looking for you in the longing of life
When all along you were here by my side
It's a high your
I'll buy you an electric car
So we can go out and look at the stars some time
I'll adopt a Third World family
And we can send them letters at Christmas time
I'll give up meat
Give up meat?
Are you crazy?
Maybe not, but I won't eat it in front of you
We can hire a van
A propane van
And let all the animals out of the zoo
Environment Girl
Let's live in a land of windmills
Environment Girl
You give me a whirl
I'll buy you a needle and thread
And fly you high, so you can sew up the ozone layer
When we're old and I've gone bald
We'll hit the town in my new recycled hair
My new recycled hair
No CFCs!
Environment Girl
Let's make the world young again
Environment Girl
As long as I'm home before ten
Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase,
Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale.
The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain.
Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne
Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently
Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight,
Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot.
The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain.
Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.

Exotic cruises to Mexico
The five star suite
The sex out on the beach
When you're with me a genuine 563
Has a man ever sex you down on a cashmere rug
I'm a supa dupa thug
So exotic so erotic
Velvet back rubs in the bathtub
Let's make love underneath a waterfall
Your trust I will fill the sky

There's a Brave New World awaiting all you kids out there
With a brand new way of getting through your day there
Don't you ever be mistaken about whose looking out for you
Ego is easily shaken when you find that it's only you
And this Brave New World
It's a Brave New World
It's a Brave New World
There's a disappointment awaiting all you fools out there
If you entertain the notion that society cares
In a world of nuclear fear presumably seeking peace
Our lives are drawn together by the sheer necessity
Of this Brave New World
It's a Brave New World
It's a Brave New World
They want a sad moronic, embryonic factory
Test tube Brother, test tube Sister it'll never be
Because the Light is slowly spreading the truth begins to dawn
Aquarius Ascending - Ignorance Begone
>From this Brave New World
It's a Brave New World
Get your bearings, know your time.
Don't you worry, weather's fine.
All the world knows what I'm saying,
All the world knows what I'm saying,
The world knows fine well.
Get together, work it out,
Simplicity is what it's about.
All the world knows what I'm saying,
All the world knows what I'm saying,
Walking in the seashore twilight,
It's then you spy carnival lights,
You slowly near the magic sight,
Tangerine sky minus one kite.
Take time an' tie your pretty hair
The gypsy driver doesn't care
If you catch your hair in the ferris wheel on top,
In the ferris wheel on top.
A silver bicycle you shall ride,
To bathe your mind in the quiet tide.
Far off as it seems your hair will mend
With a Samson's strength to begin again.
Take time an' dry your pretty eyes,
Watch the seagull fly far-off skies
To build its nest in the ferris wheel on top,
In the ferris wheel on top.
If ever I reach her.
And the moral here, if any, my friend:
Follow through your dream to the end.
Dig the seagull fly across the sky
To build its nest in the ferris wheel,
I had a dream as daylight touched the sky
As breezes chased along the winter lane.
I had a dream as dreams alone I dreamt
Has every man his chain,
Has every man his chain ?
A negro hid beneath a face of blood
And is there really anyone to blame ?
I marveled at the beauty of children's minds.
Has every man his chain,
Has every man his chain ?
I saw a beach of sand beside the sea
And there before me I saw every grain
And I wondered, well, it was best this way
Every man has his chain,
I love you like the sea
I love you like the sea
Everlasting Sea
Everlasting Sea
Everlasting Sea
Everlasting Sea
I love you like the earth
I love you like the earth
Everrolling earth
Everrolling earth
Everrolling earth
Everrolling earth
I love you like the sun
I love you like the sun
Evershinning sun
Evershinning sun
Evershinning sun
Evershinning sun
I love you like the sea
I love you like the sea
Everlasting Sea
Everlasting Sea
Everlasting Sea
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee, honey it seems to me
You love to see me crying
I stay home Each night when you
say you'll phone, you don't and I'm left alone
Singing the blues and crying
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever some body is near, dear
It must be, great fun to be
mean to me. You shouldn't for can't you see
what you mean, to me.
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace deep peace
Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you
Deep peace of the wandering wind to you
Deep peace of the flock of stars to you
Deep peace deep peace
Deep peace of the eastern wind to you
Deep peace of the westeren wind to you
Deep peace of the northern wind to you
Blue wind of the south to you
Pure red of the whirling flame to you
Pure white of the silver moon to you
Pure green of the emerald grass to you
Dare to be different - learn to be lonely
Dare to be different - learn to be lonely
If you don't want to, do what the rest do
Dare to be different
If you think you've got it - why don't you flaunt it
If you think you've got it - why don't you flaunt it
If you don't want to, do what the rest do
Dare to be different
Dare to be different - Dare to be different
Dare to be different - Dare to be different
If you don't want to, do what the rest do
Dare to be different
If you don't like it - Why don't you bike it
If you don't like it - Why don't you bike it
If you can't stand it - be like a bandit
Food in abundance, beggars and banks,
God in His Heaven and His priests in tanks.
Gold in the misery, sewer in the mind,
Greed and corruption of every kind.
They all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your head, look away again.
They all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your head, look away again.
They all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.
Fools in the Parliament, pollution in the stream,
T.V., poverty and the big bad dream.
Sex in the cinema, fear in the school,
Censorship committees, they rule/we're cool.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your heads, look away again.
Composure in the little pill, courage in the beer,
Mummy and daddy and the life of fear.
Human relationships cast away,
I hope we get together one of these days.
And they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
Candy man, he's been and gone

Common:
What yo yo yo yo yo
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Check it yo
You say a one for the trouble two for the time
Come on y'all let's rock that uh
(I can feel the funk)(x4)
Check it
I come to grips with mics
I come to grips that a lot of mic users is dikes
I come to grips with the likes of Fred Hampton
Cold so I'm lampin with no need for spotlight
When I got light like an intersection, you talk
But you came to my town with protection
Election year, had the block hot
I scream fuck the world for having a baby girl sorta cock block
I write rhymes like I come from the windy city
With my crew, I click like simply, stand midi with reality
Casually, I walk through these war games
Some claim say but then they take on whore names
If that's the way your sex drives, stay in your lane
If you're a man, I can't tell like if the door rang now
Chorus:
Now, to the ladies in the house when you come in the place
It ain't a bunch of niggaz all up in your face
The music is thumpin and you're feelin the bass
What you wanna do girl(wanna shout)
To the brothas when you come in a jam, it ain't a bunch of niggaz
It ain't high tech and ain't got free liquor
You jackin his name and stick to make you jones get thicker
What you wanna do man?(let go)
Yo, check it
Some niggaz be on the mic, sounding like dikes
Allow me to get on and bust like Spike(uh)
Lee, I'm in the majors with no rotation
Through stations of bullshit, I see through like a pager
In the age of Aquarius, various things
Is gonna carry us in intellect and what have you
Street astrologists interpret point stars and half moons
Then end up on garages or walls in bathrooms
Every black moon, a rap tune move me
The rap sun, I rain more than Rudy, that unruly shit is played
It don't stop
It's time to get it, get it made
I got my mind made up like Foxy Brown's face
I know how the underground tastes
I want a crib from the ground up, rooms spin at a round pace
Get down based on true story, through Corey, came close to the
teachers
Colder as the Iceman, posted before it start wrinklin
Linkin with cats, who don't react to change in the years
Fulfill prophesies in rooms full of emptiness, now
Chorus:
I can feel the funk(x8)
Yo, check it, check it
I came through the corridor, with the aura
Raw Chicago mora, scope the horror
Read between the lines and know the border
Some pop wines for juice, I wait in the water
Waitin for you Big Willie niggaz to have a show at The Crib
We gon get with your glamour, long as we know where it is
Tell you ain't a player by your sweater doused with wack feather
The Crib got the gangsta playa shit patent like black leather
I rap better than you, you, or maybe him
But I am like a tree and every lyric is a timb
Spilled brews and greasy foods got my car smelly
Some be so high, they believe they fly like R. Kelly
But then they fall off, dusted niggaz is gettin sawed off
They fall soft, my mental lift is for me to haul off
I kick ass
Chorus:
(scratching)
I can feel the funk(x16)(makes me wanna shout, wanna shout)(x4)
(scratching)Wanna shout
Stars 'round the fair moon veil their own shining
when She's full on the earth with the light of Her silver
Set you to rest on the softest of cushions
the black trance of night on our eyes like the river
Gentle the steps of the lovely young women
dancing in tune 'round the intimate shrine
Treading the soft smooth bloom of the grasses
Be mine and I will be thine
Be mine, be mine and I will be thine
Be mine and I will be thine
Be mine, be mine and I will be thine
Be mine and I will be thine
Venus is flashing aqua-marina
Jupiter rising into his sign
Here in the dusky rose of the dawning
Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
With hair coal black as a raven.
I travelled my life without a care,
Ah, but all my love I was savin'.
Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway,
Not much from life was I askin'.
Till I met someone to give all my love,
All my love, so long an' lasting.
Oh, good were the parts we played in our game
And a long ways off was tomorrow.
But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea,
And in the tide came sorrow.
Oh, a child of the night is goin' to be born,
I can't explain my confusion.
Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all
Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'?
I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room,
My friends they're smokin' and a-talkin'.
But it all seems so empty, my love is not there,
So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'.
My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must,
If I were to lose it, it would grieve me.
My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do.
Oh, how I yearn to help him.
Oh, we could go to the land of your choice
Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door.
I've a feeling in my heart and it's crushing all my hopes,
I think I'm gonna be hurt some more,
Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine,
With hair coal black as a raven.
I travelled my life without a care,
Domes upon the Desert
Shimmering through the haze
Sunset in the Desert
Listening to the crickets as they phaze
Lights move through the heavens
Colours glowing by
See the Astral Angels
Riding silver stallions in the sky
Astral Angel
You're no earthly bird I can tell
Astral Angel
I would be your friend if you fell
Astral Angel
Dancing through the dreamtime
You harmonise with the song
Fading through the dreamtime
Teach me how to dance and sing along
Astral Angel
You're no earthly bird I can tell
Astral Angel
I would be your friend if you fell
Astral Angel
Astral Angel
You're no earthly bird I can tell
Astral Angel
I would be your friend if you fell
Tonight my life is heavy, I'm weak and down at heel
The prisoner in the dungeon will know just how I feel.
I'm a well known has-been, a well known has-been,
I've got a brand on me.
When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see,
Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see.
How sad my disposition, how long can it I bear ?
How deep my melancholy, can anybody care ?
For the well known has-been, the well known has-been,
I've got a brand on me, yeah
When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see,
Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see.
Well known has-been
Well known has-been
Well known has-been, ooh, ooh, ooh
I pretend I'm unaffected by the chains that bear me down
And when only those who love me can see behind the frown.
I'm the well known has-been, the well known has-been,
I got a brand on me.
When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see,
Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see.
>From these broken days of anguish, some day soon I'm gonna rise,
I'm gonna raise my head to Heaven, I'm gonna fly the starry skies.
And the well known has-been, the well known has-been,
I'll lose the brand on me, yeah.
Sunny day while away the afternoon
Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink
>From the river drink.
Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel
Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small
Hover over river.
Diving, writhing, gnattring chiff chaff chattering
Woodpecker staggering hammering
Exaggerating off his find.
Do da do
Sunny day while away the afternoon
Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink
>From the river drink.
Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel
Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small
Josie, I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
Give me one more chance, the day is near.
The meadows they are bursting,
The yellow corn lies in your hand.
And with the night comes sorrow
As the tide of dawn sleeps on the land.
The long breezes are blowing
All down the sky into my face.
I've a weary kind of feeling,
Like my time has come and gone to waste.
I love you, darling Josie,
The trees of pine they grow so tall.
How come you came to love me,
When you didn't love me at all?
Josie I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie I won't fail ya,
Give me one more chance, the day is near.
My Josie looks a child now,
As she lies here on my breast.
In the night I think about her,
In the day I get no rest.
I cut me a young pine-cone
And I gave it to the river deep.
It sailed 'way by your window
Where you lay, so long in sleep.
God bless you, darling Josie,
With your sparklin' eyes so bright and clear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,
I won't fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won't fail ya,

Here we go
The people show
Victims of tomorrow
The way it goes
It never shows
Emptiness or sorrow
There is nothing left inside
Nothing left to cry for
So I justify my crimes
Things I must die for
So alone
Away it goes
The life that you have wasted
You never know
Where is might go
The sweet success you've tasted
Tasted by a bitter frown
Knowing I must die for
Can't confide, to all the lies
No one to inquire
As I wander, change of seasons
As I realize
That I'll soon be there
I'll let you know
The reapers show
Makes you beg or borrow
He comes to see
The tragedy
His fate he will not follow
Wearing your electric crown
The preacher starts to pray
Shiver as the lights go down
Heed these words I say
As I wander
Change of seasons
I can't ponder
I got my reasons
As I realize
I don't care
All I know is
That I'll soon be there
Now it's gone
The time has come
The people stand in silence
Another dawn
Has come and gone
His fate has been decided
There is no one left inside
A brain without a mind
Traces of a bitter man
Are all you will find
As I wander
Change of seasons
I can't ponder
I got my reasons
As I realize
I don't care
All I know is
That I'll soon be there
That I'll soon be there
That I'll soon be there
That I'll soon be there
There is a rapture that my soul desires
There is a something that I cannot name
I know not after what my soul aspires
Nor guess from when the restless longing came
But ever from my childhood have I felt it
In all things beautiful, in all things gay
And ever has its gentle unseen presence
Falling like a shadow cloud across my way
It is the melody in all sweet music
In all fair forms it is the hidden grace
In all I love, a something that escapes me
Flies by pursuit and ever visits face
I see it in the woodlands, silver beauty
I feel it in the breathing of the air
I stretch my hand to grasp for I can't touch it
But I do, well, I know it is not there
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
But ever from my childhood have I felt it
In all things beautiful, in all things gay
And ever has its gentle unseen presence
Falling like a shadow cloud across my way
Color in sky prussian blue
Scarlet fleece changes hue
Crimson ball sinks from view
CHORUS
Wear your love like heaven
Wear your love like heaven
Wear your love like heaven
Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven
Wear my love like heaven
Color sky havana lake
Color sky rose carmethene
Alizarian crimson
CHORUS
Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven
Wear my love like heaven
Cannot believe what I see
All I have wished for will be
All of our race proud and free
CHORUS
Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven
He's five foot two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
Been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will
Kill you for me my friend and me for you
And he's fighting for Canada
He's fighting for France, he's fighting for the U.S.A.
And he's fighting for the Russians
And he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he's fighting for Democracy, he's fighting for the Reds
He says "It's for the peace of all"
He's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him
How would Hitler have condemned him at Labau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on
He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from here and there and you and me
And brothers can't you see
This is not the way we put the end to war
Oh, God is playing marbles with his planets and his stars
Creating havoc through my life with his influence on Mars
That's why I'm stumbling down the highway on my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels
In the present position of the planets it's impossible for me to say
Just when I'll find my course again with these boulders in my way
I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels
Instead of stumbling down this highway on my boots of steel
Cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels
That's why I'm stumbling down the highway on my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels
Oh, God is playing marbles with his planets and his stars
Creating havoc through my life with his influence on Mars
That's why I'm stumbling down the highway on my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels, cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Once in a town in the black forest a little white toy-shop stood.
And the little tin soldier with only one leg lived in a castle of wood.
And across the room on another shelf stood a little glass case,
And a tiny ballerina lived in there all in her dress of lace.
And from where the little tin soldier stood they could see each other so clear
And the little tin soldier watched over her with a love that was so dear.
Then one day sadness came: the tiny ballerina was sold.
The little tin soldier was thrown away and into the gutter he rolled.
The water carried him to the sea and many far-off lands.
He made many children happy as he passed through their tiny hands.
And then one day they met again in a house in the land of Eire
And when the clocks on the wall struck the midnight hour
They jumped into a fire
And in that fire they shall stay
Forever in the day.
For the fire, Lord, is the fire of love,
Shadow of cloud falls and with it a chill
High o'er heather, hawk hover the hill
Just begun is my journey and Danu's my name
I am the juggler of fortune and fame
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Feathers of raven, slithers of coal
Armour of silver in the mackerel shoal
Sun in the west it is ruby blood red
Travelers a-weary do make their bed
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore, legends and magic
Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
Better get into what you gotta get into
Better get into it now, no slacking please
United Nations ain't really united
And the organization ain't really organized
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
Won't be coming around
For to kill your snakes no more my love
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Everybody who read the Jungle Book
Knows that Riki Tiki Tavi's a mongoose who kills snakes
When I was a young man I was led to believe
There were organizations to kill my snakes for me
IE, the church, IE, the government, IE, the school
But when I got a little older I learned how to kill them myself
I said, "I need to get Riki Tiki, mongoose is gone"
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
Won't be coming around for to kill your snakes, no more my love
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
People walking around, they don't know what they're doing
They been lost so long, they don't know what they're looking for
Well, I know what I'm looking for but I just can't find it
I guess I gotta look inside of myself some more
Oh oh oh, inside of myself some more, some more now
Oh oh oh, inside of myself some more
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi, mongoose is gone, last time
I saw you today
You were going my way

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight
In sunshine and in shadow
Did journey long, singing a song
In search of Eldorado
But he grew old, this knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado
Over the mountains of the moon
Down the valley of the shadow
?Ride boldly, ride the shade?, replied
?If you seek for Eldorado?
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow", said he, "Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?"
Over the mountains of the moon
Down the valley of the shadow
?Ride boldly, ride the shade?, replied

Circus of Sour
Holds shows every hour
The lion is eating the bars, hey, the bars
I was erected
The poor man's expected
To climb to the stars
Balanced just on one knee
Look out your window and see
Look out your window and see
The clown chases spotlights
The bear faces hot lights
Pelted with peanuts and coke, hey, the coke
And high in the tent-top
The lady just went up
To hang by a rope
From her teeth gracefully
Look out your window and see
Look out your window and see
Admission is paid up
Until you are laid up
There's only one catch to the fun, hey, the fun
To hell if you're willin'
Your name's on the billin'
And it seems that you're wanted
In ring number three
Look out your window and see
I'll look out my window and see
On a lone and windy hilltop beneath a roof of tin
In a little wallpapered bedroom I done my growin'
'Twas there I dreamt my dreams, I hung my jeans
And wandered through my puberty as all do
My mother was a tight nut bound up with false guilt
Strapped up in her fearing wall she had built
The independent girl in a dark and cruel world
She'd lost the way to say, "OK, now lay back"
We disagreed on most things, I shouted peace and love
The family is mankind, the symbol of the dove
She only saw the surface of things before her face
But I was young and argued on for hours
My father he liked poetry, a scholar he might have made
Had nothing, born a poor boy barefoot and underpaid
So the man worked with his hands up and down the land
His dreams forgot he thought that I must follow
With his marks as worker's wisdom he'd read a thing or two
He once had been a Mason but he never followed through
Always kind and thoughtful, smelling of mushy oil
And he read me poetry of visionaries
I flunk my way to college, a looser kind of school
But we bobbed and played time arty, feeling cool
Just to live an artists diggin' the ravin' scene
Reading Kerouac and Ginsberg well deuced
I was not academic, Art and English neat
The history of mankind I liked that a bit
And what was I to do? The choices they were few
I done right disgrace to the working classes
I done right disgrace to the working classes
I done right disgrace to the working classes
You see this kind of chick in every town.
Whenever there's a scene she's always hanging around
She's so naïve and innocent, stares at to it all
She's only fourteen but she knows how to draw.
Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her.
She never gets involved with blowing her cool
She's to visit painting sky with her classmates in school
Teachers they ignore, they would if they could
She ain't quite grown up yet but her credence's real good.
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She's my supergirl and I love her

Oooh baby, I love you
It's saturday night
Don't it feel like a Sunday in some ways
If you had any sense
You'd maybe go away, for a few days
And be that as it may
You can't only say, that you love me
You are just a young girl
You're working your way thru the phoneys
And coffee on, well millstone?
It's a sad light unfading
And you're soft, you touch
Ooh not too much, baby
They say it's degrading
Your friends they all make you
A pop star or two every evening
And you know it seems backward,
They can't see the patterns they're weaving
Your skin's so light
You'd like maybe to go to bed soon
So just close your eyes
If you're to rise up before noon
And high heels and car wheels
Yeah, loosers, they are groovin' yeah
Ohh, your dreams, strange things
Images are moving, all around
Young girl blues
It's Saturday night
Don't it feel like a Sunday in some ways
If you had any sense
You'd be there lady, awww baby for a few days
And be that as it may
Well you can't only say that I'm so lonely
And you are just a young girl
You're working your way
Just a young girl
Young girl blues
Young giel blues
Watch out for the phoneys
I say, you are just a young girl, ooh yeah
You are just a young girl, ooh yeah baby
You're just working your way
You're just working your way
Through the phoneys, yeah
You've got the young girl blues
The wine's just fine.
You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone,
You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone.
Hmm, hmm, your eyes are black as midnight,
Death comes trippin' and a-runnin',
You gonna need somebody on your bond.
You're gonna miss somebody when I'm gone,
You're gonna miss somebody when I'm gone.
Hmm, you're gonna wake up tryin',
You're gonna wake up cryin',
You're gonna miss somebody when I'm gone.
I don't just see-ee the rising sun,
I don't just see-ee the rising sun.
An' I'm gonna wake up in the mornin'
My eyes all stargazed.
You're gonna need somebody one of these days.
You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone,
You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone.
Well, you wake up in the mornin',
An' death comes trippin' and a-runnin',
The days of wine and roses are distant days for me.
I dream of the last and the next affair and of girls I'll never see.
And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,
The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue,
The retired writer in the sun.
Tonight I trod in the starlight, I excused myself with a grin.
I ponder the moon in a silver spoon and the little one 'live within.
And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,
The retired writer in the sun.
The magazine girl poses on my glossy paper aeroplane
Too many years I spent in the City playing with Mr. Loss and Gain.
And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,
The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue,
The retired writer in the sun.
I bathe in the sun of the morning, lemon circles swim in the tea
Fishing for time with a wishing line and throwing it back in the sea.
And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun,
The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue,
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do,
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?
There's just as many geese and they're flyin' down South
As there are lies just pouring out of your mouth.
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?
You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse
But sometimes I get so low down I wanna shout out, What's the use ?!
When you've been a lovin' someone else you don't try to hide
You take me for a fool then you take me for a ride.
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?
Ah, you seen my face, gal, with the tears all down my mouth.
You came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about.
I seen you goin' out, there was nothin' I could say,
I hung around your house till the very break of day,
Then you came a-laughing down the bright highway.
Now, why do you treat me like you do ?
My mornings, they're all empty now, my evenings, they're just the same,
Now maybe I been thinkin' wrong about you, gal, and you ain't really the one to blame.
Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide,
You can take me for a fool if it keeps you satisfied,
'Cause I ain't gonna be the one to ask the reason
I can see by your eyes you're a good girl
And the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You got a friend called ramblin' Trudi,
Oh Johnny never looked at that friend.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
I can see by your eyes you're a sad girl
And the little chain around your neck.
You got to face down a ramblin' sunset,
Oh Johnny never looked at that bad.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
I can see by your eyes you're a good girl
And the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You got a friend called ramblin' Trudi,
Oh Johnny never looked at that friend.
Won't you go to bed with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Won't you go home with me
Won't you take a chance babe with me.
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away
Trudi would you, could you, would you Trudi
Would you, could you motor away for me.
Trudi, Trudi, would you, would you, could you
Trudi, Trudi, Trudi motor away
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away
Trudi motoring, Trudi motor away.
Dear Susan, I know you love me so
But I want to hear it in my ear.
You know I'd be there working at my craft
Had it not been for the draft.
Dry up your tear and feel no fear,
You're here with me like I'm there with you.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,
>From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
To Susan on the West Coast waiting,

I'm writing a note beneath a tree,
The smell of the rain on the greenery.
Our fathers have painfully lost their way,
That's why, my love, I'm here today
Hear me when I say there will come a day
When Kings will know and love can grow.

There is an ocean of vast proportion
And she flows within ourselves.
To take dips daily we dive in gaily,
He knows who goes within himself.
The abode of Angels, the mystical Promised Land,
The one and only Heaven, the God of man
Is but the closing of an eyelid away.
There is a silence of pure excellence
And she flows within ourselves.
To appreciate, re-deactivate,
He knows who goes within himself.
The domain of Devils, the Fearful Land,
The only and only Hades, the Satan of man
Is but the closing of an eyelid away.
All is as it was and ever more shall be,
Though they try to tell us it's not so.
Over all the earth there's nothing new to see,
Excepting every seed will newly grow.
Innocence in childhood false men misconstrue
To be years of darkness spent in shade,
Denying childhood's vision of the God of Love,
So that Truth be turned about and untruth made,
And untruth made.
There is a reason for every season
Of change within ourselves.
To navigate, re-appreciate
And know the flow within ourselves.
The deliverance from Deluge, the good dry land,
The one and only Haven, the rock of Man
Is but the closing of an eyelid away.
There is a season, ooh,
There is an ocean, ooh,
Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan.
Went out to fight the good fight in South Vietnam,
Went out to fight for peace, liberty and all,
Went out to fight for equality, hope, let's go,
And the war drags on.
Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones,
Millions without faces, without hope and without homes.
And the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones
That the flesh had long since left just as the people left their homes,
And the war drags on.
They're just there to try and make the people free,
But the way that they're doing it, it don't seem like that to me.
Just more blood-letting and misery and tears
That this poor country's known for the last twenty years,
And the war drags on.
Last night poor Dan had a nightmare it seems.
One kept occurring and re-occurring in his dream:
Cities full of people burn and scream and shoutin' loud
And right over head a great orange mushroom cloud.
And there's no more war,
for there's no more world,
And the tears come streaming down.
We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,
About a-midnight hour
And it almost b-b-blew my mind,
I got caught in a coloured shower.
All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset,
I saw a sign in the sky
It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip,"
I couldn't keep up up if I tried.
Ah, we stepped down to reality company
To get some instant sleep
And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back"
He smiled and he said, "Beep beep".
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
What goes on all around me,
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
When in should come-a my dream woman,
She got sequins in her hair,
Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film,
She sat in a white straw chair
But I thought I'd take a second look
Just to see what I could see
And my scene had popped out like a bubble does,
There was nobody there but me.
I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me,
But you ain't in a Wonderland
You know I might-a be there to greet you, child,
When your trippin' ship touches sand."
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
A silver goblet of wine is-a to be
Held in a bejewelled glove
And her knights they toast the tournament,
The falcons they fly above.
And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight
But the jester she cries alone,
Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell
To make the devil's white knights moan
And-a all in all, the seagull said,
"As I look to where I've been,
The whole wide human race
Has a-taken far too much Methedrine".
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
What goes on ? So near
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
Yeah well, come on.
We sat in a velvet jewel case
With sparkles everywhere,
And Julian he sat on a diamond ring
And-a talked of the days gone by.
We spoke of a common kaleidoscope
And the pros and the cons of Zen
And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake
He really did have a yen.
Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter",
A broken hour glass in his hand,
And-a Joannie sat in a white lace
Looking cool with a black lace fan.
What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.
What goes on ? I really wanna know.
What goes on ? Yes please tell me.
The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day-ay-ay-ay.
The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day-ay-ay-ay

The wind is a very fickle fellow
He blows all my dreams away-ay-ay-ay.
The wind is a very fickle fellow,
Blowing all my dreams away-ay-ay-ay
Blowing all my dreams away.
The rain is a very sad lady,
She falls down on me sometimes.

She falls down on me sometimes,
Falling down on me sometimes.
The sea is a very, very old man,
Deeper than the deepest blue.

The moon is a typical lady,
I watch her wax and wane.

A star is so very far away, love,
Just between you and me.
A star is so very far away, love,
Just between you and me,

A song is a pillow for my sadness,
She sings all my cares away.

Sings all my cares away-ay-ay-ay,

Loving all my cares away-ay-ay-ay,
She sings all my cares away.
Singing all my cares away-ay-ay-ay,
It was up some laughing river where I'd gone to spend the day.
I had such fantastic visions I could hardly stand to stay.
And I stood within myself and suddenly felt free,
And I stood above the burdens that puzzle you and me.
I became awareness that was shared with all around,
With the trees, the sky, the flowers, and the wind, the sun, the ground.
I heard the birds were singing and I found them same as me,
And I understood our sorrows and why they should not be.
I saw this plane of living, it was nothing more than faith,
A skin that covered glory, far beyond our love or hate,
A living crystal fairyland where loving is our grace,
A pyromanic garden that knows no time nor space.
I saw what we've been doing to it, saw it as insane,
Still a marching like good Christians with our wars, the sword, the flame,
To crush all those damned infidels, defend what should be shame.
And again I shared our sorrows and knew we all must bear the blame.
I see it all as part of us to know and share alike
With a universal willingness to know and do what's right,
To understand our brotherness and stop this awful race,
Let our children grow in peace, know their life shall not be waste.
First there is a mountain, then it seems the mountain's gone,
But then, if you take another look, why, it's been there all along.
We can be just like that river as it laughs along its way,
I'm not very fancy in the mid of air,
I'm not proud to say I am merry here.
I've found a girl and I love her so,
Groovy, groovy woman and she set me free.
Hark awhile and listen to this love song.
Give me for sometimes I wanted to
Take her to the woods and show her what to do.
She could see the stars if she's looking up,
Drink the sweet juice from a loving cup,
Show her what it is to make a love song.
Hey, have you ever seen the lonely ones
Putting down the lovers for having fun ?
The very same thing that would set them free,
They should catch an evening with my lover and me,
Whoopee!
I'm not very fancy in the mid of air,
I'm not proud to say I am merry here.
I've found a girl and I love her so,
Groovy, groovy woman and she set me free.
Hark awhile and listen to this love song.
Hey, have you ever seen the lonely ones
Putting down the lovers for having fun ?
The very same thing that would set them free,
They should catch an evening with my baby and me,
I Died ... and I sighed
As the chains of the flesh left me
As the moans and the groans
Of the friend sent me
On my way to the Land of the Dead
I flashed ... that my soul was Unharmed
As my earth form I shed
That the image of death had been
A thought in my head
And the truth was a spirit am I
I sussed ... that my life had been a lesson
Chosed by me
For to purify my Soul that I may be
Worthy to shine forth the Light
the Light
the Light
As I moved ever up-ward
A Great Light there came
More feeling than seeing
And it filled me with Shame
Like a Bright Shining mirror reflecting my being
My present condition of Soul I was seeing
I Beheld ... Forms of Great Beauty
That shone forth the Light
With love vibes they met me
A cast off my fright
Those great souls of Ages long passed
I praised the Great Souls of the Ages
Who care for our needs
Who lovingly nurture
Wisdom's bright seed
Showing the way to the Light
the Light
the Light
I ached ... for the womb and the Earth
And another time around
Seking circumstances
The best that can be found
To give me the lessons to learn
I was Born ... and thru childhood
My soul still rembembered the Light
And thru teens I fought fiercely
For my vision of the Light
When I saw Mum and Dad had forgot
I like a pale Caucasian
I like an olive Asian
I like a Polynesian
I like a slim Afrikaan
Ladies from every land - love!
The International Man
I like a Red Indi-an

The International Man (I am he)
The International Man
The International Man (can't you see)
Ladies from every land - love!
The International Man
I like a Marvellous Martian
A Vivacious Venusian
I like a leggy-Libran
With just a touch of Scorpion
Ladies from every plane - love!
The Interplanetry Man
The Interplanetry Man
The International Man
The International Man
Ladies from every land - love!

>From within the ...endless sky
the silence surges softly through me
Listening to the ...desert sigh
in the presence fo the Bo tree
Comes the dawning of the day
Dreaming as in a trance
Comes the rising of the moon
weaving...in Maya's dance
The only thing to...really learn
living in the evernow
To only know the single moment
living in the evernow
All things...they must pass
that which is born will die
Existence as...transient
clouds in an autumn sky
Comes the dawning of the day
dreaming as in a trance
Comes the rising of the sun
nothing ever left to chance
The only thing to...really learn
living in the evernow
To only know the single moment
All the boys in the neighbourhood
Would love you if they could
But I'm easy
But I'm easy
But I'm easy.
Now that you're in demand
Handle it if you can
'Cause it's easy
'Cause it's easy
'Cause it's easy.
I'll take you anywhere,
Buy ribbons for your hair.
You need me anyway
And you know what I'm going to do.
Now the boys as you look about
May be funny to work out
But I'm easy
But I'm easy
Sunshine came softly through my
Window today
Could have tripped out easy but I've
I've changed my ways
It'll take time I know it
But in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it,
We'll do it in style
Cause I've made my mind up
You're going to be mine.
Uhm hm hm hm
Every trick in the book, now baby,
That I can find.
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got
Nothin' on me.
I can swim like a turtle or fly like
Your ships in the sea.
It'll take time I know it
But in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it,
We'll do it in style
Cause I've made my mind up
You're going to be mine.

Every trick in the book, now baby,

Everybody's hustling just to
Have a little scene.
When I say we'll be cool, I think that
You know what I mean.
It'll take time I know it
But in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it,
We'll do it in style
When you've made your mind up
Forever to be mine.

A groovy place to live.
In the Portobella I met a fella with a cane umbrella,
Who must've used a sieve.

Sailing homeward, it's time to go home,
Over the ocean of life we must roam.
And when you get there, say hello for me,
For I've a long, long way to go.
There may be stormy days, there will be fires
There will be valleys with mountains to climb.
And when you get there, say hello for me,
For I've a long, long way to go.
Whenever I wander weary, I'll reach for you,
I know you'll be there for to see me through.
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
And when you get there, say hello for me,
I dwell in the north in the green country,
Far I'm here, far I'm here
And I take to my rest at the end of day,
Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play.
And then I dream along,
Then I make a song
About everything that I've known and felt,
And it makes my sadness melt
Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day,
The rain has gone away,
Watching the children sing and play
In the garden and the roadway.
Up comes a little one singing a song
About a friend she knows called Rosie.
Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie.
All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly.
Oh, I dwell with my pride and my songs and things
Wearily, oh so wearily
And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye
Sundaily, whatever she may be.
And then I dream along
Then I make a song
About everything that I've known and felt
And it makes my sadness melt.

About everything that I've known and felt,
I'll sing you a song called Pamela Jo,
A girl with a sweet melody, don' you know,
The words are very easy to follow,
So you can know Pamela Jo.
She loves to go to railroads on rainy days
Dream about the distant land, so she says.
The tracks are very easy to follow,
Why don't you go, Pamela Jo ?
She looks just a little like a circus child,
She just can't wait to let her hair grow wild.
She's got very top top secret charms -
She works all day to get her paper filed.
She's easy to play on piano or juke,
She had a hard time when first she was took
But still she's been a model child, an open book
So now you know Pamela Jo.

Whew!
Now, it makes no difference what you do, I love you, babe.
Well, I need your lovin', I need it bad, oh deed I do.
Now, you don't believe me when I say I love you, babe.
I wanna know the score, all I want is more, oh deed I do.
I wanna lay you down, prove to you I love you, babe.
I wanna turn you on to my lovin', babe, Oh deed I do.
I got the blues like a Gypsy Dave never has, babe.
I got a jealous dream of losing you, oh deed I have.
Now I can never say I'd ever miss you, gal,
'Cause I'm proud as a king, I wanna hear you saying "Oh deed I do."
Won't you break my mind and take your time to love me, babe.
You've shattered my brain with a mean saying, oh deed you have.
And you've taken every thought of love I'm thinkin', babe,
you've hung them high, gonna let them dry beneath the sun.
I'm gonna bend the bones that hold my blues together, babe.
I'm gonna stretch the string that my troubles bring to me each night.
I'm gonna sing a song with words that say I love you, babe.
I say I need your lovin' and need it bad, Oh deed I do.
Now, it makes no difference what you do, I love you, babe.
My henna-haired gal's all there in coffee-coloured lace,
Wearing such a pretty smile upon her face.
Her little angel's fluttering around and pulling on her dress,
And you know that's the way she like it best.
She's a new age mother, she don't take no bull,
She don't dig that attitude in school.
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
And if you use a cup in the kitchen, you gotta wash it yourself,
When it's clean, put that cup back on that shelf.
She don't dig none of that old-fashioned jazz
Where women do all the chores,
She can think and open all her own doors.
She's a new age mother, she don't take no bull,
She don't dig that attitude in school.
She's a new age mother, she more than a lay,
Lindee got a lot to give and say.
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
In the night
In the dark night
There's a light
That shines on me
And the lady of the lamp she
lies by me and holds on tight
In my mind
In constand mind
I am restless
Yet sincere
And the lady of the lamp fears
nothing. She's the mystic kind
In this life
In this dark vale
One is rarely truly loved
And the lady of the lamp loves
only me I am her grail
In the dawn
In the blue dawn
As the sun begins to rise
The lady of the lamp sighs
darkness passed and gone
Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill
Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still
Is she sleeping? I don't think so
Is she breathing? Yes, very low
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love?
Jennifer Juniper rides a dappled mare
Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair
Is she dreaming? Yes, I think so
Is she pretty? Yes, ever so
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love?
I'm thinking of what it would be like if she loved me
You know just lately this happy song it came along
And I like to somehow try and tell you

Jennifer Juniper longs for what she lacks
Do you like her? Yes, I do, sir
Would you love her? Yes, I would, sir
Whatcha doing Jennifer, my love?

Jennifer Juniper assise trs tranquille
Dort-elle? Je ne crois pas
Respire-t-elle ? Oui, mais tout bas
Qu'est-ce que tu fais, Jenny mon amour?
Do you have a shirt that you really love,
One that you feel so groovy in ?
You don't even mind if it starts to fade,
That only makes it nicer still.

My shirt is so comfortably lovely.

When they are taken to the cleaners,
I can't wait to get them home again.
Yes, I take 'em to the cleaners
And there they wash them in a stream,
Scrub a rub dub dub
And there they wash them in a stream -
Know what I mean.
Do you have some shoes that you really love,
Ones that you feel so flashy in ?
You don't even mind if they start to get some holes in
That only makes them nicer still.

You're such a good friend
I'd hate to have you as an enemy
From the first time we met
I knew you were the one to set me free
You liked me, I liked you
You liked me, I liked you
Holding my heart in the palm of your hand
Headed out west for the Indian lands
Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind
Burning your body to fill in the time
Sad city sister [Incomprehensible]
I knew naively that I was your man
I followed after with heavy heart of lead
Just like a man, he who walks, yet is dead
I asked you to dance
And you wondered and you thought you might
So we went and took a chance
On the catwalk in the cold starlight
I held you, you felt me
I touched you, you kissed me
Holding my heart in the palm of your hand
Headed out west for the Indian lands
Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind
Drugs ate your body to fill in the time
Sad city sister [Incomprehensible]
I knew naively that I was your man
I followed after with heavy heart of lead
Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree
Swaying in a summer breeze,
You'll never change what has to be.
Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.
Sometimes I don't know what I said till I did,
I want to be the father of your kid.
Dragonfly he sleeps till dawn,
I knew I'd be here when love has gone.
Crystal ball is what I wish for you,
Get it straight, I love the both of you.
Someone's goin' through a cold turkey.
Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.
I give your baby a contact high
I love another is what I sigh -ha-
Looks like rain, I do declare,
Your baby wants to take my chocolate eclair.
I couldn't cry, I could not laugh,
Incident about a silken scarf.
I know what a jealous trip can be.
Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.
Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree
Swaying in a summer breeze,
You'll never change what has to be,
Girl ain't nothing but a willow tree.
Weep for me, willow tree,

My, your hair is longer now, it's prettier by far,
Hope you don't feel too unusual riding in my flash car.

Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand,
How many years have you been here ?
Little human upon the sand
>From where I'm lying here in your hand,
You to me are but a passing breeze.
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself.
Now you have my blessing, go your way.

Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.

You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
No gold worth digging for
Without your golden love
No treasure rich enough
To be without your love
No sorrow deeper than
To be away from you
No distance farther than
A night not spent with you
No diamond brighter than
The light within your eyes
No star I gaze at
Brighter in these skies
No sadness deeper than
This longing for you
I'd give it all up
To be with you
This night of darkness
I lay upon my bed
All alone and lonely
Remembering words you said
No goal worth striving for
Without your golden smiles
Never again we'll part
Look on yonder misty mountain
See the young monk meditating rhododendron forest
Over dusty years, I ask you
What's it been like being you ?
Through all levels you've been changing
Getting a little bit better no doubt,
The doctor bit was so far out.
Looking through crystal spectacles,
I can see I had your fun.
Doing us paperback reader
Made the teacher suspicious about insanity,
Fingers always touching girl.
Through all levels you've been changing
Getting a little bit better no doubt,
The doctor bit was so far out.
Looking through all kinds of windows
I can see I had your fun.
Looking through all kinds of windows
I can see I had your fun.
Looking through crystal spectacles
I can see I had your fun.
Looking through crystal spectacles
I can see I had your fun.
Rebelling against society,
Such a tiny speculating whether to be a hip or
Skip along quite merrily.
Through all levels you've been changing
Elevator in the brain hotel
Broken down a-just as well-a
Looking through crystal spectacles,
Ah, I can see I had your fun.
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
My love she's a flower
Perfuming the air where'er she blooms,
With her silk and her incense
Harmonising hotel rooms.
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Red Egyptian hair,
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Watch the people stare.
I bought you lace and velvet,
And Victoriana trinket,
Dressed you up in Art Nouveau
When nobody else kink it.
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Red Egyptian hair,
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Watch the people stare.
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Pre-Raphaelite child,
Let loose your henna braid,
Fuzz your hair out wild,
An' my belly is cravin', I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
When I was a young man I learned not to care
Wild whiskey in front an' I often did swear
My mother and father said, "Whiskey is a curse
But the fate of their baby, is a many times worse"
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about the man
Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think
That I'm a-livin' my life with abandon to drink
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
I will live a few days as a slave to codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' my belly is cravin', I've got a shakin' in my head
An' I've started heatin' oh, whether my body has said
Stab yourself with the grains of cocaine
An' you'll end up dead or you'll end up insane
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' my belly is cravin', I've got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise up on codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

Should you wander this land to the North,
And few seldom do,
Should you follow the song of the gull
To enchanted western isles,
Coax a fisherman to take you out
Where the silky seals are seen,
Hear the stories that they tell about
The maiden who is their queen,
The maiden who is their queen.
Celia of the seals,
She knows just how they feel,
Celia of the seals.
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"
Seal hunters are not brave and bold,
They murder her poor wee seals
And cut off their skins to be sold,
Cursed be he who deals.
There's no reason for this slaughtering,
They're left on the rocks to bleed
He's not a man who does this thing,
It's a cruel and a heartless deed,
A cruel and a-heartless deed.
Celia of the seals,
She knows just how they feel,
Celia of the seals.
Celia of the seals,
Celia of the seals,
She knows just how they feel,
Celia of the seals,
Celia of the seals,
Celia of the seals,
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"
Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try
The changes I'm going through ?
A hidden lie would fortify
Something that don't exist
But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad,
So many more things to do,
I intend to come right through them all with you.
My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind
We talk a while by a crooked stile,
You're lucky to catch a few.
There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand,
It's a pleasure to be true.
In my crystal halls a feather falls
Being beautiful just for you
But that might not be quite true, that's up to you.
Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake
A strange young girl sang her songs for me
And left 'fore the day was born.
That dark princess with saddening jest
She lowered her eyes of woe,
And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try
The changes she's going through
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind.
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
When sundown pales the sky
I wanna hide a while
Behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing,
T'would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Dee dee da da la da da da da da
Ya da da, da da, da da
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near
To kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.
For standing in your heart
Is where I wanna be
And I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
The long gone breezes are blowing down the sky.
>From my window to the street I cast my weary eye.
Everything is quiet in the lonesome dusky night.
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night.
I remember the days when the sun was warm with love
Softening as the day grew old in dazzling streaks of gold.
Now my days are meek, the sunset's the cruellest time
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night.
I feel I want to ramble to the shores of the mighty sea
Pounding in my ears the wind so wild and free
To stumble in the high grass, the sand a-glowin' white
My eyes they feel, they break and spell the darkness of my night.
My sorrow is confusing, my love will never know
My empty hands they lie down by my sides so low
I walk this sleeping tunnel and the highway in-between bright
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night.
Riding feathered wings to lick like I'm a dog
Oft I've heard the world as it cries out for some love
Cries out for someone, a little compassion and light
Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
Your thoughts they are of harlequin, your speeches of quicksilver,
I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
On the quilted battlefields of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin
The big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead just so to win.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negroes
Thinking not of beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow.
Seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
I pray your dreams of vivid screams of children dying slowly
And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflecting.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with your blackest Queen
Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
Take off those clothes,
They're strangling you,
Let out your human song.
Take off those clothes,
They're suffocating me,
My body wants to sing along.
My body wants to sing!
For every up there is a down,
For every smile there is a sad frown.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
Shake off those thoughts,
They're strangling you,
Let out your human song.
Shake off those thoughts,
They're suffocating me,
My body wants to sing along.
To lie at rest upon your bosom,
Tongue still taste thy maiden musk.
To lie within your woman's warm
Upon your rising falling form.
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
She came with her blue jeans on
Wanting to star in a song.
Get you with your ins and outs of it,
You're coming on strong, so strong
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna make love to you.
She lifted my spirits high,
I noticed the dream in her eye.
Softly I entered her garden
Parting her veil with a sigh.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do,
I'm going to give my love to you.
I tidied up my last affair,
I lost so much I don't care
Felt like a fool in a foolery,
But I'm well on my way to repair.
I know you ain't no hanger on,
Baby, you can star in a song.
I took a look inside her head,
I saw a Victorian bed.
I took her to the fair green country,
I'm so weary of the life I've led
I'll tell you what we're gonna do,
Been a-lookin' for a good girl,
But it's taking time.
A-been a-lookin' for a good girl,
A-one to please my mind as well as my time.
I've been singing in the evening,
Flying through the night.
But I hurt my good gal,
I hope she makes out right,
Flying through the night.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
I've been drinking down the rain, girl,
I've been picking up the sunshine,
it makes me think on when I'll see you again.
You know time could bring a change, girl,
It ain't for me to say.
You'll soon be out of range, girl,
A-this could only be the way it's meant to be.
Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight,
The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion
Seagull flies across my eyes forever.
Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades.
Would I, should I, could I be a stranger,
I shall walk right by and sigh goodbye.
Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside.
Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades.
I've been lookin', oh yeah,
I say I've been lookin' far a good girl,
You better believe it, baby, yeah!
Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, oh yeah!
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
Ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you
As a pilgrim I did go
To a land that I did know,
To the shores of Trist la Cal,
To see if I still felt
The same.
And the sun blazed madly insane,
But the seagulls they have gone,
The seagulls they have gone.
I searched the sand for sound,
My eyes forced to the ground.
The wind it laughed wild and shrill,
My heart it tried to spill
Its crazy tears.
There is nothing left for me now
For the seagulls, they have gone,
The seagulls, they have gone.
I stand both young and old
But the winds of time blow cold.
This much you must believe:
It pains to see you grieve.
I pity you,
But there is nothing that I can do
For the seagulls, they have gone,
The seagulls, they have gone.
As a pilgrim I did go
To a land that I did know,
To the shores of Trist la Cal,
To see if I still felt
The same.
And the sun blazed madly insane,
But the seagulls, they have gone,
She came, she came to meet a man, she found an angel
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
He very wise in the herbal lore's got young cure now
She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Fine fine, fine fine acelandine be prepared for her
Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star
Multicolor run down over your body
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot, truth is molten
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was my name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was my name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was my name now
The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
Six cheap people in an empty hotel
Every last one with a story to tell
Give them all pills, so their heads won't swell
We were borne to a woman whose husband did quite well
Oh, sunshine, shone brightly through my window today
Could have tripped out quite easy but I decided to stay
"Hold out your hand", said Whitey with the blame
"I'm gonna bring you up so you really dig the pain
Take you under my wings so you'll never be the same
'Cause your wife is so much older and both her legs are lame"
A sunbeam shone brightly through my window today
Could have gone twenty miles but I decided to stay
All my flock has packed up and flocked back to hell
Open up the doors so the place don't start to smell
Carry on with what your doing 'cause you don't to it that well
I've been umpteen different people and no one else can tell
Sunshine shone brightly through my asshole today
Could have tripped out quite easy, man but I decided to stay
Stay a while, stay a while
Come up and see me and make me smile
