Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept; now it's growing cold.
Jesse your face, in the place where we lay
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared; I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home.
Jesse the stairs in the halls, recalling
Your step; and I remember too.
All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey
And I still set a place on the table at noon
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared; I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home.
Jesse the spread on the bed,
It's like when you left, I kept it for you.
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And are seemingly new; hey Jess, me and you.
We'll swallow the light on the stairs
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unawares
Oh mother, say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me
(chorus)
Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you
Annie, keep reminding me
That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
Sally, tell me once again
How he set me up just to see me fall
Chorus
Jesse, quick come here
I won't tell a soul
Not even myself
Jesse, that you've come back to me
My friends will all say "She's gone again'
But how can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heave again because you've come back to me - Oh Jessie!
Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you
Jesse, let's open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends, let's comfort them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low
Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
He found a letter.
Someone had slipped it under the door.
Said I gotta tell you something,
I never told no one before.
I know it sounds crazy.
I can hardly bring myself to say,
But the feeling is oh so strong now,
I can't hold out another day.
I hope you can take it said that way.
When I say,
I wanna fuck you, Jesse.
I wanna fuck you, Jesse.
I wanna fuck you 'cause I got the right
To love a man whose stupid, ugly, and white.
I wanna say ";fuck you,"; Jesse Helms.
She got a message,
Just another beep on the message machine.
Said I feel so guilty,
I think it's time that I come clean.
I thought I knew better.
I thought I had chosen the proper words to say.
I wanted to be so honest.
Tell you a story you've never heard,
Now that I finally got the nerve.
I wanna fuck you, Tipper.
I wanna fuck you, Tipper.
'Cause you showed me that
Things are still the same.
Everybody's parents turn out lame.
I wanna say ";fuck you,"; Tipper GoreHe heard her crying,
But he couldn't make out a word she said.
She was alone and frightened.
She was wishing she was dead.
She knew it was hopeless.
He was way up there, and she was way down here.
Still she called his name out
In a voice that was loud and clear.
She said I know it sounds so weird,
But I wanna fuck you, Johnny.
I wanna fuck you, Johnny.
I wanna hold you down
And fuck you while you squirm
And force you to bring that thing to term.
I wanna say ";fuck you,"; John Paul II.
Got to say ";fuck you"; Tipper Gore.
Just got to say ";fuck you"; Jesse Helms.
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)
Oh mother, say a prayer for me

Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
To save her from the beast
To save her from herself
And all the troubles
She imagines in the world, oh Jesse
You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart
They sail off to the sun
He makes romance
The story always stops the same way
A happy end, oh Jesse, Jesse
You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart
So strong and handsome
Like a raging river You tantalize
You sparkle
You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart
The only one she trusts
The only man
She runs her fingers down the index
And there she stops at hero, Jesse
You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
Jesse, come home
There’s a hole in the bed
Where we slept
Now it’s growing cold
Hey Jesse, your face
In the place where we lay
By the heart, all apart
It hangs on my heart.
And I’m leaving the light
On the stairs.
No, I’m not scared
I wait for you.
Hey Jesse, I’m lonely
Come home.
Jesse, the floors
And the boards
Recalling your steps
And I remember too
All the pictures are fading
And shaded in grey
But I still set a place
On the table at noon.
And I’m leaving the light
On the stairs.
No, I’m not scared
I wait for you.
Hey Jesse, I’m lonely
Come home.
Jesse, the spread on the bed
Is like when you left
I’ve kept it up for you.
And all the blues and the greens
Have been recently cleaned
And they’re seemingly new
Hey Jes, me and you.
We’ll swallow the light
On the stairs
We’ll do up my hair
And sleep unaware.
Hey Jesse, I’m lonely
Nose holes caked in black cocaine
Pow! Pow!
No one holds a match to your skin
No dupe
No chiming
A way off miles off
No needle through a glove
Famine is a tall tower
A building left in the night
Jesse are you listening?
It casts its ruins in shadows
Under Memphis moonlight
Jesse are you listening?
Six feet of foetus
Flung at sparrows in the sky
Put yourself in my shoes
A kiss, wet, muzzle
A clouded eye
No stars to flush it out
Famine is a tall tower
A building left in the night
Jesse are you listening?
It casts its ruins in shadows
Under Memphis moonlight
Jesse are you listening?
Pow! Pow!
In the dream
I am crawling around in my hands and knees
smoothing out the prairie
All the dents and the gouges
And the winds dying down
I lower my head
Press my ear to the prairie
Alive, I'm the only one
Left alive
I'm the only one
Left alive
I'm the only one
Left alive
Alive
I'm the only one
Left alive
I'm the only one
Left alive
I'm the only one
Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in
He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again
Jesse you're a fool to yourself
'cause you won't stop
You can't take it with you
Jesse you're losing yourself
Ooh... Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh... Don't be a fool again... Jesse
Jesse, there's a whole world out there
that you can't ignore
But nickel bags and chrome-lined cars
is that all that you want?
Jesse, you can't get their respect if you don't stop
you don't even want to
Jesse, you're losing yourself
Ooh... Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh... Don't be a fool again... Jesse

From a phone booth in Vegas, Jesse calls at five am,
to tell me how she's tired of all of them.
She says, "Baby I've been thinkin' 'bout a trailer by the sea.
We could goto Mexico, you, the cat, and me.
We'll drink Tequila and look for seashells. Now, doesn't that sound sweet?"
Oh Jesse, you always do this, everytime I get back on my feet.
Oh Jesse, paint your pictures about how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better. Your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea.
Oh Jesse, you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh Jesse, you can always sell any dream to me.
She asked me how the cat's been. I said, "Moses, he's just fine.
But he used to think about you all of the time.
We finally took your pictures down from off the wall.
Oh Jesse, how do you always seem to know just when to call?".
She says, "Get your stuff together, bring Moses and drive real fast."
And I listened to her promise, I swear to God this time it's gonna last.
Oh Jesse, paint your pictures, about how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better. Your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea.
Oh Jesse, you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh Jesse, you can always sell any dream to me.
I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm, white sand.
And who know, maybe this time, things will turn out just the way you planned.
Oh Jesse, paint your pictures, about how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better. Your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about, our little trailer by the sea.
Oh Jesse, you can always sell any dream to me.
Jesse, come home, there's a hole in the bed

I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unaware
My friend I've been watching you trying
Watched your life take a beating
Watched the light inside leaving
Bring it back

He started on the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he could make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson go down in history
So vote, vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
Vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
Vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
Vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
See Ronald Reagan speaking on TV, smiling like
everything's fine and dandy
Sounded real good when he tried to give a pep talk to
over 30 million poor people like me
How can we say we got to stick it out when his belly is
full and his future is sunny?
I don't need his jive advice but I sure do need his
jive time money
The dream is a nightmare in disguise (Let's talk about
Jesse)

They got me walking around, saying freedom's come but
my body is free and my mind is dumb
The people ain't black but the house is white and just
because I'm different they don't treat me right
They done cast me aside and held me down, dragged my
name down to the ground
Oh beautiful for spacious skies with your amber waves
of untold lies
Look at all the politicians trying to do a job but they
can't help but look like the mob
Get a big kick back and put it away, watch the FBI
watch the CIA
They want a bigger missile with a faster yet but yet
they forget to hire you the vet
Hypocrites, just talkin' trash (Let's talk about Jesse)
Liberty and Justice are a thing of the past (Let's talk

They want a stronger nation at any cost (Let's talk

The 30th day that's in December is a day that
everyone's gonna remember
Because on that day a righteous man, thought about
taking a brand new stand
The name of the man is Jesse Jackson and his call is
for peace without an action
'Cause now is the time to change the nation without
just another negotiation
He went to the East for human rights to free a
lieutenant shot down in flight
Just another statistic and the government knew it, they
didn't even want the man to go do it
Before he left, he called the president's home and
Reagan didn't even answer the phone
But I tell you one thing and that's a natural fact, you
can bet he calls Jesse when Jesse got back
He started on the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he could make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson go down in history
So vote
Hypocrites just talking trash (Let's talk about Jesse)
Liberty and Justice are a thing of the past (Let's talk

Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
When i think of home
i think of a resting place
a place where theres peace, quiet, and serenity
and thats where some of my friends have gone
friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in oz
a journey ill never forget
When i think of home, i think of a place
wheres theres love overflowing
i wish i was home, i wish i was back there
with the things ive been knowing
Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning
sprinklin the scene
makes it all clean
(when i think of home)
maybe theres a chance for me to go back
now that i have some direction
(maybe theres a chance ill get home)
it sure would be nice to be back at home
where theres love and affection
And just maybe i can convince time to slow up
givin me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up
time be my friend
and let me start again
Suddenly my worlds gone and change its fate
and i still know where im going
i have had my mind spun round in space
and watched it growing
And oh, if youre listening, god, please dont make it hard
to know if we should believe the things that we see
tell us should we try and stay or should we run away (should we run away)
or will it be better just to let things, let them be, oh
Livin here in this brand new world
might be a fantasy
but its taught me to love, oh, yeah
and its real, its so real, its real to me
And ive learned that we must look
inside our hearts to find
a world full of love
like yours, like mine
Like home
like, like home
(when i think of home)
my friends smilin down on me
givin me their energy, oh
(when i think of home)
i think of a peaceful world and joy
all around me, yeah
(when i think of home)
and love that we share can never
never, ever be taken away from me, yeah, yeah, yeah
(when i think of home)
i just sit down and think
and gets on down in my bone, bone, yeah
(when i think of home)
i can hear my friends tellin me
stephanie, please sing my song
i wanna sing, i wanna shout
Jesse sees her life before her
Stand naked in the dark
Here comes the sun hold down a curtain
For it may touch and leave a mark
Children try to talk together
They simpley cannot catch the phrase
Sometimes laughter is somehow murder
Shader glass of thousand ways
children sing with fantasy words
They …let back your games
Jesse sings to them without words
And they love her untill she complains
But then again her youth has ended
She’s walking where she used to crawl
Crying now before their laughter
Children finished first of fall
children sing with fantasy words
They play and let ………..back your games
Jesse sings to them without words
they love her untill she complains
Se um veleiro repousasse
na palma da minha mão
Sopraria com sentimento
e deixaria seguir sempre
Rumo ao meu coração
Meu coração, a calma de um mar
Que guarda tamanhos segredos
De versos naufragados e sem tempo
Rimas de ventos e velas
Vida que vem e que vai
A solidão que fica e entra
Me arremessando contra o cais
Rimas de ventos e velas
Vida que vem e que vai
A solidão que fica e entra
Me arremessando contra o cais
Two hearts come into one,
and you're the only thing that keeps her from coming
undone.
She writes poetry and loves your whole family,
it's meant to be.
She says, "You're the only one that doesn't see every
flaw in me and I love you more than anything.
This has lasted so long,
I could write about you in ten hundred songs.
You're the only one i need,
Jesse you're everything to me."
You've made plenty of mistakes
and every girl knows your name,
and that smile makes them go insane.
You've been through rough times, so have I.
When you just wanna sit and cry,
I'm right there by your side.
Jesse you're everything to me.
You're the only one that doesn't see every flaw in me
and I love you more than anything.
This has lasted so long,
I could write about you in ten hundred songs.
You're the only one i need,
Jesse you're everything to me.
And when you break my heart in two,
I keep running back to you.
Because you're the only one that doesn't see every flaw
in me and I love you more than anything.
This has lasted so long,
I could write about you in ten hundred songs.
You're the only one I need.
You're the only one I need.
Jesse
Had a bad two years
She was full of fear
Jesse had more than two tears
She said cheers
Gone with the air
Life isn't fair
Just with a heart of terror
Where did it come from
This heavy heart thats numb
I don't need one little slope
Where did it come from
The heavy heart thats numb
Jesse
With tears of rain
Don't try to change the past pain
Hope that your life will sustain
Soon they will make Jesse Lane
Gone with the air
Life isn't fair
Just with a heart of terror
Where did it come from
Your heavy heart is numb
I don't need one little slope
Where did it come from
Your heavy heart is numb

Vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
The 30th day that's in December is a day that everyone's gonna remember
Because on that day a righteous man, thought about taking a brand new stand
The name of the man is Jesse Jackson and his call is for peace without an action
'Cause now is the time to change the nation without just another negotiation
He went to the East for human rights to free a lieutenant shot down in flight
Just another statistic and the government knew it, they didn't even want the man to go do it
Before he left, he called the president's home and Reagan didn't even answer the phone
But I tell you one thing and that's a natural fact, you can bet he calls Jesse when Jesse got back
He started on the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he could make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson go down in history
So vote
Hypocrites just talking trash (Let's talk about Jesse)
