The body is the scar of your mind,
The scar turns into a wind of pain
It passes mountains after mountains,
It passes the cities and my country
O'wind, o'wind,
Oh, oh, oh, wind, oh, oh
oh, o'wind
But when it passed the world nine times,
The wind turns into a breeze
O'wind, oh, oh, oh
O'wind
Wind
Greenfield morning I pushed an empty
Baby carriage all over the city.
Greenfield morning,
Greenfield morning.
Greenfield morning,
Greenfield morning,
Greenfield morning.
Greenfield morning,
Greenfield morning,
Greenfield morning.
Greenfield morning I pushed an empty
The body is the scar of your mind,
The scar turns into a wind of pain
It passes mountains after mountains,
It passes the cities and my country
O'wind, o'wind,
Oh, oh, oh, wind, oh, oh
oh, o'wind
But when it passed the world nine times,
The wind turns into a breeze
O'wind, oh, oh, oh
O'wind
Wind
Mountains may move, river may run
But you make me be myself, you make me be
How do I tell you, how do I tell
You're the one
Stars may move, time may run
But you make me free myself
But you make me free
How do I tell you, how do I tell
You're the one, you're the one
In the world's eye, we were Laurel and Hardy
In our minds, we were Heathcliff and Cathy
In a moment of wisdom
We were a wizard and a witch
In a moment of freedom
We were Don Quijote and Sancho
In reality, we were just a boy and a girl
Who never looked back
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How can I tell you
How could I tell you
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
I bought a brand new airmobile,
It was a custom made, it was a flightning deal.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing,
Push in on the button, you will hear her sing.
Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know I'm goin' like cool breeze.
Hey! hey!
Well, you walk!
You walk!
New jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours,
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzle showers.
Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me,
Then come waving goodbye in a little, old souped up jitney.
I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll,
Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol.
I let out my wings, then I blew my horn,
Bye-bye, new jersey, I become airborn.
Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know I'm goin' like cool breeze.
Hey!
Well, you walk!
Yeah, walk!

Flying with my baby last saturday night,
Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight,
Big, full moon, shinin' up above,
Cuddle up, honey, be my love.
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen,
I'm gonna name you maybellene.
Flying on the beam, set on flight control,
Radio tuned to rock and roll.
Two, three hours passed us by,
Altitude dropped into five-o-five.
Fuel consumption, way too fast,
Let's get on home before we run out of gas.
Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know I'm goin' like cool breeze.
Git it on!
Yeah, walk!
Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it!
Git it on, git it on.
-"nine!"
From liverpool
To tokyo,
What a way to go.
From distant lands,
One woman, one man,
Let the four winds blow.
Three thousand miles over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of the rising sun.
Love has opened my eyes,
Love has blown right through.
Wherever you are, (wherever you are)
You are here. (you are here)
Wherever you are, (wherever you are)
You are here. (you are here)
Three thousand miles over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of surprising sun.
Well, now east is east
And west is west,
The twain shall meet.
East is west and west is east,
Let it be complete.
Three thousand miles over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of the morning star.
Yes, I'm your angel
I'll give you everything
In my magic power
So make a wish and I'll let it come true for you
You're my fairy
You give me everything
I ever wanted from life
Have I made a wish and is that why I have you?
We believe in pumpkins that turn into princesses
And frogs that turn into princes
We believe in moons that smile to us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes
Yes, I'm so pretty
You're so dizzy
And were so happy everyday
Let's make a wish and let it come true for us
I'm in your pocket
You're in my locket
And were so lucky in every way
We make a wish and let it come true for us
We believe in houses built in the sky
And love that lifts us high
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulders
And brings our shadows together
Yes, our hearts are one
Our bodies, too
And it's so good, every time
We make a wish and let it come true for you, too
Happy birthday, my love
I'm your angel
I'll give you everything in my magic power
Yes, I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
I don?t care what you say
My voice is real, my voice is truth
I don?t fit in your ways
I?m not gonna die for you
You might as well face the truth
I?m gonna stick around
For quite awhile
Yes, I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
Each time we don?t say what we wanna say, we?re dying
Each time we don't say how do we feel, we?re dying
Each time we gotta do what we wanna do, we?re living
Each time we?re open our minds to what we see, we?re living
Yes, I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
I don?t care what you say
My voice is real, my voice is truth
I don?t fit in your ways
I?m not gonna die for you
You might as well face the truth
I?m gonna stick around
For quite awhile
Free you from the ghettos of your minds
Free you from your fears and binds
We know you want things to stay as it is
It?s gonna change, baby
It?s gonna change, baby doll
It?s gonna change, honey ball
It?s gonna change, sugarcane
It?s gonna change, sweetie legs
So don?t try to make cock-pecked people out of us
Don?t try to make cock-pecked people out of us
Don?t try to make cock-pecked people out of us
Don?t try to make cock-pecked people out of us
Yes, I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
I don?t care what you say
My voice is real, my voice is truth
I don?t fit in your ways
I?m not gonna die for you
You might as well face the truth
I?m gonna stick around
For quite awhile
I?m not gonna die for you
You might as well face the truth
I?m gonna stick around
For quite awhile
I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
I?m a witch
I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
I?m a witch
I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
I?m a witch
I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way?
And play the game of life with your heart
I gave you my knife, you gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said?
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry someday
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
Yangyang holds on to a giant phone
Yangyang's soft voice goes on and on
I hate you, I hate you, where did it go wrong?
Yangyang goes talking to himself on the phone
Yangyang sends his men pebbles and stones
Yangyang rips his women down to the bones
I own you, I own you, so give us a song
Yangyang goes talking to his world on the phone
Yangyang's born with a phone cord round his neck
Yangyang never fails to stick to his kick
I want you, I want you, you're making me sick
But Yangyang, the chords never long enough
To reach your mommys trick
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang, snap out
Give up, cut out
Tune up and join us
Join the revolution
Join the revolution
No kick is good enough for lifetime substitution
No brick will give you a lifetime consolation
And whether you like it or not
You're a part of the transition
And whether you dig it or not
We outnumber you in population
And leave your private institution
Get down to real communication
Leave your scene of destruction
And join us in revolution
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang, wake up
Snap out, give up
Come out and join us
Join the revolution
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile
Honey, I take sugar, two
While he's ranting and raving
Could you pass that cream?
I was looking to have a cupa tea
Instead I freeze
Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?
Or bushing my tush
Till there's no scream left?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin
Brother, not that way, they'll take you away
Mmm, give me your gun
It's no use to anyone
Instead I freeze
Seeing if I shut up and stay real still
Maybe he wont kill
At least not me
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty
Being looked up with a telescope
While my sisters busy cutting the rope
Daddy, you can't touch me
Mommy, you can't hate me
I'm a star, get it?
Instead I froze
And I let them, I let them
I let them pick my brain
Twist my arm, cut my throat
And wish me dead
But I'm still thinking
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is, think about it.
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Think about it, do something about it.
We make her paint her face and dance,
If she won't be a slave and say that she don't love us.
If she's real, we say she's tryin' to be a man,
While puttin' her down we pretend that she's above us.
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave of the slaves,
Oh yeah, better scream about it, yeah!
We make her bear and raise our children,
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen.
We tell her home is the only place she should be,
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend.
Oh, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave,
Yeah, all right.
Hit it!
We insult her ev'ry day on tv,
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence.
When she's young, we kill her will to be free,
While tellin' her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb.
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave to the slaves,
Yes, she is,
If you believe, we'd better scream about it!
Uh, uh, uh, hey, hey.
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If we sweep the bottom of the rivers
We find bodies that shouldn't be there
If we sweep the courts and offices
We find heads that shouldn't be there
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If we sweep the shelters and asylums
We'll find women that shouldn't be there
If we sweep the dark streets and alleys
We'll find dealers that shouldn't be there
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Why do we miss you so if you're
Just a speck of dust?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for God and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for God and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
(Where do we go from here?)
Are we getting ready for God and terror?
(Where do we go from here?)
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well
Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Ready to, ready to, ready to
Ready to, ready to, ready to
Early in the morning I feel my pillow,
I listen to the soundless phone.
My thighs are sweaty, freezing inside,
Our bed's empty as ever.
What a bastard you are,
Leaving me all night missing you.
Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while,
See if I'm asleep or just closing my eyes.
I quickly get up and throw my pillows,
Throw an ashtray filled with butts.
Where were you all night if I may ask you so?
Though I don't care at all, I'd just like to know.
Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from,
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap.
You know half the world is occupied with you pigs,
I can always get another pig like you.
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me,
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?
But don't you be too happy,
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction,
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
To have some human conversation.
Then I'll glow, I'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax.
And I can walk out into the world, singing with my people.
But now I couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door,
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb.
Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard,
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?
Are you listening?
Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go,
I didn't mean it, I'm just in pain.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
The door is closed, she's left alone,
Making herself a breakfast.
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out,
Watching the trees grow day by day.
What a bastard the world is,
Taking my man away from me,
Taking the world away from me.
Female lib is nice for joan of arc,
But it's a long, long way for terry and jill.
Most of us were taught not to shout our will,
Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill.
And all of us live under the mercy of male society,
Recorded live at new york's fillmore east, 6 june 1971
-"hey! sit down and cool it for a minute so we can hear what we're gonna do. and those of you in the band
Who have no idea what's about to happen, this is in a minor and it's not standard blues changes."
-"oh, my god!"
-"but it's close!"
-"this is a song that I used to sing when I was in the cavern in liverpool. I haven't done it since so..."
Two, three, four!
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well;
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well,
You know I love you, honey child,
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you at night.
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well.
You know I love you, baby, please don't go;
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, uh -
You know I love you, honey child,
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you at night.
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well.
Zappa!
You know I want you, baby, please don't go, well, well;

You know I want you, baby, please don't go, well.
Well, you know I love you, baby, please don't go, well;

Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said?
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry someday
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes

All you need to do
Is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd
But it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
We'll give you all the answers
So swallow this,
That's all you've got to do.
Ev'rything you need is here,
And ev'rything that's not here,
Is not there.
And yet there's something missing
In this God almighty plan,
Could it be you need a woman?
Ah now, all you need to do
Is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd
But it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
We'll give you all the answers
So swallow this,
That's all you've got to do.
But still...
You're so suicidal,
Something is wrong.
This can't be it
Something is wrong.
Uuh -
Something is wrong,
Something is wrong,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can take your hand and stroll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go on the streets and see the people smile.
Give me your hand,
So I could tell you that things will be alright.
The room's still dark,
But it won't be so long,
And I can take you outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the park and roll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the docks and watch the boats go by.
Come on, love, give me your hand,
And things will be alright.
The room's still cold,
But it won't be so long,
That we can go outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I could see your hair shining in the air.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can see the sky reflected in your eyes.
Come on, love, don't be depressed,
Things will be alright.
The room's too low,
But it won't be so long,
That we can be outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
A thousand years of torture and hunger,
Drove the people away from their land.
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the british brigands!
Goddamned!
Goddamned!
If you could keep voices like flowers,
There's be shamrock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams like irish streams,
Then the world would be as high as the mountain of morn.
In the 'pool they told us the story
How the english divided the land.
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of auld eireland.
If we could make chains with the morning dew,
The world would be like galway bay.
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
The world would be one big blarney stone.
Why the hell are the english there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side!
Blame it all on the kids and the i.r.a.
As the bastards commit genocide!
Aye! aye!
Genocide!
Okay!
You should have the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
One more time!
You should have the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead,
Hey, yes, you'd wish you were english instead.
Hello, hello, testing, testing...
At this time of year...oh, let me first introduce myself.
Maybe you have heard me before, I am the great wok.
And as you know, the great wok must be done.
Now, at this time of year when brahama is in brahma...
The day of brahma is set to last one thousand years and it's night is of equal length.
Well, for us human being, this is the end of the year now
And our minds turns towards what is laughably called the future.
No mind can comprehend the infinite and absolute anon munsch mars stunvelly humpff,
As we say in the himalayas.
Now let5 me tell you, my resolution of the year 1979 is to renounce complete everything,
But complete luxury and self indulgance.
Now I suggest this is going to be very, very difficult, very difficult indeed.
I feel it's my duty, not only as a human being but as a person
Or was it not george formy who said there are four billion three hundred and twenty million
Mortal or earth years which is one day of brahma.
So, one way of looking at it is simply not to look at it at all.
And that's exactly what we're going to do now.
So we'll settle down, deeply, I hope, and comfortably in an easy chair
-"there's a break ev'ry time, there"
-"................? .................."
-"no, oh, I thought it was you, sombody was hangin' over, maybe a foot on the pedal or something"
-"................? .................."
-"well, would you do it, jim? eh, I don't know what you do it on.....yeah!"
-".one, one, two, three, four"
Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru this God awful loneliness,
A natural high butterfly.
Oh, i, I need. need, need her.
Just like a willow tree,
A breath of spring, you see.
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me,
She makes me sweat, forget who I am.
Oh i, I need, need, need her.
Well, I was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
'cause I thought I could never be surprised.
But could it be that I bit my own tongue?
Mm-hmm,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.
A bird of paradise,
Sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that i, oh, I love, love, love her.
- "stay on your d! - d! - stay there. hey!"
Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Such sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Well, it was sunday, bloody sunday when the shot the people there.
The cries of thirteen martyrs filled the free derry air.
Is there anyone amongst you dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding when they nailed the coffin lids!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Well, you claim to be majority, well, you know that it's a lie.
You're really a minority on this sweet emerald isle.
When stormont bans our marches, they've got a lot to learn,
Internment is no answer, it's those mothers' turn to burn.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Hey! yeah!
Yeah!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
All you anglo pigs and scotties sent to colonise the north,
You wave your bloody union jacks and you know what it's worth.
How dare you hold to ransom a people proud and free?
Keep ireland to the irish, put the english back to sea!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Hey, hey, hey!
Alright!
Ooh -
Yeah!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Well, it's always bloody sunday in the concentration camps.
Keep falls road free forever from the bloody british hands.
Repatriate to britain all of you who call it home,
Leave ireland to the irish not for london or for rome.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Our life span will meet our life plan of starpeace.

Our life span will meet out life plane of starpeace.

Health is our nature resource,
Growth is our future resource.

Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Pourquoi tu ne m?a pas dit, que tu souffrais?
Je serais venu vite vers toi
Mais, je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Je ne savais pas
Tremblant de peur d?avoir besoin de toi
Tremblant de peur de te desirer
Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Pourquoi tu ne m?a pas dit, que tu n?avais desirer?
J?aurais couru vers toi
Mais, je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

I didn?t know, I didn?t know
I didn?t know, I didn?t know
Why didn?t you tell me you were in pain?
I would have come to you so quickly
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know
I didn?t know
Feeling cold from fear of needing you
Feeling faint from fear of wanting you
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know
Didn?t know, I didn?t know
Why didn?t you tell me you missed me too?
I would have come to you so quickly
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know
She gets down on her knees to throw up life
She gets down on her knees to throw up life
She gets down on her knees to throw up life
That?s the only thing she does it good
Room to room, flushing away her memory
Bay to bay, washing out her history
She gets down on her knees to make up life
She gets down on her knees to make up life
She gets down on her knees to make up life
That?s the only way she has it good
She?s a mainliner who?s never took a main line
She?s a one liner who?s never found the one line
She goes from one bay to another looking for a liner
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight
She?s a line thrower, dip it in a honey bowl
She?s a line burner, rub it in with vinegar and oil
She goes from one sky to another looking for a liner
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight
Blur patches in the clouded sky
Too high to catch her tears and sighs
You say you found jesus christ
He's the only one
You say you found buddah
Sittin' in the sun,
You say you found mohammed
Facin' to the east
You say you found krishna
Dancin' in the street.
Well, there's somethin' missin' in this God almighty stew
And it's your mother,
Your mother, don't forget your mother, lad.
You gotta serve yourself
Nobody gonna do it for you
You gotta serve yourself
Nobody gonna do it for you
Well, you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws
But if you don't go out and serve yourself, lad (ain't no room service here....? ......)
It's still the same old story
A bloody holy war
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study war no more
A fight for God and country
We're gonna set you free
We'll put you back in the stone age
If you won't be like me.
Get it?
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
Yeah, you may believe in devils and you may believe and laws
But christ, you gonna have to serve yourself and that's all there is to it
So get right back here, it's in the bloody fridge!
God, when I was a kid, we didn't have stuff like this, t.v. fuckin' dinners and all that crap!
You fuckin' kids, all fuckin' the same, want a fuckin' car now?
Lucky to have a pair of shoes?
You tell me you've found jesus christ,
That's great and he's the only one
You say you've just found buddah
And he's sittin' on his arse in the sun,
You say you found mohammed
Kneelin' on a bloody carpet, facin' east
You say you found krishna
With his bald head, dancin' in the street
Well, christ now and you're bein' heard.
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you, that's right lad
You better get that straight into your fuckin' head!
You gotta serve yourself, you know that, who else is gotta do that for you
It ain't me, kid, I tell you that.
Well you may believe in jesus
And you may believe in marx
And you may believe in marks and spencers
And you may even believe in bloody woolworths
But there's something missin' in this whole bloody stew
And it's your mother, your poor bloody mother
She worked for you in the back bedroom
Full of piss and shit and fuckin' midwives
God, you can't forget that awful moment, you know
You should have been in the bloody war, lad, and you would know all about it
Well, I'll tell you somethin',
It's still the same old story
A holy bloody war
You know with the pope and all that stuff
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study no more war
I fight for God and country and the queen and all that
We're gonna set you free, yeah,
Bomb ya back into the fuckin' stone age if you won't be like me
You know, now get down on your knees and pray
Well, there's something missin' in this God almighty stew
And it's your God damn mother, you dirty little git
Now get in there and was your ears.

All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.
I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.
All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
We were waiting for peter, the dealer,
He comes in the evening when we're fussing in bed.
He says, "good morning, here's your breakfast",
And give us plates of stone.
Take a pinta blood each from us to give to the poor.
We count the windows in the cities and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.
Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it in the cupboard when you're out.
We were waiting for peter, the wheeler,
He comes in the morning when we're fast asleep.
Gives us a trip that's spending hundred years in a day,
And takes a bone each from us to give to the dogs.
We count the wrinkles on the globe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.
Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it on the shelf when you rap.
We were waiting for peter, the blower,
He comes in when we're fixing snow on rock.
Gives us orange juice laced with sunshine and spring,
And takes a heart each from us to give to the world.
We count the memories that are lost and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.
Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
Throw it in the ocean when you go.
We were waiting for peter, the weaver,
He comes in a flash when we're wide awake.
Says the world can't give us answers
'cause it's stuttering in it's mind.
Takes a head each off us to give us some peace.
We count the lights in the universe and tell each other,
Let's go!
Only people know just how to talk to people,
Only people know just how to change the world,
Only people realise the power of people.
Well, a million heads are better than one,
So come on, git it on!
Well, I know how we tried,
The millions of tears that we cried.
Now we are hipper, we been thru the trip.
And we can't be denied,
With woman and man side by side.
Make no mistake, it's our future we're making,
Bake the cake and eat it too.
We don't want no pig brother scene.
Only people know just how to talk to people,
Only people know just how to change the world,
Only people realise the power of people.
Well, a million heads are better than one,
So come on, git it on!
Well, it's long overdue,
There ain't nothing better to do.
Now we are hipper, we been thru the trip.
We can fly right on thru,
There's nothing on earth we can't do.
Fish or cut bait, it's our future we're making,
All together now, pull the chain.
We don't want no pig brother scene!
Alright! boogie! hey ho! let's go!

You are my weakness,
You are my strength,
Nothing I have in the world
Makes better sense.
'cause I'm a fish and you're the sea.
When we're together
Or when we're apart,

The beat of our hearts.

Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love for no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
Always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed, strange days indeed
Most peculiar honey, boogie
Everybody's running and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu
Hey now, everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
But everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed, strange days indeed
Most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never see the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised into the middle
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed most peculiar, most peculiar
I mean I never seen anything like this, hey hey
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, polling, polling, hey
So long ago, was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes, I know,
It seemed so very real,
It seemed so real to me.
Took a walk down the street,
To the heat whispered trees,
I thought I could hear, hear, hear, hear,
Somebody call out my name, (john)
As it started to rain, (john)
Two spirits dancing so strange.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.
Dream, dream away, magic in the air,
Was magic in the air.
I believe, yes, I believe,
More I cannot say,
What more can I say?
On the river of sound,
Thru the merry go round, round,
I thought I could feel, feel, feel, feel,
Music touching my soul,
Something warm, sudden cold,
The spirit dance was unfolding.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Standing on the corner, just me and yoko ono,
We was waiting for jerry to land.
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand,
Singing, "have a marijuana, if you can."
His name was david peel and we found that he was real,
He sang, "the pope smokes dope ev'ryday."
Up come a policeman, shoved us of the street,
Singing, "power to the people today."
New york city!
New york city!

Hey! hey!
Well, down to max's, kansas city, got down the nitty gritty
With the elephant's memory band.
Laid something down as the news spread around
About the plastic ono elephant's memory band.
Well, we played some funky boogie, and laid some tutti fritti,
Singing, "long tall sally's a man."
Up come a preacher man, tryin' to be a teacher,
Singing, "god's a red herring in drag!"
New york city!

Well, we did the staten island ferry, making movies for the telly,
Played the fillmore and apollo for freedom.
Tried to shake our image, just a-cycling through the village,
But we found that we had left it back in london.
Well, nobody came to bug us, hustle us or shove us,
We decided to make it our home.
If the man wants to shove us out, we gonna jump and shout,
The statue of liberty said, "come!"

Went back to kansas city, laid down the nitty gritty
With the elephant's memory band.
Laid something down as the news spread around
About the plastic ono elephant's memory band.

Forgive me, my little flower princess
For crushing your delicateness.
Forgive me,
Uh, uh, uh, forgive me.
Forgive me, my little flower princess
...selfishness.
Forgive me,
Forgive me.
And I know there is no way to repay you,
Whatever it takes I will try to,
The rest of my life I will thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
My little...
If you forgive me, my little flower princess,
Never too late, unless...
You can for...
Mm, mm...
Time is on our side,
Let's not waste another minute,
'cause I love you, my little friend,
I really love you.
Give me just one more chance and I'll show you,
Take up the dance where we left off,
The rest of our life is the...
My little...
Mildred, mildred, how I love you so,
Remember the joke you told me
While we had our midnight tea.
That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life,
I didn't tell you then 'cause I was drinking the tea.
Alfred, now alfred, you used to call me so.
And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop.
That was the most sensible idea we had in our life,
I didn't tell you then 'cause I was reading the papers.
Mildred, oh, mildred, how I love you so,
Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box.
You kept trying to tell me something, something about your life,
But I didn't hear you then 'cause I was watching the box.
I bought a pot of plant now
And I'm watering it ev'ry day.
I watched the late night talk show
And asked the man in a suit
Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead.
He didn't reply,
No, he didn't reply at all.
And I burnt the box the next morning
And buried in our garden.
Mildred, oh, mildred, how I miss you so,
How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life.
But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more
A one, two, three.
J.o.h.n.n.y.,
God's little gift, cream and pie.
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, milk and honey,
God's little gift for woman.
I want you clever but not too clever,
I want you bad but not too bad.
I want you strong but not too strong,
I want you to try your rightful position.
Oh, too, too much, I mean, it's so good.
Men, men, snails and puppies,
Your muscles are not for fighting in war.
Your lips are not for voicing opinions,
Your eyes are there for us to look into.
I want you to take your rightful position.
Oh, too, too much, I mean, it's so good.
Men, men, grapes and nuts,
Your pants are never tight enough,
Your boots are never long enough.
Your skin is never young enough,
I want you to hold your rightful position.
Pardon me, honeycum, your hair piece's slipping.
Men, men, apples and figs,
I like you to be faithful but not very fussy,
I like you to be behind me but not just beside me.
I like you to shut up but know when to say yes,
I want you to learn your frightful position.
Pardon me, starstud, your cod piece's showing.
Now you know what you have to do-oh,
Now you know what's expected of you-hoo-hoo-hoo.
So come, come, come, come,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and see me sometime,
Come up and see me sometime.
-"ladies and gents, I'd like to introduce you to my lower half, without whom I won't be breathing so heavily.
Honey juice, you can come out of the box now..."
- "we'd like to welcome you here to the dakota country and western club
And in return for miss yoko ono's wonderful gift of a very strange...
I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to me in the throes of my sleep
It's called "life begins at 40"
They say life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true,
You know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
And if life begins at forty,
Well, I hope it ain't the same
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't wanna to be born again.
Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
With a new broom ev'ry day
If that don't work,
I'll jerk around until my next birtday
Yeah, life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
Well, if all that's true
what about it?

"ah, remember this?
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out!
Or was it fourteen?
Or was it twenty-two?
I could have been twelve actually."
Just because you left and said goodbye,
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, I would rather let you go.
Just because I want someone who's kind,
With a heart as good and pure as mine.
But maybe I am asking for too much,
Darling, please don't ever break my heart.
I know you think you're smart,
Just runnin' around breaking lovers hearts.
Just because you left and said goodbye, hey!
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, I would rather let you go.
Uh-uh-uh -
"this is doctor winston o'boggie saying goodnight
From record plant east, new york.
We hope you had a swell time!
Ev'rybody here says "hi".
Goodbye."
Just because you left and said goodbye,
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, I would rather let you go.
Uh-uh-uh -
Goodbye!
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh -
So long!

It ain't fair, John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair?
In the stir for breathing air
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me
They gave him ten for two
What else can Judge Colombo do?
We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
If he was as a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be
Breathing air, like you and me
They gave him ten for two
What else can Judge Colombo do?
We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
They gave him ten for two
And they got Punk Colombon too
We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
Was he jailed for what he done?
Or representing everyone
Free John now, if we can
From the clutches of the man
Let him be, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids, alright
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do?
It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain like you've never seen before.
(it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain)
It's like the heaven packed out, the sky fell out,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
You say life is a bowl of cherries,
You give me a bowl of pits.
The pits will grow into trees one day,
I'm getting my cherries anyway. (maybe so, maybe so)
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause I know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
You say life is a bowl of cherries,
While trying to hide your bowl of pits.
Don't tip my bowl, don't crush my cherries,
One day you'll get your trees and all. (yes, I know, yes I know))
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause I know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,

"ma, you have to wake up!"
"i know..."
Sometimes it's such a drag,
I don't feel like getting up in the morning.
Then something happens, it clicks in my head,
I feel like crying,
But I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
Sometimes, I'm so afraid, (I'm so, I'm so scared)
I don't feel like facing the world.
Then something happens, it clicks in my head,
I feel like crying,
I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
I guess I'm not the only one, (not the only one in misery)
There many of us around.
So when you're feeling down, (down)
Hold your heart and say, it's gonna be alright.
Hold your heart and it'll be alright.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, it's gonna be, it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be alright, yes.
I guess I'm not the only one, (not the only one in history)
There many of us in history.
So when you're feeling down, (down)
Hold your heart and say, it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
We're gonna make it, alright.
(it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, alright)
Hey, hey, hey, alright,
Hey, hey, hey, alright.
My intentions are good, I use my intuition,
It takes me for a ride.
But I never understood other people's superstitions,
It seemed like suicide.
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and ev'ry day.
And when I struggle in the night,
The magic of the music seems to light the way.
Ah, intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me ev'rywhere.
Well, my instincts are fine, I had to learn to use them
In order to survive.
And time after time, confirmed an old suspicion,
It's good to be alive.
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say,
It's then I realise,
It's only a condition of seeing things that way.
Ah, intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me anywhere.
Takes me anywhere, alright.
Ah, intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
Intuition - aah -
Takes me there - aah -
When I was a little boy,
Way back home in liverpool,
My mama told me, I was great.
Then when I was a teenager,
I knew that I had got something going,
All my friends told me I was great.
And now I'm a man,
A woman took me by the hand,
And you know what she told me...i was great.
I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth.
Now I'm only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!
Hey!
I looked in the mirror,
I saw my wife and kids,
And you know what they told me...i was great.
Yes, my name is billy shears,
You know it has been for so many years.
Now I'm only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!
Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah!
(hey, hey, hey)
I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby!
Ho! ho! ho!
I'm gonna be the greatest in this world, (ho!)
In the next world and in any world! (hey!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Woke up this morning, blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette
Blew my worries to the sky
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
If it don't feel right, you don't have to do it
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it
After all is said and done you can't go pleasin' everyone
So screw it
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out, baby
I'm stepping out
Baby's sleeping, the cats have all been blessed
Ain't nothing doing on TV, summer repeats
Put on my space suit, I got to look my best
I'm going out to do the city
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out, babe
I'm stepping out, boogie
I'm stepping out
Hold it down
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get out
I'm stepping out, babe
Just a while
Ain't been out for days
Gotto do it tonight
Gimme a break, gimme a break
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Just for a while, just for the night
Aaaaahhhhhhooooohhhh!
Here in some stranger's room,
Late in the afternoon,
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
Somehow the wires have crossed,
Communication's lost,
Can't even get you on the telephone-ah!
Just got to shout about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
Well, here in the valley of indecision,
I don't know what to do,
I feel you slipping away,
I feel you slipping away-yi-yay-yi-yay-yi-yay-yi-yay.
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
Well, now, you say you're not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff,
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a band-aid on it?
And stop the bleeding now,
Stop the bleeding now.
Well -
Oh-ho!
Hey!
Mm, I'm losing you, oh!
I'm losing you.
Well, well, well, I know I hurt you then,
But hell, that was way back when,
Well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Rock it!
Don't wanna hear about it.
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
Don't wanna lose you now!
Well -
Well, long, long, long, gone,
I just went to the corner
To get some bread and butter,
Dad called, he'd got your letter,
This is his new number.
Chicken's on the burner
But wait for me if you can,
I'll be back soon, honey,
Big kiss from mommy.
(chorus)
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
Please, I have a son!
(chorus)
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Sorry, I was so late,
Did you call your dad?
I hope he was nice to you,
I don't wanna see you sad.
I see you ate your chicken,
And saved me a plate,
I don't know how to tell you, I don't know how to tell,
But I love you, baby, rememember, I'll always be with you
I'll always be with you.
I love you, mommy, I love you with all my heart,
Please, always be with me.
(chorus)
Miss, miss, miss, miss,
Miss, miss, miss, miss.
Mommy! mommy!
Why do I love you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the trillion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
I'm a shy girl, my mother calls me flatchest,
I'm a heavy boy, my father calls me a fathead,
I'm a small guy, my friends call me an armrest,
I'm a big girl, the boys call me a waterbed.
I love all of me, I love all of me,
I love all of me, I just wanna be.
I'm a yellow girl, you choose to call me slanted eyes,
I'm a white boy who fights for his roots and ties,
I'm a red woman who cries over her child's hunger,
I'm a black man who's come to terms with his anger.
I love all of me, I love all of me,
I love all of me, I just wanna be.
I'm a nomad who writes his words in sand,
I'm an aborigine who wishes to save his clan,
I'm all people who cry for their land,
People of the world walking hand in hand.
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of us,
(I love all - love me)
We just wanna be.
Live and let live, live and let live,
Live and let live, live and let live
"phew, the cross we carry is so heavy.
I wanna sit down for a second. do you mind?
Not lie down, just sit down,
Not too long, just so long.
Hey! I got an I dare, can't we just burn the crosses instead of people?
I happen to think that's healthy, and it's not blasphemy.
So brush your wings, shine your rings,
And we can sing.
Are you ready? "
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of us,
(I love all - love me)
We just wanna be.
Once more!
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of us,
(I love all - love me)
We just wanna be.
I have a woman inside my soul,
Her eyes sombre and sad.
She waves her hand to try to reach me,
But I can't hear what she says.
I wish I knew what she says,
I wish I knew what she wants,
I wish I knew what she says to me,
I wish I knew what she means to me.
I see an asphalt road inside my soul,
It's pale even in a warm summer's day.
It stretches into the mist and calls me,
But I don't know what it takes.
I wish I knew what it takes, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it gives, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it says to me, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it means to me. (I wish I knew)
I see a tombstone inside my soul,
It's old and mossy, covered in dead leaves.
It stands with an engraving on it surface,
But I don't know what it reads.
I wish I knew what it reads, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it says, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it says to me, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it means to me. (I wish I knew)
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey)
I feel snow covering inside my soul,
It's hard and shining in shades of grey.
No footsteps ever made their marks,
And I don't know when it melts.
I wish I knew when it melts, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew when it happens, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew if it happens at all, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it means to me. (I wish I knew)
I hear a stream running inside my soul,
It's cold and clear and carries a tune.
But I don't know what it sings and tells,
I don't know where it goes.
I wish I knew what it sings,
I wish I knew where it goes,
I wish I knew what it sings, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew where it goes, (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew what it sings. (I wish I knew)
(I wish I knew)
(I wish I knew) (yeah!)
(I wish I knew)
All day long I felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a phone box round the corner.
I never had a chance to choose my own parents,
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always trying not to eat
And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze.
I never had a chance to choose my own name,
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides.
All day long I felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a station wagon round the block.
I looked at the mirror and told myself,
I'm glad I still don't look like them at least.
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror,
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war.
I went to shake hands with the president in miami,
I went to a rock show to see mick jagger.
And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life,
They had paint on their faces just like mommy's.
Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am I plain gone or is it the world?
Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy.
Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry,
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall.
Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am I plain gone or is it the world?
Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy.
All day long I felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, I went out
Say, you're looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
You're looking for oblivion
With one eye on the hall of fame
I don't wanna face it, oh no
I don't wanna face it, no no, no no
Well, I can ditch it out
But I just can't take it
You're looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You wanna save humanity
But it's people that you just can't stand
I don't wanna face it, oh no
I don't wanna face it, no no, no no
Well, I can sing for my supper
But I just can't make it
Oh, sing
Well, say, you're lookin' for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
But you always look the other way
I don't wanna face it, oh no
I don't wanna face it, no no, no no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it
Yeah, I don't wanna face it
I don't wanna face it, oh no
Face it
I don't wanna face it, no
Face it
Face it babe
I'll wait for you
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama,
I don't wanna die.
Well, I don't wanna be a sailor, mama,
I don't wanna fly.
Well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama,
I don't wanna cry.

Oh no, oh no.

Well, I don't wanna be a rich man, mama,
I don't wanna cry.
Well, I don't wanna be a poor man, mama,
I don't wanna fly.
Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, mama,
I don't wanna lie.

Well, I don't wanna be a thief now, mama,
I don't wanna fly.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
Cryin' all the time;
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said that you was highclassed,
That was just a lie;

That was just a lie.

Well, they said that you was highclassed, babe,
You know it's a lie.
You ain't never caught no rabbit,
You ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
Cryin' all the time;

This is hell in paradise
We're all asleep or paralyzed
Why are we scared to verbalize
Our multicolor dreams?
When will we come to realize
We're all stoned or pacified
While the boogie men organize
Their multilevel schemes
Underqualified for love
Overqualified for life
Sticking our heads in slime
Thinking we're in our prime
Mesmerized by mythology
Hypnotized by ideology
Antagonized by reality
Vandalized by insanity
Desensitized by fraternity
Sanitized by policy
Jeopardized by lunacy
This is hell
Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call
It's Adam's ball, Eve's call
Wake up, shake up
Check out, work out, speak out
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to
This is hell in paradise
None of us wish to recognize
But do we want them to materialize
An endangered species?
Exorcise institution
Exercise intuition
Mobilize transition
I threw my woman power in a pot of stew
And waited for my love to come
But not a single word did I hear from him
So I tried the stew on my dog but he wouldn't even eat it
I put my light heart on a matching silver plate
And waited for my love to come
But not a single footstep was heard near the door
So I ate the plate myself and got a heartburn
Heartburn, heartburn plate
Heartburn, heartburn cake
I toasted my pride and covered it with apple jam
And waited for my love to come
But not a single sign of a stir or a breeze
So I soaked the bread in my milk and I gave it to the birds
Heartburn, heartburn plate
Heartburn, heartburn cake
I watched the clock ticking, ticking away to my past
Eight years old, birthday and raindrops
Not a single line from my dad or my mom
So I laid the cake on my cat but she wouldn't even touch it
Heartburn, heartburn stew
Heartburn, heartburn blues
What do I want with a heartburn? I ask you
Don't try to give me the word
'Cause I ask a clever question
.....last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah....
-oh gee! I'm worn out! can we try another, can you hear what he's saying?
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah,
Up come a butcher with her ju jus alight, ah-hah-hah,
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight vienna.
Felt like a bohunk but I kept up my cool, ah-hah-hah,
Green as a frog, man, I was back into school, ah-hah-hah,
Zipped up my mouth 'cause I was starting to drool, ah-hah-hah,
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight vienna.
Git it up!
Git it up!
Git it up!
Git it up!
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight vienna.
She said she loved me but I knew she was lying, ah-hah-hah,
Felt like an arab who was dancing through zion, ah-hah-hah,
Don't call no doctor when you just feel like crying, ah-hah-hah,
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight vienna.
Uhuh-
Git it up!
Git it up!
Git it up!
Git it up!
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful, it made me uptight, ah-hah-hah,
Up came a doct.... with his needles in sight, ah-hah-hah,
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees.
Doo, doo, doo, doo,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, ooh.
Going down on love,
Going down on love,
Going down, going down, going down.
When the real thing goes wrong,
And you can't get it on,
And your love, she has gone,
And you got to carry on,
And you shoot out the light,
Ain't coming home for the night,
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price.
Somebody please, please, help me,
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred.
I got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees.
Doo, doo, doo, doo,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, ooh.
Going down on love,
Going down on love,
Going down, going down, going down.
Something precious and rare,
Disappears in thin air,
And it seems so unfair,
Nothin' doin' nowhere,
Well, you burn all your boats,
And you sow your wild oats,
Well, you know, you know, you know the price is right.
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to, got to get down, down on my knees,

Everyman has a man who loves him
Rain or shine or life
Or death
If he finds him in this lifetime
He will know when he looks into his eyes
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I run when I feel like holding you
Everywoman has a woman who loves her
If she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she presses his ear to her breast
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I run when I feel like holding you
Everyman has a man who loves him
Everywoman has a woman who loves her
Why do I roam when I know you're the one

Okay
The town's dawning, I'm the only one awake
The streets are whistling, I light my fourth cigarette
I think of my friends, they were once not so dead
What are they thinking now?
One day I'll be just a little stone
Nobody'll know that the stone had such emotions
Anyway I'm always on the run
Someday I'll be remembered for the phone calls I never made
Letters I never mailed
And stories I never finished telling anyone
The town's yawning, I let my dog walk me around
He took a shoot and people smiled
I tried the same and people frowned
Yes, it's a dog, dogtown
One day let's be a pair of trees
Nobody'll know that the trees had such a history
Anyway, wed never be this lonely
Someday I'll be remembered for the fine words I meant to keep
A warm smile I meant to leave
And a true song I meant to finish writing all my life
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown
Peas porridge luck, peas porridge stuck
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old
Some gets paid, some gets grades
Some stays in the pot nine years old
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown
Peas porridge loved, peas porridge spoiled
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old
Some gets laid, some gets slayed
Some stays in the pot nine years old
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown

Catman, you're looking cool today,
We say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my hangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So keep your high-heel boots and your knee-high mind,
Come up to my pad and see my work,
Go for a meal and hear my joke,
Or get in a bag and take a poke,
But don't be too clever or we'll kick your fillies in.
Look out, look out,
The rosies are coming to town.
Look out, catman, look out, catman,
The rosies are flashing along.
Catman, we feel a fool today,
I say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my wangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So leave your well polished tail and your uptight suit,
Show us some funnies that are better than daddies,
Or bake us some cakes that are better than mommies,
Or give us your witties that are trapped in your willies,
But don't be too clever or we'll scratch your goodies out.
Watch out, watch out,
The rosies are riding the town.
Watch out, catman, watch out, catman,
The rosies are slashing about.
Catman, shining your tools today,
They say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my fangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So save your thigh high thoughts and your banana skin,
We'll burn your pansies and give you a bug,
We'll squeeze your lemon and give you a mug,
We'll cut your daisies and give you a slug,
And don't be too clever or we'll blow your sillies off.
Keep out, keep out,
The rosies are passing the town.
Keep out, catman, keep out, catman,
The rosies are bashing around.
Coochy coochy coo, bunny bunny boo, patti patti poo,
Catman! catman! where are you?
Don't be a prune, catman, give us all you've got.
Your blueberry eyes and your evergreen lies.
'cause after all, by this fall you might grow too old,
And you can't ask your mommy to use an old fruity in her pie.
Patter cake, patter cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as slow as you can.
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with 'o'
And put it in the oven for me and my mo.
Batter cake, batter cake, baker's girl,
Fake me a cake as fast as you curl.
Bat it, and whip it, and mark it with blood
And throw it in the oven with trickles and mud.
Wetter cake, wetter cake, baker's boy,
Make me a cake that's sweet as your toy.
Wet it, and slick it, and mark it with 'p'
And leave it in the oven for lizzie and me.
Catman! catman!
Hey, dumballs, get me a pair of rubber dolls, will you!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Man -
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
In cape clear
I saw a little girl crying.
She said she lost her teddy bear.
Oh, then, I can get you another one,
(no) no, (no) no, (no) no,
(it was) it was (my) teddy bear.
As we were talking
A cloud passed and cast a pool of light around her.
I saw that she was not a little girl. (oooh)
(no) no, (no) no, (no) no,
(but you are) but you are.
All my life I felt like I was in the middle of an ocean,
Unable to touch the horizon.
All my life I was floating on my emotion,
Not knowing life had it's own motion.
In cape clear
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Bless you, wherever you are,
Windswept child on a shooting star,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Restless spirits depart,
Still we're deep in each other's hearts.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Some people say it's over,
Now that we spread our wings.
But we know better, darling,
The hollow ring is only last years echo, oh.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Bless you, whoever you are,
Holding her now,
Be warm and kind hearted.
Ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed.
And remember, though love is strange,
Now and forever, our love will remain.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Three, four.
Bless you, wherever you are,
Windswept child on a shooting star,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Restless spirits depart,
Still we're deep in each other's hearts.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Some people say it's over,
Now that we spread our wings.
But we know better, darling,
The hollow ring is only last years echo, oh.
Well, now bless you, whoever you are,
Holding her now,
Be warm and kind hearted.
Ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed.
And remember, all though love is strange,
Now and forever, our love will remain the same.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.

Now that we spread our wings.
But we know better, darling,
The hollow ring is only last years echo, oh.
You're a beautiful boy with all your little toys
Your eyes have seen the world though you're only four years old
And your tears are streaming even when you're smiling
Please never be afraid to cry
You're a beautiful boy with all your little ploys
Your mind has changed the world and you're now forty years old
You got all you can carry and still feel somehow empty
Don't ever be afraid to fly
All you beautiful boys creating multiple plays
You like to fence in your world and settle down when you're old
You can run from pole to pole and never scratch your soul
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives
Attica, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Media blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners did not kill
Rockefeller pulled the trigger
That is what the people feel
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Free the prisoners, jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
They all live in suffocation
Let's not watch them die in sorrow
Now's the time for revolution
Give them all a chance to grow
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Come together join the movement
Take a stand for human rights
Fear and hatred clouds our judgment
Free us all from endless night
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Attica State, Attica State
We all live in Attica State
Attica State, Attica State
Ask the dragon why she?s crawling with eight legs
And she says, "Dunno, I?m just doing it"
Ask a giraffe, why he?s keeping his neck straight
And he says, "Dunno, I?m just doing it"
Ask a bird, why he?s flying so high
And he says, "Dunno, I?m just doing it"
Ask a girl, why she?s dancing in the wind
And this is what she says
"Ask an elephant, why he?s raising his trunk
And he says, dunno, I?m just doing it
Ask a tiger, why he?s running so fast
And he says, dunno, I?m just doing it"
Ask a monkey, why he?s swinging from a tree
And he says, "Dunno, I?m just doing it"

Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions
Of political prisoners in the world
Sister, there's a wind that never dies
Sister, we're breathing together
Sister, our love and hopes forever
Keep on moving, oh, so slowly in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything
But the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything
But equality
Angela, can you hear the earth is turning?
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning
To your sisters and brothers in the world
Sister, you're still a people teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there's a million different races
But we all share the same future in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything
But the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything
But equality
Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions
You made me cry when you said goodbye.
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame.
You broke my heart when you said we're part.
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame.
Boogie, babe!
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
Look out!
Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry.
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame.
Boggie, babe!
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
You made me cry when you said goodbye.
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
Touch, love, you
Touch, love, you
Will I miss the sky?
Will I miss the clouds?
Will I miss the ocean?
Will I miss the bay?
Will I miss the sunrise?
Will I miss the moon?
Will I miss the mountains?
Will I miss the trees?
Will I miss the city lights?
Will I miss the snow?
Will I miss the laughter?
Will I miss the jokes?
Will I miss touch?
Will I miss love?
Will I miss you?
Will I? Will I?
Will I? Will I?
Will I? Will I?
Will I?
Mountains may move, river may run
But you make me be myself, you make me be
How do I tell you, how do I tell
You're the one
Stars may move, time may run
But you make me free myself
But you make me free
How do I tell you, how do I tell
You're the one, you're the one
In the world's eye, we were Laurel and Hardy
In our minds, we were Heathcliff and Cathy
In a moment of wisdom
We were a wizard and a witch
In a moment of freedom
We were Don Quijote and Sancho
In reality, we were just a boy and a girl
Who never looked back
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How can I tell you
How could I tell you
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
It?s you and I, feeling good
Watching the sky turn to sunrise pink
The stars are fading, saying good night
Throwing us a big fat wink
It?s you and I, feeling good
This morning we?re up so early and bright
The clouds are smiling, saying good day
We know it?s gonna be right
What are we doing, you and I?
Are we waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?
Maybe we should take five and go for a ride
See what the world is up to, you and I?
I know you?re still thinking of the empty room behind
One day we?ll air it and fill it with sunshine
Now you know it?s just you and I
And that?s no reason to cry
So hope, skip and run, let?s have some fun
You and I, you and I
You just turned nine, we?re both fine
You and I, you and I
Just turned nine, we?re both fine
You and I, you and I
Just turned nine, we?re both fine
You and I, you and I
Just turned nine, we?re both fine
You and I, you and I
Just turned nine, and we?re both fine
You and I, you and I
Just turned nine, we?re both fine
You and I, you and I
Just turned nine
Yangyang holds on to a giant phone
Yangyang's soft voice goes on and on
I hate you, I hate you, where did it go wrong?
Yangyang goes talking to himself on the phone
Yangyang sends his men pebbles and stones
Yangyang rips his women down to the bones
I own you, I own you, so give us a song
Yangyang goes talking to his world on the phone
Yangyang's born with a phone cord round his neck
Yangyang never fails to stick to his kick
I want you, I want you, you're making me sick
But Yangyang, the chords never long enough
To reach your mommys trick
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang, snap out
Give up, cut out
Tune up and join us
Join the revolution
Join the revolution
No kick is good enough for lifetime substitution
No brick will give you a lifetime consolation
And whether you like it or not
You're a part of the transition
And whether you dig it or not
We outnumber you in population
And leave your private institution
Get down to real communication
Leave your scene of destruction
And join us in revolution
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang, wake up
Snap out, give up
Come out and join us
Join the revolution
1692, six in the morning of June
Sally Kegley, age thirty-four
Closed her diary she'd kept for two scores
Salem, Salem, witches must be hung
Let my daughter burn my book
Let her learn to sew and cook
Teach her not to read but weave
Ask her not to speak but weep
Salem, Salem, witches must be hung
Sally Kegley knows how to cure the ill
Sally Kegley sees through us at will
Salem, Salem, witches must be hung
All the town's people rushing to the hill
Their eyes shining, ready for the kill
Sally's flesh bound to the cross
Her eyes searching for the ones who are close
Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Help! Help! Help! Help!
Help! Help! Help! Help!
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang
"for the other half in the sky."
Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness,
After all, I'm forever in your debt.
And woman, I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success.
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man.
Please remember, my life is in your hand.
And woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart.
After all, it is written in the stars.
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again.
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
-"one!"
Hey, hey!
Don't wanna be a drag,

You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
Oh, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.
All right!
Hey!
Well, it's saturday night and I just gotta rip it up,
Sunday morning, I just gotta give it up.
Come monday, mama, and I just gotta run away,
You know it's such a drag to face another day.
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
You don't know what you got until you lose it,
Oh, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.
Hey, hey!
All right!
You know the more it change,

You don't know, you don't know what you got until you lose it,
Oh, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey!
One, two, three, four!
Alright, alright
Whatever gets you through the night,
It'salright, alright.
Bet your money or your life,
It's alright, alright.
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers,
Oh no, oh no.
Whatever gets you through your life
It's alright, alright.
Do it wrong, do it wrong, do it right,
It's alright, alright.
Don't need a watch to waste your time,
Oh no, oh no.

-"stop! ....sounded pretty active."
People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing.
Well, they give me all kinds of warning to save me from ruin.
When I say that I'm okay,
Well, they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you're not happy now,
You no longer play the game.
People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time, boy,
You're no longer on the ball.
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry go round,
I just had to let it go.
Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
Well, they shake their heads and look at me
As if I lost my mind.
I tell them there's no hurry,
I'm just sitting here doing time.
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry go round,
I just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go,
There may not be much difference
Between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon
If we strip them naked
There may not be much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
If we check their coffins
There may not be much difference
Between White House and Hall of People
If we count their windows
There may not be much difference
Between Raquel Welsh and Jerry Rubin
If we hear their heartbeat
We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together
There may not be much difference
Between Eldridge Cleaver and Queen of England
If we bottle their tears
There may not be much difference
Between Manson and the Pope
If we press their smile
There may not be much difference
Between Rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing
There may not be much difference
Between you and me
If we show our dreams
We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together
What's the difference?
What's the difference?
There's no difference
There's no difference
What's the difference?
Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way?
And play the game of life with your heart
I gave you my knife, you gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said?
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry someday
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
Our love could never take a middle road,
Our love is always on a tightrope.
Sometimes I'm glad just to see you there,
But most times I'm afraid, yes, I'm afraid.
I miss you but I don't wanna tell you,
I need you but I don't want you to know.
Sometimes I'm glad just to know you're here,
But most times I'm afraid, yes, I'm afraid.
Why didn't anybody tell me
That there were more heartaches to learn?
Why didn't anybody tell me
There were more corners to turn?
I dreamt of us, we were on a middle road,
Holding hands and going all the way.
Sometimes I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we are here,
But most times I hold my dream, I hold my dream.
Why didn't anybody tell me
That there were more streetlights to leave?
Why didn't anybody tell me
The turn of the wheel was never to cease?
Why didn't anybody tell me
That there were more streetlights to leave?
Why didn't anybody tell me
The turn of the wheel was never to cease?
Made up my mind to say goodbye,
Went to the park for the last time.
But when I saw your eyes,
I knew for the first time,
That there's no goodbye between us.
There's no goodbye,
There's no goodbye,
There's no goodbye between us.
If one day we slip away,
And that may be in the cards,
We will know deep in our hearts
That there's no goodbye between us.
There's no goodbye,
There's no goodbye,
There's no goodbye between us.
There's no goodbye,
There's no goodbye,
The body is the scar of your mind,
The scar turns into a wind of pain.
It passes mountains after mountains,
It passes the cities and my country.
O'wind, o'wind,
Oh, oh, oh, wind, oh, oh...
Oh, o'wind.
But when it passed the world nine times,
The wind turns into a breeze.
O'wind, oh, oh, oh...
O'wind.
- "at this time.....i just like to sing.."
Here in this lonely room,
Late in the afternoon
Dreaming my life away-hey.
Don't answer the telephone,
I'm not home receiving you.
Here in the afternoon,
Alone in some stranger's room,
What am I doing here at all?
No need to over do it,
I'm bleeding now,
I'm bleeding now.
Stop the bleeding now,
Stop the bleeding now.
Oozing out
Dripping down
Table's silent shout.
Aghhh!
(scat sing and whistle)
-"nine, nine."
-"huh, huh, huh, huh,
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh,
This is the story about the old friend of mine."
(who is it? who is it? who is it? )
There you stand with your l.a. tan,
And your new york walk and your new york talk.
Your mother left you when you were small,
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all.
Hey!

Steel and glass,
Steel and glass,
Steel and glass.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,

Your phone don't ring, no one answers your call,
How does it feel to be off the wall?
Hey! (hey, hey, all right!)
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Mm, mm, mm,
Mm, mm, mm.
Well, your mouthpiece squawks
As you spread your lies,
But you can't pull strings if your hand are tied.
Hey, hey, hey-yi-yey, hey.
Well, your teeth are clean
But your mind is capped,
You leave your smell like an alley cat.
Hey!
Steel and glass,
Steel and glass,
Steel and glass,
Steel and glass.

Now, now, now, now, now,
I stopped flying a long time ago,
Thinking that's just for the birds and bees.
But when I look up (I look up)
And see the sky, (see the sky)
I like the blue and I know why.
You came from zeus, we come from uranus,
Hoping to meet soul to soul.
We see you clearly, (clearly)
With our third eye, (with our third eye)
There's no more fear and I know why.

It's only sane to be insane,
Psychotic builds a castle and neurotic lives in it.
I don't know what to do with my sanity
When the world's at a verge of calamity.
O' sanity, o' sanity,
What am I to do with you?
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But she's always standing behind me like a devil in hell.
O' sanity, o' sanity,
Why don't you let me go?
Let go, let go,
I see your face looking into the space,
All tired and worried.
Why does it have to be like this, you and i,
I wanted us to be happy.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.
I see your face with a trace of life,
Being a wife and a woman.
If I ever hurt you, please, remember,
I wanted you to be happy.
Is there anything I want more,
More than your trust and understanding?
No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.
I wanna quit moving,
I wanna quit running,
I wanna relax and be tender.
I wanna see us together again,
Rocking away in our walnut chairs.
Even with your warmth and closeness,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a curse.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.
Even with our dreams and yearnings,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a thirst.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.
No one can see me like you do.
My mummy's dead,
I can't get it through my head.
Though it's been so many years,
My mummy's dead.
I can't explain,
So much pain.
I could never show it,
Dub-dub train passed through my mind,
Dub, dub-dub train passed through my mind, ooh, ooh...
I thought of killing that man,
Oh, oh, dub-dub train passed through my mind.
Oh, oh.

Age 39, looking over from my hotel window,
Blue dots and red dots skating away in the park.
I used to be there twenty years ago,
Huffing over a mug hot chocolate drink.
Age 39, looking over from my hotel wind,
Wondering if one should jump off or go to sleep.
People tell you up is better than down,
But they never tell you which is up and which is down.
Age 39, looking over from my hotel wind,
95 pound bundle but it's trouble when there's nowhere to leave.
People say stardust and golddust are it,
But they never tell you it chokes you just as sawdust do.
Age 39, feeling pretty suicidal,
The weight gets heavier when you've bled thirty years.
Show me your blood, john, and I'll show you mine,
They say it's running even when you're asleep.
No trace of resentment, no trace of regrets,
One blood's thinner but both look red and fresh.
If I ever die, please go to my daughter
And tell her that she used to haunt me in my dreams.
(that's saying a lot for a neurotic like me.)
Age 39, looking over from my hotel window,
Trying to tackle away with heart of clay.
The weight gets lighter when there's nowhere to turn,
God's little dandruff floating in the air.
Age 39, looking over the world,
Age 39, floating over the world,
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town,
Listen the snow is falling ev'rywhere.
Between empire state building
And between trafalgar square.
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town.
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town,
Listen the snow is falling ev'rywhere.
Between your bed and mine,
Between your head and my mind.
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town.
Between tokyo and paris,
Between london and dallas,
Between your love and mine.
Listen, the snow is falling ev'rywhere.
Snowfling, snowfall, snowfall,
Listen, listen,
Listen, baby,
Let your left foot lead you,
Let your right head speak to you,
Let your left hand meet you,
Let your right woman kick you.
Left hand's the right hand,
Left turn's the right turn.
Keep turning left and you'll get there.
Let your left foot lead you,
Let your right mouth speak for you,
Let your left eye meet you,
Let your right man love you.
Left hand's the right hand,
Left turn's the right turn.
Keep turning left and you'll get there.
Let's get there together,
Let's get there together,
Let's get there, sisters,
And let's get there, bothers,
Let's get there, let's get there,
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love
Just one kiss, kiss will do
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love
Just one kiss, kiss will do
Why death? Why life?
Warm hearts, cold darts
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love
I'm bleeding inside
It's a long, long story to tell
And I can only show you my hell
Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love
Just one touch, touch will do
Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love
Just one touch, touch will do
Why me? Why you?
Broken mirror, white terror
Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love
I'm shaking inside
It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell
Ringing in my soul
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love
You gotta eat,
You gotta drink,
You gotta feel something,
You gotta worry.
But it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta live,
You gotta love,
You gotta be somebody,
You gotta shove.
But you know it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
But when it's good,
It's really good.
And when I hold you in my arms, baby,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.
But you know, it's hard,
It's hard to get hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.
But you know, it's hard,
It's so hard to get hard,
Mm - ad lib
It's been very hard,
Oh, it's been very hard,
Mm, ah, been very hard.
Ah - ad lib

Ah - ad lib
It's been so hard.

Incantation. (oo-oo-oo)
If ya ever meet the sweet rolling thunder
(flying on the dead of the night)
Just call me if ya can't get his number
(watching how that rattle snake bites)
All he's got is real understanding,
Smokin' through his medicine head.
Watch him get down to the unreal voodoo
And shove it to the living dead.
Incantation, (oo-oo-oo)
(in-) incantation. (oo-oo-oo)
What's happenin,' found his face in a bad dream, momma?

Rolling thunder said, "ya got this one started"
What happened there, did the kid get high, high?
All the dog soldiers shootin' uncoke-a-cola
Get 'em dancin' 'til they lose their minds.
Incantation, (oo-oo-oo) ah, yeah!

Save your sweet talk
For when you score
Keep your Monday kisses
For your glass lady
I want the truth and nothing more
I?m moving on, moving on
You?re getting phony
You didn?t have to tell a white lie
You know you scored me for life
Don?t stick your fingers in my pie
You know, I?ll see through your jive
I want the truth and nothing more
I?m moving on, moving on
We?re getting phony
When you were angry
You had love in your eyes
When you were sad
You had dream in your voice
Now you?re giving me your window smile
I?m moving on, moving on
It?s getting phony
Sisters, don't blame my man too much,
I know he's doing his best.
I know his fear and loneliness,
He can do no more, no less.
He was brought up by us women,
And the world that told him to be a man.
He reached and stretched to be the one
While millions more tried to be that one.
I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.
Sisters, don't blame your man to much,
You know he's doing his best.
You know his fear and loneliness,
He can do no more, no less.
He was told by his mothers to never trust girls,
He was told by his fathers to never shed tears.
He sees girls chasing after superstars,
While their men are sitting behind bars.
I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow.
Sisters, don't blame our men to much,
We know they're doing their best.
We know their fear and loneliness,
They can do no more, no less.
They were told by us to get ahead,
Be gentle and tender, yet hard and strong.
Nothing short of a living god,
Nothing short of james bond.
If we all knew that no one's to be ashamed,
But that the society is to be blamed.
We could then come together again
And direct our energies towards changing the world.
We're all blind and crippled mates,
Frustrated would-be presidents of united states.
We don't know how to cope with ourselves,
Or to love our mates for being themselves.
I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow.
I want my love to sleep tonight
I love you, earth, you are beautiful
I love the way you are
I know I never said it to you
But I wanna say it now
I love you, I love you
I love you, earth
I love you, I love you
I love you now
I love you, earth, you are beautiful
I love the way you shine
I love your valleys, I love your mornings
In fact I love you everyday
I know I never said it to you
Why I'd never know
Over blue mountains, over green fields
I wanna scream about it now
I love you, I love you
I love you, earth
I love you, I love you
I love you now
You are our meeting point of infinity
You are our turning point in eternity
I love you, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
I love you, earth
I love you, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
I love you now
I love you, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
I love you, earth
I love you, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
I don't know why, was getting so good with us,
I don't know why, was getting so good with us,
I don't know why, was getting so good,
Was getting so good with us.
I don't know why, was so good with us.
The room's so empty, the room's empty without you,
My body's so empty, the world's so empty without you.
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why, 'twas so good with us.
You left me, you left me, you left me without words,
You left me, you left me, you left me without words,
You left me, you left me, you left me without words.
You bastards!
It's been very hard but it's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for a while
The leaves are shining in the sun and I'm smiling inside
You and I watching each other on a street corner
Cars and buses and planes and people go by
But we don't care, we wanna know
Wanna know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time
(Yeah)
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Over for a while
It's been very rough
But it's getting easier now
Hard times are over
Over for a while
The streams are twinkling in the sun
And I'm smiling inside
You and I walking together
'Round the street corner
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Over for a while
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Over for a while
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Over for a while
Hard times are over
God is a concept
By which we measure our pain.
I'll say it again:
God is a concept
By which we measure our pain,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't believe in magic,

The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday.
I was the dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn.
I was the walrus
But now I'm john.
And so, dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
As recorded by david bowie
Fame, makes a man take things over.
Fame, let's him lose, hard to swallow.
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow.
Fame.
Fame,
It's not your brain, it's just a flame,
That burns your change to keep you insane.
Fame.
Fame, what you like is in the limo.
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.
Fame, what you need you have to borrow.
Fame.
Fame,
Now it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time it drives you to crime.
Fame.
Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, baby?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really be, really, babe?
Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame.
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool?
Fame.
Fame,
Bully for you,
Chilly for me,
Got to get a raincheck on pain.
Fame.
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, - fame.
What's your name?
(fame, fame)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The food is cold
Your eyes are cold
The window?s cold
The bed?s cold
Give me something that?s not
Cold, come on, come on, come on
Give me something that?s not
Cold, come on, come on, come on
Give me something that?s not
Cold, come on, come on, come on
Give me, ah, give me, ah, give me, ah
The chair?s hard
Your voice is hard
The money?s hard
The livings hard
Give me something that?s not
Hard, come on, come on, come on
Give me something that?s not
Hard, come on, come on, come on
Give me something that?s not
Hard, come on, come on, come on
Give me, ah, give me, ah, give me, ah
I?ll give you my heartbeat
And a bit of tear and flesh
It?s not very much but while it?s there
Everyman has a man who loves him
Rain or shine or life
Or death
If he finds him in this lifetime
He will know when he looks into his eyes
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I run when I feel like holding you
Everywoman has a woman who loves her
If she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she presses his ear to her breast
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
Why do I run when I feel like holding you
Everyman has a man who loves him
Everywoman has a woman who loves her
Why do I roam when I know you're the one
I wonder why
I could never hate you
Even when you look away,
I always love you in my soul.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.
I tell you why
I could never hate you
Even when you're far away,
I know you love me in your soul.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.
Part of me will always be with you,
Part of you is growing in me.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.
We don't know how,
How to tell each other,
There's nothing we can do.
I saw your soul and you saw mine.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
Better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared
Don't be shy
Don't be shy
Don't be shy to tell
You may lose the chance to tell
Don't be shy
When your hearts are lit
Drop your survival kit
Then you never have to
Run or split
Sun in the east
Moon in the west
This boat's moving slow
There's no land in sight at all
Away we go
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
It's better to love than never love at all
You can shine your shoes and wear a suit,
You can comb your hair and look quite cute,
You can hide your face behind a smile.
One thing you can't hide;
Is when you're crippled inside.
You can wear a mask and paint your face,
You can call yourself the human race,
You can wear a collar and a tie.
One thing you can't hide;
Is when you're crippled inside.
Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe,
Nine lives to itself.
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun,
Mama, take a look outside.
You can go to church and sing a hymn,
You can judge me by the colour of my skin,
You can live a lie until you die.
One thing you can't hide;
Is when you're crippled inside.
Take it, brother!
Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe,
Nine lives to itself.
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun,
Mama, take a look outside.
You can go to church and sing a hymn,
You can judge me by the colour of my skin,
You can live a lie until you die.
One thing you can't hide;
Is when you're crippled inside.
One thing you can't hide;
Is when you're crippled inside.
One thing you can't hide;
The temperature's rising
The fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky
My feet are so heavy
And so is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
My body is aching
Goose pimple bone
I can't see nobody
Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open
I can't go to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again
I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Out of this hell
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep despair
When I was younger
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams, my friend
When I was younger
Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older
The future is brighter and now is the hour
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or year
Good to be older
Do not believe in [Incomprehensible]
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Recorded live at the varsity stadium, toronto, 13 september 1969
-"hello! a-good evening!
Okay?
Okay, we're just gonna do numbers that we know, you know, 'cause we've never played together before.
Okay."
Well, it's a one for the money, two for the show,
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face,
Slander my name all over the place;
Do anything that you wanna do,
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes.
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.
Well, you can burn my house, steal my car,
Drink my liquor from the old fruit jar.
Do anything that you wanna do,
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes.
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.
Well, hey!
Well, it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off my blue suede shoes.
Yeah.
The night we met I knew I needed you so,
And if I had the chance I never let you go.
So won't you say you love me,
I'll make you so proud of me,
We'll make them turn their heads ev'ry place we go.
So won't you, please, (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby, (my one and only, baby)
Say you'll be my darling, (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now, (my one and only, baby)
Oh, oh, oh.
Come on, baby,
Do it nice!
Slow!
That's right!
So knocking, it's...
It's damned!
Hey!
It's too much!
I don't know.
Yeah!
Oh, now, baby, baby, baby.
And since the day I saw you,
You know I was waiting for you,
And you know I'm gonna adore you till eternity, yeh!
Oh, baby, (be my, be my baby)
Bay, baby, baby, baby, babe, (my one and only, baby)
Come on, baby, be mine, (be my, be my baby)
Oh, please, please, my only one. (my one and only, baby)
Won't you please, (be my, be my baby)
Oh yeah, (my one and only, baby)
Be my baby, (be my, be my baby)
One, two, three, four, five, six.
It's sad that air is the only thing we share,
No matter how close we are there's always air between us.
It's also nice that air's something we all share,
No matter how far apart we are an air links us.
It's sad that past is something we can never share,
No matter how close we are the past is between us.
But it's also nice that without the past
We'd have never known each other,
No matter how far apart we are it brought us together.
Yes, it's very nice to have someone to share,
There's something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our past but we have our future to share.
It's sad that life is such a heavy thing to bear,
No matter how close we are it's easy to despair.
It's also nice that you and I know it's what we all share,
No matter how far apart we are we can learn to care.
There's something very nice to have something to share,
There's something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our bodies but we have our minds to share.
Yes, there's something very nice to have something to care,
There's something very nice to have someone to share.
Ain't she sweet?
Oh no, ain't she ...no, hang on, injection
Oh me oh mum ain't that perfection?
I repeat now!
Ain't she nice?
Well, look her over once or twice.
Well, I ask you very ...........? ...........,
Ain't she nice.

- "ha ha ha"
By john lennon and yoko ono
Okay, yoko
Peace -
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace.
(peace, peace, peace, peace...)
Peace -
Let's hope for peace, (peace, peace, peace, peace!)
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john, let's hope for peace
For our children,
For our country,
For our world,
For our future,
Oh, john, let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Peace -
Peace, peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john -
Peace.
Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the
Youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for
Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a
Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's
Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor
Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about
Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna
Just to give people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them.
And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for
Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we
Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment
With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning
For thousands of years. they know how to play the game violence and it's easier for
Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle
Humour, peaceful humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
John: haven't a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in
Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of
Peace through violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that,
That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and
Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in case of a war?
John: how do you mean?
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?
John: I'd die of fright.
Yoko: I don't think that should happen. you talk as if something's going to happen
Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same
World and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any
Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in
The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only
Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the world
Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so
That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during
The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible
Than the others?
John: no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was really
Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were
Really aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you
Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as much as possible and if the
Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time
Before they made any decision about what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you
Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier,
But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money,
Their territory.
Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
John: no. I don't think so because...
Questioner: hitler could have been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation will have a prototype. I think I was out talking to one of the
Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of
Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack
Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's
True.
Qustioner: but they were silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european
Country that hasn't had it's hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what
They did to india and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to
Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because those are the people
Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the next world, you
Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or anything like
That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're just
Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work
For the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we think is
The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is just as bad as
Before the second world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything,
All the violence that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we
Don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going
To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we find in the
Newspaper, find that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but don't you see, I mean, it's a fact that by through your
Behaviour, I think it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get
Suspicious. they don't think that this can be correct, people sitting under a
Tablecloth protesting against wars. they don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay,
Go ahead, and they should do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and we're
Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the next man, and I'm sure yoko is just as
Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer myself when I'm non-
Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living
And if we have to have violence, let's channel it, you know.
I don't know how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or
Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but I don't want to be
Involved in their violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and
Take off all your clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you
See. just courage and if everybody gets courage and of course they would,
Because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do,
But look at john and yoko they're doing worse, so I can do it, you know.
That's all we're trying to do, you see.
Questioner: so you're putting courage, also, into the world?
John: we hope so.
Yoko: I hope so.
John: okay.
Stay in bed!
John: look there's a fly flitting around. just makes you laugh.
Yoko: what time is it?

John: I thought you were giving
Visitor: bye, bye. bye, bye. no, no.
John: I sort of was under that impression. she gave us the dog and then went away. very nice.
Yoko: it's rather sort of really swinging though. don't you think so?
John: the thought of the long haired beatle in the 19th century sanctuary. please
Stop this nonsense. go home. we don't like people like you. go to a doctor to be
Normal, you get this? go to a doctor to be normal. we're seeing a psychiatrist today,
So maybe he'll fix us up then. bloody marvellous. we don't get through on some level,

Beautiful, beautiful. hey, those kids are as hard as the real press.
Yoko: yes, amazing.
John: amazing. they're just as tough as the real press. very sexy. it's a boy, it's a boy.

John: ah, because...
Questioner: well, first of all, let me say congratulations on your marriage and that
In dutch is gefiliciteerd met je getrouw.
John: oh, dank u wel, oh, chocolat!
Questioner: how about explaining this mission you are on at this moment!
John: well, you start...
Yoko: well, because we thought of this idea about staying in bed for 7 days for
Protest against violence in the world.
Questioner: did you think of it's geographical situation as being the centre of europe?
John: no, I didn't realise, is it? oh, fantastic! it was magic then, you see, cause the way...
Questioner: well, they call it the centre of europe. it's an advertising campaign for an
Airline.
John: okay, well give us a free ticket and we'll be all right.
Various people: stand up! bend over towards us.
Stand up on your knees, maybe. turn up, turn up on your knees.
As soon as we can ......(unhearable) ....but we need you here
John: so, anyway a policeman came in and an elephant jumped on me head, so I said
What's going on and he said cabbages and the next moment I was on film, yeah.
Love, peace and bed!not forgetting jam of course.
Okay, guess now it's over?
Qustioner: are you cold?
John: no, no, no!
Questioner: yeah, music, you know, if you go back to the days of a, of a, let's see, where do we start now, we start with "do you love me? "

For bed-in,
For peace of the world,
Stay in bed,
Grow your hair.

Yoko: grow your hair.
John: bed peace.
Yoko: hair peace.
John: hair peace, bed peace.

When I?m shaking in fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me
When I?m trembling with tears?
All my life the doors kept closing on me

Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die;
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.
In the mornin', wanna die;
In the evenin', wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.
My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the earth;
But I am of the universe,
And you know what it's worth.
I'm lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.
The eagle picks my eye,
The worm he licks my bone;
I feel so suicidal,
Just like dylan's mister jones.
Lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.
Black cloud crossed my mind,
Blue mist round my soul,
Feel so suicidal,
Even hate my rock and roll.
I'm lonely, wanna die, yeah!
If I ain't dead already,
It’s you and i, feeling good,
Watching the sky turn to sunrise pink.
The stars are fading, saying good night,
Throwing us a big fat wink.
It’s you and i, feeling good,
This morning we’re up so early and bright.
The clouds are smiling, saying good night,
We know it’s gonna be right.
What are we doing, you and i?
Are we waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?
Maybe we should take five and go for a ride,
See what the world is up to, you and i?
I know you’re still thinking of that empty room behind,
One day we’ll air it and fill it with sunshine.
Now you know it’s just you and i
And that’s no reason to cry.
So hope, skip and run, let’s have some fun,
You and i, (you and I) you and i. (you and I)
You just turned nine, and we’re both fine,
You and, you and i.
(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)
She tells her boat to stand by,
She tells her car to stand by,
She tells her plane to stand by,
But nobody knows she's a stand by for life.
Stand by for life, stand by for life,
Somebody up there is giving her a run around.
She tells her men to stand by,
She tells her friends to stand by,
She tells her world to stand by,
But nobody knows she's a stand by for life.
Stand by for life, stand by for life,
Somebody up there is giving her a run around.
Yellow girl, yellow girl, when will you learn?
Your life is sharp as knife,
But remember it cuts both ways.
Stand by for death, stand by for death,
Somebody down there is giving her a run around.
Yellow girl, yellow girl, when will you learn?
Your life is sharp as knife,
But remember it cuts both ways.

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all.
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool.
Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career.
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free.
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's a room at the top, they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill.
If you want to be like the folks on the hill.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me,

Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine,
Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile?
Honey, I take sugar, two.
While he's ranting an' raving,
Could you pass that cream?
I was looking to have a cupa tea.
Instead I freeze.
Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?
Or bushing my tush till there's no scream left?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Mm -
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero,
Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin?
Brother, not that way, they'll take you away.
Mm, give me your gun,
It's no use to anyone.
Instead I freeze.
Seeing if I shut up and stay real still,
Maybe he won't kill, at least not me.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Mm -
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star,
Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty?
Being looked up with a telescope
While my sister's busy cutting the rope.
Daddy, you can't touch me,
Mommy, you can't hate me,
I'm a star, get it?
Instead I froze.
And I let them, I let them,
I let them pick my brain,
Twist my arm,
Cut my throat
And wish me dead.
But I'm still thinking,
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
I know you now for a thousand years,
Your body still feels nice and warm to me.
The sun is old, the winter's cold,
The lake is shining like a drop of buddha's tears.
The mountains lie in a distance
Like the future we'd never reach
And I kept my warmth with your body close.
The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking on the hillside like a leftover timebomb.
I know you now for what you are,
And my mind still goes through ups and downs with yours.
The moon is clear, the room is bare,
The bed is shining like an old scripture
That's never been opened before
And I keep my warmth with your mind close.
The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking in a farmhouse like a forgotten timebomb.
One day we discovered that the clock was not ticking anymore,
And our bodies kept spreading rapidly like a very, very fine tissue
Once a friend told me of his experience
That he had loved somebody and in pain
He had slit his arm and sent the blood to her
And that he was glad that it was over
He had talked and made love like an expert
But I had never seen his soul
And his eyes had a sort of dead smile
As if he wanted me to believe that he was still alive
He was a winter friend to me
We walked in the snow
To Chinatown for noodles
That was many years ago in another life
Why do I remember it now?
When I'd heard his story, I'd heard it like a car accident
That I would never be in myself
He was a winter friend to me
We walked in the snow
To Chinatown to noodle
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Dee, la, dee, la, da, dee, la, la, la
Now that I see my car slipping down the cliff
And I'm desperately looking for the brake
Don't let it happen to me
Please don't let it happen to me
I'm not ready to die or live a living death
I'm not ready to die or live a living death
Touch, love, you
Touch, love, you
Will I miss the sky?
Will I miss the clouds?
Will I miss the ocean?
Will I miss the bay?
Will I miss the sunrise?
Will I miss the moon?
Will I miss the mountains?
Will I miss the trees?
Will I miss the city lights?
Will I miss the snow?
Will I miss the laughter?
Will I miss the jokes?
Will I miss touch?
Will I miss love?
Will I miss you?
Will I? Will I?
Will I? Will I?
Will I? Will I?
Will I?

I was looking for something in the closet,
I was sure it would be there.
But to my surprise it wasn't there
And I had to look all over the world.
I was telling anybody I need to find it now,
It's very important to find it now.
I wasn't surprised that they didn't care,
And I had to look for it myself.
Where is it? where is it?
Oh, where could it be?
Why don't you help me look for it?
Why don't you help me look for it?
I kept on looking for the thing they say was there,
But I couldn't find it anywhere.
And to my dismay, I didn't even remember
What I was supposed to look for anyway.
What is it? what is it?
Oh, what could it be?
Why don't you tell me what it is?
Why don't you tell me what it is?
I was looking for something I knew was in my head,
I wasn't sure if it were dead.
But to my dismay, it was still there,
I had to close the door real fast.
What did I do? what did I do?
Oh, what did I do?
Why didn't I look in the closet instead?
Why didn't I look in the closet instead?
I was looking for my head in the closet,
I was sure it would be there.
But to my surprise it wasn't there
And I had to look all over the world.
Where is it? where is it?
Oh, where could it be?
Why don't you help me look for it?
He was the king of the zoo, (king of the zoo)
Yes, he was, oh, he was,
Ooooh. (ooooh)
Facing his crowd, his head high and proud,
While they threw breadcrumbs, laughing through their gums.
(doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
He was the king of the zoo, (king of the zoo)
Yes, he was, oh, he was,
Ooooh. (ooooh)
When the gates was closed at night
And no one was in sight,
He would pace around what was called his ground.
Dreaming of the land in his minds eye,
Roaring, roaring to the dark sky.
He was a show (show) stopper,
A mind (mind) topper,
He was a dreamer, (he was a dreamer) he was a king.
Yes, he was, (yes, he was) oh, he was, (oh, he was)
Ooooh, that he was.
Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper,

We'll tell you no more masturbation for men.
Ev'ry day you're killing living sperms in billions,
So how do you feel about that, brother?
What a waste, what a waste,

We'll tell you equal is not equal enough.
For centuries we've been taking your double ass deal,

To have to cope with a crazy like you.

I took my loved one out to dinner,
So we could get a bite to eat.
And though we both had been much thinner,
She looked so beautiful I could eat her.
Well, well, well, oh well,
Well, well, well, oh well.
I took my loved one to a big field,
So we could watch the english sky.
We both were nervous, feeling guilty,
And neither one of us knew just why.

And how the hell we could get things done.

I?m waiting for a boat to help me out of here
Waiting for a boat to help me out
The boat that reached my shore was a toy boat
Waiting for a boat to help me out
I?m dreaming of a lake I?ve never seen before
Dreaming of a lake I?ve never seen
The lake I?ve seen last was a picture lake
Dreaming of a lake I?ve never seen
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
I?m thinking of a castle on atop a hill
Thinking of a castle on atop a hill
The castle I?ve been to was full of flies
Thinking of a castle on atop a hill
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
You who are
You who are
Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here
I?m waiting for a boat to help me out of here
Waiting for a boat to help me out
The boat that reached my shore was a toy boat
Waiting for a boat to help me out
You who are

Help me out, help me out
Help me out of here

Help me out, help me out
Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way?
And play the game of life with your heart
I gave you my knife, you gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said?
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry someday
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm,
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
Wake up, wake up, the sun is saying,
I know you're still in dream land,
But just come back.
I know you're afraid of me and the days of the world,
But open your eyes and you'll see that I'm shining for you.
Wake up, wake up, the sky is up telling,
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
I know you're afraid of me and the best of the world,
Open your eyes and you'll see that I'm smiling for you.
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm,
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm...
Wake up, wake up, the bird is up singing,
I know the good times that are coming your way.
I know you're afraid of me and the love of the world,
I turned a corner
It didn't seem that was wrong
I was just having a laugh
But suddenly my friends are gone
And I didn't know that life would be so long
I turned the clock
And went around the block
Thought I was just having a laugh
But suddenly my world was gone
And I found myself standing alone
I thought I was fighting the ebb of life
I thought I was cutting the web and the strife
But I look at the mirror where there used to be a smile
Listen to your heart
Respect your intuition
Make your manifestation
There?s no limitation
Have courage
Have rage, we?re all together
Follow your heart
Use your intuition
Make your manifestation
There?s no confusion
Have courage
(oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo)
Only you can make this world seem right,
Only you can make the darkness bright.
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do,
And fill my heart with love for only you.
Only you can make this change in me,
For it's true, you are my destiny.
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do.
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you- only you.
Only you.
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do,
And fill my heart with love for only you.
Oh-only you can make this change in me,
For it's true, you are my destiny.
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do, do.
You're my dream come true,
My one, my one, my one and only you - only you.
Only you,
Only you,
Only you,
Only you,

They're really rockin' in boston,
In pittsburgh, p.a.
Deep in the heart of texas,
On down to frisco bay.
All over st. louis
And down in new orleans,
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet, little sixteen.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, little sixteen,
She's got the grown up blues.
Tight dresses and lipstick,
She's sportin' high heel boots-ah.
Oh, but tomorrow morning,
You gotta have to change her trend,
Become sweet sixteen-ah,
And back in class again.
Oh, mummy, mummy,
Please, please may I go?
You know it's such a sight to see them
Some other steal the show.
Oh, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,
You know I beg of you,
Scream it to mama,
It's all right with you.
Because they're rockin' in new york,
In philadelphia, p.a.
Deep in the heart of texas,
Down at the "rainbow", l.a.
All over st. louis
And down in new orleans,
All them mothers wanted to
Be sweet, little sixteen.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sixteen,
She's so delicate,
She's just gotta have it,
About half, half a mountain,
That's framed back.
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,
It was getting dark in a snow-covered park
I thought I saw you smiling
You left town to marry a Texas millionaire
I wonder how you are doing
You were a New York woman
New York woman
New York woman
I love you
I heard him on the air discussing world affairs
And something about his global vision
That's when I wondered if you made the right decision
I want to know what you're thinking
You were a New York woman
New York woman
New York woman
I miss you
You were a New York woman
New York woman
New York woman
I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, my friend
I miss you
Oh, I miss you
Oh, I miss you
You say you're well and satisfied
But your body tells me something else
What is it, baby? Tell me, tell me
Speak up, give it to me straight
Or, well, never know what you think
Or what you want
She says she's truly gratified
But her voice tells me something else
What is it, baby? Tell me, tell me
Speak up, give it to me straight
Or, well, never know how you feel
Or what you want
Unless we teach each other
What we really feel
How are we gonna communicate
And get ourselves together?
He says he's never petrified
But his eyes tells me something else
What is it, baby? Tell me, tell me
Speak up, give it to me straight
Or, well, never know what you need
Or what you want
Unless we teach each other
What we really feel
How are we gonna communicate
And get ourselves together?
I'm watching your body talk
I'm listening to your double talk
Straight talk's the only way
Straight talk's the shortest way for you and I
I'm watching your body talk

I walked through the park and saw a young oak tree growing,
Growing beside an old bark hit by lightning.
I asked the young tree how he wished to be,
He shook his leaves and sung to me:
I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and I like it out here.
When I hear thunder, I think of my father,
He taughtme about life, that was when I was five.
It's true that some days are more than grey,
But we learn to get by day by day.
I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
-'nine, nine.'
-'huh, huh, huh, huh,
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh,
This is the story about the old friend of mine.'
(who is it? who is it? who is it? )
There you stand with your l.a. tan,

Your mother left you when you were small,
But you’re gonna wish you wasn’t born at all.

Mm, mm, mm, mm,

Your phone don’t ring, no one answers your call,
How does it feel to be off the wall?
Hey! (hey, hey, all right!)
Mm, mm, mm, mm,

Well, your mouthpiece squawks
As you spread your lies,
But you can’t pull strings if your hand are tied.
Hey, hey, hey-yi-yey, hey.
Well, your teeth are clean
But your mind is capped,
You leave your smell like an alley cat.
Hey!

Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown, we have grown.
Although our love is still special,
Let's take a chance and fly away
Somewhere alone.
It's been so long since we took the time,
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly.
But when I see you, darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over, (over)
Starting over. (over)
Ev'ry day we used to make it, love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy?
It's time to spread our wings and fly,
Don't let another day go by, my love,
It'll be just like starting over, (over)
Starting over. (over and over and oh)
Why don't we take off alone?
Take a trip somewhere far, far away.
We'll be together all alone again,
Like we used to in the early days.
Well, well, darling.
It's been so long since we took the time,
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly.
But when I see you, darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over, (over)
Starting over. (over)
Look out!
Our life (doo doo)
Together, (doo doo)
It's so precious (doo doo)
Together, (doo doo)
We have grown, (doo doo doo wah)
Mm, we have grown (doo doo doo wah)
Although our love's (doo doo)
Still special, (doo doo doo wah)
Let's take a chance and fly away
Somewhere.

In the middle of the night
I?m lying in your bed
Thinking of you and me
In the universe
Stars are moving like the night we met
The earth is turning like the time we said
In my mind, I?m searching for you
Billion miles away
Why do I miss you so if you?re just a spec of dust
Floating endlessly amongst the billion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart
Meeting each other in memories
Why do I love you so if you?re just a spec of dust
Floating endlessly amongst the trillion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart

He was a mindweaver, always on the phone
Telling me all sorts of hurt of his own
Although his voice was sweet to me
I wondered if we could ever be
He was a mindbeater, always on the phone
Telling me all sorts of what I did wrong
Although his voice was sweet to me
I wondered if we could ever be
He was a mindbender, always on the phone
Telling me all sorts of dream he has sewn
Although his voice was sweet to me
On a windy day, let's go on flying.
There may be no trees to rest on,
There may be no clouds to ride.
But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us,
That's enough for me,
That's enough for me.
On a windy day, we went flying.
There was no sea to rest on,
There were no hills to glide.
We saw an empty bottle rolling down the street
And on a cupboard stand at the corner of the street,
Sleepless night
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Legs
What am I going to do with my legs
They're so hot, they won't stay on the cot
And they're screaming!
Sleepless night
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Head
What am I going to do with my head
It's so light, it just gives me the fright
It's full of champagne and dreams
Sleepless night
All, all I'm asking for is
Three minute love
This brush must sell like crazy
I mean there's a lot of lonely people out there
I wanna go to the ball
I wanna give it all, I'll take it all
Sleepless night
All I'm asking for is
O sisters, O sisters, let?s stand up right now
It?s never too late to start from the start
Sisters, sisters
Sisters, sisters
Wisdom, O wisdom, that?s what we ask for
And yes, my dear sisters, we must learn to ask
Freedom, O freedom, that?s what we fight for
And yes, my dear sisters, we must learn to fight
Sisters, sisters
Sisters, sisters
Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
New world, O new world, that?s what we live for
And yes, my dear sisters, we must learn to live

When I come in my dream to a house I've never seen before,
I have a tendency to look for the exit door.
'cause I never know it may be that house again,
I never know, I never know.
When I come in my mind to a stream that's running gently,
I have a tendency to run like a frightened deer.
'cause I never know it may take me to that ocean again,
I never know, I never know.
I usually stay away from being carried away,
But one day I saw a silver horse.
I though he might take me to that somewhere high,
I thought he might take me to that deep blue sky.
I came to realize that the horse had no wings.
"no wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know."
I learnt to travel the world around
And run on the ground in the morning.
And that's the story of a wandering soul,

Feeling cold from fear of needing you
Feeling faint from fear of wanting you
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know

My ears getting tired of listening all the time
They've been talking lots of garbage all their lives
And suddenly they decided to ring one back
Ring-ring, ring-ring, my ears are ringing like a warning
My eyes getting tired of looking all the time
They've been talking a lot of winking all their lives
And finally they decided to flash one back
Flash-flash, flash-flash, my eyes are flashing like a warning
My nose is getting tired of sniffing all the time
She's been taking memphis blues all her life
And surely she decided to sneeze one back
Sneeze-sneeze, sneeze-sneeze, my nose is sneezing like a warning
My body's getting tired of taking all the time
She's been taking lot of cornballs all her life
Suddenly she decided to hit one back
Bang-bang, bang-bang, she hits back like a warning
She hits back like a warning
Ring-ring, flash-flash
Sneeze-sneeze, bang-bang
She hits back like a warning
She's gonna hit back
(Yeah)
She's gonna kick back
(Yeah)
You won't know what hit you
Till you see her flashing
(Yeah)
She's gonna hit back
(Yeah)
She's gonna kick back
(Yeah)
You won't know what hit you
Till you see her head flashing
-"sneaky!"
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared,
I'm scared, so scared.
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared,
As the years roll away,
And the price that I paid
And the straws slip away.
You don't have to suffer,
It is what it is.
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh no!
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred,
I'm scarred, oh no.
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred,
Ev'ry day of my life,
I just manage to survive,
I just wanna stay alive.
You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell.
Just dance to the music,
You do it so well, well, well!
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me,
I guess I knew it right from the start.
Sing out about love and peace,
Don't wanna see the red raw meat,
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart.
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone.
No place to call my home,
Like a rolling stone.
Stand even!
Wow!
Lord, take this makeup of off of me.
I said, 'lordy, lordy, lordy, take this makeup offa me.'
It’s bad enough on the beach,
But it’s worse in the sea.
Because I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.
Because I’m lookin’ for my ma.
I said, 'ma, take these guns away from me.'
I said, 'ma, take these guns away from me.'
I got so thin now, they’re draggin’ me down to my knees.
Oh yeah, man, do you mr. jones?
Town,
Now I’ve been here so long, I almost forgot my name.
I said, 'lord I been here so long I almost forgot my name.'
But as long as I keep touring,
I’ll always be in the game, fame, brain, shame and fame and game, fame, fame....

Remember, when you were young,
How the hero was never hung,
Always got away.
Remember, how the man
Used to leave you empty handed,
Always, always let you down.
If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind-ind,
Remember, remember today, hey, hey.
And don't feel sorry
The way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.
Just remember when you were small
How people seemed so tall,
Always had their way, hey, hey.
Do you remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom,
Always, always playing a part.
If you ever feel so sad
And the whole world is driving you mad,
Remember, remember today, hey, hey.
And don't feel sorry
'bout the way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.
No, no, remember,

For the times you feel no love.
Open your heart to breath and live,
In time you'll find love in you.
Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity,
Direct not to your family,
Direct not to the world.
If you turn it to love,
You'll find your happiness,
Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity.
Bless you, bless you, bless you,
Bless you for what you are.

Say we want a revolution,
We'd better get it on right away.
Well, get yer on your feet
And into the street, singing:
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
A million workers workin' for nothin',
You better give 'em what they really own.
We got to put you down
When we come into town, singing:
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
I gotta ask you comrades and brothers,
How do you treat your own woman back home?
She's got to be herself,
So she can give us help, singing:
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
Now, now, now, now!
Oh well, power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
Oh yeah, power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, power to the people!
Power to the people!
Oh well, power to the people!
Potbelly rocker holding his joker
But don't know how to lay a poker.
He carries a guitar, holds on to his bars,
Trying to get his head for the future rock.
Potdizzy rocker gets a rockstockbroker
Who claims he's only a fumble harmer.
With his potfull of stars and handful of cars,
Trying to make his bread from the future stock.
Rocksuck doo-doo,
With a big fat choo-choo,
Don't be a coo-coo.
Gotta get ready for the future shock.
Pothappy rocker, a true blue lover.
His life is full of painful corners.
He blows his horn to the world of thorns,
Trying to make his bed for the future shock,
Potluck lulu
With a hot belly doo-doo,
Don't be a boo-boo.

Open your soul to me,
Open your soul to me,
Open your soul to me.
If we don't open our souls to each other,
There's nothing in between us.
All the years of living,
All the years of talking,
All the years of sharing the space.
If we don't open our souls to each other,
There's nothing in between us.
I remember your eyes,
Reflecting the skies.
Waiting for the boat to come,
Waiting for the boat.
Writing the script of life,
Playing the guessing game,
Hurting from love and fear.
If we don't open our souls to each other,
There's nothing in between us.
Some day when your boat is here
And you're way out there,
You may remember the summer clouds
Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery.
Out the blue life's energy,
Out the blue you came to me.
Ev'ry day I thank the lord and lady
For the way that you came to me.
Anyway, it had to be,
Two minds, one destiny.
Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery.
Out the blue life's energy,
Out the blue you came to me.
All my life has been a long slow knife,
I was born just to get to you.
Anyway, I survived
Long enough to make you my wife.
Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery.
Out the blue life's energy,
Out the blue you came to me.
Like a ufo you came to me
And blew away life's misery.
Out the blue life's energy,
Open your box,
Open your box,
Open your trousers,
Open your thighs,
Open your legs,
Open, open, open, open, oooh.
Open, open, open, open,
Open your legs,
Open your flies,
Open your ears,
Open your nose,
Open your mouth,
Open, open, open, open, oooh.
Open.
Open your cold feet,
Open, open,
Open, open, open, let's open, let's open the cities.
Open the cities,
Open, open, open the world,
Open, let's open the world.
Open, open, oooh -
Make love, not war
I know, you've heard it before.
Make love, not war
I know, you've heard it before.
Love is the answer,
And you know that it's true,
Ain't no people on old dirt road,
No more weather on the old dirt road.
It's better than a mudslide, mama, when the dry spell come, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, old dirt road.
Ain't no diff'rence on old dirt road,
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road.
Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day,
I saw a lazybonin' out in the hay.
I said, "ah, hey, mister human, can ya rainmaker too? "
He said, "i guess it's okay, you know the only thing we need is water,
Cool, clear water , (water) water, (water)."
Ain't no people on old dirt road,
No more weather on the old dirt road.
It's better than a mudslide, mama, when the morning come, yeah,
Oh - oh - oh - oh - old dirt road.
Mm, good night.
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
So long,
So long,
Bye, bye,
Bye,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on,
Love is real, real is love,
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me.
Love is knowing
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
