Operator number please
It´s been so many years
And she´ll remember my old voice
While I fight the tears
Hello, hello there is this Martha ?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don´t worry ´bout the cost.....
It´s been 40 years or more
Now Martha please recall
And meet me out for coffee
Were we´ll talk about it all
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you !
And all you had was me !
And there was no tomorrow´s
As we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day.....!
And I feel so much older now
And you´re much older too
Oh, how´s the husband and how´s the kids
You know that I got married too.....?!
Oh, lucky that you found someone
To make you feel secure
Oh we were all so young and foolish
Now we are mature.....
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you !
And all you had was me !
And there was no tomorrow´s
As we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day.....!
And I was always so impulsive
I guess that I still am !!!
But all that really mattered then
Was that I was a man !
I guess that our being together
Was never meant to be
Oh, but Martha, oh Martha I love you !
Can´t you see.....!!!
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you !
And all you had was me !
And there was no tomorrow´s
As we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day.....!
And I remember quiet evenings

Damois woa ma so, so jung
und heut san ma so reif
doch i hob immer
nur dich geliebt
wos i heute erst begreif

Paul Kantner)
Patiently;
Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps,
She sifts the hairy air that's worn and woodswept,
Pleasantly;
She does as she pleases,
She listens for me;
Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow,
You can dance and sing and walk with me;
"Fly to me:"
And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed;
She does as she pleases,
Her heels rise for me;
as she murmurs to her feet,
My love, she talks to winking windows,
Thoughtfully;
Caught for me;
She separates in laughter to my side,
She does as she pleases,
Her heels rise for me;
and it's waiting there for me;
Martha , she keeps her heart in a broken lock,
What a great thing to be free;
She weeds apart through a token lock;
She weeps time, starts unspoken;
But when the gate swings,
There she'll be,
there she'll be
In green sun;
Under warm sunning showers.
On blue earth;

With a coffee and the steering wheel in my hand
On the road again and where is it going to bring us
With the sun ahead of us, and these fuckin' hippies in the back
Nobody will ever stop us, Martha baby, I'm never going to leave you
With the stars the clouds and the moon in the sky
The hippies are sleeping but we keep on going
The road we've done and the road that's ahead of us
The things we've seen, and the things we're going to see
Hey Martha [x3]
We're going, We're going
and we're never going to stop [x2]
I as the captain, and Martha you as the boat
Once again we hit the road
Martha baby you know we're living the life of freedom
And nobody can stop us
Not even the cops...You fucking pigs!
Martha we move ahead, through summer and winter
I know that my Martha, she will get us there
With the Grim Skunk boys, we're smoking big fat joints

Operator, number please
It's been so many years
She'll remember my old voice
While I fight the tears
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is ol' Tom Frost
Now I'm calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost
It's been twenty years or more
Now Martha please recall
And meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all
And those were days of roses
Of poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you
And all you had was me
There was no tomorrow
We packed away our sorrows
And saved 'em for a rainy day
And I remember quiet evenings
Trembling close to you
I feel so much older now
You're much older too
How's the husband
And how's the kids
You know I got married too
Lucky that you found someone
Who makes you feel secure
We were all so young and foolish
Now we are mature
I was always so impulsive
Guess that I still am
But all that really mattered then
Was that I was a man
Guess that our bein' together
Was never meant to be
But Martha, Martha, I love you

Wilkommen mein Faust
In die Welt von Martha
Sag' wiedersehn, bye bye Wisssenschaft
Keine Liebe
Was machst du hier, Faust ?
Mit grossen Sorgen
Ohne Liebe Martha...
Was machst du hier Faust ?
Und bist du sicher ?
Menschen graben ein Stadt
Menschen graben ein Schaft
Im lieber Martha
Im Babylonia, Im Babylonia
Meine Liebe Martha
Was ? Komm zu mir, Frau !
Zu Babylone
He don't understand
Why donb't you love wise men ?
Hey, little Martha
Bobbed hair, short teets
You're dancing a twist
That'll make his poor heart quit
Hello Mephisto, I've got a magical ring
You know I'm cold like winter I want to rest into
spring
Hi ! I read the Greeks, baby
I know quantum physics too
But a girl like you makes me kind of - silly cunts
That's why I dance alone, yes
That's why I dance alone
Like a dantzig twist
You dance alone in Babylone
And if I may hold you, I will never have you
My little Martha
What are we here for ?

I must be saving these days
I have no money to save
I must save health and strength
Enough to last me for a long while
I must save my nerves
And my thoughts and my mind
And the fire of my spirit
I must be saving the tears that flow
I shall need them for a long, long while
I must save endurance for these stormy days
There is so much, (strengthen me)
I need in my life, (so I'll see)
Warmth of feelings and a kind of heart
These things I lack, of these I must be saving
All these, the gifts of God
I wish to keep
How sad I should be
