You need a little bit of poison
You need a little bit of poison
You need a little bit of poison
To keep you strong
First time is the hardest
Cut you like a knife
If it doesn't kill you
You get on with your life
Wind and rain and stormy weather
Love and pain just run together
You need a little bit of poison
You need a little bit of poison
You need a little bit of poison
To keep you strong
Second time sweet and kind
Look out or you'll fall
Think you'll leave a love behind
It ain't that way at all
She's on your mind night and day
But she's a million miles away
You need a little bit of poison
You need a little bit of poison
You need a little bit of poison
To keep you strong
The way you love me leaves me weak
To weak to even cry
If you go you'll kill me
Girl, don't even try
First a little then a little more
Make me forget where I been before
I need a little bit of poison
I need a little bit of poison
I need a little bit of poison
The Colorado Kid is moving at the speed of light
Fast as fate he fades into the darkest heart of night
And everything that went before is soon enough behind
Except the visions in his head that serve only to
remind him
Of other days and other nights and other arms that held
Of longing looks and loving sighs and other lies she'd
tell him
La la la la la la
Was it love or was it pure obsession
Come on, Kid, make your confession
Then you can make your getaway
Tell it straight or you'll wind up in a tangle
Are those the lights of Durango
Or just the light of another day
The Colorado Kid is moving at the speed of death
Slow and hard and painful as the laboring of his breath
Alamosa, Purgatory, up to Colorado Springs
Higher always higher til the blood inside him sings
Of other rooms and cheap perfume and the sweet smell of
her sweat
Of all the nights that went before he knows he can't
forget
La la la la la
Was it love or was it pure obsession
Come on, Kid, make your confession
Then you can make your getaway
Tell it straight or you'll wind up in a tangle
Are those the lights of Durango
I don't know how to explain
The way I feel when I feel the rain
Or why the seasons come and where they go
But your smile is sweet
And that's all I need to know
When the wind is from the west
I close my eyes and I take my rest
What will I do when the north winds blow
If I feel you near That's all I need to know
I don't know why the stars shine in the sky
Could it be they've come to say goodbye
Well they shine for me
And that's all I need to know
Some folks claim to understand
The whole world in a grain of sand
Who am I to say it isn't so
Is your love real
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
and the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe
and lie beneath the laughter of your eyes
It's snowin' on Raton
come morning I'll be through them hills and gone
mother thinks the road is long and lonely
little brother thinks the road is straight and fine
little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
I'm thankful that old road is a friend of mine
Bid the years good-bye you cannot still them
you cannot turn the circles of the sun
you cannot count the miles until you feel them
and you cannot hold a lover that is gone
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
Silently the blanket green and blue
all that I shall hear the silence they are keeping
Lightning spoke to the wind, "The devil's in me today, my friend
Do you see that old oak tree down yonder?
Blow like hell and bring down thunder
When your raging's through, I'll cut that oak in two"
The wind began to moan, the old oak tree began to groan
Thunder raged like hell's own daughter
The air was filled with fire and water
Laughing viciously, lightning struck that tree
The old oak tree began to shudder
But he held his ground like some old soldier
His ancient pride was burnt and shaken
But something deep inside did waken
He raised his limbs just like Moses
And blossomed roses
He blossomed roses
He blossomed roses
The sky is clear, the air is clean
The earth is brown, the forest green
The ancient oak he still is standing
With strength surpassing understanding
Like dreams a noble mind composes, he blossoms roses
Well, I started out with one long dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I'm bad, but I don't care boys, I'm gonna be a million-
aire
Well, I hopped on a ship and we sailed on the waves
Dealt in rum and we dealt in slaves
Left my captain and sold him brave
He's gone, but I don't care, I'm gonna be a millionaire
How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives?
Wishing you were me boys, wishing you were me?
Well, I married rich, a pretty little wife
Brought her misery every day of her life
She slit her wrist with a silver knife
You can't blame that on me boys, her money belongs to
Well, I found myself in a good position
To buy myself some cheap politicians
Bought myself a big election
That's just how it went boys, now I own the president
How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives?
Wishing you were me boys, wishing you were me?
When you say your prayers down on your knees
Ask the Lord, forgive you, please
If it crosses your mind say one for me
I know where I'm bound boys, I know where I'm bound
Cause I started out with one long dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I'm bad, but I don't care boys, I'm gonna be a
It was in the morning papers, the evening papers too
And I saw it on TV, so I know it must be true
This is no idle rumor, they've got the cold hard facts
They've even checked it out on little mice and rats
Just in case you haven't heard, I'll give you the bad news
Love's been linked to the blues
You start out feeling happy but then love brings you down
You're acting like a hero; you end up like a clown
In study after study, it's the heart that gets broke
They're working 'round the clock searching for the antidote
Well, it's true that it's sad,but it's sadder that it's true
Love's been linked to the blues
So you've got to be real careful and always on your guard
Falling in love, you know, it's harmful to your heart
It's worse than they suspected, it's as bad as it gets
The surgeon general says, "You're better off with cigarettes"
If you must have your bad habits
Why don't you stick to booze
'Cause love's been linked to the blues?
Well, it's true that its sad, but it's sadder that it's true
They run up to the sheriff
And they all commence to shout
Dayin', "Sheriff, call your hounds,
Old JT's done broke out!"
Yeah, JT run right pass the guards
And he left them looking slow
And how that old man hopped the fence
I swear I do no know
The sheriff says to his deputies,
"I'll tell you what's on my mind
It won't look too good if we can't catch
A man of sixty-nine
'Cause election day is a-coming up
And I ought to have it cinched
But I ain't got a chance in hell
If we lose that son of a bitch"
They chased him down through the piney woods
And Lord them hounds did bay
But JT jumped into the stream
Took off the other way
The sun come up and the sun come down
And the sun come up again
With JT still a-being chased
By the sheriff and twenty men
The sheriff he gets mad as hell
Says, "I'll take him live or dead"
But 'ol JT's just like a fox
And he stays one step ahead
The sheriff he gets tired
So he stops a while and thinks
"We've lost him boys, let's head for town
cuz I feel I need a drink"
The sheriff chews and the sheriff spits
And he turns his horse around
And him and his twenty deputies
They head back into town
Now the sheriff's feeling mighty low
And he's wishing he's someone else
But when he walks into the bar
Well there's JT himself
The sherrif's eyes get big as life
And it's plain he's had a few
JT says, "Hey, Sheriff,
How come you're so damn late
Here it is a half past ten
I been waitin' here since eight"
The sheriff he gets speechless
And he cannot move his lips
And JT says to the barkeep
"Pour him something stiff"
Then JT takes that drink
And he puts it in the sheriff's hand and says
"Boy, after all these many years
You still don't understand
You don't care about tradition
You don't care about the good old days
How can a young man turn his back
On tried and trusted ways?
God knows I've tried to raise you right
To be an honest thief
I'm just glad your Ma ain't here
To see you come to grief"
Well the sheriff's eyes, they fill with tears
And his heart with love does pound
And he rips that star off of his chest
And throws it on the ground
And he grabs his dear old father
And he hugs him through and through
Says, "Come on, JT, I think I got
Some catchin' up to do"
Ain't this a pretty picture
Ain't this a wholesome sight
Father and son go riding off
Into the dark of night
Go steal a jug of whiskey
Go kill the fatted calf
The prodigal son is leaving home
Man, you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night
Not only that I could tell you why
Back then I could really tell a lie
Well, I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
Then I'd touch him and I'd make him walk again
Then I'd pull some magic trick
I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
I make my lame kid walk
I make a dumb guy talk
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
Everyone just turns and walks away
Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time
So I head across the road to drink some wine
This old man comes up to me
He says, “I seen you on the street”
You're pretty good if I do say so myself
But the guy comes through here last month
He was somethin' else
Instead of callin' down fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
He didn't want nobody's money
I'm not exactly sure
What this all means
But it's the damnest thing
I swear I've ever seen
Well, since that time every town is the same
I can't make a dime I don't know why I came
I decide I'll go and find him
And find out who's behind him
He has everyone convinced that he's for real
Well, I figure we can work some kind of deal
Well, he offers me a job and I say fine
He says I'll get paid off on down the line
Well, I guess I'll string along
Don't see how too much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
Ice cold water running through my veins
I'm on the corner, Twenty-fourth and Main
I don't need no shelter, I can't even feel the rain
Ice Cold Water running through my veins
I'm all right, I'm steady as a rock
My heart ain't pounding, it's ticking like a clock
Got a bullet in my chamber, I got my hammer cocked
I'm all right, I'm steady as a rock
Everything is working out just like I had it planned
Took a lot of misery but now I know just what I am
Ice cold water running through my veins
Ruby Ann put your red dress on
Feel like dancing, staying out til dawn
Best do it while we can 'cause when we're dead we're gone
Well I got religion
And I got it bad And it made me crazy
And it made me mad
So I blew it off
And I got free
Now I'm just as lost as I want to be
I think I'll go down
To Fourth and Vance
Where they'll take your money
If you give 'em a chance
I think I'll have my fill
Of what I think I want
Maybe I'll go home
Maybe I won't
You can come along
You can watch me roll
It's a little joint
Called "The God Shaped Hole"
I's gonna love that woman
Til my dying day
But my jealous heart
Drove her away
But I feel her close
When I lie in bed
And I see the place
She used to rest her head
And I can't get right
Down in my soul
It's like when she left
She left a God shaped hole
Well I knew he was gone
Yeah I knew he was dead
By the hole in his side
By the blood that he bled
Just a bag of bones
When they hauled him down
And they threw him away
In a hole in the ground
Look at the size
Look at the shape
Yeah there was something in there
But it escaped
And it's out there now
Where the cold wind blows
And it might come back
God only knows
Now ther's just a pit
And it's black as coal
Like an unmarked grave
A faraway place
A faraway time
He broke the bread
He poured the wine
The hour was near
The moment nigh
So to his friends
He said goodbye
The time has come
For me to leave
Do not despair
And do not grieve
The path is clear
The way is shown
You need not fear
You’re not alone
Flesh and blood
The soul of man
He lived and died
He lives again
The seasons pass
The ages roll
Kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
Day to night
And night to day
All earthly glory
Fades away
But now the table’s set
And he calls once more
The break to break
The wine to pour
Whatever heartache
We have known
We need not fear
We’re not alone
Flesh and blood
The soul of man
He lived and died
He lives again
Flesh and blood
The soul of man
He lived and died
In Spring the air is filled with sweet perfume
All along these streets the dogwoods bloom
And I remember how we use to be together now
I think of you
When dogwoods bloom
When you were by my side this town was mine
I'm a stranger now, I'm feeling left behind
I miss the touch of you no there's not much that I can do
These days
When dogwoods bloom
All the dogwoods blooming pink and white
All the pretty blossoms soft and light
Do you remember how we used to be together
Do I ever cross your mind
Driving across the Illinois plain
Hard times in '33
John's got a bottle and he's feeling no pain
Just the usual low down misery
Hey John don't you think it's a crying shame
A man lose a farm and he ain't to blame
"They're suckers," says John Dillinger
It's another bleak November day
Can't decide to rain or snow
The money's in the bags and they're getting away
Heading north to Chicago
Big gray buildings, little gray men
Have a little fun then we'll do it again
"All right," says John Dillinger
Luther's bleeding from a hole in his side
I don't believe he'll make it through
Ruby cradles his head and she starts to cry
Oh God, what can I do?
I've always been a gangster's girl
Don't die and leave me alone in the world
"Shut up," says John Dillinger
Across his lap a sub-machine
Under his arm a .38
He's feeling alive, he's feeling mean
His yellow eyes are filled with hate
The papers say he's a Robin Hood
Mistreated and misunderstood
"Fuck'em," says John Dillinger
Well, the sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to hell
Looking for the water from a deeper well
Well, I went to the river but the river was dry
I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky
Looked to the sky and the Spring rain fell
I drank the water from a deeper well
Well, well, well, well
I drank the water from a deeper well, alright
Well, I fell in love like a baby child
I fell for a touch and I fell for a smile
Smile turned bitter and her touch turned cold
I could not keep what I could not hold
So, I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
And the three of us made a terrible sight
Whored and we gambled with the money we'd steal
Looking for the water from a deeper well
Well, well, well, well
Looking for the water from a deeper well
Well, the moon got weak and he soon was gone
And the night got sick and he died with the dawn
Died with the dawn with a drink in his hand
Too sick to walk, too drunk to stand
Well, time stood still but I ran wild
And I got my fill with a crooked smile
Woke up on the floor of a jailhouse cell
Looking for the water from a deeper well
Well, well, well, well
I drank the water from a deeper well
Well, the sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to hell
Looking for the water from a deeper well
Well, I went to the river but the river was dry
And I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky
Looked to the sky and the Spring rain fell
I drank the water from a deeper well
Well, well, well, well
Boss don't shoot no dice
Boss don't roll no bones
Boss don't shoot no dice don't roll no bones
Sometimes you're a hero
Sometimes you're a fool
Sometimes you hit zero
No matter what you do
Hard times hit the good man
Just like they hit the bad
Sometimes you get lucky
Sometimes you get had
But the boss don't shoot...
Lately I've been sinking
Lately I've been lost
Lately I've been thinking
Where in the world's the boss
He's got all the answers
He makes all the rules
What I got is nothin'
Now what my sposed to do
But the boss don't shoot...
Everybody's saying
This whole world's on the brink
Everybody's praying
So loud that I can't think
There aint but one thing certain
Aint but one thing known
Boss don't shoot no dice
Sure don't roll no bones
When the wheel turn around
And your number comes up
You can trade in your pencils
And your little tin cup
You can get up off your knees
You can get up off your back
When they hand you the keys
To the big Cadillac
When your money turns green
And your inside's straight
You'll have kings and queens
You'll have aces backed with eights
And when your flush gets filled
With a one-eyed jack
It's gonna be a thrill
In the big Cadillac
Now you can buy that gun
With a trigger you can pull it
You know the pearl-handled one
That shoots silver bullets
At the shadows in the night
When the wheel turn around
And you're the head of the class
Now you can drive uptown
Behind your tinted glass
Wear your bullet-proof vest
With the buttons down the back
You got to look your best
Some work and slave for all of their days
And they'll do anything whatever it pays
Some of us search and we find other ways
Me, I turned to thieving
A little bit here and a little bit there
Always some danger but i didn't care
As long as I felt I was getting my share
That's all I ever believed in
From the day I was born I understood
One way or another I'd wind up no good
One night I got caught, always knew that I would
The charges were robbery and murder
I broke into a house for money and jewels
Some old man tried to stop me, poor misguided fool
I killed him and left him in his own bloody pool
I ran but was caught by the soldiers
They bound me and beat me and put me on trial
It was all cut and dried, it took a short while
"Have you anything to say?" I only smiled
And said, "Judge, let's get this over."
I was led from the courtroom and back to my cell
For a man 'bout to die I was taking it well
With no hope of heaven and no fear of hell
Only silence and darkness forever
I awoke from a dream in the middle of the night
The door burst open and in streamed the light
A man was thrown in more dead than alive
On his face I could see the blood glisten
I could tell at a glance he'd been beat black and blue
He lay their unconscious but then he came to
I said, "Tell me, friend, what on earth did you do."
He said, "I told them but they wouldn't listen."
Told them what?" I asked but he didn't speak again
He just lay there quiet in his blood and his pain
The morning broke, it was starting to rain
The guards come in and they got us
Out to the courtyard in the cool morning air
A crowd was waiting. Why were they there?
Two small-time losers, what did they care?
I'd have thought they'd already forgot us
The next thing I heard was the governor's own voice
He raised up his hands and the mob ceased its noise
"According to custom I'm giving you the choice
Which of these men should I pardon?"
The mob went crazy and cried out my name
Shouting, "Give us Barabas!" again and again
The governor sighed and said, "My hands are clean."
The mob shouted, "Give us Barabas!"
But what kind of freedom is this that is mine?
To spend all my days in search of a sign
To have my life saved and to never know why
To owe such a debt to a stranger
I will go with the wind to a far distant land
I will not cease my wandering til I understand
I will tell everyone, every woman and man
Of the strange things I have beheld here
My name is Josiah
I've come down to the river
I don't care to see what's behind me
I've traveled alone
I'm a long ways from home
There's no need for you to remind me
The past I once had's
Gone rotten, gone bad
There's no loving smile to console me
Well, the future's unknown
But back there at home
There's no one now left to hold me
My days once flew by
Like the geese in the sky
Flying high over Avery County
In our little mountain home
I never felt alone
It was me and Mama and Daddy
Daddy worked now and then
Odd jobs for a friend
But he made most his money off moonshine
We barely had enough
But we always had love
I never went to sleep hungry or crying
Daddy left home one night
With a load of white lightnin'
Said he was heading for Charlotte
But he never got that far
Him and his car
Crashed halfway down Kimbrough Mountain
That left Mama and me
Living off charity
And what little Daddy had left us
And pretty soon the bank
Was breathing down our necks
Saying they was going to evict us
Well a man come around
He'd just moved to town
He started sweet talking Mama
At the end of her rope
She'd 'bout given up hope
She believed when he promised to love her
He preached and he roared
Like a man of the Lord
His message was Hell and Damnation
When I stood in-between
My mother and him
He said, "Your boy here's in need of salvation."
With his high holy ways
He treated me like a slave
Said I was born of the Devil
He beat me til I bled
Then he left me for dead
His eyes shining wicked and evil
Well I ran off that night
In the autumn moonlight
I could hear Mama crying for mercy
I found a boat by the river
I got in and untied her
To the sound of his unholy cursing
Long as this river flows
I reckon I'll go
Til it runs out into the sea
If he follows me there
I'll kill him I swear
He's got no more power over me
If my Mama were alive
I'd tell her goodbye
I'll see her someday way up yonder
Now the sun's going down
To the river I'm bound
Fare thee well Avery County
Now the sun's going down
To the river I'm bound
They run up to the sheriff
And they all commence to shout
Dayin', "Sheriff, call your hounds,
Old JT's done broke out!"
Yeah, JT run right pass the guards
And he left them looking slow
And how that old man hopped the fence
I swear I do no know
The sheriff says to his deputies,
"I'll tell you what's on my mind
It won't look too good if we can't catch
A man of sixty-nine
'Cause election day is a-coming up
And I ought to have it cinched
But I ain't got a chance in hell
If we lose that son of a bitch"
They chased him down through the piney woods
And Lord them hounds did bay
But JT jumped into the stream
Took off the other way
The sun come up and the sun come down
And the sun come up again
With JT still a-being chased
By the sheriff and twenty men
The sheriff he gets mad as hell
Says, "I'll take him live or dead"
But 'ol JT's just like a fox
And he stays one step ahead
The sheriff he gets tired
So he stops a while and thinks
"We've lost him boys, let's head for town
cuz I feel I need a drink"
The sheriff chews and the sheriff spits
And he turns his horse around
And him and his twenty deputies
They head back into town
Now the sheriff's feeling mighty low
And he's wishing he's someone else
But when he walks into the bar
Well there's JT himself
The sherrif's eyes get big as life
And it's plain he's had a few
JT says, "Hey, Sheriff,
How come you're so damn late
Here it is a half past ten
I been waitin' here since eight"
The sheriff he gets speechless
And he cannot move his lips
And JT says to the barkeep
"Pour him something stiff"
Then JT takes that drink
And he puts it in the sheriff's hand and says
"Boy, after all these many years
You still don't understand
You don't care about tradition
You don't care about the good old days
How can a young man turn his back
On tried and trusted ways?
God knows I've tried to raise you right
To be an honest thief
I'm just glad your Ma ain't here
To see you come to grief"
Well the sheriff's eyes, they fill with tears
And his heart with love does pound
And he rips that star off of his chest
And throws it on the ground
And he grabs his dear old father
And he hugs him through and through
Says, "Come on, JT, I think I got
Some catchin' up to do"
Ain't this a pretty picture
Ain't this a wholesome sight
Father and son go riding off
Into the dark of night
Go steal a jug of whiskey
Go kill the fatted calf
The prodigal son is leaving home
Let's sing a song for the Suicide Kid
Who pulled on the trigger and heard only a click
Who stood on the edge and took a deep breath
Who drank all the poison and waited for death
He waited for death but death never showed
And the Suicide Kid slowly got old
Where does it go when its all spent and gone
When you've downed your last shot and sung
your last song
His wild-haired companions, he's out drunk them all
Now the willowy women won't answer his call
They won't answer his call, they won't come to his bed
The nights last forever for the Suicide Kid
His handsthey tremble, his voice cracks and breaks
The Suicide Kid wakes up with the shakes
He rants and he rambles alone in his room
He falters and stumbles and fades like the moon
He fades like the moon at the dawning of day
The strange young man who comes to me
A soldier on a three day spree
Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
And a woman's arms to hide him
He greets me with a courtly bow
And hides his pain by acting proud
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
How can I deny him?
Let us dance beneath the moon
I'll sing to you Claire de Lune'
The morning always comes too soon
But tonight the war is over
He speaks to me in schoolboy French
Of a soldier's life inside a trench
Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
I do my best to please him
He puts two roses in a vase
Two roses sadly out of place
Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
Playfully I tease him
Hold me 'neath the Paris skies
Let's not talk of how or why
Tomorrow's soon enough to die
But tonight the war is over
We make love too hard too fast
He falls asleep, his face a mask
He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
I put my arms around him
They die in the trenches and they die in the air
In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere
They die so fast there's no time to prepare
A decent grave to surround them
Old world glory, old world fame
The old world's gone, gone up in flames
Nothing will ever be the same
And nothing lasts forever
Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
There's always another with the same funny bow
The truest heart will not be tempted
With bright silver or shining gold
For all your wealth she'd not speak falsely
And all your power cannot hold
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Her face is fair to those who know her
The rest are blind, they cannot see
And in her eyes you see forever
Endless joy and misery
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Some men gamble for their pleasure
Some men gamble for their greed
I will gamble for her favor
I will gamble out of need
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Here's to our Lady of Good Fortune
Deliver me from an evil hand
Here's to the one who plays against me
Be he spirit or be he man
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Lay down your kingdom lay down
Lay down your kingdom lay down
I don't need money & I don't wanna suck
I don't speak Russian & I don't need luck
Don't need pleasure & I don't dig shows
Not gonna speak again now til tomorrow
Ain't got nothing to buy, got nothing to sell
Not looking for Heaven & I been to Hell
Crime and punishment don't touch me
I gotta judge that don't live in the city
All I want is out of here
I don't want power & I don't need fame
It just don't matter if you know my name
I'll take anything - I just don't care
You don't know me?
Christ you see me everywhere.
Hard reallity so what's that?
Peoples think I know where its at.
I work for love and I don't feel free.
Just believe in you inside your ??????
All I want is out of here
Rest to come.......
wots the use of freedom
when theres no idea of change
& wots the use of money
when success is out of range
& wots the use of time
when youre just stoned out of your mind
& wots the use of working
when its just a daily grin
and me i'm dreamin a dream
that everything i'm thinking
doesnt mean what it seems to be
spinoza eats his yoghurt with
some rad designer dyke
while k d laing tells sharon stone
just get on your bike baby
& neitze's's reading superman
but who's this guy clark kent?
while the daughters of the patriarchy
spend themselves in tents
and me i'm dreamin a dream
that everything i'm dreamin about
doesn't mean what it seems to mean
power dressing pussycat
always in control
while life style therapists
take oprah winfrey's soul
while crystal healing dolphin jesus
sends a psychic fax
while a fascist boy soprano
stabs madonna in the back
but me i'm dreamin a dream
that everything i'm seeing
doesn't mean what it seems to mean
well its no use baby i dont care
if the moon's too fat
& the sun's gone square
& you can cry dry tears
& you can sigh thin air
but y still gotta live until y die oh yeh
so wots the use of freedom
when theres no idea of change
& wots the use of money
when success is out of range
& wots the use of time
when youre just stoned out of your mind
& wots the use of working
when its just a daily grind

Wise Man In Your Heart - daevid allen, mike howlett,
pierre moerlen
I met a man a wise old man
The day I lost my pride
He told me he belonged to me
But from me he would hide
But that I would not hear his voice
Until I learned to sing
Now every time I sing I know that I belong to him
Singing Oh why
Singing Oh why
He told me he would teach me everything I tried to know
He made me see that you & me are dreamers in a show
& when the days were darkest then
He lit them with his moon
& then we crossed the rainbow bridge
& we came back too soon
Singing Oh why
Singing Oh why
He showed me where he was Atman
That man I could not see
He pointed to the sky until
A ladder I could see
I climbed for many lives to find the secret golden
flower
But then I woke & found I'd slept for less than half an
hour
Where is your wise man?
How is the wise man?
Who is this wise man?
Who is this wise man?
He brought us all together then
When I was all alone
He made me see that we could not
Be only flesh & bone
Well it makes you feel so beautiful
You can tell yourself apart
Every time you listen to
This is the first time,
this is the last time.
Bin tackin up no time,
Singthe blues for the last time.
Got my green metal shades,
Just a rose coloured spade.
Whose been puttin you on,
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
(music break)
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
the rapist is counting his sentences
while his victim sits sketching his face
she tries to forget
but his eyes will not let her
let go of his lingering trace
& the wise woman sleeps by the river
& she dreams she's the riverbird diving for fish
& the lightning's along the horizon
& the fool he sits drinking his poison
& the judge he is losing his reason
& the rapist re-lives and believes his belief
that he fulfils her subconscious wish
the woman is washing her body
she is beating a path to the well
she douches and showers
each two or three hours
but she can't get away from his smell
& the old man makes love to his daughter
the volcano breaks crust with its crater
& the first lights of home have been sighted again
but the jury is getting excited
& the rapist just wants to repeat it again
& the all masculine panel is a no exit tunnel
& she feels violated again and again
now the lady is angry with penises
the lady is angry with me
she burns thru my actions
she lives my destruction
as i temper myself till i'm free
& the cat it has captured the hummingbird
& the snake it has entered the tower
& the rapist he dreams he is back at the scene
in his moment of dangerous power
the boy he makes love to his mother
& his mother turns into a spider
the spider stings smack
as he blows off his stack
& his line is plugged into the meter
& the young girl she weeps in the garden
& the flowers are broken and crushed
the wise women are watching and waiting
for the male world to crash
People people love me do
I love me because I'm you but
Why do people always call me
Stoned Innocent Frankenstein
Freaks and monsters live with me but
I don't want to set them free
Cos I love you because you call me
Stoned Innocent Frankenstein
But you know that I know that
you know that we know
the rainbow the sun shows
the mind blows the world goes
People people help me please
You're so cool I'm 'bout to freeze
but all you say is green cheese please you're
Stoned Innocent Frankenstein
But you know that I know that
you know that we know
the sun shows the mind blows
the wind blows the world goes
Dream train - Ooo Ooo, steam train - Ooo Ooo!
Dream train - Ooo Ooo, steam train - Ooo Ooo!
Spirit - daevid allen
Spirit of the solar light
Spirit of the sky blue sky
Spirit of the cosmic ray
I work my way to you
Inside me
You guide me
To walk with you a while
(shadowself:)
You with your god & yr mothers
& yr brothers & yr fool moon powers
& yr mainline station meditations
You with yr pen & yr zen &
yr Om & yr lotus coitus surplus mucous
You with yr true blue zero the hero
yr picturebook of pixies & Gong gone wrong
& ding dang no more sing song
You with yr new dude king guru
gonna send you a miracle you believe it
know its true blue green grey black
is the colour of your eyes closed...
Spirit of the solar light
Spirit of the sky blue sky
Spirit of the cosmic ray
I work my way to you
Beside me
You guide me
To sing my love for humankind
have you seen the moon tonight
it's very nearly full
so eat & drink your fill
for soon twill come to pass
the king will feed the grass
& sacrifice his personality
to the tree
to the sea
cos 'its not me...'
oh no personality
will never pass for me
because I'm
really the grass
sing a song of satisfaction
here turns the worm
pockets full of sperm
& seas that tilt & spill
while we go through the mill
& leave the cosmic bill for someone else
to feel the pulse
to make the choice
& waltz the night away
who pays?
Not me anyway
not today thanks
I've other fish to fry
Now I must fly
no one's slave i am
no one's master
no one's slave i am
no one's master
on my grave they will
write this after i am gone
i will be gone
and my flesh will go to the earth it lived on
breath will go to the air it lived from
i am through with the pain of my lying
had my fill of the cruelty and crying
paid my dues
in the land where the dying desert grows
& now i know
i am looking out for a new perspective
listening out for a new directive
going back to the land of my mothers
i will walk with my sisters and brothers
we will share what is good for each other in our love
it is a love
it is a love that brings you the invitation
listen now to my invocation
mother earth i was nearly the end of you
please accept my desire to be friends with you
now i know just how much i depend on you for life
you are my life
you are that life that grows in the flesh i'm weaving
life that blows in the air i'm breathing
i'm as strong as a tree on a mountain
free and full as a fresh flowing fountain
bright and clear as the stars beyond
shining in the night
i am that light
i am the light that shines in a million people
in my sight every life is equal
no one's slave i am no ones master
no one's slave i am no one's master
on my grave
they will write this
after i am gone
I know that I cannot leave this
place full of memories
Things like the way they
knew us all over town
We used to walk the streets
together - We could be seen
Bus stops where people
knew us, yeah, people knew
I've got to choose between
tomorrow and yesterday
I can't stop to think about
my life here today
Maybe I'll find someone
to get you off my mind
Take me away from here
when the rich man makes his fortune
pops the best champagne
when the sick man cures his illness
conquerer of pain
these are the high points of our lives
for the warrior its the danger
edge of life and death
schoolboy immitate TV ranger
watch him hold his breath
these are the high points of our lives
fashion model fame and beauty
flash in the peter pan
theres no body can sustain it
cash in perfect hands
these are the high points of our lives
for the seeker its the melting
in samadhi's flame
for the baby its the mother
callin out their name
these are the high points of our lives
find her in the sunset
find her in the rain
find her in the lake's reflection
lookin for yrself again
these are the high points of our lives
but when the show is over
and everybody's gone
the sole remaining waiter
slyly dons his early morning madness
Have you seen my friend
She's gone round the bend
& I'm wonderin if she's OK
Very strange...
She's a kind of witch
She can be a bitch
But I'm wondering if she's OK
Very strange...
She's left her family her body & her mind
I'm finding her footprints are pretty hard to find
I hope you don't think I'm unkind
She reminds me of you
Have you seen my friend
She's gone round the bend
& I'm wonderin if she's OK
Very strange...
She's left her family her body & her mind
I'm finding her footprints are pretty hard to find
I hope you don't think I'm unkind
Good Morning - daevid allen
Good morning...good morning...
Hey ho the cock will crow
An opening eye
A peeping toe
All the world is waking up & coming true now...
Ahhhhh...
I propose a buttered toast to marmalade
Instead of going back to bed
Until you hear the bell
You know the show must go on
s'what the showman said
or else the night may never come again
if the clock's on strike as well
ding dong bell
but who cares how
it's now
it's now
yesterday's tomorrow
time to follow the path
right down the straight & narrow
Ishq! Moksha!
Daevid:
But fears & tears
& how many years gone who knows where…
Anna:
look here
look there
you're everywhere
Daevid:
And the poor & the war and the jaws of death!
Who asked for more?
Anna:
It's you. It's me. We ask for more!
Daevid:
What for...?
We gonna get... it pretty soon now if we let it...
But its THEM they say
The great grey THEY!
But who are they but us & me & you too
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK ITS YOU
ME MULTIPLIED BY YOU
ITS NOTHING NEW
So love yr lady love yr man
& asking for nothing in return...
nothing.
cuz in your face the human race
is happening in some funny place
well...no man can explain it
cuz it such a crazy old planet
maybe soon there won't be anyone left on it
Now dreamin' a dream
That everything I'm saying
Doesn't mean what it seems to mean
Doesn't seem what it seems to be
I'M GOIN CRAZY!!
Anna:
Why do you burn, oh man you should know
That everything is sure to change
If you could simply smile
You'll end up laughing at yourself...
Chorus:
what shall we grow in your garden my dear
if my seed comes to breed in your nursery?
a dolphin or a deva or a true devotee
that your love may never grow thirsty
for a soul is so real and so whole and so free
and a body is so frail
and so human are we
are we dreaming?
is this the earth dreaming too?
will we live till we die
wondering why
or will we learn to grow
day by day by day by day by day
with the fruit of yr labour asleep at yr breast
will you nurture them softly and quietly?
and when next thing
the offspring have flown from the nest
can you love them and let them go quietly?
for a soul is so real and so whole and so free
and a body is so frail
and so human are we
are we dreaming?
is this the earth dreaming too?
will we live till we die
wondering why
or will we learn to grow
day by day by day by day by day
and here comes the autumn when leaves turn to gold
and the waning moon silvers me lightly
in the afternoon sun its good fun to grow old
as you hold me and lie with me quietly
for yr love is so real and so whole and so free
and a body is so frail
and so human are we
are we dreaming?
is this the earth dreaming too?
will we live till we die
wondering why
or will we learn to grow
day by day by day by day by day
and when old father time rings the chimes of my years
and i see my life turning around me
when you lay me down in your garden my dear
will you kiss me and let me go lightly?
for a death is so real and so whole and so free
and a body is so frail
and so human are we
are we dreaming?
is this the earth dreaming too?
will we live till we die
wondering why
or will we learn to grow
BBC Radio announcer:
"And now's the moment at five to three a.m. for which
you've chosen to deprive yourselves of sleep"
Hello! - Banana
O hand me me Bowler and me Didgery Doo
one banana sandwich and a bucket of tea
abra cabra dabra I'm a coolibar tree
takes a bowl 'a soup to paint a picture like me
no doubt about it
some dogs breakfast of a bloke I be
smokin' all the tealeaves on me family tree
I'm a friend of tweedle dum and tweedly dee
Lotsa lovely badges on me old school knee - cap
O hand me a dalhia we're gonin' to Australia
Me life's been a failure
She's turned me down
Soon I'll be waltzin' on the old gold sands
Everything's too loverly to understand
Pass me the parsley and me 99th chip
ain't nothin' nasty gonna pass my lips
How you going son?
.......................
.......................
wani in the candle light
turi by fire light
never give up the fight
see the shadows on the wall
just waiting for a chance
to dance with you in your dream
fire
becomes
Tell me what's it all about
What is this funny old world that
We can't do without
Tell me why we argue like we do.
We rob & rape & kill & still don't understand
We only rob ourselves
& then we wonder why we suffer like we do
soon we'll remember
& understand
THE CHILDREN OF THE NEW WORLD
& THE DIFFERENT GAMES THEY PLAY
cos we made love all the night time
turned out to be the right time
now there's children everywhere
Tell me where you're really from
What is this funny old world the human race has won
Tell me why to die fills us with fear
Its not the first its not the last time we'll be born
Our turn will come again
Pick up put down those clothes of human flesh we wear
Slowly we're learning
To understand
THE CHILDREN OF THE NEW WORLD
ARE THE CHILDREN OF TODAY
Soon they'll begin
Revolutionizing
& reorganising
As the old world fades away
i came to find her
far across the world i came
lookin for my lover
lost shadow in the world game
the time she left me i was
burnin like a bird on fire
puppet on a melting wire
windup spring unwound
she found love the
dancing on a money box
tying up the thought fox
givin me the runaround
gender gap tender spot
she loved me she loved me not
turnin on her heel she got
married on the rebound
but now i'm sittin here having coffee with you
wondering how you feel today
do you still have sugar in yr cappuccino?
do yr eyes still flutter away?
i'm feelin like a man that fell to earth
doesnt recognise the pulse
i'm startin to wonder just who we are
i tried to find you
now i'm tryin to convince myself
that i'm not somebody else
old age new age
trap the bird inside the cage
pleasing daddy leads to rage
theatre in the round eye
blazing crazy
happy sad time bomb
swingin on a pendulum
who can calculate the sum
sleepin with the outcome's
easy peasy
say cheese smile please
bare yr teeth but not yr soul
sex & hugs & shock control
tryin hard pushin for yr own space
fear of not enough for me
left alone without a lover
moving target finds its cove
livin 'tween a cushion and a soft place
you say you will no longer walk the path of fear
step out of nintendo game
warrior woman will shed no tears
she will generate no blame
but time is a river of deep belief
head above the surface or drown
to swim back upstrea
tryin to grasp a past dream
its hard to face the fact
that in this fiction
i'm living on your own
here i sit now
in a theatre in the round
watch you dance without a sound
are we dead or are we in the dreamtime?
fellow travellers round yr fire
watch you walk the high thought wire
watchin for the flyer to inspire us real time
they come to see and to be seen
the real dramas they play between
the acts and encores 'tween the scenes
read between the songlines
to show yr vulnerability
demands intense humility
cos human fallibility
knows self esteem is simply mainly
ego there you go
most of the time
once i was a teacher in a circle of ghosts
none of them believed they were dead
i closed my eyes and took em to the mountain but
we went down a stairway instead
we dug up our bodies and many old fears
shook out dusty wings to fly
i began to wonder what i was doing this for
but i forgot to ask them then
i'm singin a song about a lonely guy
walking alone in the rain
he looks at the faces as they wander by
but they're all the same
his friends in his hometown are far away
his lovers are lost in a dream
he turns and he walks into a parlour game
he puts his hands out to touch
what he wants O so much
but its all double dutch
oh oh
what should he do know
could this be you
so teach me about emotions oo oo ooh
laugh at my devotion oo oo ooh
when god knows i've tried
to walk side by side
and keep my feelings inside of me
oh my poor brothers my friends
the women just ain't who they used to be
relationship's come to an end
without dignity
oh what it was to be a man
so proud so respected so strong
so tell me where did we go wrong
where the women give birth
and inherit an earth
where a man has no worth
oh oh
the game is over
no pleasing her
you know
the pleasers are the losers oo oo ooh
the abused become the abusers oo oo ooh
maybe i'm a fool
mute as a mule
keepin my cool
poor men
the women just aint who they used to be
nobody told me nothin bout that
my momma she done told me
SITDOWN there & EAT YR TEA boy
take off yr DIRTY SOX & leave em t'ME boy
you better GET yr SeLF a GAL To CaRE for
YE boy
"My GAL..

SHE RECKONS SHE

ANGER BECAUSE I GOT EXPECTATIONS
ANGER COS I WANT SEX-UAL RELATIONS
ANGER COS SHE SAY I DONT OWN HER

I don't need money & I don't wanna suck
I don't speak Russian & I don't need luck
Don't need pleasure & I don't dig shows
Not gonna speak again now til tomorrow
Ain't got nothing to buy, got nothing to sell
Not looking for Heaven & I been to Hell
Crime and punishment don't touch me

It just don't matter if you know my name
