You are the most extraordinary person
You write the most peculiar kind of tunes
I met you floating as I was boating
One Afternoon
Wasn't it the most amazing meeting
surrounded by those monsters from the deep
You started telling me a funny story, and I fell asleep
Oh Wot a dream that was
So many problems, yet none at all
So many windows through every wall
So many feelings you won't express
So many failures you call success
Don't let it get you down
You cry over loosing, what you never really had
Just remember the good times alongside the bad
Remember that real love never disappears
If it lasted a moment, it will last for years
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it fool you in any way
You know your tomorrow depends on today
If you're carrying nothing it won't weigh you down
You are the king and queen, you are the crown
Don't let it get you down
It begins with a blessing
And it ends with a curse;
Making life easy,
By making it worse;
My mask is my master,
The trumpeter weeps,
But his voice is so weak
As he speaks from his sleep, saying
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping!
People are watching,
People who stare;
Waiting for something
That's already there.
Tomorrow I'll find it ,
The trumpeter screams,
And remembers he's hungry
And drowns in his dreams, saying
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping!
My head is a nightclub
With glasses and wine;
The customers dancing
Or just making time;
While daevid is cursing
The customers scream!
Now everyone's shouting,
Well, I met a traveller
Never did learn his name;
His eyes were bright coloured.
But not both the same.
He shook my hand warmly
I could tell he was strong
And he answered my questions
By singing this song
One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere;
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care.
Well, it rained all that night
And in the morning, rain still
And I saw the traveller
At the top of the hill
He was laughing at the thunder
And banging a gong
And, at the top of his voice
He shouted his song.
One find it, etc.
When the storm had died down
He came to my door
And he looked really happy
As he dripped on the floor
He said, "please excuse me
But I won't stay long;
Just give me what you don't want
And then I'll move on, singing
One find it, etc.
Said he had to keep going
But he didn't say where
When I offered him money
He refused with a glare.
Then he roared out with laughter
As ht picked up his gong
And he left without looking back
Singing his song:
Sometimes I get too drunk
I feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and I know it
And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too
'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
I won't say that I love you
'Cause that would be a lie
I can only say I try, and you know it
Love is something more or less than words can hope to say
It's something day to day in the life we're living
Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
Yes I can count all mine on one finger
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
The distance that's between us
It just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range
Of misunderstanding
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
J'etais perdu dans la rue
fatigue et mal au cul
J'ai vu un petit cafe
avec une fille dedans
et je lui disais
'Puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
pour te regarder?
J'aimerais la compagnie de ton soleil.
Je ne veux pas plus que ca
Non, ca n'est pas une grande histoire
Encore un beau sourire
et apres ca je peux partir
'Puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
pour te regarder?
J'aimerais bien la compagnie de ton soleil.
Oh my - I
really try
but I just don't get any-
-where.
You might say it only
seems that way. And
I could find something
everywhere. And
maybe I agree with
you. But I'd
just like to say this
too. Its
All very fine, if you're
really divine. And
everybody wants you
bad. You can
take what you please with the
greatest of ease. And
nobody will let you be
sa-a-ad. But
Oh my, the
days go by. I
make no connection at
all. I
drink this wine in the
bright sunshine. A-
waiting for a star to
fa-a-all. I
must be like a million
souls, who
got nobody at
all. To
warm their hearts, and
give them a start,
spinning in the bright blue
sky. On the
wings of love that could
take them above, to
places where the penguins
fly-y-y. But
Oh my. Do
I get high
Lady, when I'm next to
you. You're so
crazy and wild, such a
happy child. You
make a lot of loving
too-oo-oo
Once upon an ocean
We dream a ship to sail
When it start leaking
We had to learn to bail
All that mattered it was
Keeping the ship afloat
But we couldn't work together
We become a drunken boat
Captain shouted out
Nobody hear him speak, oh no
Everyone went rushing round going crazy
Trying to find that leak
Waves getting heavier
We don't stand much chance
Then we heard that old familiar music
And we just had to dance
Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn
No, no, no, no
Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn
Guess you know by now or at least you should
There is no volunteer for the common good
Still waiting for the saviour to appear
But he's s not here
And no one's coming down to save your soul
You're the only ones who can assume that role
But your minds are empty and you've lost control
To the ones who sell you dreams
To fill that hole
Some of us I know seem to have much more
Born with a key to every door
Distribution of fortune seems unfair
Same everywhere
And those who have they just want more
Using other peoples weakness to increase their score
Do you really know who you're working for
It's not for one another and that s for sure
Guess you know by now or ac least you should
There is no volunteer for the common good
Still waiting for that saviour to appear
But he's still not here
And no one's s coming down to save your soul
You're the only ones who can assume that role
But your minds are empty
And you've lost control
To the ones who sell you dreams
Its late in the evening
And the weather is cold
I'm beginning to miss you
But that storys so old
I know I've been knocking
My head on the wall
And I must have been crazy
To leave
Oh yeah, yeah
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Sometimes I'm burning
With a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
And all those musical ladies
And the crazed young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? 0h no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat
I find a small cafe
I see a girl and then I say
'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
You don't have to say a thing
You're the song without the sing
The sunlight in your hair
You look so good just sitting there
'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
Margaret
You're such a magical child
I found that
The first time you smiled
And the more i get to know you
The more I am amazed
To find in someone
Such tender loving ways
And just like everybody sings
When the sunshine makes them high
I sing this gentle love song
From a flower to a butterfly
From a flower
Why do we waste our lives
Why do we stay asleep
So many confused words
So many total disasters there are
We all try to change the world
But change has to come from ourselves
So much ignored advice
So many drowned and wasting away
Everybody wants to be free
But before this can be
You've got to learn, learn how to see
Just from what it is that you want to be free
Why do we waste our lives
Wy do we stay asleep
So many confused words
Spent an awful lot of time making tunes and making rhymes
Things that other people do, yeah
From this heap of words and rhyme
I never really gave much time to something just for you, yeah
Oh gemini child you know I love you
I don't really have to tell you
Cause you know damn well that I do
Anyway it's not so much what I say as
What I do for you girl
So here's a song that I thought of long ago
That really comes from you, yeah
Gemini child, you make life come alive
Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you
And I do gemini child, you make life come alive
Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you
And I do oh gemini child you know I love you
I don't really have to tell you
Does the world seem good to you?
Does the music get to you?
Does the wisdom of your heart
Show you how to play your part?
All my blond and twilight dreams;
All those strangled future schemes;
All those glasses drained of wines,
All this crazy gift of time.
You, dear sister, kiss of mine
Can you cope with all this time,
With your mystic all awry
Feeling small beneath the sky.
All my blond, etc.
Happy birthday to you all
I hope you really have ball.
And when you're walking up the road,
I hope you finally explode!
Goodbye, everybody
Now it's time to go.
I guess I'm feeling old today
I can't get in the mood to play
Oh no feeling low
And things have got to change, oh yeah
'Cause there's no point and there's no use
In that tired old excuse of blaming it all on love
Can't rely on anyone
To show me how to have my fun
But me and now I see clearer than before
And more that it's a fool who lives too small
Beats his head against the wall
Yeah, blaming it all on love
Looking at the world outside
I sometimes have to run and hide away
When I should stay and join in with the dance, oh yeah
'Cause it's a crime and a disgrace
When I think of the time I waste
Blaming it all on love, sweet love
Blaming it all on love, sweet love
I don't understand anymore
As I grow older
Nothing seems to be clearer
Than before, um hum
Old shoulders
Become cold shoulders
Nothing left to dream on
We're all kept in fear
We're afraid to take
Too many chances
We must keep in step
But there are just too many
Different dances
And those old shoulders
Become cold shoulders
Have you seen miss clarietta
Riding round on her lambretta
On the mountainside
Looking out for friendly faces
Peering out of mountain places
Waiting for a ride
She's the queen of mountain magic, everybody knows
And late at night she sings with gentleness
Becoming to a rose
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
Vou cannot lose today
If you meet her in the moonlight
Don't be shy and don't be uptight
She might disappear
If she thinks you want to get her
Stop her, riding her lambretta
She won't let you near
She s the queen of mountain flowers
You can love them too
But if you pick her lovely flowers
How can they grow for you
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
You cannot lose today
Two, three, four,
Sitting on the beach like clarence in wonderland
I had a dream and I know you will understand
Riding up the beach, it only took a moment
Along came a lady looking for amusement
She came up to me and everything was smiling
And then she said something, it sounded like a violin
Let's go to my chateau, we could have a good time
Drinking lots of sky wine
Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon
We're gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon
There's no doubt about it
Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon
We're gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon
Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon in june and this tune
Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching.
Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to.
Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes
Selling second-hand tobaccos
Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected
But baby's on fire!
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperatures rising
Couldn't get to sleep last night
Missing you so much, it hurts
Missing your company
All the things you mean to me, girl
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home to me
Don't have very much to say
Never was so good with words
It's only that I'm missing you
Wishing I was kissing you now
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home to me
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home to me
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Animals went in two by two
Just 'cause someone told them to.
Now they're living in a zoo
Baby, ain't that just like me and you?
Ain't you just like the animals
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
People you ain't got no choice
No one listens to your voice
Ask no questions, get no harm
You know you shouldn't be happy on the farm;
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Animals waiting two by two
Just 'cause someone told them to.
Now they're living in a zoo
Baby, ain't that just like me and you?
Ain't you just like the animals
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
Everything you do, is true
As long as you believe it;
And everything you say, is play,
And that's how you should treat it.
And everyone is high,
Until there's something makes them low;
That's when you should stay
That's not the time to go....
That's when you should stay,
Does the world seem good to you?
Does the music get to you?
Does the wisdom of your heart
Show you how to play your part?
All my blond and twilight dreams;
All those strangled future schemes;
All those glasses drained of wines,
All this crazy gift of time.
You, dear sister, kiss of mine
Can you cope with all this time,
With your mystic all awry
Feeling small beneath the sky.
All my blond, etc.
Happy birthday to you all
I hope you really have ball.
And when you're walking up the road,
I hope you finally explode!
Goodbye, everybody
Now it's time to go.
Watch her out there on display
Dancing in her sleepy way
While all her visions start to play
On the icicles of our decay.
Fading flowers in her hair
She's suffering from wear and tear
She lies in waterfalls of dreams
And never questions what it means.
And all along the desert shore
She wanders further evermore
The only thing that's left to try¡
She says to live I have to die.
She whispers sadly well I might
And holds herself so very tight
Then jumping from an unknown height
She merges with the liquid night.
Lovers wrap her mist in furs
And tell her what she has is hers
But when they take her by the hand
She slips back in the desert sand.
But what she leaves is made of glass
And lovers worship as they pass
Each one says - now she is mine
But all drink solitary wine.
There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands
And bloodstained pianos
Are played without hands
Such a promising music
Sweet whispers and dreams
From a travelling window,
The salesman who screamed.
Moonlight, saturday night
It's now or never
Oh play stormy weather,
For me, for me.
I lived in the flower shop
Called "love is so sweet!"
And I get all my kicks
From the customers' feet.
Well, I'm just a stranger,
None stranger than i.
My head in the quicksand
My feet in the sky.
I was carefully crazy
When playing the game.
'cause business is business
And I'm not to blame.
Climb on my back
It's a wet afternoon ;
A bottle of booze,
A bit of a tune to sing;
Goodbye, everything;
Falling in love again, I never wanted to
But what am I to do, I can't help it
Love's always been my game, play it how I may
I was made that way, I can't help it
Girls flutter to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I am not to blame
Falling in love again, I never wanted to
Well day by day
And night by night
Wanna learn how to love you babe
Till I get it right
Yeah day by day and night by night
Come on and join the dance
I t goes round and round
Until the things you've lost
Become the things you've found
Day by day and night by night
Now piece by piece
And bit by bit
I can see the target
I've got to try to hit
Piece by piece and bit by bit.
I tell you sweet singing sister
Gonna love you till I'm blistered and blue
Cos you're making what I'm shaking
Harder than the big bamboo
But although I'm digging singing babe
I really have to sing it with you
Sing it day by day
Tonight I'm full of doubts and fears
Looks like another night of tears
You're not here so I can't turn to you
Now I know what needing
Someone really means
Yes I do and I need you
It's so hard when you're not here
I believe but I still fear
It's so hard not knowing where you are
Now I know what missing
Someone really means
Yes I do and I miss you
Still don't know just where you are
Distances are all too far
Are you well or are you crying too?
Now I know what loving
Someone really means
White is the colour of night
When there's nobody there,
And you sit in your chair,
Getting drunk on despair.
Red is the colour it's said
That can drive you insane
With pleasure or pain...
It depends on your head.
Brown is the colour of skin
That I'd like to be in,
'cause it doesn't feel right
To be coloured so white.
Blue is the colour of sky
And I won't even try
To explain how or why,
I'll just show you the sky
Farewell again please come back someday
It¡¯s getting harder every time I have to say
goodbye
Oh fare you well
So many feelings I know we share
Like being here and wanting to be there
And when you're asked where that is you
Say you don't know
It s just somewhere else and you have to go
So you go
You always go, where do you go
So many choices you have to run
Because when life is made too easy
It s much harder to simply have fun
Now you¡¯re always on the run
You panic when someone tries to unfold you
Scream for the dream that seems to hold you
You want to give love but only on condition
That it¡¯s on your terms and that position is lonely
This I know
Don't get me wrong
I'm not pushing you down
Or trying to change your mind
Your problems are my problems too
And I'm talking just as much to myself
As I am to you
Farewell again please come back someday
It¡¯s getting harder every time
I have to say goodbye
Fare You Well
Fare You Well
Fare You Well
This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here
I've got to try and tell;
It's dark and light at the very same time,
The water sometimes seems like wine.
I learned some information way down here
That might fill your heart and soul with fear;
But don't you worry, no don't be afraid ...
I'm not in the magical mystery trade.
My imagination begins to purr
As things don't happen, they just occur.
Softly crackling electrical smell,
There's something burning at the bottom of this well.
Sitting here alone I just have to laugh
I see all the universe as a comfortable bath;
I drown my body so my mind is free
To indulge in pleasurable fantasies.
There's something strange going on down here ..
A sickening implosion of mistrust and fear.
A vast corruption that's about to boil
A mixture of greed and the smell of oil.
This is a song from the bottom of a well
I didn't move here, I just fell.
But I'm not complaining, I don't even care
She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
She places the light on a chair by the window
Says a prayer while the wind blows
And then in her bed clothes she hides
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from it's clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
Who will you dream of tonight?
She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
Then she unwraps the parcel
And discovers a castle inside
The draw bridge is open
And a voice from the water
Says ¡°welcome my daughter'
"we've all been expecting you to come"
She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from it's clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
It¡¯s late in the evening
And the weather is cold
I'm beginning to miss you
But that story¡¯s so old
I know I've been knocking
My head on the wall
And I must have been crazy
To leave
Oh yeah, yeah
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Sometimes I'm burning
With a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
And all those musical ladies
And the crazed young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? 0h no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Everything you do is true as long as you believe it
And everything you say is play and that's how you should treat it
And everyone is high until there's something makes them low
That's when you should stay, that's not the time to go
No, no, no, no, no, no
That's when you should stay and let your love just flow
Lady lady won't you come here quick
This whisky and wine is making me sick
I want you now and I don't t care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Ask me a question and I'll tell you a lie
Ask me another, I'll spit in your eye
Don't like to leave you but I know I can't stay
So just keep lovin' in your butterfly way
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Too much and too many things on my mind
Can't make a story of things I can't find
Rock and roll music playin' in my head
Gonna keep on dancin' till I drop down dead
It could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Lady lady won't you come here quick
Cause these evil drugs are makin' me sick
I want you now and I don't care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical margaret
You know you're so high above
You fill my head with music
My heart with love
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical margaret....
Living in the city seems
To fill me with trepidation
Fills me with trepidation inside
Too much big business
And too little celebration
Too little celebration indeed
So let?s raise our voices
And sing for our lives
Sing for our life
Let?s raise our voices
Drink for our lives
Drink for your life my friends
My friends, my friends, my friends
Too many reassuring lies
To lullaby the population
Lullaby the population to sleep
Too much big business
Too little celebration
After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking out nowhere special to go
I heard someone singing in a voice so sad
This is what I heard her singing
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes"
I walked up to her, took her by the hand
I said, "Sad lady, yes I understand
And I will stay with you if you want me to
And we can sing this song together"
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes"
After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking home somewhere special to go
Our love grows stronger as time goes by
But we can still remember singing
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes"
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
Woke up this morning, I went out on the street
Sniffed a few flowers then I went back to sleep
My head was cloudy but the sky was blue
And I didn't feel lonely till I thought of you
Later that evening I knocked on your door
Asked how you're feeling, you said you weren't sure
Took off your costume and you lay on the bed
And I came down beside you with the moon in my head
I whispered nothing sweetly in your ear
I played the music that you like to hear
I held you tightly but you slipped right through
And I was left holding someone but I didn?t know who
Maybe I'm crazy and I'm lost in a dream
Brothers and sisters you know what I mean
You leave things open and get lost in the space
A rum-lime honey sing a magical tune
Found her underneath the Caribbean Moon
Wind is blowin' in the coconut tree
Blowin' the moonlight over you and me
Hey Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon shine all night
Calypso singer singin' in the sun
Sing about the rivers of Babylon
Rasta music, Caribbean Sea
Come on everybody sing the tune with me
Hey Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon shine all night
When I sing this song it makes me feel so glad
It was very musical, the love we had
Oh Martha, Martha let me sing to you
Take your partners for the dance
Quick before you miss the chance
Make your loving while you can
Or she'll find another man who will
Losing someone makes you sad
Makes you feel that life is bad
So sad, drives you mad
Once upon a time there was
So there is still
Loving of a kind
That rang here
Until doors began to close
And love was left screaming
When life was diagnosed
By the doctors of dreaming
La la la etc
(voice) 'and now , ladies and gentlemen,
There's just time to grab the nearest
I take life
My knife
Cuts deep
Brings sleep
Watch out for doctor dream
I'll fill your skies with promise that you'll fly
And then I'll wake you up again
But soon I will return to feed on you
Watch out for doctor dream
Singing a song in the morning
Singing it again at night
1 don't even know what 1'm singin' about
But it makes me feel I feel alright
Yeah yeah
It's late in the evening
And the weather is cold
I'm beginning to miss you
But that story's so old
I know I've been knocking
My head on the wall
And I must have been crazy
To leave
Oh yeah, yeah
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Sometimes I'm burning
With a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine

And all those musical ladies
And the crazed young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? 0h no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
My oh my oh my
Do you really have to cry?
Crying like a summer rain
Lady let me ease your pain.
Why oh why oh why
Don't you spread your winds and fly?
Flying like an autumn wind
Lady did you lose a friend?
Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Maybe what you've lost you've found.
Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Hey babe, you?re making my wheels start turning
Loving but I'm still learning to
Hey babe, nothing to say but words
And I could just play with words all day
Never knew how to write a love song
Always seemed to get the words wrong
Always trying to say what can't be said
Hey babe, you're making my wheels start turning
Loving but I'm still learning to
Never knew how to write a love song
Always seemed to get the words wrong
Always trying to say what can?t be said
Hey babe, I've nothing to say but words
You shine a light in my darkness
I guess you showed me the way
A chance for love to fly again
A chance for come what may
You brought along the colors
When life was turning, turning gray
You opened up your paint box
And painted the blues away
But you're far away, I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
Feel this way, I?ve got to be with you
But you're far away, I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
Feel this way, got to be with you
You to me are special
Can't find the words to say
Only that I miss you
Miss you in every way
But you're far away, I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
Feel this way, I've got to be with you
But you're far away and I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
A lot of things can happen
When you're walking down the street
But it never fails to amaze me
When people that I meet
Say, well I'll see you later..
I just answer how?
How will you see me later
When you can't see me now?
Today, the town seems like a tomb;
Everybody's locked up in his room;
Making love, or taking love--who cares?
If you take a walk out in the street,
Chances are there's someone that you'll meet.
If it's someone you know
You'll say hello, and good-bye.
Today's the very first day of the spring;
A little girl's playing on her swing.
She doesn't know that a brand new show begins.
Now you come and tell me that you're sad;
But you never talk. about it when you're glad;
You criticise, and you shut your eyes...
See how she smiles
Like an affectionate child
Do not disturb do not do anything wild
Sweetly she dreams of love as a rainbowed
High on my
I won't disturb her while dreaming I'll only try
Hour by hour and minute by minute alone
The queen of our dreams is feted and waited upon
5he's the blonde and blue eyed happiness all
Come true
So sing out your song brother
When the angostura runs a little low
And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow
And time is rushing by, but it seems slow
Just live dangerously once before you go
If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake
He'll assume the reputation of a fake
Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong
And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake
But who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shale with a snake?
I think I ought to go to bed
It's getting dark inside my head
I've been working now, all night long,
Trying to find that impossible song.
I think I ought to go to bed, and call it a day.
I've got my poet's license
So, I'm sending you this poesy;
But, don't expect no string quartet,
Or anything so cosy,
I'm so tired
Think I ought to go to bed;
I'm so tired
I'm losing contact with my head;
I'm so tired
I've been working now, all night long,
Trying to chase that impossible song
I think I ought to go to bed, and call it a day.
I've got my poet's license
So, I'm sending you this poesy;
But, don't expect no string quartet,
Or anything so cosy,
I'm so tired
Think I ought to go to bed;
I'm so tired
I'm losing contact with my head;
I'm so tired
I've been up here all night long,
Trying to find that impossible song
Another night and I can't sleep
I need to cry but I can't weep
Feeling that I've lost control
Where's my spirit, where's my very soul?
What's the future? There's no cheer
Feeling too much doubt and fear
I hide and run, I run and hide
I just can't face the world outside my dreaming
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Love is what pulls us through
It's so good when you're by my side
No longer need to run and hide
And when I'm dancing, singing along
Nothing seems to be so right or wrong
Don't you worry, don't you sigh
It's not on you that I rely
You sing love, I sing along
Celebration in this song for you
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Love is what pulls us through
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Floating on moonlight
With my head on your knee;
But, once again, babe
I'm thinking about me.
And, though we're feeling close
And touching, too;
You have to admit, babe,
You're thinking about you.
And, where do the stars end
If I'm here all alone?
And why am I feeling
So far from home?
Spoonful of moonlight
A bottle of wine
Just look at all those stars
You're gonna have a good time.
Out there in the darkness
With the wolf and the owl;
Oh, what does it matter
If you scream or you howl?
And, where do the stars end
If I'm here all alone?
And why am I feeling
So far from home?
Love is that stranger
Who comes knocking at your door.
Gives you a sweet taste
Leaves you howling for more.
You get that taste
You've got to take it;
But when you want more
(and you will)
You're gonna have to make it.
And, where do the stars end
If I'm here all alone?
And why am I feeling
An oyster was a'travelling
Along the ocean road;
He'd been some time preparing,
And now he'd left the fold.
He was sick of being oysterized,
And he wanted to explode, to explode.
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.
He saw a pretty flying fish
And said if I could have one wish
I'd change into a flying fish,
And then I would be happy, yes I would.
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.
The flying fish came down to see
Just who had made this plea;
And seeing the poor oyster,
Said this cannot be.
An oyster has to stay inside,
And a flying fish must flee, all the time.
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.
As the oyster turned to go away,
The flying fish was heard to say,
"if I could find a place to stay,
I know I would be happy, yes I would."
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
Where do I go from here, and is it far?
Why was I born with a wish to touch a star?
Why can't I leave things alone, and as they are?
Ooh, baby, can you take the pain,
I'm hurting you once again;
I know you think I'm insane (maybe I am)
Sometimes I'm bad to you, baby sometimes I'm mean.
I'm not malicious, but I don't want to live in a dream;
I only push when I think we should change the scene.
Know what I mean?
I know I'm making you sad
My desperation is bad
Trying to find what I had, but it's gone
Ooh, baby, can you take the pain,
I'm hurting you once again;
I know you think I'm insane (maybe I am)
Who am i, who am i, baby tell me who are you?
Are you adventurous, and think of what we've got to do;
It's really scary what other people's rules can do to you..
I know I'm causing you pain,
Wish I knew how to explain;
I'm looking 'round madly
For something to find
That might give se a front
To put something, something behind.
Just bouncing this ball
Up and down the hall
But it's full of best wishes
And suffocating fishes, and all.
So, let's drink some wine
And have a good time.
But if you really want to come through
Let the good time, good time have you.
It's what you've got to do.
You said it was foolish
For me to be sad;
But I'm very hungry, and you..
You're very well fed,
You're such a fat lady.
And I'm talking to you
Just for something to do
'cause I'd much rather kiss you
But I know, I'm gonna miss you
Again and again, I know I'm gonna miss you.
So, let's drink some wine, etc.
I sing to the island
That sings in your head
'cause I know you'd much rather be there
Be there instead.
I know you'd rather be there...
But you won't find the answer
Even when the wind blows;
'cause the answer, my friend
Is in front..
Right there in front of your nose
Everybody knows, it's their nose.
Some people seem to walk on water
Some people just got it made
And never see themselves completely
Never think there's any other way
But you know
It's only a show
And you reap what you sow
In your own way
Some people really need attention
Just see what they wanna see
Never more than their reflection
In someone else's fantasy
But they know
It's only a show
And they reap what they sow
In their own way
A pretty face will find a place
It's an easy place to be
You're not allowed to change the picture
Picture people wanna see
But you know
You're only a show
And you'll reap what you sow
As the doors all close
And the wind blows rows
And the moonlight flows
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere.
As the stars collide
And the horsemen glide
And my mind just slides
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere.
And the streams stream streams
And my dreams dream dreams
And the question screams
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere.
As the dawn warm forms
On the well-kept lawns
Of the pawns that swarm
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere.
And the song returns
To a heart that yearns
For a flame that burns
It catches fire at midnight
It leaves the room for doubt
But every thing's so well defined
There's only one way out
And all the girls are on tonight
The colored wheels all spin
You're more aware than ever before
You need a prize to win
And all the funfair's will have one
That is the usual theme
No secret Jack in this box
To help the pain within
Quiet country roads and trees
Birds singing from a cage
You understand you just lost one
You step outside your rage
And what's left to believe in
The children in the lake?
I didn't see them go under
Let's try another take
Pass me the bottle, baby
One day you'll understand
We almost make the same mistakes
And hold each other's hands
Take this particular shade of gray
Just for a change I shout
There's nothing in this fairground
That couldn't be left out
There isn't much left to show you
Maybe the tunnel of love
Who knows we'll be there forever
Two goes into four
Two times no more
Two will make four
Blue goes into green
Mostly unseen
ßlue becomes green
Dreams take me so far
Life is the star
Trapped in my jar
Follow the wind
Open your heart
Then you may start
To make it
Dead words scattered round the room like dust
Daggers and knives that have started to rust
One more battle fought in the name of love.
Tears and blood splattered over the wall
Broken bits and pieces up and down the hall
Take 'em up to bed,
And stick 'em all together again.
That's what you get for following dreams
Never turn out how they should it seems
That what you get for losing yourself
That's what you get, babe.
That's what you get, babe.
That's what you get, babe.
A bottle of wine, dinner for two
You know me better, I'm learning 'bout you
Two blue candles burn with the flame of love
. one day soon will come a shake up time
But, baby tonight, loving you feels fine;
I hold yours, and you hold mine, it's warm again.
That's what you get for loving this way;
Say it loud when there's something to say;
That's what you get for taking a chance
That's what you get, babe.
You give your heart away
And most of your time
Sign away your freedom
On some dotted line
Stick to the rules,
You're guaranteed peace of mind, babe....
Believe it, or leave it,
You do as you please.
There's no such thing as guarantees
Listen to me, lovely;
Shake our relations, hip;
You make such sweet wine
I want to take a sip.
Take me to tahiti
Take me on your plane;
When I reach tahiti,
I'll understand the game.
Eat your crazy banana
Disappear from sight;
I'll be right behind you,
Waiting for a bite.
Take me to tahiti.
I want to change my plane
If I don't reach tahiti
I'm the only one to blame.
Let's go dancing in darkness
They say it's really wild.
It's called the bright fandango,
Just ask any child.
They'll take you to tahiti
They seem to have the style.
Take me to tahiti.
I want to change my plane
If I don't reach tahiti
I'm the only one to blame
I've been up all night
With a kind of light
Burning in my brain
The flames is cold freezing
But it takes away my pain
I don't feel any pain
No, I don't feel any pain
Just sit here listening
To the rain tonight
No, no, no, you
Sweet deceiver, you
Though it?s cold the pain is bright
Clearer vision through the night
If helps me see that it?s alright with me
You sweet deceiver you
You sweet deceiver you
Oh no, no, no, oh no, no
You sweet deceiver you
Though it's cold, its pain is bright
Clearer vision through the night
And it helps me see then it?s alright with me
I've been up all night with a kind of light
Burning in my brain
I don't feel any pain
No, I don't feel any pain
I know it?s coming back
Swell, they call me the super salesman
'cause selling is all I do.
I've got an endless stash
Of expensive trash
I want to sell to you--
'cause I'm a super salesman
Super super salesman;
I'm a super salesman,
That's what I am!
You can tell I'm a genuine person
From my haircut to my shoes.
Don't worry about your money, it's guaranteed..
Guaranteed to lose!
I'm a super salesman, etc.
But you'll be doing yourself a favour
And you know that I'm sincere;
I've got a beautiful rap, to sell this crap
It's music to the ears.
Now listen to me:
Sell, sell.
I've got things to save you money
I've got things to save you time;
So you can use the time
To earn the cash
To buy this trash of mine
I'm a super salesman, etc.
Yes I'm the universal salesman
You can find me anywhere;
Take a good look inside of yourself
You'll find a salesman there.
And you're the super salesman,
Super super salesman;
You're the super salesman,
That's what you are.
Sell yourself, it's later than you think;
Sell yourself, it's later than you think;
Super salesman,
Super super salesman, etc.
Radio's playing the blues
Somebody's making the news
And I'm rolling along
In the way that I do saying
I don't depend on you.
Hearing the words that you say
Watching you walking away
Telling myself I'm just feeling blue and
I don't depend on you.
Now you're over there
All alone in your chair
While I'm over here drinking wine
And I'm asking the sky
Won't you please tell me why
That woman could never be mine.
It's getting late by now
I've got to keep moving somehow
Telling myself I'm just feeling blue and
I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, "we don't serve strangers
In blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and
We don't give way--
We have to think about what the people might say..
Uh, you know what I mean..."
I said, "sure, man"
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,
And I offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .
He said, "my oh my, I have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong;
I don't make the rules
I just get what I take
And I guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
Cause I'm just working for the company."
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,
And said, "i think I'll pick my travelling bag.
I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the boss's bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and I've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much."
"you know, I feel like a new man
Yes I do, I don't know why;
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
It's a beautiful day
I think I'll be on my way (right away)
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here
Yes, I am - bye, bye.
That's the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Nothing positive can come out of this
Said madame butterfly with her last kiss;
And what you never had, you won't really miss
And nothing really matters, no not even this.
Alright, I said, I know
All things must change;
And what was familiar now seems strange, yeah
. back on the streets, I move from town to town
But I don't know where, or why I go..
Where is high, where is low;
Where is up, and where is down;
I just don't know, I just don't know.
I wish I could fall
Wish I could fall, fall in love;
But i'm, I'm not at all
On a railway train to anywhere,
Something happened finally.
The driver said he saw no station
And we were riding aimlessly.
The train was filled with sleeping passengers,
Going nowhere for the ride;
Spoken whispers filled the carriages
No one cared to look outside.
Conversation aimed at anyone
Bouncing questions off the wall;
Except for two excited children.
Burning caterpillars in the hall.
All at once, I got quite frightened..
Standing up, I gave a shout!
"i see a station just in front of me ,
Stop this train and let me out!"
The driver smiled and shook his head for me,
"this train don't stop for anyone.
And, if you want to leave this railway line,
You'll have to jump off on your own.
Someone came and gave me sandwiches,
Saying that I looked unwell.
He took my pulse and he gave it back to me,
And then he hit me with his bell.
He made a speech to all the passengers,
He said "i've been a place today;
And anyone who'd care to come with me..
Step outside and walk this way."
Inside the seats were warm and comfortable,
Outside the train was wild and strange.
I said, "yes, sir, I'd like to come with you,
It's really time I made a change."
I left my seat and walked up front with him,
And he began to push the door.
I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me..
Honey, I just hate
The way that you treat me, now
What we had is gone, I know,
But even so....
Now it's asking too much
When I want to talk to you;
After all the talking
You and I been through
All that's left are dreams
Where it still comes true
And I'm stepping out one,
Stepping out, two
Stepping out of my mind,
Still stepping out with you
I'm stepping out one,
Stepping out, two
Stepping out of my mind,
Still stepping out with you
There's no point, I know
Talkin' 'bout what we used to have
What used to be
Seems so long ago
You still mean a lot to me.
Ooh, I've tried
Maybe too many times
To find a place
But you took something with you
That's impossible to replace.
And I'm lost in a dream
Without time or space.
I'm stepping out, one, etc.
I just can't stand, etc.
And I'm left with dreams
What can I give you, girl
Something that you've never had
Something that'll make you glad...
In your heart.
What can I show you, girl
Something that you've never seen
Yeah, somewhere that you've never been...
Never been before.
What can I tell you
Something that you've never heard;
Can I find a special word
To say what I mean.
And, I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are,
'cause I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are.
What can I give you, girl,
I can give my share of time;
That's the only thing that's mine
To give.
What can I show you, girl,
I can show you all I see
And if you'll believe in me
I won't let you down.
What can I tell you,
I can tell you anything;
But I know I'd rather sing
Rather sing the song.
And, I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are,
'cause I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
What do you know about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more
What do you care about bluffing people?
Does it make you want to try more?
We know what you mean
We know what you've seen
We understand
What do you care about bluffing people
Throwing sparrows from the treetops
What do you care about nothing people?
When you're waiting at the bus stop
I'm very glad to hear that
We understand the sky will be visible soon
We understand the sky will be visible soon
Soon soon soon you will be obliged to try
Soon soon soon to reach your moon and die
What do you care about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more
What do you care about nothing people?
And does it make you want to try more?
It's very nice to know
Everybody sing now
It's getting crazier in every way;
We've got the same kind of idiots as yesterday.
They were chosen by more idiots
They're one of a kind
They'll steal your life,
But they'll never get mine
Cause I'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!
I'm sick and tired of spending all of my years
Living under the thumbs of those old racketeers.
Power and money - more than life everytime.
They can use your life,
But they'll never get mine.
'cause I'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!
Dead people like to kill..
It's their one remaining thrill.
It's getting crazier in every way;
We've got the same kind of idiots as yesterday
. they were chosen by more idiots
They're one of a kind
They'll steal your life,
But they'll never get mine
'cause I'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!
Dead people like to kill..
People say that they want to be free
They look at him and they look at me
But it's only themselves they're wanting to see
And everybody knows about it
We talk all night and we're all turned on
We believe we heard him singing his song
Telling us all there was work to be done
And everyone sung a chorus of I am the walrus
Yes disneyland has come to town
Everyone's dressed and standing around
Alice is wearing her sexiest gown
But she doesn't want you to look at her
Beautiful people are queuing to drown
They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown
But he's up at the other end of town
Trying to talk to the mirror
The scientist talks and he knows what he means
He sits on the floor and has beautiful dreams
Then he gets brought down by a woman who screams
But he knows it's only a record¡ oh yes it is
His brave new girl stops feeding the ants
And looks at him with her septic pants
She still knows how to make him dance
And forget about emancipation¡ it's just imagination
And you and I we sit and hum
We know something's got to come
And get us off our endless bum
There's probably one in the bathroom
Or even in the hall
I don't know anymore than you do
You run run run, you get nowhere
Oh, take it easy, oh, take it easy
A long time gone, babe, I still care
It isn't easy, it isn't easy
I still feel that it's true
Still in love with you
You push, you pull but that's not fair
Oh, take it easy, oh, take it easy
You're not here, so you must be there
It isn't easy, it isn't easy
I still feel that it's true
Still in love with you
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You push, you pull but that's not fair
Oh, take it easy, take it easy
You're not here, babe, you must be there
It isn't easy, it isn't easy
I still feel that it's true
Still in love with you
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
You're running, you're running
You're running away
There's nothing new around the sun
Everything you think of has been done;
All been done before your time;
Sometime or another
By someone and his brother, yeah...
From the poison comes the flower
Butterfly for just an hour;
But it burns ecstatic fire,
The kind of life we all desire..
I'm an orible orange
Covered in chemical spray.
I'm absolutely nasty
That's why I have to say
That I'm an orible orange
(he's an orible orange)
I'm an orible orange
(he's an orible orange)
I'm an orible orange
(he's an orible orange)
And you shouldn't eat me.
I'm a soggy white sandwich
Made from bleached white bread.
I'm absolutely nutrition-less and useless,
That's why it has to be said
That I'm a soggy white sandwich
(he's a soggy white sandwich), etc.
I'm a chemical kipper,
Coloured with poisonous red dye.
I wish I were a beautiful bloater
But next to a pat of rancid butter I lie.
I'm a chemical kipper, etc.
I'm a lamentable lentil
Lamentablentablentablentable lentil.
I'm a lamentable lentil, etc...
I'm a miserable maggot,
I live in poisoned fruit.
I always have bad tummy aches,
And very often puke--blechgh!
I'm a miserable maggot
Such a miserable maggot.
Fruit ain't what it used to be.
I'm a miserable maggot, etc...
I'm an unhappy apple
Covered in chemical dust
I'm absolutely toxic
So I warn you all I must
I'm an unhappy apple, etc.
What do you do when it's all behind you
Everyday something else reminds you
When the times were sweet, wings on your feet
And bells on your toes, only heaven knows
What do you do when you've lost the feeling
Nowhere to go, you've reached the ceiling
Back down on the floor, no window, no door
Yeah, everything's closed and only heaven knows
Love is a treat, a magical feat
Illusion or for real
You're never quite sure if it's true what you feel
Or something that you felt before
What do you do when you know you're losing?
Sit on your ass and let the blues in
Think of what you had and how it all went bad
You send her a rose and only heaven knows
Love is a treat, a magical feat
Illusion or for real
You're never quite sure if it's true what you feel
Or something that you've felt before
What do you do when it's all behind you
Everyday something else reminds you?
When the times were sweet, wings on your feet
And bells on your toes, only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
Whatever happened to mr cool
Somebody took him back to school
He thought he knew but he did not
Now his name is mr hot.
Oh mr hot, mr hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no
Whatever happened to know-it-all
Knew how to climb but not to fall
He had to fall from so high above
The only place deep enough was love.
Oh mr hot, mr hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no
Banana, banana
Sleep in between two beds is a fiddle
You're bound to fall through the hole in the middle
You want your cake and eat it too
One day the cake turn around and eat you
Oh mr hot, mr hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no
Whatever happened to mr cool
Somebody took him back to school
He thought he knew but he did not
Now they call him mr hot.
Nothing comes easy
You've got to put your money down
Never let your honey down
When shes on your side
You want love, they want houses
Better dig in your trousers
Put your money where your mouth is
Pull out that cash, from your stash
And then, pay through the nose
Buying buttons and bows
And never-ending clothes
Keep your love in style
Ooh, money, money, ooh, money, money
Where does it go?
Down in some bottomless ditch
Ooh, money, money, ooh money, money
Guess you all know
Your money goes back to the rich, la ti da
Your money goes back to the rich
There ain't no way around it
You can't joke, you can't tease her
When she wants a new freezer
It's a serious thing
And she knows you'll pay double
To avoid any trouble
She knows you can't stand to squabble
And you're bound to give in
So you pay, once again, through the nose
For a new quelque chose
And you throw in a rose
To give your love a thrill
Ooh, money, money, [unverified]
You get moonlight in the evening
Sunshine by day
That's all you get for nothing
You want more?
Miss Hanaga is a terrible flirt
She looks like sugar, she talks like dirt
Take off your trousers
You'll lose your shirt to Miss Hanaga
All the women call her slut
While all the men try to knock on her door
She's got something
She knows what it's called, Miss Hanaga
She's someone in between lover and wife
She's independent in love with life
She'll rub her rope
She'll show you her knife, Miss Hanaga
Some call her animal, some just sigh
They call it low and come back high
From their dreams
When they've been there to crown, oh, Miss Hanaga
The women hate her
The man who would dare
Men they are curious but never go near
No man has ever seen the trace of a tear on Miss Hanaga
Miss Hanaga is a wonderful flirt
She looks like sugar, she talks like dirt
Take off your trousers
Rock and roll !! rrrrrrrrrr!!
I'm here lying on my bed
Just trying to hold on to my head
But if you came in through the door
You'll find me crawling on the floor
Just looking for the things you threw away.
You're the one illusion
Causing my confusion
My dreams are yours to borrow
I know I'll get them back tomorrow
And I know your love has turned to wine
(such a shame)
Times are full of pumpkin people
They appear and they fade away
I'm just moonlight's lost disciple
Trying to bring your love my way
I presume your reason's rocking
Do not rise above your pocket
Will you be handsome, will you be rich
Or you're going to wind up in the ditch

If you wear this silver bonnet
I will sew my heart upon it
For this bonnet makes you seem
Like someone I met in a dream, a dream
I won't wear your silver bonnet
Not unless some gold's put on it
You can take your dreams back home
I have plenty of my own, my own
Tell me something distant sister
If I found my dream and kissed her
Would this vision of perfection
Turn into my own reflection
Who or what I am escapes me
Every changing minute shapes me
What I get is what I yearn for
Dreams are what I gladly burn for
In her cradle we have rocked her
Tended by the dreaming doctor
Now she waits in sleeping beauty
Take your partners for the dance
Quick before you miss the chance
Make your loving while you can
Or she'll find another man ... who will
Losing someone makes you sad,
Makes you think that life is bad
So sad ... drives you mad ...
Once upon a time there was, so there is still,
Loving of a kind that rhymed here until
Doors began to close and love was left screaming
You say you like my shirt
My shirt
You say you like my hat
My hat
Oh but you never say you like me
Or something nice like that
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
Who's the one with the grin on his face
Says he's gonna save the human race
He laughs a lot as he climbs to fame
What's his name
Guru banana
That's me and I'll show you the light
I've got the answers and they're all right
I'm divine and you can be the same
What's my name
Guru banana
Guru banana
Guru banana
Oh you rude banana
What's my name
Guru banana
Now gather round and hear my song
If you think your life is going wrong
Come to me and I'll take the blame
Just call my name
Guru banana
Grab your partners swing around
Dance along to my different sound
You think it's new but it's just the same
Now sock it to me once again guru banana. guru banana
Take us to nirvana you know you can you're our man
Whose the one with the grin on his face
Says he's gonna save the human race
You're gonna take us to nirvana
We hope you can
You're our man
Guru banana, guru banana
Take us to nirvana
You know you can
Grab your partners swing them round
Dance along to my different sound
I'm a guru
Goodnight, sleep tight
You're going to see who you want to see
In dreamland;
Goodnight, sleep tight
You're going to be who you want to be
In dreamland.
Blushing faces, crazy places,
Paper chases, human races
Magical.
Falling, flying, leaping, lying,
Splashing, crashing, life is flashing
Magical
You're in dreamland....
Goodnight, sleep tight
You're going to see who you are when
You're in dreamland.
Blushing faces, crazy places,
Paper chases, human races
Magical.
Falling, flying, leaping, lying,
Splashing, crashing, life is flashing
Magical
So I give my heart to you
though I can't be sure
you won't take it and break it
and hurt me
I've been hurt so many times before
We can play those games of love
like other people do
but that's not me or you
it's just everyone else
is all dreams and I want something new
And there are no guarantees
that can set your heart at ease
'cause no one ever knows
how the feeling comes and goes
when you're sure it's so strong
it can never go wrong
it'll always go on and
then suddenly it goes
Only brave hearts live their love
weak hearts hide in dreams
living lives in romance
leaving danger and chance
to the warriors of love
And there are no guarantees
that can set your heart at ease
'cause no one ever knows
how the feeling comes and goes
when you're sure it's so strong
it can never go wrong
it'll always go on and
then suddenly it's gone
So I give my heart to you
though I can't be sure
you won't take it and break it
and hurt me
She's got a feeling for the spring
I've got another song to sing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing
She's not a victim of despair
She's just a feeling in the air
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing
She sways, silently she sings
Her song gives my body wings
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Why do you still play with me? Treat me like a game
I don't need the pain, I've had enough
You say we should stay in touch, and you're there for me
But it's plain to see, you're somewhere else
Funny how the situation changes
Love can turn the best of friends into strangers
Why do you still lie to me? Why do you pretend?
Everything must end, just let me go
Funny how the situation changes
Love can turn the best of friends into strangers
Why do you still lie to me? Why do you pretend?
Everything must end, just let me go
Funny how the situation changes
Your love can turn the best of friends into strangers
Yeah, funny how the situation changes
This is a token of words unspoken to you
Honey, I'm feelin' reelin' and squealin' for you
Why don't you tell me
One way or another
That you'd rather be
Your father and mother.
This is a feeling from the ceiling of my dreams,
I get hung up, tied and strung up on your scene.
I'm something far away
It doesn't matter what I say.
You've got your simple plays
You're safely tucked away.
Are you happy? are you happy?
This is a feeling from the ceiling of my dreams,
I get hung up, tied and strung up on your scene.
I close my eyes on your soft guitar....
This is feelin'
This is squealin'
Farewell again please come back someday
It's getting harder every time I have to say
Goodbye
Oh fare you well
So many feelings I know we share
Like being here and wanting to be there
And when you're asked where that is you
Say you don't know
It s just somewhere else and you have to go
So you go
You always go, where do you go
So many choices you have to run
Because when life is made too easy
It s much harder to simply have fun
Now you're always on the run
You panic when someone tries to unfold you
Scream for the dream that seems to hold you
You want to give love but only on condition
That it's on your terms and that position is lonely
This I know
Don't get me wrong
I'm not pushing you down
Or trying to change your mind
Your problems are my problems too
And I'm talking just as much to myself
As I am to you
Farewell again please come back someday
It's getting harder every time
I have to say goodbye
Fare you well
Fare you well
Hey, mister, would you like my sister
Her name is juanita,
I think. you'd like to meet her.
She's a little bit risky,
Drinking always whiskey.
But she's really a tiger
Take you right inside her.
Hey, mister, got another sister
Her name is dolores
She likes pretty colores;
She's a little bit silly,
Eating always chili;
But she's very sexy,
Take her home in a taxi.
Hey, juanita, juanita banana
Hey, juanita, would you hold my banana;
I'd like it now, I don't mean manana.
Hey, brother, what about my mother
She's only just forty
She's especially naughty.
She knows a lot a tricks,
More than the younger chicks.
And if you don't like my mother,
Some people sent me a circular letter
Explaining how their ideas were better
And asking me to join their gang
They said they were select
So many people they reject
I read it carefully to give them a chance
Looked like instructions for a new kind of dance
With mystical innuendos
Most confusing
But quite amusing
So many different kinds of club to join
So many versions of the same old coin
Do what you like with your convictions
I believe them all
But if I don't t answer when you call
Guess I'll be up against that wall again and again
Here comes that postman again
Another invitation
Uh, this ones really cute
It says ¡°surrender or we shoot'
So I'm sending this salute
Cause I'm a member too of any circle
That belongs to you
Making a circle is just drawing a line
Around some space any time and place
Just add the details of your face
It's hallo sparrow paradoxical
Oh so auto tautological
Maybe vaguely ecological too, oo poop pee do
Home brewed, half nude terminology
Private, drive it yourself mythology
Everybody needs some ology now...
Here comes the same thing again and again
Oo ee here comes that postman again
With another invitation, this one's really cute
It says surrender or we shoot"
So I'm sending this salute
Champagne Cowboy Blues.
By Kevin Ayers.
Champagne, Getting high again,
Makes me think of you,
Sunshine and this crazy wine,
There is loving too,
I don't care how or why.
One thing that I think I've learned,
Loving must be free,
So much energy is burned in pointless jealousy,
I just want to sing for you,
Yes I do.
Champagne, Getting high again,
Makes me think of you,
Sunshine and this crazy wine,
There is loving too, somewhere,
I don't care how or why.
As long as I'm high, champagne, yeah.
Good-bye old horse,
Thank you for the use of your body,
Hope you had a good time,
You got a bit of use out of mine,
Champagne and valium - half-hearted kisses;
Lord, won't you tell me
What kind of breakfast this is.
God said, cool it, boy, you've sure got a nerve..
You've already had much more than you deserve.
Shut your mouth, and go home, boy.. .
Looks like I'm leaving, leaving again;
Same old ticket, babe, same old train.
No destination, but who ever knows
Just where it is that anyone goes..
Tell me where they all go to.
Oh, doctor, doctor, can you feel my pain?
Doctor said, "shit man, not you again!"
Just how many times do I have to explain:
There ain't no medicine
That'll take you back again
To where you were again.
To where you were, before, boy.
It's what you feel
It's not what you think
Can't taste no wine
If you don't drink.
You don't know how
And you sure don't know why.
You're just like the rest
And all you can do is try
Try to catch hold of that dream, boy....
Champagne and valium - half-hearted kisses;
Lord, won't you tell me
What kind of breakfast this is.
God said, cool it, boy, you've sure got a nerve..
You've already had much more than you deserve.
You're safe and you're warm
Got a break from the storm
And it's visiting time in the past
And you've just reached the part
Where you're losing your heart
And your spirit is leaving you fast
A then the storm blows a scream
And it crashes your dream
Like a fist through the curtain of glass
And there's a giant of darkness
Surrounds you with fright
And the only way out is to stand up and fight
And so you shout, scream
Give me back my dream
I need one to get through the day
If it's lost and if it's gone
I won't keep hanging on
And the storm can just blow me away
Blow me away
It's a long way till dawn
And you've got to get warm
'Cause you're shivering deeply inside
So you turn on the light
Try to burn up the night
But your spirit has run off to hide
There's nowhere to run
So you wait for the sun
Nowhere to run
You wait for the sun
Shout, scream
Give me back my dream
I need one to get through the day
If it's lost and if it's gone
I wont keep hanging on
And the storm can just blow me away
Blow me away
So shout, scream
Give me back my dream
I need one to get through the day
But if it's lost and if it's gone
I won't keep hanging on
The storm, just blow me away
Blow me away
Wait for the sun
Nowhere to run
Wait for the sun

about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees

blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

blue is the colour of all that i wear.
blue are the streets and all the trees are blue.

blue are the feelings that live inside me.

When it comes to discussing bananas,
I am moved to extravagant praise;
For the banana is firm and substantial,
And may be used in a number of ways.
With more presence than leeks or asparagus,
And more charm than the brusque bamboo;
The banana has style and a curious smile,
Perceptible only to few.
The banana is not a romantic,
In the popular sense of the thing;
Approach it without care or caution,
And you trip on it's slippery skin.
So be aware of the gallant banana,
When your tolerance seems to be thin;
And instead of the boot or the bullet,
Ballbearing blues
Ballbearing blues
I'm gonna sing you some red herring news
If you don't wear shoes
You'll have no shoes to lose
And that's the end of the news
