Arthur Stanley "Stan" Jefferson (16 June 1890 – 23 February 1965), known as Stan Laurel, was an English comic actor, writer and film director, famous as the first half of the comedy team Laurel and Hardy. His film acting career stretched between 1917 and 1951 and included a starring role in the Academy Award winning film The Music Box (1932). In 1961, Laurel was given a Lifetime Achievement Academy Award for his pioneering work in comedy. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Blvd.
Arthur Stanley Jefferson was born in his grandparents' house on 16 June 1890 at 3 Argyle Street, Ulverston, then in Lancashire. He had two brothers and a sister.
His parents, Arthur and Margaret ("Madge") Jefferson, were both active in the theatre and always very busy. In his early years, he spent much time living with his grandmother Sarah Metcalfe. Stan Jefferson attended school at King James I Grammar School, Bishop Auckland, County Durham and the King's School, Tynemouth, before moving with his parents to Glasgow, where he completed his education at Rutherglen Academy. His father managed Glasgow's Metropole Theatre where he began work. At the age of 16, with a natural affinity for the theatre, Jefferson gave his first professional performance on stage at the Panopticon in Glasgow.
[Bird Indian John]
Once upon a time
When I traveled to this land
No money in my pocket
No weapon in my hand
A new land full of secrets
Where once I feared to cross
I don't hide anymore
I found what I have lost
The seagulls in the sky
The music of the sea
They blend a mystic chant
To reach infinity
The rain fall in the woods
I stare at mother moon
My soul will meet you soon
Forever in deep blue
Into that black old ship I wondered: "Who am I?"
I realized, now I could find my mother land, I had my chance
So many miles away I crossed to find myself
But still I don't know why I was given a chance
I found my way back home when Iara took my life
The reason I won't find
In my dreams, I couldn't see
My way to light, my heart was blind
All my life was do or die
But I could learn that time washes away your past
So many miles away I crossed to lose my pride
I gave my life away and found my paradise
Sometimes you need to trust in destiny to rise
And reasons you will never find
In my dreams I couldn't see
My way to light, my heart was blind
I don't know what future holds
But I can wait for my time
You have been blessed by the miracle of nature
LIBERTY - SET ME FREE
IN THE RIVER I'M GOING TO DARKNESS
TO FIND MY WAY TO THE LIGHT
DON'T REGRET - FLAWS OF PAST
TAKE THE CHANCE TO RESTART
AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE... LIBERTY
All I have lived it seems to be only a dream
And now I found a reason to believe
Once I had my doubts, but I let my river flow
In my heart I believed - Now it's real!
I had my secrets but I couldn't save myself
Love is the key to find what you have lost in your life
You have been blessed by the miracle of nature
LIBERTY - SET ME FREE
IN THE RIVER I'M GOING TO DARKNESS
TO FIND MY WAY TO THE LIGHT
DON'T REGRET - FLAWS OF PAST
TAKE THE CHANCE TO RESTART
AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE...
LIBERTY - SET ME FREE
IN THE RIVER I'M GOING TO DARKNESS
TO FIND MY WAY TO THE LIGHT
DON'T REGRET - FLAWS OF PAST
TAKE THE CHANCE TO RESTART
AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE... LIBERTY
Liberty - Set me free
To my paradise I go
Liberty - Set me free
The Lord is the Spirit
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, now
There is liberty
And the Spirit lives inside of me
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, now
There is liberty, there is liberty,
There is liberty
For freedom You set me free
And yes, I am free indeed
You rewrote my name
And shackled my shame
You opened my eyes to see
I am free
When the spirit of the world
Comes to kill me and enslave me I will say
There is liberty
For the chains of sin that once entangled me
Have been broken, now I'm singing 'cause I'm free
There is liberty, there is liberty,
There is liberty
For freedom You set me free
And yes, I am free indeed
You rewrote my name
And shackled my shame
You opened my eyes to see
I am free
The storm rolled in
It was dark in the land
As the Son of Man
Was crucified
You don't take his life
He laid it down
He paid the price
And shed His blood
It is done!
The veil is torn
He has won
And I am free
And I am free
And I am free
I am free
For freedom You set me free
And yes, I am free indeed
You rewrote my name
And shackled my shame
You opened my eyes to see
For freedom You set me free
And yes, I am free indeed
You rewrote my name
And shackled my shame
You opened my eyes to see
Don't want to vote for no real change.
The climate's bad, so I'll feel strange.
If it's the work, It's up to you.
You say there's nothing left to do.
Can't be afraid.
Can't be misled.
By the smoke they spit.
And the words they've said.
Don't want to explain myself to you.
What's in minds, corrupted too.
And if there's nothing left to say.
What you claim is on it's way.
Don't want to explain myself to you.
What's in minds, corrupted too.
You say there's nothing left to say.
Our freedom's time is in delay.
Can I have a plan without commercial interest.
Without government lies, or buckets of blood to hide.
Seeking freedom for the right, my peace of mind.
When the left comes up, can never get enough they've lied.
Some refrain from politics.
Pushing thier political points of view.
Some refrain from politics.
SO SHOULD YOU.
Can't be afraid.
You think that's bad.
Political fortune.
You think that's bad.
theres a bus stop with a heart on it

Liberty
Everything is allowed
Society
Sex gathered crowd
It tickles
You just want to play
It tickles
But soon it plays with you
You want to leave but you stay
I see you
You don't want to try
I love you
And I'm not good at good-byes
You say you're not bad
Why should I end up down there?
You say you're not bad
But I can only take what's mine
Say you care
Heads up
We may be human,
I am standing on hallow ground
But I wont stay, maybe
Im leaving tonight
And Im giving some warming to
To the thought of being through
But still I feel
This storm inside
On the brink of the night and morning
I go out not to think but to walk into the depths of dawn
And I hear the sounds from all the way down
Ringing through my mind round and round
And all it feel is this yearning inside
I guess its gonna be, a question of my sanity
I guess its gonna be, against the heart of liberty
And again the thought is pleasing
To hang out in a city lounge
And walk in brilliant weather
But still it wont calm me down
Since I hear
This voice inside
I want you, need you, all the time
I want you, need you, all the time
I guess its gonna be, a question of my sanity
I guess its gonna be, against the heart of liberty
I guess its gonna be, a question of my liberty
Love is the sun awakened in your life
that lights up all you see
Colour the night sweet breeze of liberty.
Love is the sun awakened in your life
that lights up all you see.
Happy sun shine in me
send someone to share my dreams.
Touch of love deeps the need
let me see you my liberty.
Blue is the new horizon
sang by the down around
that can not cease.
Love is a letter to infinity
Happy song sing in me
Touch of love deeps the need
let me hear you my liberty.
Love is the sun awakened in your life
that lights up all you see.
Colour the night sweet breeze of liberty.
Love is the sun awakened in your life
sweet breeze of liberty.
(Horizon... sang by the down around... that...
sweet breeze...
Love is the sun awakened in your life
sweet breeze of liberty.
There's a gentleness within
There's a kindness that she'll bring
Through her eyes of sadness lies
All her love for him
Imprisoned every day
A handsome price to pay
Even when she's done her time
She'll insist that life's just fine
Someday soon she'll make her move
Seize her chance to shine
It's all that she can do
To free herself from you
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should
Come and see him when she's gone
He's surprised but knows he's wrong
A simple case of do or die
And now sh'es cut and run
Your vision let you down
You almost let her drown
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should
Where has all her life blood gone
Wil you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Is it written that she should
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
It's her liberty ( that she wants you to see )
Where has all her life blood gone
Will you ever see
Even if she understood
Roll away the dawn,
Roll away the dawn and let me see,
The land of the free,
Has anything changed at all;
Sweet liberty,
Sweet liberty is in our hands
It's part of the plan,
Or is it a state of mind?
Horses and men,
Horses and men are on the field,
They didn't yield.
Many have fallen here;
Never forget
Never forget what they have done,
The time will come,
When it will change again.
Never forget!
We met as two total strangers
As many lovers often do
But who could have ever seen the danger
I didn't know I'd fall in love with you
You are this lonely picker's daydream
Like a wish that's wishing to come true
So Liberty just know I'm waiting
To share this love song with you
But do you think about me when you're lying in his bed
Won't you take the time to explain
Do you ever think you'd rather be with me instead
Or do you only think about me when it rains
We shared some special nights together
We said we'd watch the morning rise
But when the sun was all around us
Wasn't nothing I hadn't seen in your eyes
I try so hard to keep it hidden
But I am hurting deep inside
For every time I've seen you smile
There are two times that I have cried
Now and forever my love will be the same

See the mountains
With my lady
As the eagle
In the golden sky
Towers over purple majesty
In the mountains
Lives a freedom
There's a river
You can hear it say,
";From the delta flows the Liberty";
As the twilight of evening is broken
Lacy, silvery, starlight unfoldin'
'Round and 'round in a wave of emotion
Rings of love circles back to the spoken
Nothing equals a sea of devotion
Oooo, desire sets the wheels into motion
We all agree
We live to be free
They can't tell us
They can't tell us, how to be
We, we all agree
You individually
We the people
Share the power
Hold the key
I'm dreaming of a lifetime's freedom
That stretches all around the world
I'm talking about the biggest creature
I'm talking about the smallest bird
I'm singing out for liberation
I wanna move where I please
I wanna strike a note for freedom
Here's my song of liberty
Well all right
Here's my song
Are you doing all right
Here's my song
Are you ready to fight
To be free
Gonna fight for the right
Liberty
Well you're doing all right
I'm fighting for my children
As my father fought for me
Blood and sweat go hand in hand
Here's my song for liberty
Liberty
Well I'll fight for the right
Liberty
Are you doing all right
Liberty
Well I'll fight for your right
Liberty
I'm living on a crime of passion
A passion that will set me free
I'm ready now to really suffer
To do just as I please
I've got him on my side
I know he'll fight for me
I hear the bells a ringing
They ring for liberty
Liberty
Well can you hear
Liberty
Well can you see
Liberty
Well can you feel
Liberty
You're doing all right
Liberty
Liberty
Liberty
Liberty
I'm looking for a chain reaction
When people start to cheer
I feel my body shaking
As my cause begins to steer
To war's a big solution
To war's the final show
This time is right for action
I know it's time to go
Here's our song
Well you doing all right
Hold me strong
Are you ready to fight
To be free
Then fight for the right
Liberty
Well you're doing all right
All right
There's gonna be revolution
Everything will turn out fine
There's only one solution
Show that banner, show that sign
We're searching for our independence
It belongs to you and me
Sing a song of future freedom
The song of liberty
Liberty
Wanna hear you sing
Liberty
Come on and bring
Liberty
Only love
Liberty
Well sing your song
You're doing all right
All right
Liberty
Let me hear you sing
Liberty
Come on and bring
Liberty
And only love
Liberty
Well sing your song
Running the cameras on what they are waiting to say
Fixing the picture to who you will gather and pray
Some will protest and some will defy in the night
Some will cry for an ending to come, waiting to let them selves go
Liberty, dying to set yourselves free
In your hour of darkness your fighting for freedom to be
Liberty, hurtling towards victory, from the gutters and gate
Posts your children are coming to see liberty
Controlling you mind, supressing your thoughts and beliefs
Crushing your senses conormities all that is real
Sound the call in the morning you march to the sword
paying prices for what you have done, wanting to let yourself go
Liberty, dying to set yourselves free, standing one and for all
You must sacrifice all that you see.
Liberty, hurtling towards victory
Only god will convince them for one is for all to be free
Liberty yea
Sound the call in the morning you march to the sword
paying prices for what you have done, wanting to let yourself go
Liberty, dying to set yourselves free
In your hour of darkness your fighting for freedom to be
Liberty, hurtling towards victory, from the gutters and gate
[Chorus x2]
What's our frame of mind?
Master of mainstream disaster
And now that you know, no doubt you've been captured
Caught buy pay attention and we'll let your thougts roam free
The underground liberty
[Oracle]
A high chance you'll get damaged in this life challenge
Though it's hard to manage like scales that are off balance
Ay yo niggas are nuts riding my phallus
They're trying to compare my rap ballads
While they're spittin' hot shit 'cause they toss salad
My people travel upstream like salmon
Got water flows powerfull like a firehose
Connect it to your stereo and feel the Water World hysteria take you over
Don't matter if you're drunk or sober
Got you entranced like Indian dancing cobra's
Our melodies are solar so you can see the light
Our only claim is we're the brightest
Don't want to be the nicest lyricist
'Cause thruthfully words are primitive
You get amped when we jump start your party and make you chant
I'll enhance your motion with electric shocks ferocious
It's trance music hypnosis
We're moving crows like water in front of Moses
You're wet before you notice
This workout like Tae-Bo aerobics
With punch lines and drum kicks and all sets get flipped
High and low decibels hit and whole crews get split in half
And no doubht you know the math
[Chorus x2]
[Kimani]
You know the way the shit goes money for nothing and the chicks for free
But I swear sometimes when I be watching MTV
I'm catching visions of violence, sit in silence
For 120 minutes before I raised the black flag like Henry Rollins
Calling up to loveline "hello? Wel.."
I got a story to tell to do with they ky-gel
I speared Brittany in the back of a Caddy with 9 inches of meat
Talking on my cell phone to Puff Daddy at the Grammy's
Told him "Put me on the guestlist!"
Got backstage and hung Brandy with a rusty ass necklace
They went back for the street boys, I gut off the street noise
By breaking their necks on the floor like a B-boy
Then destroyed the whole program
Had a vision where the wizard was N'sync and I was Conan
I sliced 5 necks at the stem
Laced the mic with C-4 set to blow when Usher Raymond begin
Then stuck my Tim's in the white flabby ass of Marilyn Manson
Gave him a gat and had him bucking at Hanson
Now I'm phantom like the menace, whole crews get diminished
When I'm screaming out loud like No Limit
Present the best rap performance to me, R&B; vocal
Hard rock, classical, and country
They're all mine, I'm sort of like the greatest all time
You're sweating me more then Jennifer Lo's behind
While I'm here player hating on most
Grandiose MC's I be turning your bread to burnt toast
With John Blaze shit the type to amze with
I rap tight like Africans packed up in a slave ship
Hit me!
Going to California, gonna make it happen
Gonna be a big star and downtown gigolo
Fly out to Memphis, something good for my soul
Havis always knew just how and where to go (Come on!)
Little darling
I need some liberty in my soul
Let\'s make it happen
I\'m gonna try everything that I know
Little darling
I need some liberty in my soul
Let\'s make it happen
I wanna give you everything that I know (Oh yeah!)
Another misty morning, rock \'n\' roll Seattle
We always have a good time here so we give \'em more
Laid up in Bargo, sit and watch the sun go
Thinking how I\'m going to satisfy my libido (Do it!)
Little darling
I need some liberty in my soul
Let\'s make it happen
I\'m gonna try everything that I know
Little darling
I need some liberty in my soul
Let\'s make it happen
I wanna give you everything that I know
Doo doo doo doo...
I need some liberty...
(Come on)
I got bills to pay (Hungry)
Out the door to work out something
Now I\'m on my way (And fear every day)
Is getting harder lately in the jungle
Little darling
I need some liberty in my soul
Let\'s make it happen
I\'m gonna try everything that I know
Little darling
I need some liberty in my soul
Let\'s make it happen
I wanna give you everything that I know
I need some freedom in my soul
Come on and show me what you know
I need some liberty

The course my life is taking
Searching of my truth has brought me here
Facing things with confidence
That all will be okay
Past is gone, life goes on
Memories remain, I break the chain
Of misery and pain
Marching to a different drum
Shines my liberty
It's growing stronger every day
I feel it in me
Leading me to a different world
Freedom shows the way
It's there for you and me to find
It's heaven on earth
I'm standing here today and understand
There's no reason to hide anymore
So many things to see, so many things to gain
My life is not in vain
Marching to a different drum
Shines my liberty
It's growing stronger every day

Leading me to a different world
Freedom shows the way
It's there for you and me to find
It's heaven on earth
Marching to a different drum
Shines my liberty
It's growing stronger every day
I feel it in me
Leading me to a different world
Freedom shows the way
It's there for you and me to find
Plane lands and I look outside my window - what do I see?
a hot sun and a sandy beach yeah, I know - this is where I’m supposed to
Leave my problems in the plane, slip on my shades and I’m ok yeah yeah
Tank tops and flip flops walkin’ down the sidewalk - everywhere I go
everybody’s on their cell phone makin’ small talk - but I don’t wanna
know
what’s goin’ on out there, toss the phone and breathe the cool fresh air
(Chorus)
I’m gonna lay out by the ocean
gonna climb a palm tree
I wanna dance on the top of that mountain
like no one’s watchin’ me
I’m gonna be myself with nobody else there judgin’ me
They call it Liberty
Bare feet on the concrete yeah, that’s me - skippin’ through the sand
Funny how life seems so happy - with no predetermined plan
I gotta be somewhere, right here, right now, these moments are so rare
I would be alright if I never see another message on a screen
Verse:
In the times where darkness controls your mind
There is a greater force than you and me
Search your heart - in your soul you were meant to find
The answer to what you seek soon you will see!
Prechorus:
Our time has come - united as one
We will rise to the Land of the Sun!
Chorus:
Today we stand up and fight with metal by our side
On wings of steel we fly and return to paradise!
Forever you will be free - reach for the skies to see
United we stand; together we fight for truth and liberty!
Verse:
Long ago you swore to a way of life
A promise of yours to keep - forever in time
Now you wake to the sound of an ancient call
Await for the stars to send a glorious sign!

No need to hide, stand up and FIGHT!
In the darkness we'll show you the light!

Breaking the spell - time to fulfil
The oath that we once swore so long ago - long ago!
Chorus:
Today we stand up and fight with metal by our side
On wings of steel we fly and return to paradise
Forever you will be free - reach for the skies to see
The time has come, forever we ride always against our enemies
The night is falling, the stars will arise, nothing to afraid in the fight
For this land...
The Invaders I see, the ships made of steel
Beware of the forces, beware of the beast
There is no place to hide, the field seems a hell, fire is falling from skies
[bridge]
And now... we are living to fight, now... we fight four our rights
We left our homes to follow the light, mankind will always survive
The future we had seen in the hands of a time soon to over
[chorus]
Fly, and reach the skies, somewhere the sun will shine bright on you
For the liberty, liberty, liberty again we'll fight till the end
The cruelness of war we're carrying inside proud of our ancient legacy
Screaming for mercy, my victims will die, we must protect our land

Liberty wanted to come with me
She'd never been there before
She came close a few times
Now she needed some more
Liberty, let her man go
He didn't give her the stars
She stopped laying beside him
And stayed out late in the bars
Won't you come with me, Liberty?
Won't you come with me?
Liberty was drunk when she met me
I liked the look on her face
Then she took a punch for me
Her gloves were made out of lace
And Liberty came with me
To the places she wanted to go
Every night that she's with me
She always wanted more
Won't you come with me, Liberty
Won't you come with me?
Come with me, Liberty
Come with me, Liberty
You taste of freedom, freedom's your name
A woman out alone in the night
Too scared to run, too scared to fight
She knows that soon she must die
So she opens her arms to embrace the sky
But god has decreed her worse fate
The man, her body he will violate
Her death, when it comes she will bless
But now, through his pleasure, he is obsessed
Liberty, oh liberty
When oh when will I be free from
Liberty, sweet liberty
Beware the man who offers thee
Your liberty
See the frail old man, as he dies
His thoughts to vague to criticise
What has he done with his own poor life
Surrounded by glamour and bullshit hype
Or the raving madman, who that night will kill
A dozen people or more, just for the thrill
He will get off with a few years, no more
Three years later, standing at your door
Liberty, oh liberty
When oh when will I be free from
Liberty, sweet liberty Beware the man who offers thee
Your liberty, own liberty
I will take from you as you took from me
My liberty
We all should be free, but never will
Always surrounded by the rules
Which we make to help us live
But which in reality only serve
To keep us from what we truly want
Ignore the upper class sneer and the layman's taunt
So the next time the jaws of society bite
Just break out and exercise your right
Liberty, oh liberty
When oh when will I be free from
Liberty, sweet liberty
Beware the man who offers thee
Your liberty, own liberty
I will take from you as you took from me
Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walking to New Orleans, my oh my
Hey, now, bird, wouldn't you rather die
Than walk this world when you're born to fly?
If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I was a river I'd run uphill
If you call me you know I will
If you call me you know I will
Ooo, freedom, ooo, liberty
Ooo, leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home
Say what I mean and I don't give a damn
I do believe and I am who I am
Hey now mama come and take my hand
Whole lotta shakin' all over this land
If I was an eagle, I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
Or chop it down and you can't stop me
Chop it down and you can't stop me
Ooo, freedom, ooo, liberty
Ooo, leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home
Went to the well but the water was dry
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
The whole damned world looking back at me
If I was a bottle I'd spill for love
Sake of mercy I'd kill for love
If I was a liar, I'd lie for love
Sake of my baby, I'd die for love
Sake of my baby, I'd die for love
Ooo, freedom, ooo, liberty
Ooo, leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home
