A Case Of You
(Written by: Joni Mitchell)
Just before our love got lost
you said, "I am as constant as the northern star."
and I said, "Constantly in the darkness where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cotton coaster
in the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
In my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.
My blood my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
and she said, "Go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed"
My blood my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Alamo
Alamo,
Heard all about your fandango.
Banged on mah knees on your back door,
Only to wake you to blues on the way.
Blues on the way...
Blues on the way...
Adoo...
Embarcadere,
Figures you'll see me as older.
Twenty-three hours 'til the border.
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
Fast as I came...
Fast as I came...
Tears on my pillow,
Of course they're not mine.
Alter, that ought to make in a play.
Somebody, invent the telephone line.
I'll take my ehe... chances.
Oh... uhum...
Alamo,
Wish I could do what gold does.
Heard that the stars were in order.
God, you served out a hand
With two queen-o'-spades,
An' blues on the way.
Blues on the way...
Tears on my pillow,
Of course they're not mine.
Alter, to that ought to make in a play.
Somebody, just...
Somebody, invent the telephone line.
I'll take my hi... chance
Amazing Grace
(Written by John Newton)
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now i sure is found
was blind but now I see
twas grace mother that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved
how precious did ever your grace appear
the hour I first believed
when we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as his sun
I know that grace sweet grace has appeared
and now she'll bring me home
Angie, Angie,
when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie,
where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats,
You can't say we're satisfied,
But Angie, Angie,
you can't say we never tried.
Angie, you're beautiful,
but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you,
remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so
close seemed to all go up in smoke,
Let me whisper in your ear;
Angie, Angie,
where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep,
all your kisses still taste sweet,
I hate that sadness in your eyes,
But Angie, Angie,
ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats,
You can't say we're satisfied,
But Angie, I still love you,
Baby,
Everywhere I look I see your eyes.
There ain't a woman that
comes close to you,
Come on Baby, dry your eyes.
But Angie, Angie,
ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie,
they can't say we never tried.
Bachelorette
You come around us and you bat your eyes
You can turn dust into champagne
You even dream about his name
Bachelorette
The graves are painful, pain for bachelorettes
You tried to shove him, but he can
But you can never rush your man
You must remember
You're a car, girl
You're a star, girl
You are at the door
The tide will turn
There's a window
There's a window
Yeah, mmm
You climb around us, and you mmm them
You tried to shove him, but he can
But you can never rush your man
You know, say
Bachelorette
The things you do, girls, to your bachelorettes
You thought that mmm, and light it isn't
But I lie-di-di-di-died
You must remember
You're a car, girl
You're a star, girl
You are at the door
The tide will turn
There's a window
There's a window
Bachelorette
You fly along, oh, and you cry sometimes
There's nothing like it in the world
You'll go to Paris on your own
Oh, just
Bachelorette
You climb all over them, you bachelorette
You can turn dust into champagne
You even yi-di-di-di-di-di-di-di, i, i...
<laughter> sorry...
It's so nice to live here,
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's someplace to call my own.
It's all kinds of people
Familiar places,smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian.
But the 'Birds' are the best,
The best of Baltimore.
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much to love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you find so stop and take the time.
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind.
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much to love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore.
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
In a working american city
With all the people who make it that way.
It's time to jump in a taxi
For Thirty-third Street
Knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
Watching Weaver's show.
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much to love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you find so stop and take the time.
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind.
On my mind in Baltimore.
Got some candy
And sweet saying
Give me religion
And a lobotomy
Beulah land
Beautiful home
Tell me when
I don't need you anymore
Said that somewhere
You're gonna get something
You're so
You're right in the middle
And then I'm you
Something is coming back again
I said
You
Maybe I don't wanna go
To where you're not
So...
Beulah land
Find me one
Place to be
Is by your [?]
Gotta rubber ball
And a crocidile
Gonna float
And pass your home
And say when, just
Say when, just
Say when...
Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
Do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call, by the way?
He knew, he knew
He knew where the pillow goes
Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
You know where she's gone
Buttercups and fishing flies
The biggest thickest ever skies
I know
They know something I know
Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
You know where she's gone
Little Green Men do OK
It's the faeries revenge they say
Gumdrops, Saturdays
Did Eric call, by the way?
Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
You know where she's gone
Ride on
Ride on
Ride on
Father I killed my monkey
I let it out
to taste the sweet of spring
wonder if I will wander out
test my tether to
see if I'm still free
from you
steady as it comes
right down
to you
I've said it all
so maybe we're a Bliss
of another kind
I said a Bliss of another kind
lately, I'm in to circutry
what it means to be
made of you but not enough of you
and I wonder if
you can bilocate is that what I taste
your supernova juice
you know it's true I'm part of you
steady as it comes
right down to you
I've said it all
so maybe you're a 4 horse engine
with a power drive I said
a hot kachina who wants into mine I said
take it take it with your terracide
we're a Bliss
of another kind
Blue Skies
yeah...
those blue skies are ahead
blue skies in my head
All the town clocks
and marching soldiers socks
I say let's go let's go let's go
to this magic wonder show
and I'm walking and
crawling and
so tired i'm insane
so tour-on and sing
Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead...
Beach wood
says he'd like you-in-the-street
Said like you-in-the-street
in the lullabies
Just when she thinks it's
like-you-in-the-street
Said like-you-in-the-street
in the lullabies
You can go just where she's going
Blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead...
Stinky souls
Get a little lost in my own
Hey General
Need a little love in that hole of yours
One ways now and saturdays
Are now kittens all wrapped in cement
From cradle to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, butterfly
They like you better framed and dried
Daddy dear
If I can kill one man why not two
Well nurses smile
When you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes
Pom poms now and cherry blondes
And those kittens all wrapped in cement
From God's saviours to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, butterfly
They like you better framed and dried
Got a pretty pretty garden
A pretty garden
Got me a pretty pretty garden
Pretty garden yes.....
Maybe I didn't like to hear
But I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
So then I thought I'd make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
And Piggy got a message for me
from Jesus
And I heard every word that she was saying
And I know I have been
driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
So then I tried to make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
This ocean is wrapped around that pinapple tree
And is your place in heaven Worth giving up these kisses
These kisses
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she had said
And I know I have been
driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
Yes, this is cooling
This is cooling
Daisy Dead petals that is her name
She's in the phone booth phase so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
She can turn it out with a heel on
She just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing they're just around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
Daisy Dead Petals that is her name
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger made
Well these dead petals honey brought me here
She said these dead petals brought me here
Dancing on a dime
Hearing Mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
On my back with
On my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down, falling down
All over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
Falling down, falling down, falling down
And since we're down we might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
She's a new friend not a skeleton
To ride into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing that she tastes like a hamburger made
But these dead petals brought me here
She said these dead petals brought me here
Said these dead petals brought me here
Let's go.
Chorus:
Well you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're at the end
Then you love a little wild one
But she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
Chorus:
You go back, Jack
You go back
Do it again
Wheel's turnin' round
and round
You go back Jack
Do it again
Now your swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
You go back, Jack
Do it again
wheel turning round and round
back you go
come on to me
wheel turning round
beautifully
wheel turning round
Maybe I'm a witch lost in time
Running through the fields of Scotland by your side.
Kicked out of France, but I still believe,
Taken to a land far across the sea.
Etienne, Etienne,
Hear the west whisper my name.
Etienne, Etienne,
By the morning maybe we'll remember who I am.
Maybe your the knight who saved my life,
Maybe we faced the fire side by side
Here we are again under the same sky,
As the gypsy crystal slowly dies.
Etienne, Etienne,
Hear the west wind whisper my name.
Etienne, Etienne,
By the morning maybe we'll remember who I am. Yeah!
I close my eyes and see you again.
I know I've held you but I can't remember where or when. Oh!
Etienne, Etienne,
Hear the west wind whisper my name.
Etienne, Etienne,
By the morning maybe we'll remember who I am.
Maybe I'm a witch, Etienne,
Whisper my name.
Famous Blue Raincoat
(Written by: Leonard Cohen)
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writting you now just to see if you're better
New York is so cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house
deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now,
I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
On the night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Last time I saw you
you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat
was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman
to a flake of your life
And when she came back
she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with a rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake
She send her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
But I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way!
If you come by here,
for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping now,
and his woman is free.
And thanks for the trouble
you took from her eyes
I thought it was there so I never tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
On the night that you planned to go clear
Sincerly, L. Cohen
Floating City
You went away,
Why did you leave?
You knew I believed you.
Nothing explained,
Where are the answers?
I know I need you.
Tell me is your city paved with gold?
Is there hunger,
Do your people grow old?
Do your governments have secrets that they've sold?
Ev'ry night I wait, take me away
To your floating city.
By my window at night
I see the lights to your floating city.
Come and take me away,
I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah!
Floating city, Yeah!
T.V. turns off
Any of us that
Say that we've seen you.
Tell me are we
The only planet
That can't conceive you.
Will we be like Atlantis long ago.
So assured that we're advanced
With waht we know
That our spirit never had time to grow.
It is weak to look for
Saviors out in space.
Little Earth she tries so hard
To change our ways.
Sometimes she must get
Sick of this place.
Flying Dutchman
Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tatoo
And you'll never be anything
"What will you do with your life"
Oh, that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried, that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
Keep the boys spinning in their own little world
Time up and so we won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can't They can't see They can't see they can't see feel me
What I've found out You know you know you're jumping from a high jump Are you still They
can't see hide your love hide your love out there? I just move this so many know you know
Mountain but them, oh they can't see cause they can't see
Poppa I know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
Maybe I'll grow up to be
As wise and as good as he
And maybe I'll come back after you're long gone
Poppa I'm sure
The worms have eaten you now
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word
'Cause you're still here telling me still
Slap them boys when they're naughty
Make them crawl, make you haughty
Make you strong, little girl
You paint them toes a reddish colour
And you know one day
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
Now I'm pretty sure
That I think you'd come and visit
And talk sometimes kinda like Gidget
A funny little chance like an Indian Brave
He said "We all grew fat when the white man came"
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make them crawl
Make them grow tall
But have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
And you fry them 'tatoes
And make them with laddies hands
I know you're my pappy's baby
Here I said
Don't even let this go
And it's Hey
To that old man
I'm coming in the graveyard
With my little tune
It's June
I said she's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
To sing you to sleep
Now
Happy Worker
Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
marching to the beet a hot roof over me
Hey ho
here we go
we're off to work again
Bells are ringing, we are singing
Joyous in our industry
I love my job
he loves his job
pull that lever
start the engine
pump the water
build the pressure
push the piston
press the button
pump the water
build the pressure
push the piston
press the button
It's a perfect job
Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers
Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And, have yourself a Merry little Christmas,
now.

In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
Boy you don't, oh, dare now
But i find that I have now
More than I ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you there
You, oh, here in my head
and running around and calling me
Come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
And open their petals again and again
And you know that Apple green ice-cream can melt in your hand
I can't so....
I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you
And me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south
All favourites of mine, You know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
That makes it all clear, makes it all.....
Hey do you know
Hey do you know
What this is doing to me?
Oh, here
Here
Here
Here in my head
No-one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
And this little masochist
She's ready to confess
All the things that
I never thought that she could feel and
Hey Jupiter
Nothings been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know that you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my heart's soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess
Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
And he isn't you
No-one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought
I could never feel the things I feel and
Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
I thought I wouldn't have to keep
With you
Hiding
I go from day to day
I know where the cupboards are
I know where the car is parked
I know he isn't you
Yes
Nothing
Hey Jupiter
Nothing
Nothing's been the same
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing's been the same
Nothing
Home on the Range (Cherokee Edition)
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
Well Jackson made deals
A thief down to his heels
Had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide
a Cherokee bride
Her brave was shot yesterday
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
We know it's not Caroline
Your home is your home
The range may be fine
For some but not in my eyes
Home on the range
The Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride
But in their eyes we know it's not Caroline
Yes, yes, America
Hey, ah, America
Who discovered your ass?
The white man came
"This land is my Land
this is your land" they say
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Little dust never stopped me none
You like my shoes, I keep them on
Sometimes I can hold my tongue
But sometimes not
When you just skip to lou my darling
And you know what you're doin'so don't even
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey now
And I think I could leave your world
Yes she was the better girl
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
I'm not sure what you're doin'or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey now
Don't bother coming down
Made a friend of the western skies
What if I'm coming down
You always like your babies tied
Tell you one last time
Love to watch those cowboys ride
Cowboys now on cowgirls ride
Or on the Indian side
You're just too used to my honey now
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty dumpty had a great big fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a [sony?] and some Camembert cheese
She said "Humpty baby, take me
Oooh, yeah, take me to the river
Cause I like the way it runs, yeah,
Take me to the river
You know I like the way it runs, yeah"
He said, "Everything's going my way"
he said, "Maybe it's my la-lucky day"
And he said, "anything you want
I can give"
She said, "I wanna take your picture
Just for me"
He said, "Anything"
She said, "Up there, baby
Get on the wall babe"
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was falling
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
She said, "I like custard in the summer, honey
Oh yeah, what it takes to be queen
Hey, what it takes to be queen
What it takes to be...oh
When you said you'd marry me
I thought you meant you'd wanted to
Then I thought you'd like to
Maybe on a Tuesday
Are the dead coming
I heard they'll be dressing
Something kind of maggoty
Rolling with fropperty
Imagine
(Written by John Lennon)
Imagine there's no heaven
it's easy if you try
no hell below us
above us only sky
imagine all the people
living for today...
imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too
imagine all the people
living life in peace...
imagine no possesssions
i wonder if you can
no need for greed or hunger
a brotherhood of man
imagine all the people
sharing all the world...
you may say i'm a dreamer
but i'm not the only one
i hope someday you'll join us
and the world will be as one
London Girls
(Written by: Chas & Dave)
Some people sing about Deutsche girls
and girl from California
they might be alright for a night alright
but I don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east and I've been out west
and I've been the world around
but I ain't seen no one anywhere near
a girls from London town
Give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
Marry a girl from London town
you know that you can trust her
she'll darn your socks
and wash your
yes evrytime your trousers won't bust 'em
and they're all good cooks
and they've got good looks
and they won't lead you down
said I gotta find a London Girl
if I ever get to have chance
Oh give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl
I want a London Girl
London girls are the best in the world
there ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from London town
you're better off doing without it
they don't grate when you come home late
and you're crawling up the passage floor
they won't mock about you
when you're going out with
the geezer fromt he house next door
Oh give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a London girl babe
every little day
your legs turn to jelly
and I got a little smelly
but I know it's just what I want
cause I need a London girl , every time
they've always got a pound
to buy their round
when it's their turn at the bar.
Losing My Religion
(by Michael Stipe (R.E.M.))
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
Love Song
(Written by: The Cure (Smith, Gallup, Thompson, Williams, O'Donnel, Tolhurst))
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again.
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again.
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again.
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again.
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you!
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again.
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you!
Mary
Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking
God I want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink mustang
When I think of what we've done to you
Mary, can you hear me?
Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips
Butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind....
Even the wind cries your name
Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pin-up girl
They gottta run as they buy and sell
If it's a myth, running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What do we do when our baby scream?
Fill their mouths with some magic rain
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind.....
Even the wind cries your name
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay, ooh ooh
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind.....
Even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name....
Cries your name....
Cries your name....

[spoken: My B's stuck so I have to change keys, hang on.]
Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
In an elevator
In a dream
Maybe where you know the razor's been
And you said girl if you think
You can change that violator
You'll finally be that woman
Yes, finally be that woman that's been frozen
In that Pretty silver girl
And I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Some boy you are
You are
And, sugar
He brings me sugar...
Ode To The Banana King, Part One
Turning back ten thousand years
It's all a blur where the taxis go
Monster man a willing friend
Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls
Four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows
Gonna get caught in her rug babe
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been
Boats made out of paper float
Dreams made up for the banana king
Darling crumbs you have lapped freely up
Devious we all have been
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

Purple People (Christmas in Space)
Well hey, do you do Judo
When they
A little mental yoga
Will they disappear?
It's grim but never dubious
As motives go
No matter what it takes she promises a show.
Thunder wishes it could be the snow.
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be.
These gifts are here for her. For you. For me.
I watch maybe this other thing and never know.
If I'm marooned or where the purple people go.
Then lilly-white matress hide from vicious words.
It doesn't leave a scratch, so therefore no-one's heard.
Thunder wishes it could be the snow.
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be.
These gifts are here.
For her, for you, for me.
Darling, oh, the nurses make it clear.
Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear.
A restaurant that never has to close.
Breakfast every hour it could save the world.
So hey do you do Judo in your finery?
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly.
Thunder wishes it could be the snow.
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be.
These gifts are here for her, for you, for me.
La-la-la
Ah-ha
For her, for her.
Mmmmhmmmmm....

Doesn't mean she's holy
Just means
She's got a cellular handy
Almost brave
Almost pregnant
Almost in love vanilla
And you know you're
Gonna lie to you
In your own way
And you don't need
The light on to guide you
Through the southern lands
Go said go yes<<<
Master Shamen
I have come
With my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
But all the angels
And all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet
You have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming
Call the wanderer
Where he has gone
All those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wing
A wing can cover all sorts of things
And all the angels
And all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Hey yes
This again
Well
I think I could try this
Once again
Got a sister named Desire
They dont let you like those little boys
by their house
On the back yard swing
I know of it cause
I thought we told some little sweet stories
In the parking lot
They say that girl lost her sway
The say that girl lost her sway that day
Mm mm mm mm mm, mm mm
God I'd like to drag him for a long way 'cause maybe I
Then I'd just cry a little tear near him
To that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take him by myself if I've got to go
Don't let you know, let you know where she goes to
with those, me as I interfere
That girl lost her sway
They say that girl lost her sway that day
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Teach me about them old worlds big brother
and in an elevator
where somebody can get out
With the
sound
They say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it slip through my hands, Boy
Watch it go
Oh, what you know, ooh
I guess
I see
Just see
'Cause she still can sway
Na na na na na na
Na na na
Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overbored and selfassured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello hello ah
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift
I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be
Until the end
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello
With the lights out
It's less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us yeah
Hello hello aaah
With the lights out

Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now

Somewhere Over The
Rainbow
(Music: Harold Arlen; Lyrics: E.Y. Harburg)
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
One day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, oh why can't I?
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?
I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes
See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know me like the nightingale
"Oh fair maiden I see you standing there"
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me
Strange Fruit
Lyrics and Music: Lewis Allen
originally preformed by Billie Holliday
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallow south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes off the record books
And sugar
He brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
And hammers he
Used one on me
Cold war with little boys
Get in with their bubble-gum trade
And sugar
He brings me sugar
I know the robins bring
Bring me many things
But sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know and I know
I don't know who me is very well
I know you know
If they found me out
yes said
Sweet boy when they find you out
Tell me what you think they'll do
When they find out you got a little in here
Tell me what you think they'll do
When they find you out
Whe they find you out
When they find out
You're just sugar
He's sugar
I know the robins bring
Bring me many things
But sugar
Bring me sugar
I know the robins bring
Bring me many things
But sugar
Here's sugar
yes
"Lies everywhere"
Said the father to the son
You're peppermint breath
Gonna choke him to death Daddy
Watch your little black sheep run
He's got knives in your back
Every time he opens up
You say "He gotta be strong if
He wants to be a man" Mister
I don't know how you can have
Sweet Dreams
Land land of Liberty we're run
By a constipated man
When you live in the past you refuse to see
When your daughter comes home
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points
Of light gonna shine them on the face
Of your friends - they've got the earth in a sling
The world on her knees they've even got
Your zipper between their teeth
Sweet Dreams
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Go on and dream
Your house is on fire
Well well summer wind
Been catchin up with me
"Elephant mind missy
you don't have you're forgettin
to fly darlin when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy susan
Takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes
Runnin through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet Dreams
This house is like Russia
With Eyes cold and gray
You got me movin in a circle
I dyed my hair Red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried Deep in my heart yeah
But my priest says
You ain't savin no souls
My father says
You ain't makin any money
My Doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you Don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way so
Close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
If you don't like me just a little
Why Do you hang around
If you don't like me just a little
Why do you
Take it take it take it take it
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
One with her hands
Open
"Don't be afraid" she said
"No-one will know it -
Just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back
Thank You
(Written by Led Zepplin)
If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be lovin' you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There'll still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all,
Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die.
My, my, my,
Inspiration's what you are to me,
Inspiration, look see.
And so today, my world it smiles,
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad,
Happiness....I'm glad.
That's
What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song)
(Lyrics: Chas Hodges & Dave Peacock)
cheese and onion sandwiches on derby chinaware
fiddles and jigs and boogie my dog, Auntie Vee having a swear
taking my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glen Hoddle scoring a goal
catching a pike and riding my bike, old wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
yes, that's what I like boy
that's what I like
pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William books and comical looks, pianos trams and trains
coals and cockles and thunder storms, place on the wireless and now
grandfather clocks and coke and brandy
fountain pens and Beano and Dandy
that's what I like
I said, that's what I like
little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and Barnet Faire
the sound of the banjo barbershop singing and having a kid in the chair
butter on toast a beer from the wood and old jerry thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chuck and Cannon & Ball, a banjo picking bill keith
and old bank loads, wood burning stoves
and Shirley MacLaine and Petticoat Lane
that's what I like,
said that's what I like
yes, boy
yes that's just a...
bubble and squeak and jumble says Little Richard and Jerry Lee
bonfire night and South and that's paddlin' in the sea
polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
violins and old coach inns, and colored elastic bands
tea in the morning and winter beginnin'
fishing rods and frogs and spurs and winning years
that's what I like
hey, that's what I like
a day at the races cover the bases going down hopping in Kent
a new pair of braces little kids faces sleeping under the tent
and wagons chickens and picking blackberries and swallows and sledges
and Devon and derries and haddock and trotters and horses and knickers
and swatters and stickers and banjoes and kippers
yeah, that's I like boy
that's what I like
thoughts right now
i picked up a magazine
oooh here we go
fifteen hundred years
fifteen hundred years here

or the pain of the respect there-of yes indeed
thoughts right now
what will become of me

and some say she got too many strings
with petticoats out and goin hall gown

Hey yes I said yes I said Hooray hey yippee yay I said diddily hey
Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Toodles I say so long
Hear that your grave's a little warm you stickler
Sing them all your happy song
It's today
Today's Sunday
By your Grave
I say Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Taught me so well how to spell those red
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered
Swattered
Blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead
But now it's Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Built that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb
When they've got a spell
Toodles Mr Jim you are
My sweet favourite neighbour of them all
Let those Girls go to their parties
I don't care
'Cos I'm with you
Still
[spoken: "That was Toodles Mr Jim. Mr Jim die two weeks ago.
He taught me how to pick cherries and I punched his daughter in the nose 'cause she was
mean. Mr Jim was good."]
God I love to turn my little blue world
Upsidedown
God I love to turn my little blue world
Upsidedown
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still comin' out of my Mother
Upsidedown
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl
Upsidedown
I know you love to turn this little blue baby girl
Upsidedown
But my heart it says you've been
Shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still comin' out of your Mother
Upsidedown
But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick you say
Tell me what that makes us darlin'
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say baby what have you been smokin'
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed
I loved a black boy
My Daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl
Upsidedown
Any kind of touch is better than none
Even Upsidedown
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
It's the only thing we can't seem to turn
Upsidedown
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm ok when everything is not ok
Don't we love to turn our little blue world
Upsidedown
Don't we love to turn our little blue world
Upsidedown
Inside my head a voice
Chatter chatter chatter chatter
And it says Girl you're all the same
Still comin' out of your Mother
Still comin' out of your Mother
Upsidedown
Walking with you
Hand in palm, palm in hand
It's great to be your special friend
I wonder if you'll ever land
Next to my heart where you belong
Walking along
Singing a song
Walking with you
Walking with you
Heart in steps, Step on beach
Beach in sun, have some fun
It's great to be your special friend
I wonder if you'll ever hand
Over your heart to me
Walking along
Smiling our song
Walking with you
I know a place, where you can stay
Footsteps to a door open all day
Walking with you walking with you
Walking....
Walking with you
Life in eyes, light in your eye-eyes
I know you love me too.
Walking with you...
Walking with you...
Walking with you...

Whoomp There It Is
Whoomp there it is
There she goes again
In the bathroom with her shoes on
Whoomp there it is
With Kevin and Bean
A cookie in the oven
And a sherry in my scene
I said whoomp there it is
I'll tell you what she knows
I'm coming back to lay in the mud
It's a bit shakin' these days you know
But they always knew how to
Rock an' Roll
I said whoomp there it is
I gotta end this song
I don't know what's coming
If my lyrics go on
It's over now
Uh-uh
Wrapped Around Your
Finger
(Written by: Summers, Copeland, Sting)
You may consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes.
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring on your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge,
Things they wouldn’t teach me in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you’re up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you’ll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Then you will find your servant is your master
And then you’ll be wrapped around my finger.
