How long can I stay in this nowhere café Before night turns into day I wonder why Im so frightened of dawn All I have and all I know Is this dream of you Which keeps me living on Theres a moment when all old things Become new again But that moment might have come and gone All I have and all I know Is this dream of you Which keeps me living on I look away, but I keep seeing it I dont want to believe, but I keep believing it Shadows dance upon the wall Shadows that seem to know it all Am I too blind to see, is my heart playing tricks on me Im lost in the crowd All my tears are gone All I have and all I know Is this dream of you Which keeps me living on Everything I touch seems to disappear Everywhere I turn you are always here Ill run this race until my earthly death Ill defend this place with my dying breath From a cheerless room in a curtained gloom I saw a star from heaven fall I turned and looked again but it was gone All I have and all I know Is this dream of you Which keeps me living on

You must leave now Take what you need, you think will last But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast Yonder stands your orphan with his gun Crying like a fire in the sun Look out, the saints are coming through And its all over now, Baby Blue The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense Take what you have gathered from coincidence The empty handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets The sky, too, is folding under you And its all over now, Baby Blue All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home Your empty handed armies are going home Your lover who just walked out the door Has taken all his blankets from the floor The carpet, too, is moving under you And its all over now, Baby Blue Leave your stepping stones behind Theres something that calls for you Forget the dead youve left They will not follow you The vagabond whos rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore Strike another match, go start anew And its all over now, Baby Blue

Gimmi Ilpedofilo uscì di casa ma quel mattino faceva brutto Bruttooo Nuvole basse, uno di quei giorni nei quali credi di aver visto tutto Tuttooo Ma quel tutto è niente Gimmi Ilpedofilo fece le scale e fuori cera gente Gente arrabbiata lo guardava storto dietro lo specchio degli occhiali da sole ma non cè il sole Sole sole dove sei? Gimmi Gimmi ti vorrebbe. Dimmi quando tu verrai. Forse forse sarà tardi Si sentì perso e gli mancò il fiato. Lungo lasfalto escrementi di cane. Sguardi pesanti dodio tutto intorno. Gimmi pensò: Vada come vada e tornò a casa ma vennero anche quelli, i genitori con il bastone in mano: Gimmi il pedofilo sei un uomo morto. Gimmi Ilpedofilo noi ti ammazziamo con il bastone Bastoncino pim pum pam, volan tanti scappellotti! Gimmi se la vede brutta, Gimmi se la vede brutta Aspettate questo è un equivoco!, ci provò Gimmi a discolparsi Discolparsiiii Ma gli tapparono la bocca, e sangue, poi bastonate, sputi, pugni e calci Calciiii Giustizia è fatta, pensò la gente, ma in verità non era stato giusto. Perchè okay, sì, Gimmi Ilpedofilo, ma Ilpedofilo era il cognome Oh no, they tought he was a pedophile but its just his family name since the XVIII century. Never had problems before! Its not his job, just his name, it would be a travesty Gimmi Ilpedofilo è morto innocente, vittima solo del proprio cognome. E ora dallalto del Paradiso ci guarda col suo sorriso buono in compagnia dei suoi nuovi amici, che già subirono la stessa sorte: Fabio Uxoricidi, Roberto Ammazzaneonati, ma soprattutto Fabia Inculamorti Oh poor Fabiana Inculamorti, another innocent victim in this stupid misunderstanding. She was not a necrophiliac, she was just, just a girl. Another innocent pawn in this cruel game of life. Oh life... E la morale di questa storia è che la fretta ti consiglia male. Quanti altri ancora dopvranno morire per un errore di valutazione? Quante le vedove che piangeranno, o i padri che non vedranno tornare quei figli ai quali hanno dato un cognome che fa paura alluomo della strada? Possa il signore perdonarvi tutti perchè io... Enrico, aspetta, faccio io... Possa il Signore perdonarvi tutti, perchè io certo non lo posso fare. Ma se unidea ve la siete fatta, venite a dirmela di persona. Trovarmi è facile, sulla lapide cè scritto il mio nome, Luigi. Anzi: Gianluigi. Gianluigi Bombatomica Gianluigi Bombatomica. Poverino Giangi. Gianluigi, solo un cognome: Bombatomica. Poverino, Giangi. Poverino! Ti spalmo sul panino, si era capito? Io lho capita recentemente, però... Io adesso lho capita Cè Pierino che torna a casa da scuola, deve andare in bagno. Cè suo papà, bussa... Papà cosa stai facendo?..e il papà dice Sto facendomi la barba..però non so se, bisogna vedere la faccia rossa...oppure Pierino torna a casa, Papà in bagno, deve andare in bagno, bussa e Papà cosa stai facendo?...è Pierino che caga fuori dal cesso..oppure quella che dice Cè Pierino che... caga quello che la racconta Questa è la più bella di tutti, bravo Dio mio, ma dopo tanti anni sei sempre un coglione, sei sempre rimasto lo stesso...bravo!

Early one morning the sun was shining And he was laying in bed Wondering if shed changed at all If her hair was still red Her folks they said their lives together Sure was going to be rough They never did like Mamas homemade dress Papas bankbook wasnt big enough And he was standing on the side of the road Rain falling on his shoes Heading out for the Old East Coast Lord knows hes paid some dues Getting through Tangled up in blue She was married when they first met Soon to be divorced He helped her out of a jam, I guess But he used a little too much force And they drove that car as far as they could Abandoned it out West And split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best And she turned around to look at him As he was walking away She said This cant be the end Well meet on another day, on the avenue Tangled up in blue He had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell But he never liked it all that much And one day the ax just fell So he drifted down to L.A. Where he reckoned to try his luck Working for a while in an airplane plant Loading cargo onto a truck But all the while he was alone The past was close behind He seen a lot of women But she never escaped his mind And he just grew Tangled up in blue She was working in a topless place And I stopped in for a beer I just kept looking at the side of her face In the spotlight, so clear And later on, when the crowd thinned out I was about to do the same She was standing there, in back of my chair Said to me Whats your name? I muttered something underneath my breath She studied the lines on my face I must admit, I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces Of my shoes Tangled up in blue She lit a burner on the stove And offered me a pipe I thought youd never say hello she said You look like the silent type Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burning coal Pouring off of every page Like it was written in my soul From me to you Tangled up in blue He was always in a hurry Too busy or too stoned And everything that she ever planned Just had to be postponed He thought they were successful She thought they were blessed With objects and material things But I never was impressed And when it all came crashing down I became withdrawn The only thing I knew how to do Was keep on keepin on like a bird that flew Tangled up in blue So now Im going back again I got to get to her somehow All the people we used to know Theyre an illusion to me now Some are mathematicians Some are doctors wives Dont know how it all got started Dont know what theyre doing with their lives But me, Im still on the road Heading for another joint We always did feel the same We just saw it from a different point Of view Tangled up in blue

When youre all alone All the children grown And, like starlings, flown away It gets lonely early, doesnt it? Lonely early, doesnt it?

Oh, me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride As we went a-walking down by the seaside Now mark what followed and what did betide For it being on Christmas morning Now, for recreation, we went on a tramp And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp And a little wee drummer intending to camp For the day being pleasant and charming Good morning, good morning, the Sergeant he cried And the same to you, gentlemen, we did reply Intending no harm but meant to pass by For it being on Christmas morning But, says he, My fine fellows, if you will enlist Ten guineas in gold Ill stick in your fist And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust And drink the kings health in the morning For a soldier, he leads a very fine life And he always is blessed with a charming young wife And he pays all his debts without sorrow or strife And he always lives pleasant and charming And a soldier, he always is decent and clean In the finest of clothing hes constantly seen While other poor fellows go dirty and mean And sup on thin gruel in the morning. But, says Arthur, I wouldnt be proud of your clothes For youve only the lend of them, as I suppose But you dare not change them one night, for you know If you do, youll be flogged in the morning And although that were single and free We take great delight in our own company We have no desire strange places to see Although that your offers are charming And we have no desire to take your advance All hazards and dangers we barter on chance For youd have no scruples for to send us to France Where we would get shot without warning. Oh no, says the Sergeant. Ill have no such chat And neither will I take it from snappy young brats For if you insult me with one other word Ill cut off your heads in the morning. And Arthur and I, we soon drew our hogs And we scarce gave them time to draw their own blades When a trusty shillelagh came over their head And bid them take that as fair warning And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their sides We flung them as far as we could in the tide Now take them up, devils! cried Arthur McBride And temper their edge in the morning! And the little wee drummer, we flattened his bow And we made a football of his rowdy-dow-dow Threw it in the tide for to rock and to roll And bade it a tedious returning And we having no money, paid them off in cracks We paid no respect to their two bloody backs And we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks And left them for dead in the morning And so, to conclude and to finish disputes We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts And bid them look sharp in the morning Oh, me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride As we went a-walking down by the seaside Now mark what followed and what did betide For it being on Christmas morning

There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi He would not bow down he would not fight He knew the deal was down and dirty And nothing wrong could make it right away But he knew his duty and the prize he had to pay Just another holy man who tried to be a friend My God, they killed him Another man from Atlanta, Georgia By name of Martin Luther King He shook the land like the rolling thunder And made the bells of freedom ring today With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away Just another holy man who dared to make a stand My God, they killed him The only Son of God Almighty The holy one called Jesus Christ He healed the lame and fed the hungry And for his love they took his life away On the road to glory where the story never ends Just the holy Son of Man well never understand My God, they killed him There was a man named Mahatma Gandi A man named Martin Luther King The only Son of God Almighty The only one called Jesus Christ On the road to glory where the story never ends Just the holy Son of Man well never understand My God, they killed him There was a man named Mahatma Gandi A man named Martin Luther King The only Son of God Almighty The only one called Jesus Christ On the road to glory where the story never ends Just the holy Son of Man well never understand My God, they killed him

Never fall in love with a stranger And that, son, they all said to me And never fall in love with a stranger But I cant help it if she falls in love with me And never fall in love with a stranger Now, they’ve gone against my command And never fall in love with a stranger The pain is written in my hands But if I cant resist Find my way outta this She knows that our love, more than any river, flows And Im done now, all of my intentions are exposed Not hidden in my clothes Or in between my toes I wanna tombstone pearl handle revolver Dont wanna meet a pale man with a halo in his hair And never fall in love with a stranger But sometimes I simply do not care And if I cant resist Get my way outta this She knows that our love, more than any river, flows And Im done now, all of my intentions are exposed Not hidden in my clothes Or in between my toes I done things right, pretty much all of my life Im not looking for any sympathy I can run all I like away from that stranger But somehow shell always follow me

Come and listen for a moment, lads And hear me tell my tale How across the sea from England I was condemned to sail Now the jury found me guilty Then says the judge, says he Oh, for life, Jim Jones, Im sending you Across the stormy sea But take a tip before you ship To join the iron gang Dont get too gay in Botany Bay Or else youll surely hang Or else youll surely hang, says he And after that, Jim Jones Its high above on the gallows tree The crows will pick your bones. And our ship was high upon the sea Then pirates came along But the soldiers on our convict ship Were full five hundred strong For they opened fire and somehow drove That pirate ship away But Id rather have joined that pirate ship Than gone to Botany Bay With the storms ragin round us And the winds a-blowin gale Id rather have drowned in misery Than gone to New South Wales Now its day and night and the irons clang And like poor galley slaves We toil and toil, and when we die Must fill dishonored graves And its by and by Ill slip my chains Well, into the bush Ill go And Ill join the bush rangers there Jack Donohue and co And some dark night, when everything Is silent in the town Ill shoot those tyrants one and all Ill gun the flogger down Oh, Ill give the law A little shock Remember what I say And theyll yet regret theyve sent Jim Jones In chains to Botany Bay

There was a wicked messenger From Eli he did come With a mind that multiplied The smallest matter When questioned who had sent for him He answered with his thumb For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter He stayed behind the assembly hall It was there he made his bed And often times he could be seen returning Until one day he just appeared With a note in his hand that read The soles of my feet, I swear theyre burning, Oh, the leaves began to fall The seas began to part And the people that confronted him were many And he was told with these few words Which opened up his heart If you cannot bring good news, dont bring any.

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea Cast a spell over me Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself Cant you see that it never can be You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though Im certain that this heart of mine Hasnt a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head

I wont fly down, I cant fly down And light on your right knee A girl who would murder her own true love Would kill a little birdlike me.

The river whispers in my ear Ive hardly a penny to my name The heavens never seemed so near All of my body glows with flame The tempest struggles in the air And to myself alone I sing It could sink me then and there I can hear the echoes ring I tried to find one smiling face To drive the shadow from my head Im stranded in this nameless place Lying restless in a heavy bed Tell me straight out if you will Why must you torture me within? Why must you come from your high hill? Throw my fate to the clouds and wind Far away in a silent land Secret thoughts are hard to bear Remember me, youll understand Emotions we can never share You trampled on me as you passed Left the coldest kiss upon my brow All of my doubts and fears have gone at last Ive nothing more to tell you now I walk by tranquil lakes and streams As each new seasons dawn awaits I lay awake at night with troubled dreams The enemy is at the gates Beneath the thunder blasted trees The words are ringin off your tongue The ground is hard in times like these The stars are cold, the night is young The rocks are bleak, the trees are bare Iron clouds go floating by Snowflakes fallin in my hair Beneath the gray and stormy sky The evenin sun is sinkin low The woods are dark, the town is too Theyll drag you down, theyll run the show Aint no telling what theyll do Tell ol Bill when he comes home That anything is worth a try Tell him that Im not alone And that the hour has come to do or die All the world I would defy Let me make it plain as day I look at you now and I sigh How could it be any other way?

There must be some kind of way out of here Said a joker to the thief There is too much confusion I cant get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Ploughmen dig my earth None of them anywhere along the line Know what any of it is worth No reason to get excited The thief he softly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I weve been through that And this not our fate And let us not talk falsely now The hours getting late All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching The wind began to howl

If you find it in Your heart, can I be forgiven? Guess I owe You some kind of apology I’ve escaped death so many times, I know I’m only living By the saving grace that’s over me By this time I’d-a thought I would be sleeping In a pine box for all eternity My faith keeps me alive, but I still be weeping For the saving grace that’s over me Well, the death of life, then come the resurrection Wherever I am welcome is where I’ll be I put all my confidence in Him, my sole protection Is the saving grace that’s over me Well, the devil’s shining light, it can be most blinding But to search for love, that ain’t no more than vanity As I look around this world all that I’m finding Is the saving grace that’s over me The wicked know no peace and you just can’t fake it There’s only one road and it leads to Calvary It gets discouraging at times, but I know I’ll make it By the saving grace that’s over me

Lazy stadium night Catfish on the mound “Strike three,” the umpire said Batter have to go back and sit down Catfish, million-dollar-man Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can Used to work on Mr. Finley’s farm But the old man wouldn’t pay So he packed his glove and took his arm And one day he just ran away Come up where the Yankees are Dress up in a pinstripe suit Smoke a custom-made cigar Wear an alligator boot Carolina born and bred Love to hunt the little quail Got a hundred-acre spread Got some huntin’ dogs for sale Reggie Jackson at the plate Seeing’ nothing’ but the curve Swing too early or too late Got to eat what Catfish serve Even Billy Martin grins When the Fish is in the game Every season twenty wins Gonna make the Hall of Fame
