Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin a new game
Laughing and a running, hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin and you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbows wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall, with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that Im all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes Im overcome thinking bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da la te da |
Jesus died for somebodys sins but not mine
Melting in a pot of thieves wild card up my sleeve
Thick, heart of stonemy sins my own
They belong to me. Me
People said beware but I dont care
Their words are just rules and regulations to me. Me
I walk in a room you know I look so proud
I move in this here atmosphere where anythings allowed
Then I go to this here party and I just get bored
Until I look out the window see a sweet young thing
Humping on a parking meter leaning on the parking meter
Oh, she looks so good. Oh, she looks so fine
And Ive got this crazy feeling that Im going to make her mine
Oh Ill put my spell on her here she comes
Walking down the street here she comes
Coming through my door here she comes
Crawling up my stair here she comes
Waltzing through the hall in a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good. Oh, she looks so fine
And Ive got this crazy feeling that Im going to make her mine
Then I hear this knocking on my door hear this knocking on my door
And I look up to the big tower clock and say oh my God its midnight
And my baby is walking through the door laying on my couch
She whispers to me and I take the big plunge
And oh, she was so good. And oh, she was so fine
And Im going to tell the world that I just made her mine
And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
She whispered to me, she told me her name
And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is
G L O R I -
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
I was at the stadium. There were two thousand girls
Called their names out to me Marie Ruth but to tell you the truth
I didnt hear them. I didnt see. I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
And I heard those bells chiming in my heart going ding-dong
Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong
Ding-dong. Calling the time when you came to my room
And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
And oh, you were so good. Oh, you were so fine
And Ive got to tell the world that I made ya mine, made yamine
Made her mine made ya mine made her mine made ya mine
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
When the tower bells chime
Ding-dong they chime
I said that Jesus died
For somebodys sins
But not mine

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
And when that foghorn blows
I will be coming home, mmhmm hmm
And when the foghorn blows
I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will float
Into the mystic, mmm
When that foghorn blows
You know I will be coming home, mmm uh
And when that foghorn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic, mmm
Come on girl
Too late to stop now |
Well, it’s a marvellous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
’Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love
Well, I want to make love to you tonight
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you’re never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
Then I know how much you want me that you can’t hide
Can I just have one more moondance with you
My love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love
Well, it’s a marvellous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
’Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night’s magic
Seems to whisper and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine
In your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love
One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la
In the moonlight
On a magic night
Can’t I just have one more moondance with you
My love |
And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats, and theyll get high
On a bluer ocean against tomorrows sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
Oh, sweet thing, sweet thing
Sweet thing
Oh my, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry
Hey, its me, Im dynamite, and I dont know why
And you shall take me strongly in your arms again
And I will not remember that I ever felt the pain
We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty wet
All misty wet with rain down
And I will never, never, never grow so old again
Oh, you sweet thing
Oh, you sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my
And I will raise my hand up into the night time sky
And count the stars thats shining in your eye
And just to dig it all an not to wonder, thats just fine
And Ill be satisfied not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever grow so old again
Oh sweet thing
Oh sugar-baby
Oh sweet thing
Sugar-baby, sugar-baby, sugar-baby
With your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile |
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And Im pushin on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin with the look of avarice
Talkin to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin pictures on the wall
Whisperin in the hall
And pointin a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin in the sun darlin
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin good care of your boy
Seein that hes got clean clothes
Puttin on his little red shoes
I see you know hes got clean clothes
A-puttin on his little red shoes
A-pointin a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin straight at you
Comin through, darlin
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again

That man in the mirror aint me
In the mirror, aint me, no, no
That man in the mirror cant see
In the mirror, cant see me, no |
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin down
Me and Billy standin there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of fishin rods
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it dont rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
And the rain let up
And the sun came up
And we were gettin dry
Almost let a pick-up truck
Nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in
And the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
And we looked at the swim
And we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
2:12 - 2:53
On the way back home
We sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man
From across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone
In his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too
One for me and you
And he said Hey! There you are
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
Well it stoned me to my soul
Stoned on me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
Well it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me |
Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking, clacking of the high-heeled shoe
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George
Marching with the soldier boy behind
Hes much older now with hat on drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
The cool night air like Shalimar
And outside theyre making all the stops
The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taken Madame George
Thats when you fall
Whoa, thats when you fall
Yeah, thats when you fall
When you fall into a trance
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms and history books
You glance into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you found the bag
Youre getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
In the corner playing dominoes in drag
The one and only Madame George
And then from outside the frosty window raps
She jumps up and says, Lord, have mercy I think that its the cops
And immediately drops everything she gots
Down into the street below
And you know you gotta go
On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And as you leave, the room is filled with music
Laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room
And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all
So cold, and as youre about to leave
She jumps up and says, hey love, you forgot your gloves
And the loves to love to love the love
To say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
Dry your eyes for Madame George
Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street
In the backstreet, in the back street
Say goodbye to Madame George
In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street
Down home, down home in the back street
Gotta go, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Dry your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye
Say goodbye to Madame George
And the loves to love to love the love
Say goodbye
Say goodbye goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
The loves to love, the loves to love, the loves to love
Say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train, the train, the train
This is the train, this is the train
Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train, get on the train |
Stand and deliver
You let them put the fear on you
Stand and deliver
But not a word you heard was true
But if theres nothing you can say
There may be nothing you can do
Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna wear these chains
Until youre lying in the grave?
I dont wanna be a pauper
And I dont wanna be a prince
I dont wanna be a pauper
And I dont wanna be a prince
I just wanna do my job
Playing the blues for friends
Magna Carta, Bill of Rights
The constitution, whats it worth?
You know theyre gonna grind us down, ah
Until it really hurts
Is this a sovereign nation
Or just a police state?
You better look out, people
Before it gets too late
You wanna be your own driver
Or keep on flogging a dead horse?
You wanna be your own driver
Or keep on flogging a dead horse?
Do you wanna make it better
Or do you wanna make it worse?
Stand and deliver
You let them put the fear on you
Slow down the river
But not a word of it was true
If theres nothing you can say
There may be nothing you can do
Stand and deliver
Stand and deliver

Little Jimmy’s gone
Away out of the back street out of the window
To the falling rain
Right on time
Right on time
That’s why Broken Arrow
Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow in the evening
Just before the Sunday six-bell chime
Six bells chime
And all the dogs are barking
Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander
And you roam from your retreating view
And way over on the railroad
Tomorrow while the tipping trucks roll out all together
Every scrapbook stuck with glue
And I’ll stand beside you
Beside you
Oh, child
To never never never wonder why at all
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
To never, never, wonder why at all
To never, never, never, wonder why
It’s gotta be, it has to be
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander
Past your window with the lantern lit
You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island breeze
Said your time was open, go away along your merry way
Past the brazen footlits of the silence easy
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
And youre high on your high-flying cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you
This time its found you
You turn around
You turn around
You turn around
You turn around
And Im beside you
Beside you
Oh darling
To never never wonder why at all
No, no, no, no, no
To never never never wonder why at all
To never never never wonder why its got to be
It has to be
And Im beside you
Beside you
Oh child
To never never wonder why at all
Im beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Ooooh, oooh
Child |
Well, Im caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
Im caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
And Im conquered in a car seat
Not a thing that I can do
I may go crazy
Before that mansion on the hill
I may go crazy
Before that mansion on the hill
But my heart keeps beating faster
And my feet cant keep still
And all the little girls rhyme something
On the way back home from school
And all the little girls rhyme something
On the way back home from school
And the leaves fall one by one
And call the autumn time a fool
Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied
Every, every, every time I try to speak
My tongue gets tied
Every time I try to speak
And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree
I think Ill go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
I believe Ill go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine
Wait a minute, yonder come my lady
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
Yonder come my lady
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
Six white horses and a carriage
Shes returning from the fair
Baby, baby, baby
Well, Im caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
Im caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
And Im conquered in a car seat
And Im looking straight at you
Way up on, way up on, way up on
The avenue of trees
Keep walking down
In the wind and the rain, darling
You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees
Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby
So young and bold, fourteen-year old
Baby, baby, baby |

Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
Youre out of reach
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
Youre gone for something
And I know you wont be back

Every time I see you
I just dont know what to do |

As you brush your shoes, stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat
And you walk wet streets, tryin to remember
All the wild night breezes in your memry ever
And everything looks so complete
When youre walkin out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flyin, cryin
Ooo-woo-wee, wild night is calling
Ooo-ooh-wee, wild night is calling
All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passin by stare in wild wonder
And the inside jukebox roars out just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When youre walkin out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flyin, cryin
Ooo-woo-wee, wild night is calling
Ooo-ooh-wee, wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Whoa, come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out, make romance |
Chamois cleaning all the windows
Singing songs about Edith Piafs soul
And I hear blue strains of no regredior
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
Were trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we sit upon this jagged
Storey block, with you my friend
And its a long way to Buffalo
Its a long way to Belfast city too
And Im hoping the joist wont blow the hoist
cos this time, they bit off more than they can chew
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

All the orange boxes are scattered
Against the Safeways supermarket in the rain
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone elses pain
No ones making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Hidin behind closed doorways
Tryin to get outside, outside of empty shells
And for every cross-cuttin country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And every strain on every brain and every eye
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

And the restaurant tables are completely covered
The record company has paid out for the wine
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile
Thats the way it all should happen
When youre in, when youre in the state youre in;
Youve got your pen and notebook ready
I think its about time, time for us to begin
And were over in a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the white hope few
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But theyre flying too high to see my point of view
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the street
With the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers
In my lunch-break
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
Oh, Sam was up on top
And I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris buns
At the shop and broke for tea
I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight
Inside-out
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
In that down joint
Whats my line?
Im happy cleaning windows
Take my time
Ill see you when my love grows
Baby dont let it slide
Im a working man in my prime
Cleanin windows
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born, yeah
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Muddy Waters singin
Im A Rolling Stone
I went home
And read my Christmas Humphreys book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouacs Dharma Bums and On The Road
Whats my line?
Im happy cleaning windows, hey
Take my time
Ill see you when my love grows
Baby, dont let it slide
Im a working man in my prime
Cleanin windows
Say again
Whats my line?
Im happy cleaning windows
Well, I take my time
Ill see you when my love grows
Dont let it slide
Im a working man in my prime
Cleanin windows
Alright, cleanin
Whatd you say number
Number a-hundred and twenty-six
Alright, well be right tomorrow |
We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do
I kissed you on the lips once more
And we said goodbye just adoring the nighttime
Yeah, thats the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, I love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, I love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do |
Ill be your man
I’ll understand
Do my best to take good care of you
Yes I will
Youll be my queen
Ill be your king
And I’ll be your lover too
Yes, I will
Derry down green
Color of my dream
A dream thats daily
Coming true
Ill tell you
When day is through
I will come to you
And tell you of your many charms
And youll look at me
With eyes that see
And melt into
Each others arms
And so I come
To be the one
Whos always standing
Next to you
Reach out for me
So I can be alright
The one whos always reaching out for you
Yes I will, yes I will
Youll be my queen
I’ll be your king
And I’ll be your lover too |
Dont want to discuss it
Think its time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinking that Im strange
That case Ill go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst or what is best
Oh oh Domino
Roll me over, Romeo
There you go
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
I said oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino
Theres no need for argument
Theres no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didnt call
Or vice versa
That depends on wherever youre at
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
Oh oh Domino
Roll me over, Romeo
There you go
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Sayt again, oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino
Hey, mister DJ! I just wanna hear some
Rhythm and Blues music on the radio
On the radio, on the radio...
And the band! |
And theyll lay you down, low and easy
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas
And the miles that you traveled the distance
So believe no lies
Dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
And the business will shake hands and talk in numbers
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands
And every stranger you meet in the street will make demands
So believe no lies
Then dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
And well send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come right in on time, oh
And theyll talk to you while youre in trances
And youll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion
Dont it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes by surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
Mmm mmm
And well send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come right in on time, woah
And theyll lay you down, low and easy |
The fields are always wet with rain
After a summer shower when I saw you standin
Standin in the garden
In the garden wet with rain
You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
As we watched the petals fall down to the ground
And as I sat beside you I felt the
Great sadness that day in the garden
And then one day you came back home
You were a creature all in rapture
You had your key to your soul
And you did open that day you came back to the garden
The olden summer breeze was blowin against your face
The light of the Lords shinin on your countenance divine
And you were a violet colour as you
Sat beside your father and your mother in the garden
The summer breeze was blowin on your face
Within your violet you treasure your summery words
And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden
And you went into a trance
Your childlike vision became so fine
And we heard lil bells within the church
We loved so much
And felt the presence of the youth of
Eternal summers in the garden
And as it touched your cheeks so lightly
Born again you were and blushed
And we touched each other lightly
And we felt the presence of the Christ
Within our hearts in the garden
And I turned to you and I said
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father in the garden
Listen
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost
In the garden wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost
In the garden
In the garden wet with rain
Yeah, alright
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father in the garden |

They tell us that ignorance is bliss
I guess by those that control the media, it is
They own the media, they control the stories we are told
If you ever try to go against them, you will be ignored
Cause they control
They control
They control
They control the narrative, they perpetuate the myth
Keep on telling you lies, tell you ignorance is bliss
Believe it all and youll never get, nеver get wise
To thе truth, cause they control everything you do
Everything you do
Everything you do
Everything you do
They control the narrative, they perpetuate the myth
Keep on telling you lies, tell you ignorance is bliss
Believe it all and youll never get the truth
Never get wise, wise through their lies
Through their lies
Through their lies
They control the media
They control the media
They control the media |

Well its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I cant wait til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that youre never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear

Now listen, Julie baby
It aint natural for you to cry in the midnight
Aint natural for you to cry way into midnight through
Until the wee small hours long fore the break of dawn
Oh Lord
Now Julie, an there aint nothin on my mind
More further way than what youre lookin for
I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door
And looked into my eyes
Your little star struck innuendos
Inadequacies an foreign bodies
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain, oh Lord
So open up the window and let me breathe
I said, open up the window and let me breathe
Im looking down to the street below, Lord, I cried for you
I cried, I cried for you, oh Lord
The cool room, Lord is a fools room

Always laying in the cool room, man, laying in the cool room |
I can hear her heart beat from a thousand miles

And when I come to her thats where I belong
Yet Im running to her like a rivers song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Down the avenue just like we used to do
With our heads so high, smile at passers by
Then well softly sigh ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone
By the winding stream we shall lay and dream
Well make dreams come true if we want them to
Yes, all will come play the pipes and drum
Sing a happy song and well sing along
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone

Look at the flowers and the green grass so tall

Its just the hour on the wings of a dove
Thats just warm love

I cover the waterfront
Watching the sea
I cover the waterfront
I could see the ships coming in to the harbor
I could see the people getting off board
I could not see my love got off board
I cover the waterfront
An after a while
All the ships left the harbor
Heading for their next destination
I cover the waterfront
I waited all night long
In the pouring rain
Searching for my baby
I was drinking black coffee from a paper cup
And smoking 40 cigarettes, yeah
And when the sun in the sky
Came up early in the morning
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, bring may baby back
Bring my baby back
I still cover the waterfront
I cover the waterfront
Watching for my baby to come down
And after a while
I saw a ship coming down the ocean
Out of the fog
Rolling so, so, so slow
Must be my baby coming down
I cover the waterfront
And I saw my baby
Coming down, coming down the gangway
I said from the bottom of my heart
Thank you Lord for bringing my baby back home to me
I been so lonely, sitting in my room, by my telephone
Said baby, welcome back home!
Welcome back home!
After a while
The ship pulled in to the harbor
And she’d run run run to my arms
Said Johnny, I been waiting so long, so long
To come down
I know, I know, you’ll be waiting for me
Covering this old waterfront
Covering the waterfront
For me, me, me, me |
I walked in my greatcoat
Down through the days of the leaves
No before after, yes after before
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didnt I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
On and on and on and on we kept singing our song
Over newtonards and comber, gransha and the
Ballystockart road
With boffyflow and spike
I said I could describe the leaves for samuel and felicity
Rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didnt I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
Its easy to describe the leaves in the autumn
And its oh so easy in the spring
But down through january and february its a very different thing
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
I said I could describe the leaves for samuel and what it means to you and me
You may call my love sophia, but I call my love philosophy
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didnt I come to lift your fiery vision
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
Wee alfie at the
Castle picture house on the castlereagh road
Whistling on the corner next door where
He kept johnny mack browns horse
O solo mio by mcgimsey
And the man who played the saw
Outside the city hall
Pastie suppers down at daveys chipper
Gravy rings, barmbracks
Wagon wheels, snowballs |
Daddy read the good book
Through and through
Said the lords work
Is the only truth
It aint over the day you die
Youll live on
In the sweet bye and bye
This life is more than
Flesh and bone
Turn back now before youre gone
When you go your spirit lives on
This life is more than
Flesh and bone
Now I know my daddy was right
I read that good book
And Ive seen the light
Mama and daddy have passed and gone
Theyre still with me cause
Love lives on
This life is more than
Flesh and bone
Turn back now before youre gone
When you go your spirit lives on
This life is more than
Flesh and bone
The God I feed on
Is real as rain
More than words can ever explain
Well meet again some sweet day
Find me on this world we play
This life is more than
Flesh and bone
Turn back now before youre gone
When you go your spirit goes on
This life is more than
Flesh and bone |
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
And left me to come through
I headed for the right way
I knew exactly just what to do
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
And you lost and you lied
Wasnt very hard to do
But hurt me deep down inside
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you, oh
So real and so true
And hush-a-bye, dont ever think about it
Go to sleep dont ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
To the question answered yes
And you slapped me on the face
I turned around the other cheek
You couldnt really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
But hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye dont ever think about it
Go to sleep dont ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above
And it hurts so bad, hurts so bad
Dont ever think about it
Dont ever say a word
Close your eyes... |
I miss you so much, I cant stand it
Seems like my heart is breaking in two
My head says no but my soul demands it
Everything I do, reminds me of you
I miss you so much, in this house full of shadows
While the rain keeps pouring down my window too
When will the pain, recede to the darkness
From whence it has come, and Im feeling so blue
Aint goin down, no more to the well
Sometimes it feels like Im going to hell
Sometimes Im knocking on your front door
But I dont have nothing to sell no more
Seems like the spirit is pushing me onwards
Im able to see, where I tripped and went wrong
Ill just have to guess where my soul will find comfort
And I miss you so much when Im singing my song
Aint goin down, no more to the well
And sometimes it seems, Im going to hell
Youll find me knocking, on your front door
But I dont have nothing, to sell no more
Seems like my spirit is pushing me onwards
Til Im able to see where I tripped when I went wrong
Ill just have to guess where my soul will get comfort
I miss you so much when Im singing my song
I miss you so much, I cant stand it
Seems like my heart is breaking in two
My head says no, but my soul demands it
And everything I do, reminds me of you
Everything I do, reminds me of you
Everything I do, reminds me of you
Songwriter: Van Morrison |
Whenever God shines His light on me
Open up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
And I know everything is gonna be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for Him He is there
When I am lonely as I can be
And I know that God shines His light on me
Reach out for Him
Hell be there
With Him your troubles
You can share
If you live the life you love
You get the blessing from above
Heals the sick and He heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus name
Hell lift you up and Hell turn you around
And put your feet back on higher ground
Reach out for Him
Hell be there
With Him your troubles
You can share
Oh you can use His higher power
Every day and any hour
Heals the sick and He heals the lame
And He says you can heal it too in Jesus name
He lifts you up and He turns you around
Puts your feet back
On higher ground
Yeah, when He shines His light
Whenever God shines His light on you, on you
He is the way, He is the truth, He is the light, ooh
Put your feet back, put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, higher ground
Put your feet back, put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, ooh on higher ground
Put your feet back, put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, put your feet on higher ground
Put your feet back, put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back
Back |
Dont you love the sound
Of the last laugh, my friend
Dont you love the sound
Of the last laugh, at the end
Down in the gutter
With the mad old soldiers
Down in the scuppers
With the drunken sailors
Down in the gutter
With the mad old soldiers
But the last laugh, baby is yours
And dont you love the sound
Of the last laugh goin down
Games you thought youd learned
You neither lost nor won
The dreams have crashed and burned
You still keep on, keepin on
Out on the highway
With the road gang, workin
Up on a mountain
With a cold wind blowin
Out on the highway
Was a road band, workin
But the last laugh, baby is yours
And dont you love the sound
Of the last laugh, goin down
They had you cryin
And you came up smilin
They had you crawlin
And you came up flyin
They had you cryin
And you came up smilin
And the last laugh, baby is yours
And dont you love the sound
The last laugh goin down?
Well, dont you love the sound
Of the last laugh, goin down |
As I walked out, all the streets were empty
The government said everyone should stay home
And they spread fear and loathing and no hope for the future
Not many did question this very strange move
Well, on the government website from the 21st of March, 2020
It said COVID-19 was no longer high risk
Then two days later they put us under lockdown
Then why are we not being told the truth?
By all the media outlets and thе government lackeys
Why is this not big nеws? Why is it being ignored?
Why no checks and balances? Why no second opinions?
Why are they working and why are we not?

Hey kids dig the first takes
Aint that some inspiration
When sinatra sings against Nelson Riddle Strings
Then takes a vacation
Seen some hard times
Drawn some bad lines
No time for shoeshines
Hard Nose the Highway
I was tore down at the deads place
Shaved head at the organ
But that wasnt half as bad as it was oh no
Belfast and Boston
Put your money where your mouth is
Then we can get something going
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime
And leave one or two cards showing |
And well walk down the avenue again
And well sing all the songs from way back when
And well walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun
And well walk down the avenue in style

You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes

That is where It comes from
I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes
And the healing has begun
Were gonna make music underneath the stars
Were gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
Were gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has begun
Wait a minute, listen, listen

You standing on the street
Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah

Lets move on up behind this letter-box behind this door
Lets go in your front room
Lets play this Muddy Waters record you got there
If you just open up a little bit
And let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll
Were gonna stay out all night long
And then were gonna go out and roam across the field
Baby you know how I feel when the healing has begun
When the healing, when the healing
Were gonna stay out all night long
Were gonna dance to the rock & roll
When the healing when the healing has begun
Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll |
As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember, yeah
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
And everything looks so complete
When youre walking out on the streets
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Ooh, ooh-ooh wee
The wild night is calling
All the girls walk by dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passing by just stare with the wild wonder, yeah
And the inside jukebox roars just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When youre walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Ooh, ooh-ooh wee
The wild night is calling
Wild night is calling

Come on out and dance

Alright |
I wished I had you in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean to be by your side
But the sea is wide and I cant swim over
And neither have I wings to fly
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy days so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on like the melting snow
So Ill spend my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the salty sea
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But Ill sing no more now till I get a drink
Im drunk today and Im rarely sober
A handsome rover from town to town
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered
Come all ye young men and lay me down |
When you were a child
You were a tomboy
Your soul satisfaction
Way back in shady lane
Do you remember darlin?
And its the woman in you
And its the woman in you
Gimme soul satisfaction
And it takes the child in you to know
The woman and you are one
Were goin out in the country
To get down to the real soul
I mean the real soul people
Im talking about the real soul people
Were goin out in the country
Get down to the real soul
Were gettin out to the west coast
Shining our light into the days of bloomin wonder
Goin as much with the river as not, as not
Im goin as much with the river as not
Blake and the Eternals
Standin with the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
You dont pull no punches
But you dont push the river
Goin as much with the river as not
Were goin out in the West
Down to the cathedrals
Were goin out in the West
Down to the beaches
And the Sisters of Mercy
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
And William Blake and the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
You dont pull no punches, goin west
Goin as much with the river as not
You dont pull no punches
And you dont push the river
And we was contemplating Baba
William Blake and the Eternals
Goin down to the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece |

Come aboard |
Have to get back, have to get back the base
I need to talk to somebody I can trust
Too many cooks are tryin to spoil the broth
I cant feel it in my throat, thats all she wrote
Im not feeling it no more
Im not feeling it anymore
Not feelin it no more
Not feelin it anymore
When I was high at the party everything looked good
I was seein through rose-coloured glasses
Not seein the wood for the trees
I started out in normal operation
But I just ended up in doubt
All my drinking buddies, they locked me out
Im not feelin it no more
Im not feelin it anymore
No feelin it no more
Im tryin to give you the score
You see me up there baby, Im on the screen
But I know better now, its so unreal
If this is success then somethings awful wrong
Cause I bought the dream and I had to play along
Im not feelin it no more
Im not feelin it anymore
Im tryin to give you the score
Im not feelin it no more
We all know that money dont buy you love
You just get a job and somewhere to live
You have to look for happiness within yourself
And dont go chasin thinkin that it is somewhere else
Im not feelin it no more
Im not feelin it anymore
Baby Im tryin to give you the score
Im not feelin it no more
I was pretendin all the time
I was givin everybody what they wanted
And I lost my peace of mind
And all I ever wanted was simply just to be me
All you ever need is the truth
And the truth will set you free, yeah
Im not feelin it no more
Im not feelin it anymore
Im tryin to give you the score
Just like I did before
Im not feelin it no more
Im not feelin it anymore
Im not feelin it no more
Baby Im just trying to give you the score
Im not feelin it no more
Not feelin it anymore
Not feelin it no more
Not feelin it no more baby |

Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lift me up consume my darkness
Let me travel even higher
Im a dweller on the threshold
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spheres
Lift me up consume my darkness
When the midnight disappears
I will walk out of the darkness
And Ill walk into the light
And Ill sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
And I cross some burning ground
And Ill go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold |
I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Now the satellites confused
Cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy
Im not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technologys sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
The tide is turning
Thats it!
Now the past is over but you are not alone
Together well fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
Of macho bullshit and mediocrity |
Sailed on the Sloop John be
My granddaddy and me
Round Nassau town we did roam
Wed been drinkin all night
Well I got into a fight
Yeah and I feel so broke up
I want to go home
Hoist up the John be sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
And let me go home
I want to go home, I want to go home, yeah
Cause I feel so broke up, I want to go home
Yes I do
Well Captains a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he dont give a damn for grandpappy
No, nor me
He kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well I feel so broke up, I
I want to go home
Well pull up the John be s sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
And let me go home
I want to go home
Well, I want to go home
Cause I feel so broke up
I want to go home
I feel so broke up
Lord, that I want to go home
Home |
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 youre orphan
With his gun
Crying like a fire
In the sun
Look out baby
The same song comin 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 street
Is drawing crazy patterns
On your sheets
The sky, too, is fallin
Over you
And its all over now
Baby blue
Leave your stepping stones behind
Theres somethin that calls for you
Forget the debt youve left -
That will not follow you
Your lover who has just walked
Through the door
Has taken all his blankets
From the floor
The carpet, too
Is foldin over you
And its all over now
Baby blue
Its all over now, baby blue
Yeah yeah
Its all over, its all over now, baby blue
Its allllll
Its all over now
Its all over now, over now, baby blue... |
Where have all the rebels gone?
Hiding behind computer screens
Where’s the spirit, where’s the soul?
Where have all the rebels gone?
Why don’t they come out of the woodwork now?
One for the money, two for the show
It’s not very rock and roll
Where have all the rebels gone?
Where have all the rebels gone?
Waiting for someone else to make a move
Why are they sitting on the fence?
Well, it’s some kind of pretence
They’re not saying much at all
Where have all the rebels gone?
Where they really all that tough?
Or was it just a PR stunt?
One for the money, two for the show
Where have all the rebels gone?

Need a real live audience to perform

Linden Arden stole the highlights --
With one hand tied behind his back --
Loved the morning sun, and whiskey
Ran like water in his veins
Loved to go to church on Sunday
Even though he was a drinking man
When the boys came to San Francisco
They were looking for his life
But he found out where they were drinking
Met them face to face outside
Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet
Lord, he was a drinkin man
And when someone tried to get above him
He just took the law into his own hands
Linden Arden stole the highlights
And they put his fingers through the glass
He had heard all those stories many, many times before
And he did not care no more to ask
And he loved the little children like they were his very own
He Said, Someday it may get lonely.
Now hes livin, livin with a gun |
Like to tell you bout my baby

Out on the highways and the byways all alone
Im still searching for, searching for my home
Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road
And my head is aching and my hands are cold
And Im looking for the silver lining, silver lining in the clouds
And Im searching for
And Im searching for the philosophers stone
And its a hard road, its a hard road daddy-o
When my job is turning lead into gold
He was born in the back street, born in the back street jelly roll
Im on the road again and Im searching for
The philosophers stone
Can you hear that engine?
Oh can you hear that engine drone?
Well Im on the road again and Im searching for
Searching for the philosophers stone
Up in the morning, up in the morning
When the streets are white with snow
Its a hard road, its a hard road daddy-o
Up in the morning, up in the morning
Out on the job
Well youve got me searching for
Searching for the philosophers stone
Even my best friends, even my best friends they dont know
That my job is turning lead into gold
When you hear that engine, when you hear that engine drone
Im on the road again and Im searching for the philosophers stone
Its a hard road even my best friends they dont know
And Im searching for, searching for the philosophers stone |
Im kicking off from centre field
A question of being down for the game
The one shot deal dont matter
And the other ones the same
Oh! my friend I see you
Want you to come through
And shes standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
She leaving for an american
Suitcase in her hand
I said her brothers and her sisters
Are all on atlantic sand
Shes screaming through the alley way
I hear the lonely cry, why cant you?
And her batteries are corroded
And her hundred watt bulb just blew
Lallallal.. alright...huhuhhuh
She used to hang out at miss lucys
Every weekend they would get loose
And it was a straight clear case of
Having taken in too much juice
It was outside, and it was outside
Just the nature of the person
Now all you got to remember
After all, its just show biz
Lallalal...huhuh...lallal
Were just screaming through the alley way
I hear her lonely cry, ah why cant you?
And shes standing in the shadows
Canal street lights all turn blue
And shes standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
And shes standing in the shadows
Down where the street lights all turn blue
Hey, hey, yeah |
These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, theres only future
Theres only here, theres only now
Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
Oh the fires of spring are kindling bright
Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
Crying freedom in the night
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine, alright
These are days of the endless dancing
And the long walks on the summer night
These are the days of the true romancing
When Im holding you oh so tight
These are the days by the sparkling river
And His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one great magician
Turned the water into wine
These are the days now that we must savour
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever
Youve got to hold them in your heart

The wine beneath the bed
The things weve done and said
And all the memries
That come glancing back to me
In my loneliness
Youre standing in the bridge
Beyond that stretch but our love reach
And consciousness has found me sometimes wondering
Where youre at
Umm, take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
The way ya pulled the gate
Behind you when you said, It aint too late
Come on, lets swing the town and have a
Ball tonight
Yeah, hopin youd come through
And many others, too
And all the friends we used to have in days gone by
Im wondering
If youll take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
And when the lights went out there
No one was about
And all the country in full bloom
In the room we danced
And many hearts were torn
And when the word went round
That evrything was wrong
And just couldnt be put right, it
Tore me up, it tore me up, Lord
In slumber you did sleep
The window I did creep
And touch your raven hair
And sang that song
Again to you
You did not even wince
You thought I was the Prince
To come and take you from your misery
And lonely castle wall
Uhm, take me back again
Ah take me back one more time, Spanish Rose |

And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her thats where I belong
Yet Im running to her like a rivers song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love |
Rave on John Donne, rave on thy holy fool
Down through the weeks of ages
In the moss borne dark dank pools
Rave on down through the Industrial Revolution
Empiricism, the atomic and nuclear age
Rave on down through time and space
Down through the corridors
Rave on words on printed page
Rave on you left us infinity
And well-pressed pages for to feed
Drive on with wild abandon
Up tempo frenzied hues
Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass
Rave on, fill the senses on natures bright green shady path
Rave on Omar Khayyam, rave on Kahlil Gibran
Oh, what sweet wine we drinketh
The celebration will be held
We will partake the wine and break the holy bread
Rave on let a man come out of Ireland
Rave on, Mr. Yeats
Rave on down through thy Holy Rosy Cross
Rave on down through theosophy and the Golden Dawn
Rave on through the writing of a vision
Rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on
Rave on John Donne, rave on thy holy fool
Down through the weeks of ages
In the moss borne dark dank pools
Rave on down though the Industrial Revolution
Empiricism and the atomic and nuclear age
Rave on, on printed page |

But I didnt know what I said would stick like glue
What I said in the days gone by
Well they tried to stitch me up
So many words I said, I said so long ago
Well, we were oh so young and foolish then
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow
For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love
For the days of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by
And hopefully we will keep on growing and growing
Baby, til we reach the sky

For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by
I feel so sorry for the ones who lead
For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life
Sweep under everything, sweep everything underneath the rug
And theyre never free from conflict, from conflict and strife
Because they perpetuate some kinda lie, my love
Perpetuate the lie
But everything Im doin, I had to fight for it
Had to fight for it in the days gone by
There is no easy way out, my friend
You got to get used to it somehow
Everyhting you got in you life, right up til now
Somebody had to fight for it
You had to fight for it in the days gone by
Well, I go walkin up that hillside now
Where there heathers growing so wild
And Im gonna carry my child on my shoulders cross the river
For the sake of the days gone by
For the days of gone by, my dear
For the days of gone
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of the Auld Lang Syne
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna carry my child on my shoulders cross the river
Gonna keep on walkin
In the days of Auld Lang Syne
Have mercy now
Have mercy now
Have mercy, have mercy now
Gonna keep on keepin on
For the sake of the days gone by
Everything I have in my life right now
I had to fight for it somehow
Gotta keep on fighting today
For the sake of the days gone by
Oh, for old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
For the sake of days gone by
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne |
So we live out in our old van
Travel all across this land
Just me and you
Well end up hand in hand
Somewhere down on the sand
Just me and you
Just as free
Free as well ever be
Just as free
Free as well ever be
Drive until the city lights
Dissolve into a country sky
Just me and you
Lay underneath the harvest moon
Do all the things that lovers do
Just me and you
Just as free
Free as well ever be
Just as free
Free as well ever be
Ever be
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
And the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
When a fog horn blows I will be coming home baby
When a fog horn blows I want to feel it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
No we dont have a lot of money
No we dont have a lot of money
No we dont have a lot of money
No we dont have a lot of money
No we dont have a lot of money
No we dont have a lot of money
No we dont have a lot of money
All we need is love
Free as well ever be
Just as free
Free as well ever be
So we live out in our old van
Travel all across this land
Me and you |
We get it almost every night
And when that moon gets big and bright
Its supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They dont bark and they dont bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybodys feelin warm and bright
Its such a fine and natural sight
Everybodys dancing in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You cant dance and stay uptight
Its supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybodys feelin warm and bright
Its such a fine and natural sight
Everybodys dancing in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They dont bark and they dont bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Everybodys dancing in the moonlight
Everybodys feelin warm and bright
Its such a fine and natural sight
Everybodys dancing in the moonlight |
Well the summertime has gone
And the leaves are gently turnin
And my love I wanna take you
To the place heart-a-yearnin
Will you go, lassie go
And well all go together
In the wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go
And I will build my love a tower
At the foot of yonder mountain
And visit by the hour
From a lonely wooden tower
Will you go, lassie go
And well all go together
In the wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Come on
At the foot of yonder mountain
I will visit by the hour
With the lily of the valley
Go, will you go, lassie go
And well all go together
In the wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie go
Will you go
Will you go, will you go
Will you go, lassie go |
Youre the Queen of the slipstream
With eyes that shine
You have crossed many waters to be here
You have drank of the fountain of innocence
And experienced the long cold wintry years
Theres a dream where the contents are visible
Where the poetic champions compose
Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy, and
Will you still be my special rose?
Goin away far across the sea
But Ill be back for you
Tell you everything I know
Baby everything is true
Will the blush still remain
On your cheeks my love
In the light always seen
In your head?
Gold and sliver they placed
At your feet my dear
But I know you chose me instead
Goin away far across the sea
But Ill be back for you
Tell you everything I know
Baby everything is true
Youre the Queen of the slipstream
I love you so
You have crossed many waters to be here
And you drink at the fountains of innocence
An experience you know very well |

Oh aint it lonely
When youre livin with a gun
Well you cant slow down and you cant turn round
And you cant trust anyone
You just sit there like a butterfly
And youre all encased in glass
Youre so fragile you just may break
And you dont know who to ask
Oh aint it lonely
When youre livin with a gun
Well you cant slow down and you cant turn round
And you cant trust anyone
You just sit there like a butterfly
Youre well protected by the glass
Youre such a rare collectors item
When they throw away whats the trash
You can hang suspended from a star
Or wish on a toilet roll
You can just soak up the atmosphere
Like a fish inside a bowl
When the ghost comes round at midnight
Well you both can have some fun
He can drive you mad, he can make you sad
He can keep you from the sun
When they take him down, hell be both safe and sound
And the hand does fit the glove
And no matter what they tell you
Theres good and evil in everyone |
Jackie Wilson said
It was Reet-Petite
Kind of love you got
Knock me off my feet
Let it all hang out
Oh, let it all hang out
And you know
Im so wired up
Dont need no coffee in my cup
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
Watch this
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
Do-da-do-da-doo
Im in heaven
Im in heaven
Im in heaven
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
And when you walk
Across the room
You make my heart go
Boom, boom, boom
Let it all hang out
Baby, let it all hang out
And every time
You look that way
Honey child, you make my day
Let it all hang out
Like the man said
Let it all hang out
Watch this |
If you love me
You will give your heart
Why should be apart
If you love me
If you love me
You will know the truth
I wasnt born to lose
And I love you
Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me
If I love you
I will find the key
If its meant to be
Cause I love you
Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me
If I love you
I will find the key
If its meant to be
Cause I love you |
And as we walked
Through the streets of arklow
Oh the color
Of the day wore on
And our heads
Were filled with poetry
And the morning
A-comin on to dawn
And as we walked
Through the streets of arklow
And gay perfusion
In gods green land
And the gypsys rode
With their hearts on fire
They say we love to wander,
lord we love,
lord we love to roam...
And as we walked
Through the streets of arklow
In a drenching beauty
Rolling back til the day
And I saw your eyes
They was shining, sparkling crystal clear
And our souls were clean
And the grass did grow
And our souls were clean
And the grass did grow
And our souls were clean
And the grass did grow
And as we walked
Through the streets of arklow |
Chop that wood, carry water
Whats the sound of one hand clapping?
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
Every second, every minute
It keeps changing to something different
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
It says its non attachment
Non attachment, non attachment
Im in the here and now, and Im meditating
And still Im suffering, but thats my problem
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
Wake up!
Enlightenment says the world is nothing
Nothing but a dream
Everythings an illusion and nothing is real
Good or bad baby you can change it
Anyway you want you can rearrange it
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
Chop that wood and carry water
Whats the sound of one hand clapping?
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
All around baby, you can see
Youre making your own reality everyday because
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
One more time
Enlightenment. dont know what it is
Its up to you
Enlightenment. dont know what it is
Its up to you everyday
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
Its always up to you
Enlightenment, dont know what it is
Its up to you, the way you think |
Oh my common one ... with the coat so old
And the light in the head ... suffering so high
Take a walk with me ... among the regions
Among the regions
Let take a look
I was sitting down in a mystic church
In the mystic church at the Nottinghill Gate
Nottinghill Gate, I was sitting down
In the mystic church at the Nottinghill Gate
At the Westbourne Grove bus station
At the Swedenborg church at the Nottinghill Gate
I was thinking about it ... thinking about it...
Take you out, get you in my car
Gonna go for long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long ... drive
Take you down
To a town called Paradise
SO we can be FREE!
We gonna drink that wine
Gonna jump for joy
...In town called ... Paradise
I want to squeeze you tight
Make everything alright
Until we get that, until we get that, until we get that, until we get that, until we get that, until we get that, get that, get that, get that, get that, get that, get that, get that, get that get that get that
Squeeling feeling, squeeling feeling, sqeeling feeling
Go ahead and Scream!
Feel the silence...
Can you feel the silence?
In the mystic church...
Can you feel the silence?
Can you feel the silence?
In the mystic church
In the brotherhood of the light
At the Nottinghill Gate...
You can feel the silence in a mystic church
In the brotherhood of the light
Can you feel the silence?
Can you feel the silence?
Mystic church
Feel the silence
In the mystic church
Can you feel the silence? |
In Banbridge town in the County Down
One morning last July
From a boreen green came a sweet Colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid Ive seen like the brown Colleen
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feelin rare
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
whose the maid with the nut brown hair?
He smiled at me and he sayss, says he
thats the gem of Irelands crown
Its Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
Shes the star of the County Down.
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid Ive seen like the brown Colleen
That I met in the County Down
At the harvest fair shell be surely there
And Ill dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose
No pipe Ill smoke, no horse Ill yoke
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid Ive seen like the brown Colleen
That I met in the County Down |
