"Little Hands"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Little hands clappin', children are laughin'
Little hands clappin', all over the world
Piper is pipin', drummers are drummin'
Little hands clappin', all over the world
Little hands clappin', children are sharin'
Little loves lovin', all little boys and girls
Children are singin', the truths that they're bringin'
Freedom is ringin', all 'round the world
Come let us meet them
Ah, yes we will greet them
Little hands clappin', children are carin'
Piper is callin', all over the world
Out in the street, the sick that you meet
How many friends, do you call your own?
Come let us meet them
Yes we will greet them
Children are clappin', children are carin'
Children are shatterin', records and rules
Little hands carin', little hands sharin'
The old ones and the gold ones and the family jewels
Come let us meet them
Yes we will greet them
Little hands clappin', children are happy
Little hands lovin', all around the world
Little hands claspin', truth they are graspin'
A world with no pain for one and all
Children are learnin', their souls they are yearnin'
A nice place to play and no place to fall
Come let us meet them
Ah, yes we will greet them

"Cripple Creek"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
A cripple on his deathbed
And a day dream did ride
All past the streams of fire
On a pedal path did glide
He left his wheelchair spinning
Deeper in the mud
In it set his memories
In its body and its blood
An angel came to greet him
By his side she flew
Whispered, as a part of him
What he already knew
His head was spinning freely
And it was plain to see
His burden was himself, he bore
The sight his eyes could be
His death, it died quite easily
Right there, was gone for good
But he couldn't see his loved one
Like he thought he should
He thought if they were gone, said he
And this cannot be true
The search to find what wasn't there
Has brought him back to you
----------------------------------------
"Diana"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Oh, oh, Diana
Tears fall like rain
Oh, oh, Diana
I am in pain
This is my heart beat
Oh, Diana
You are a glove
Diana, I am in love
Oh, Diana
I see you clear
Oh, Diana
I beg you near
Oh, oh, Diana
I see you conquered
And I'm travelin'
Trying to get to you and I'll travel hard
Diana, Diana, Diana
Watch out now
Oh, Diana
Diana, Diana, Diana ......
----------------------------------------
"Margaret - Tiger Rug"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
It's Margaret, the daring song writer
She's got muscles in her eyes
She's got everything going for her there
So take a ride on her pen, step inside
Well, there goes Margaret, the daring ice skater
She skates the truth on the ice
If she wasn't so daring and dashing
Her lips would be chapped at half the price
It appears I sent you off to treatment
With the tiger by the tail
If he could be free
He wouldn't have stripes on him, like jail
Jailer comes in twice a day
And feeds him a hunk of meat
That is just the same
As you get out upon the street
Jungle's home, why isn't he free?
Just because his head is, doesn't mean his limbs are
That can mean the same as a monkey on a tree

"Weighted Down (The Prison Song)"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Weighted down by possessions, weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river, for you to come
My darlin', yer darnin' my action
Of when three month's, I was gone
But who's socks were you darnin', darlin'
While I been gone so long
Weighted down by possessions, weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river, for you to come
A best friend to your ear of true, said I was guilty of sin
Said my bein' gone was the best thing for you
But the truth, it all comes through, for me and my kin
It wasn't the best thing for me but was the best for him
Weighted down by decision, weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river, for you to come
Weighted down by possessions, weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river, for you to come
While I sat there wonderin', you thought that eyes were hid
And I had the honor of watching everything you did
So now I come with words of pain, to bring you news of life
If you can't find your woman, don't take another's wife
Waitin' down by possessions, waitin' down with a gun
Waitin' down by the river, for you to come
----------------------------------------
"War In Peace"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
It's a joy to know you're resting in peace
War in peace, what a funny combination
Will come to separation, since you believe
Good old spice it's nice to see you last, you're ahead
War in peace, what a funny combination
Will come to your coronation, this is clear
It's a joy to see you in your red risen dead
War in peace, will cross another generation
And the cosmic federation, sees you clear
----------------------------------------
"Broken Heart"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Broken heart be lovely
Broken on the ground
A knife stuck in the ribs of me
Would be better be found
Hangin' tree blowin' gently
A noose would be ignored
Then to stand upon the receivin' end
Of the right hand of the Lord
Like a thirsty cowboy
In a lake his tongue does rest
Jumps in and he cannot swim
And drowns himself to death
Or a frozen mountaineer
He chugs up to a stop
Catchin' his boot heel in a rock
Two miles from the top
An Olympic super swimmer
Who's belly doesn't flop
A super race car driver
Who's pit, it can't be stopped
A honey drippin' hipster
Who's bee cannot be bopped
Better to be rolled in oats
Than from the roll be dropped
Broken heart would satisfy
Broken in a mess
A severed eye would gratify
My soul, I must confess
I'd rather have no eyes at all
Be blind upon the floor
Then to stand upon the receivin' end
Of the right hand of the Lord
Then to stand upon the receivin' end
Of the right hand of the Lord
----------------------------------------
"All Come To Meet Her"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Hmmm... ah...
Cry out... hmmm... I, Amen... I, Amen...
All come to meet her now
And all come to meet her now
All come to meet her now
Won't you meet me too?
All come to meet her now
Won't you meet me now
All come to meet her now
Won't you come too?
Come on down!
Come on down!
All come to meet her
All come too
All come to meet her with you
----------------------------------------
"Books Of Moses"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Books of Moses, bringin' stone news
Wetting the water, weepin' on the sun
Books of Moses, got some splinters didn't you?
Books of Moses, brought me right here back to you
Flamin' heart, ain't it sweet
Lighting the world, at your feet
Books of Moses, myth and true
Books of Moses, bring me back to you
Hero's welcome, there stands your king
Where serpent shudders and the angels sing
Books of Moses, happen again
Yes, he knows us, welcome him, your friend
Books of Moses, brimstone news
Wet is the water, blood covering the sun
----------------------------------------
"Yin For My Yang"
(Also known as: Dixie Peach Promenade)
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
I could use me some yin for my yang
That would make everything all right
I will stay by your side by the day
You'll stay underneath me at night
I bought me some Zen food
To learn how to think
But I can't think of anything more that I'd adore
Than see you in the pink
I could use some bal for my lance
A little left for my hoochie koo
I've searched everywhere in heaven
But I never found a friend like you
I bought me all them magazines
Print I could not read
I took every bit of stuff from A to Z
Now you hear me
I could use some yin for my yang
That would make everything right
I will stay by your side for today
You'll stay underneath me tonight
----------------------------------------
"Lawrence Of Euphoria"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
I'm Lawrence, from Euphoria
I'll share your tent, pay your rent
It's worth every single cent
I'm Lawrence, from Euphoria
You'll rise from the deep
Come in your sleep
No more will you weep
I'm Lawrence, from Euphoria
There's Vivian, from Oblivion
She does it for free, for my friends and me
She's Vivian, I'm Lawrence
Lawrence, from Euphoria
There's Ellie Mae, from Californ-i-a
She does it all right but her lips are tight
She tucks me in to bed at night
She's Vivian, I'm Lawrence
Lawrence, from Euphoria
There's Ellie Mae, from Californ-i-a
She does it all right but her lips are tight
She tucks me in to bed at night
She's Vivian's twin sister, Ellie Mae
And I'm Lawrence from Euphoria

"Grey"
Seems that every time I talk to you
You have something else to do
If I were to open up with you
Would you call me the same as I call you
Frightful days that we are living in
But it seems if hopes get in your way
We'll take our time and show the life I count out
Open up the chance I have with you right there
Between my lips are words that surface through you
I'm just trying to get a message through you
To you, for you, I will
By you, saw you, know you
I do, you plan to do, if you
His lies, his lies come just to late
Colored white, and gold, and yellow, and red
In the timing of the soul that's right
Then we'll look at how talk about death is spread
Do you know you ask and you shall live
And die then you can turn to sin
And if I had a lovely home with a bunch of girls
With me, they can't help you
Believe me if I do what I did
I will have euphoria
To be sure
I don't give a damn
Live in a place do anything
"Afro"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, look at who's caught swearin'
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh I dread the damned
Do, do, da, da
Do, do, da, da
Do, do, da, da
Do, do, da, da
Do, do, da, da
Do, do, da
You came so softly as not to disturb your sleep
I will come into your dream tonight completely
Not to prevent one would sell to you dear
I would do anything at all for you
Let us start a nice old new organization
To try and be hands heaven from this civilization
Only trust in our destination, you need me
And only then I'd let you hide behind me
Do not let's be right as you have a few
Ask me what to do, and I'll come
Hmm.. Ask me what to do then, so softly
And if I know within' your eyes, can I
And if it don't work then, then I was kiddin' now
If it don't work then, then I was kiddin' now
----------------------------------------
"This Time He Has Come"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
This time, this last time
This time, this last time
It's been nice for you
Yeah, that it has, this time
This time, there'll be time, desperate night
Oh, this time he'll bring relief
He's come, I'll be waiting there for you
He's come, I fear for you, I fear for you
Say goodbye to all our answers, hanging on the vine
Say hello to new horizons, going away in time
I'm sure they were filled with love last night
I heard that you got free
Then I see you hanging on to me
[Oh! Oh!] Oh! And I can't live without it
I can't talk about it
And I can't sing about it, without you
Ow! Ooh! Ow! Ooh... I can't sing about it, without you
I can't tell how fast he's thinking
But it looked like a catastrophic traffic stop sign
You can't quite make up your mind
If you saw a better dream
I've got a message for you
If your foot goes down
When you see in the light
You can't put it with when
What you're thinking about
Has seen the light
----------------------------------------
"It's The Best Thing For You"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Oh, I'd like to take your clothes off
Underneath the Eisenhower Bridge
Yes, I'd like to throw them off
The highest point of the Tallahatchie Bridge
As it looks so much finer, than to be in Carolina
With no clothes on, hmmm...
Goodness knows...
It's the best thing for you darlin'
It's the best thing for us all
It's the best thing for you sweetheart
If you had no clothes at all
All the fellas at the store
All want some of what you have
Wouldn't it be a crime if you didn't share
'Specially when you got what everybody wants
But nobody's got but you
We're in the same grade school and I love you
I've loved you ever since I kicked over the kindergarten wall
And you were standin' on the other side
Peekin' in our bathroom, without any clothes on, dear
And I love you, yes I do
And when I get you here, I'll never let you go away
Cindy Lou's your middle name, dad was Francis Drake
Your mom, she lived in Florida for thirty years
Till she got bit by a poisonous rattle snake
I think you're just about fine for me
And if you're near, stand over here alone, with me
----------------------------------------
"Keep Everything Under Your Hat"
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
I found some other clothing
I need another to wear
I'm down the road again
I worked till my fingers got bare
Keep everything under your hat
Yeah but, but I love you just the same
Keep everything under your hat
You're where it's at and I love you
Ever since that first Saturday date
I showed up fifteen hours late
Well, keep everything under your hat
Don't tell your mother, where it's at
Mmmm see you soon
I'll be out soon
Keep everything under your hat
You'll find where you're at
Don't tell your brother or your sister
Just because your a brat
There was a time that I awoke to find you gone
You had split

"Furry Heroine"
(Also known as: Halo Of Gold)
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
Have you got a fine place to slip to
When you're feeling down?
Have you had a week or two, just to get your
Troubles down?
Slip behind a rock and it'll raise out to her
And times of the bowery
I found a lot of life and laughter with her grandfather
In the bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
And a mind of forty
I met her on a cold day
In a city far away
Where the world's about zero
And I saw at once into her soul
She smiled and called me her hero
Then like a walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I found a lot of life that day
With her grandfather in the bowery
'Cause I lie down like the wild
She had a halo of gold
Told me stories of her life and her courage was sublime
'Cause you're mine
I walk the line
Well, she comes down tiger's and elephant's teeth
Elephant's are climbin' the zoo
Monkeys and beggars and thiefs
And Little Orphan Annie is too
Everything is under the sun
It'd be you and I and everyone
But if I didn't like it like that way
I'd have to change it!
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm (etc)
Rearrange it!

"Givin' Up Things"
(Incorrectly referred to as: Doodle)
Words And Music by Alexander Lee Spence
Alexander Lee Spence Music/All Rights Reserved
I have given up
Singin' 'bout people, places and things
'Cause, I have peeked into the future
And what the future brings is nothings
And I love someone, very close to me
And if she' s listening in my head
As I am in hers, she would see
