Lyrics van The Waterboys
A Girl Called Johnny
I remember Johnny, hey
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny
Who changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was
To change or to be changed
I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell, white as a ghost
"Don't talk about life and death"
She said, "I've had enough of both"
A girl called Johnny
Who was not scared
They'd have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?
I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy, she got on it
Without looking back, there was barely a word
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
But the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz
Truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called Johnny built
Is now just so much ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand

A Home in the Meadow
Away, away, come away with me
Where the grass grows wild and the winds blow free
Away, away, come away with me
And I'll build you a home in the meadow
Come, come, there's a wondrous land
For the hopeful heart and the willing hand
Come, come, there's a wondrous land
Where I'll build you a home in the meadow
The stars, the stars, oh, how bright they'll shine
On a world the Lord himself designed
The stars, the stars, oh, how bright they'll shine
On the home we will build in the meadow
Come, come, there's a wondrous land
For the hopeful heart and the willing hand
Come, come, there's a wondrous land
Where I'll build you a home in the meadow

A Life of Sundays
Hold me, before I go under
Hear me, before I drown
Sharpen your sense of wonder
Listen to what I've found
Here we are again
Two old lovers
Two old friends
Just when you need them
A devil was standing on my shoes
Somehow I know how to defeat him
Since I tumbled into you
You taught me love and pain
And the unsung King of Ireland
Says the same thing
Wherever you find it
The whole world wide over
The same thing from the same old cause
Gotta talk about that same thing, I cannot define it
It is the same thing and it always was
It struck me sad and strange
All that ever stays the same is change
And I dreamed, I wandered
Wayward as a restless wave
Spanning from here to yonder
Most spectacularly saved
Dream and life entwined
The old day cracks and crumbles and it's
Fine to be in your company
Funny to be in your day
A miracle just to be with you
Glad to be going your way
Were these unfolding plans
Designed and drawn by mortal hands?
Never in a life of Sundays
Would I have seen me here

A Man Is in Love
A man is in love, how do I know?
He came and walked with me and he told me so
In a song he sang and then I knew
A man is in love with you
A man is in love, how did I hear?
I heard him talk too much whenever you're near
He whispered your name when his eyes were closed
A man is in love and he knows
A man is in love, how did I guess?
I figured it out while he was watching you dress
He'd give you his all, if you'd but agree
A man is in love and he's me

A Pagan Place
How did he come here?
Who gave him the key?
Slipped it in his hand
So secretly
And who put the color
Like lines on his face?
Brought him here
To a pagan place
Now, who shot his arrow?
How high did it fly?
When he tipped it with poison
Did he even know why?
What unseen hand
Brought him face to face, to face to face with
All this and more
In a pagan place?
Come into my parlor
Sail in at my shore
Drink my soul dry
There is always more
There is always more after now
Fly on my carpet
Look into my face
See the heart of man
In a pagan
In a pagan
In a pagan
In a pagan
Pagan
Pagan

All the Things She Gave Me
All the things, all the things she gave me
All the things, all the things she gave me
I wrapped them up in a big brown box
Tied it with ribbon, drove to the docks
Checked my time by the old town clock, all the things
I saw the watchman, he was blowing into cupped hands
As he walked to the car, he said
"Where do you think you're drivin' to, Son?
All good folks are in bed and a day's work is done"
I said, "I'm just looking for someplace to burn
All the things, all the things that she gave me
All the things that she gave me
Where do I put them? Where can I hide them?
Where I won't have to see them?"
It's dark as hell here, this city's grown cold
The devil's in drag playing poker with souls
The lots are all empty, the last man is out
The moon's made of cheese and God is a boy scout
When I go to sleep, I'll be dreaming about all the things
Then I'll dream about churches with great tall spires
Cathedrals and candles, chimneys and choirs
I'll dream about that place
Where I set fire all the things, all the things that she

Be My Enemy
Well, the dawn is howling and the mainframe shakes
Feel like I've been sleeping in a cellar full of snakes
My wings have been clipped, my shoes have been stuck with glue
Well, if you'll be my enemy, I'll be your enemy too
Now I've got goons on my landing, thieves on my trail
Nazis on my telephone willing me to fail
They were all sent by someone, obviously you
Well, if you'll be my enemy, I'll be your enemy too
Now I've a bucketful of Babylon, I got a handful of lead
I'm gonna put them in a gun, man, point it at your head
Because you stole all my friends and you gave me the buffalo blues
Well, if you'll be my enemy, I'll be my enemy too
Now from the slime on your tongue to the nails on your toes
From the scales on your skin to the stains on your clothes
You're gonna make me have to do something that do not want to do
But if you'll be my enemy, I'll be your enemy too
My hands are tied, nailed to the floor
Feel like I'm knocking on the unknown door
Gun at my back, blade at my throat
Keep finding hate mail in the pockets of my coat
Well, I've been trying to grow, I been cooling my heels
I've have been working in the treadmill, I've been working in the fields
And I can't get to sleep and I can't catch my breath
I can't stop talking and I look like death
But I will put right this disgrace, I will rearrange you
'Cause if you'll be my enemy, I'll be your enemy too
If you'll be my enemy, I'll be your enemy too
Be my enemy
Be my enemy, be my enemy
Be my enemy, be my enemy

Church Not Made With Hands
Bye-bye shadowlands, the term is over
And all the holidays have begun
Now, she walks in fresh fields
Her tracks are on the land
She is everywhere and no place
When it's dark and evening falls, she moves among men
They would seek to have her as a prize
But she is in the shadows
The ocean and the sand
She is everywhere and no place
Her church not made with hands
Not contained by man
She is dancing high as clouds, faster than the arrow
As straight as any crows that flies
Across great seas she travels
Up through rising lands
She is everywhere and no place
Her church not made with hands
Not contained by man
Isn't that a pretty sun
Setting in a pretty sky?
Will we stay and watch it darken?
Will we stay and watch it darken?
The church not made by hands
Not contained by man
That precious place
Unmade by man

Corn Circles
Corn circles, appearing all over the land
Corn circles, appearing all over the land
Nobody knows where they come from
Nobody understands
Corn circles, mysterious symbols in the fields
Corn circles, mysterious symbols in the fields
No one knows are they phony
Or maybe are they real?
Corn circles, hey
Corn circles, hey
Corn circles, is somebody playing a trick?
Corn circles, pixies, witches, hoaxers take your pick
Throw a few theories out there
See what sticks
Corn circles, oh
Corn circles, hey
Corn circles, patterns in the gold
Corn circles, pretty patterns in the gold
Like something out of the future
Or something very old
Corn circles, hey

Crown
I've had money, and I've lost it
Seen an ocean, nearly crossed it
I have been to another world and I have returned
And for every high joy a hard lesson learnt
But when love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown
I've had power, I've used and abused it
Tasted glory, I have wooed and refused it
Tried to live in a sacred way, I did and I did not
And for everything I've lost, there's been something else I've got
But when love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown
I've been up and I've been down
Sometimes almost level with the ground
Once in every hundred years I can
Still remember who I am
Been in danger, I tried to face it
I saw a mirage, and for seven years I chased it
I'm not through with my changes
I've got a long way still to run
I'm going to play this show even if nobody comes
But when love comes tumbling down
When love comes tumbling down
When love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown

December
December is the coolest month
This time for once my cheeks are warm
After long years in the monkey house
I am ready for the storm
Let them throw all their cannonballs
Let all their strongmen come
I'm ready to go anywhere
Through venom, sick and scum
December isn't always cold
This year she's mine, I know why
Somewhere a flower has to grow
For every flower that dies
I'm stricken with fever
But my heart is strong as steel
I'm ready to go anywhere
I can believe, I can feel
December is a trusted friend
I always recognize her face
It's a plague of fool thrown aside forever
By her soft and silent grace
She is reckless as a Mayday
Gentle as a stone
She's ready to go anywhere
To carry me back home
December fell deep in the bleak
Winter time when Jesus Christ
Howled to save your baby's howl
Primal truth as pure as ice
And though we crucified him on a cross
And dragged his word from payer to curse
He was able to go anywhere
He was almost one of us
He was almost one of us
He's one of us

Don't Bang the Drum
Well here we are in a special place
What are you gonna do here?
Now we stand in a special place
What will you do here?
What show of soul are we gonna get from you?
It could be deliverance or history
Under these skies so blue
Could be something true
But if I know you, you'll bang the drum like monkeys do
Here we are in a fabulous place
What are you gonna dream here?
We are standing in this fabulous place
What are you gonna play here?
I know you love the high life, you love to leap around
You love to beat your chest and make your sound
But not here man, this is sacred ground
With a power flowin' through
And if know you, you'll bang the drum like monkeys do
Here we stand on a rocky shore
Your father stood here before you
I can see his ghost explore you
I can feel the sea implore you
Not to pass on by
Not to walk on by
And not to try
Just to let it come
Don't bang the drum
Just let it come
Don't bang the drum
Just let it come
Don't bang the drum
Do you know how to let it come now?
Don't bang the drum now
Just let it come now
Come now, come now, come now

Dumbing Down the World
I'm dumbing down the world
Yes, I'm dumbing down the world
And my head is held high
And the glint in my eye
And my arrogance rumbles before me
I'm dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down, I'm dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down the world
And my thoughts are banal, like a stagnant canal
And my sycophants shamble behind me
I'm dumbing down the world
Yeah, I'm dumbing down the world
I'm dumbing down, I'm dumbing down the world
Yeah, I'm dumbing down the world
And my power is come around, is come around
Yes! My hour is come around, is come around - look around
I'm dumbing down the world
Yes, I'm dumbing down the world
And my works are designed to suck blood from your mind
For you energy feeds and sustains me

Fisherman's Blues
I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
And its bitter memories
Casting out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearin' down on me
Save the starry sky above
With light in my head
You in my arms, woo
I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin' fevered train
Crashing a-headlong into the heartland
Like a cannon in the rain
With the beating of the sleepers
And the burnin' of the coal
Counting the towns flashing by
In a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
You in my arms, woo
Tomorrow I will be loosened
From bonds that hold me fast
That the chains all hung around me
Will fall away at last
And on that fine and fateful day
I will take thee in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms, woo
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
And woo, woo

Gala
Gala hangs from the window frame dressed in black and white
Her face is colorless in the moonlight
She turns around and her lips move but the words just drop away
She leans on the back of a chair and her arms begin to sway
She and I can hear voices talking in the room next door
Saying things we used to say that we can't believe in any more
We've seen too many castles crumble, made too many innocent mistakes
Who could have known that one house could hold so much heartbreak?
And then the clock bell rings, the wind blows in
Gala makes for the door
Her eyes blaze and her hands are shaking
She opens her mouth and roars
Gala doesn't want, Gala doesn't need
She claws at her face with her nails till it bleeds
She runs down the stairs in her poor bare feet
She's too woman to cry or go down on her knees
Then her mother is there and her voice is soft
She pulls Gala close
She soothes Gala's cuts and gently chides and
Gala knows
That Gala shouldn't worry, she needn't be afraid
Because there are sailors on the sea tonight in ships that God made
Look, they cast out the line with a heave two-three-four
And they sing as they pull, our lost souls aboard

And then the clock bell rings, the wind blows in
Gala makes for the door
Her eyes blaze and her hands are shaking
She opens her mouth and roars
Gala doesn't want, Gala doesn't need
She claws at her face with her nails till it bleeds
She runs down the stairs in her poor bare feet
She's too woman to cry or go down on her knees
Then her mother is there and her voice is soft
She pulls Gala close
She soothes Gala's cuts and gently chides and
Gala knows
That Gala shouldn't worry, she needn't be afraid
Because there are sailors on the sea tonight in ships that God made
Look, they cast out the line with a heave two-three-four
And they sing as they pull, our lost souls aboard

Glastonbury Song
I dreamed myself from the sultry plains
To the old green square back in old Maybole
I rode the wind up to Stornaway
Paused at the peak, pacified my soul
Caught the bus in the fiery fort
I made it to the mansion on the Boyne
See I come around to the ancient ways
I took a tip from the Buddha boy
I just found God
Yeah, I just found God
Yeah, I just found God where he always was
We came down from the hill of dreams
Bernadette, mother earth and you and me
Through Carraroe, down the wild wood side
Blinding our eyes in the shallow seas
Drank fire with the King of the Blues
Plugged into the medicine way
Took a long last look at Crazy Horse
Push now for a golden age
I just found God
Yeah, I just found God
Yeah, I just found God where he always was
Found myself on the roof of the world
Just awaiting for to get my wings
Strange angel in the changing light
Said, "Brother, you forgot something"
My heartbeat from the inside out
So lucky just to be alive
Can you tell what I'm talking about?
Any day now the sun's gonna rise
I just found God
Yeah, I just found God
Yeah, I just found God where he always was
Hey, I just found God where he always was
There is a green hill far away
I'm going back there one fine day
There is a green hill far away
I'm going back there one fine day
There is a green hill far away
I'm going back there one fine day
There is a green hill far away
I'm going back there one fine day
One fine day
One fine day
One fine day

Going to Paris
We are going to Paris
In a ship with red sails
As the storm gathers slowly
We eat fish heads and snails
The mate jumps up, throws down a line
To man overboard for the ninetieth time
And then he says with a wink
"Sometimes I think I've been doing this forever"
We are going to Paris
In a ship called The Marlene
There are signs in the sky at night
That the captain says he's seen
I keep books under my pillow
And read them before I sleep
Strange places I go to
Strange companies I keep
We are going to Paris
We are one and thirty strong
I can feel it in the air
We'll be there before long
The wind howls cold like a man insane
Insane
We are going to Paris
It rains and it rains

Good News
Drop your guns
And hear the news
The war is won
And we've called a truce
The key is found
Then the circle complete
And the higher ground
Is beneath our feet
Like the turn of a page
Or a change of gear
A brand new age
Is already here
And even while
Men pursue their doom
A magical child
Is kicking in the womb
I'm preparing for birth
I'm not the only one
I'm a part of the earth
I'm a drop of the sun
I'm in step with the stars
I'm in league with the land
I'm a functioning part
Of the Master's plan

Has Anybody Here Seen Hank?
I ain't here for to do any business
I got nobody special to thank
I'm trying to find
A friend of mine
Has anybody here seen Hank
Well, he's sure to be wearing a Stetson
He's as long and as thin as a plank
He's got a fistful of charm
And a gun beneath his arm
Has anybody here seen Hank
Now he ain't in the back of a limo
And he ain't in his bed
He ain't in jail
He ain't out on bail
He ain't getting out of his head
I don't care what he did with his women
I don't care what he did when he drank
I want to hear just one note
From his lonesome old throat
Has anybody here seen Hank
Has anybody here, has anybody here

Higher in Time
From the mountain is steep, the ditches are deep
The task in hand is making us weep
But here's a promise I intend to keep
Seed it in your mind and say it each night
Before you sleep
We will climb higher in time
You've got a head full of trouble and a ship to build
You believe you won't make it but you know you will
You feel you need your cup refilled, well
Fill it out of mine
We'll drop the defenses, pool our skill
And we will climb higher in time
Well, I've been to the bottom and I've been on the train
I've slept in the gutter with my head in a drain
I've been brutally proud, I've been mortally shamed
But this is not a crime
I'm just learning, my friends that it's all in the game
And we will climb higher in time
Higher in time
Climb higher in time
Climb higher in time
Climb higher in time

His Word Is Not His Bond
{Just let me tell you what a liar will do
He's always comin' with something new
He'll steal your heart with false pretensions
Makin' out like he's your bosom friend}
He lives in a waste
Void of culture and taste
His eye on a prize beyond
His every word
Is in the right place
But his word is not his bond
His face is comely
His heart it bleeds
Yet it's but a mantle he has donned
Mark him only
By his deeds
For his word is not his bond
I'd love to take him
Out of his room
And gently break him
I'd love to see him dance!
His protege deals
In confusion and fog
Of power he is fond
Wheels within wheels
Like master, like dog
His word is not his bond
I'm trying to swim
But I'm caught in the shallows
And I sense that I've been conned
Deliver him
To the gallows!
His word is not his bond
His word is not his bond!

How Long Will I Love You?
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you are
How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you

I Will Not Follow
Say that you will carry the torch
Say that you will beat the winning drum
You'll be there when the saints roll in
With a back made of rubber, half made out of tin
How many times does
The snake crawl out of its skin?
You change your spots
But I will not
You say you'll put your trust in that old American flag
You say there is still no place like home
That you'll still go to war when your papers come
Surrender your nerve to a Gatling gun
Come back home maimed
Tell everyone you'll be happy
With the time you've got
But I will not
I will not follow
I will not follow
I will not follow
No
You say that you'll wear the colors, blue and grey
You say you'll wear the colors, black and red
You wear whichever color shines most, bright so
You can shine like Blake's eternal tiger in the night
You say that you will carry the torch
You say that you will beat the winning drum
You say that there is still no place like home
No place like home, sweet home
You say that everyone
Gotta change their spots
But I will not
No, I will not

In Search of a Rose
Where will I wander and wonder
Nobody knows
But wherever I'm a-going, I'll go
In search of a rose
Whatever the will of the weather
And whether it shines or snows
Wherever I'm a-going, I'll go
In search of a rose
I don't know where it's found
But I don't mind
As long as the world spins around
I'll take my time
I'll savor the softness of summer
I'll wrap up when winter blows
And wherever I'm a-going, I'll go
In search of a rose

I don't even wanna say her name

It Should Have Been You
Can I believe my ears?
Is this really you?
Pacing the floor with one eye on the door
Watching the winners go to
Why do you hang back now?
Why'd you hesitate?
You know fires don't burn
For he who waits
Out of all the people
That I ever knew
If one should have made it
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
I know who I'm looking for
But I don't believe my eyes
The sight of you with your head hung low
Is a sick, sad surprise
Why do you hang back now?
Why'd you hesitate?
How dare you throw it all away
Then tell me, "Aw man, it must be fate"
Out of all of the people
That I ever knew
There had to one I could believe in
And it should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
If there had to one
It should have been you
A gift that dies is a tragic thing
And it happens all the time
But a gift that's wasted
Thrown to hell is the
Worst of stupid crimes
I saw you hang back now
I watched you hesitate
You're a well respected man
But bullshit, you could've been great
Out of all the people
I ever knew
There should have been one
And it should have been you

Killing My Heart
Now he's brought down the rain
And the Indian summer is through
You'll be dancing down the country
In the morning time if I know you
You ain't calling me to join you
And I'm spoken for anyway
But you'll be killing my heart
When you go away
Shall we gather by the river
For to hear the lovely thunder crash ?
Shall we sail now in your speeding bonnie boat
Here and gone like a splash ?
You will see me, small, receding
Mouth hung open words I cannot say
You'll be killing my heart
When you go away
Mike Rogers left his whiskey
And the night is very very very young
I've much to say and more to tell
The words will soon be spilling from my tongue
I'll rave and I will ramble
I'll do everything but make you stay
You'll be killing my heart
When you go away
[Incomprehensible]

Let It Happen
Such a sad procession
Winding down the lane
And what a strange impression
Is branded on my brain
A band was playing, endless, mindless
It was like a hooligan's lament
It was dumb, but it was timeless
I still don't know what it meant
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
Behold the lights of London
The skipper said that his hands shook
His aura eaten by his jealously
And all the drugs he took
He said, "This is the real world buddy
Toughen up your ass, or it'll break"
I said, "I'm not your buddy, buddy
And your real world is a fake"
Here comes the peace campaigner
She says the end justifies her means
Her words so full of reason fell
Like napalm on my dreams
I said, "Peace is not a word, never"
She calls me traitor, I just grin
I said, "You've gotta live it every moment
Or else you're just sucking wind"
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
The DJ casts his malediction
As the wedding guests appear
It was as cruel as any fiction
I still carry the souvenir
The DJ took his vengeance
As the wedding guests arrived
There was malice in his handshake
Quicksand in his eyes
As he slunk across the courtyard
From far off I heard a horn
Somewhere in the bleak mid-distance
Something beautiful is born
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
I stumbled down a street of shadows
A black alleluia split the night
[Unverified] and priests were playing strip jack
Underneath the cruel lamplight
I came upon a weeping soldier
He said, "I'm all washed up now, huh"
But when I glanced across his shoulder
He held a royal flush
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
I'm still here, I'm still wheeling
I'm who I thought I was, or just about
I'll be walking down this boulevard
Until my legs give out
Thoughts like storms and seas are raging
I know it is a matter of degree
But it's not the world outside that's changing
It's me
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
Over me, over me
Over me, over me
Over me, over me
Grace is effected over me

Toughen up your ass, or it'll break"
I said, "I'm not your buddy, buddy
And your real world is a fake"
Here comes the peace campaigner
She says the end justifies her means
Her words so full of reason fell
Like napalm on my dreams
I said, "Peace is not a word, never"
She calls me traitor, I just grin
I said, "You've gotta live it every moment
Or else you're just sucking wind"
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
The DJ casts his malediction
As the wedding guests appear
It was as cruel as any fiction
I still carry the souvenir
The DJ took his vengeance
As the wedding guests arrived
There was malice in his handshake
Quicksand in his eyes
As he slunk across the courtyard
From far off I heard a horn
Somewhere in the bleak mid-distance
Something beautiful is born
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
I stumbled down a street of shadows
A black alleluia split the night
[Unverified] and priests were playing strip jack
Underneath the cruel lamplight
I came upon a weeping soldier
He said, "I'm all washed up now, huh"
But when I glanced across his shoulder
He held a royal flush
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
I'm still here, I'm still wheeling
I'm who I thought I was, or just about
I'll be walking down this boulevard
Until my legs give out
Thoughts like storms and seas are raging
I know it is a matter of degree
But it's not the world outside that's changing
It's me
And whatever needs to happen
Let it happen, let it be
Through all I am protected
Grace is effected over me
Over me, over me
Over me, over me
Over me, over me
Grace is effected over me

Love Anyway
Hey, hey
[Incomprehensible]
So you crashed the plane
And there's hell to pay
I'm making it plain
I love you anyway
You made a fool
Out of me today
I'm breaking the rule
I love you anyway
You threw the blame
What a role to play
My story's the same
I love you anyway
You dealt the blow
And you burst the ball
I'm letting you know
I love you most of all
Magic we chase only to find
It comes from a place higher than mind
Higher than dust, but only just
It hangs on the cusp
I can hear you scream
Like a branded slave
It's only a dream
I love you anyway
You've got a war to wage
Chief to obey
Foe to engage
I love you anyway
You hunker down
Feeling small
Judging the clown
I love you most of all
I picture you with the eye of my mind
A portrait in blue, unravaged by time
Beauty undimmed and through your pale skin
The beauty within
So you beat the child
Sent him away
Beauty defiled
I love you anyway
You tricked the king
Cut him where he lay
Unthinkable thing
I love you anyway
You held the jewel
And you let it fall
Prince of a fool
I love you most of all
Over the wind, under the hill
Wing upon wing, love over will
When the big me meets the big you
The things we will do
I'll make the time
If you name the day
Trouble or shine
I love you anyway
I think of you
As a child of clay
Whatever you do
I love you anyway

Malediction
I am walkin' in the blast rays of the setting sun
Whistling a hangman's tune with head held high, swinging my gun
I say this little boy is angry, I say this little boy is mad
This little boy comes to destroy
Cold-eyed, grim-faced in swathes of vengeance clad
And the black cock crows
And a dead wind blows
In my wake are seven women who tried to steal my soul
In my belly six wild wolves curse and howl from their foul hole
I say no earthly will may stop me, I say no earthly will may try
No earthly will may halt the spill
Of blood from wounds and tears from grieving eyes
And the black cock crows
And a dead wind blows
Below me burn the city lights in fires of pearls and jewels
I'm climbing down the city walls
Unseen, unfussed the sentries must be fools
I say all pleasantries are over, I say all pleasantries are past
My enemies, you pimps and thieves, prepare to meet your nemesis at last
And the black cock crows
And the dead wind blows

Medicine Bow
There's a black wind blowing
A typhoon on the rise
Pummeling rain
Murderous skies
I'm gonna take my books
I'm gonna wear my coat
I'm gonna find my scarf
Wrap it around my throat
And you can come with me
Through the driving snow
We're gonna ride on up to
Medicine bow
Well, I spent too long
Just stuck on the shore
There's a man in my head
But he isn't me anymore
I'm gonna find me a ship
Stow away on a boat
I'm gonna burn all the words
And letters and cards that I ever wrote
And you can sail with me
Where the current flows
We're gonna move on up to
Medicine bow
I'm gonna change my colors
Cancel my things
Stop my squawking
Grow some wings
Well, I will not sleep
And I will not rest
I will put my soul
And my will to the test
I'm gonna tug at my tether
I'm gonna tear at my lead
I'm gonna test my knowledge
In the field of deeds
And you can run with me
Fast as we can go
Over the hill to
Medicine bow

My Love Is My Rock in the Weary Land
My love is my rock in the long, low weary land, yeah
My love is my rock in the long, low weary land, in the weary land
My love is my rock in the long, low weary land
None of this moves me
I should be weeping but it only hurts when I yawn
I let it blow through me and it's gone
I'm dressed like a scarecrow
Stripped of all my powers as if some judge in judgement said
"Off with his great coat and his head"
Hey, my love is my rock in the long low weary land, yeah
My love is my rock in the long low weary land, my love is my rock
My love is my rock in the long low weary land
Meaningless movies
On the screen behind the band that's blowing, throwing shapes
Half of the music is on tape
My mentor and champion
Is busy tilting at the windmills of his stately home
The demon he's grappling is his own, oh
My love is my rock in the long low weary land
My love is my rock in the long low weary land
My love is my rock in the long low weary land
My love is my rock in the long low weary land
His letter lies open
His accusations flow like poison from his every word
My heart would be broken but for her
The fag end of winter
I'm in shock, I'm on the ropes, I don't know what's to come
She plucks the splinter from my thumb, hey
My love is my rock in the long low weary land, weary land
My love is my rock in the long low weary land, my love is my rock
My love is my rock in the long low weary land, in the weary land
Yes, my love is my rock in the long low weary land

Old England
A man looks up on a yellow sky
And the rain turns to rust in his eye
Rumors of his health are lies
Old England is dying
His clothes are a dirty shade of blue
And his ancient shoes, worn through
He steals from me and he lies to you
Old England is dying
Still he sings an Empire's song
Still he keeps his navy strong
And he sticks his flag where it all belongs
Old England is dying
You're asking what makes me sigh now
What it is makes me shudder so
Well, I just freeze in the wind
And I'm numb from the pummeling of the snow
That falls from high in yellow skies
Where the well loved flag of England flies
Where the homes are warm and the mothers sigh
Where comedians laugh and babies cry
Where criminals are televised, politicians fraternized
Journalists are dignified and everyone is civilized
And children stare with heroin eyes, heroin eyes, heroin eyes
Old England, old England, old England is dying, dying
Evening has fallen, swans are singing
The last of Sunday's bells is ringing
The wind in the trees is sighing
And old England is dying

Pan Within
Come with me on a journey beneath the skin
Come with me on a journey under the skin
We will look together for the pan within
Close your eyes, breathe slow and we'll begin
Close your eyes, breathe slow and we will begin
To look together for the pan within, within
Swing your hips, loose your head and let it spin
Swing your hips, loose you head and let it spin
And we will look together for the pan within
Close your eyes, breathe slow we'll begin
Close your eyes, breathe slow and we will begin
To look together for the pan within
Put your face in my window
Breathe a night full of treasures the wind is delicious
Sweet and wild with the promise of pleasure
The stars are alive and nights like these
Were born to be sanctified by you and me
Lovers, thieves, fools and pretenders
And all we gotta do, all we gotta do, all we gotta do
All we gotta do, all we gotta do and all we gotta do is surrender
All we gotta do is surrender, surrender, surrender
Come with me on a journey under the skin

Preparing to Fly
I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
Well I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream, yeah
I'm in love all over again, I'm head over heels
I can't even begin to tell you how it feels
She lives on a rock surrounded by light
She's young and she's wild and she's treating me right
I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream
I shed some light, changed my address
I haven't felt so great since I first went West
I've got brilliant intentions, unthinkable plans
I've got sparks and electric shocks just exploding in my hands
I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream
I'm back in the saddle, I'm out in the clear
I got no regrets, I've got nothing to fear
I've battled my demons, came out on top
I'm gonna love you as hard as I can, never gonna stop

Rags
Everything is rags
And there's nobody to blame but me
And it would be so easy
If there was no one to hurt but me
But now everything that I do
Coming out of me will just tear through you
In and out of you
Up and down your life like a curse
Cast by the only son of rags
Who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters
But he wanted nothing more, my loved one
Than to wrap you up in joy
But it never be with me, you and I are like two worlds
Not meant to collide
Death to each other
In the unraveling of time
So tell me, how do you, how do you
How do you, how do you like it?
Ooh, what kind of, what kind of
What kind of dream would you call it?
To have one foot in Eden, one foot in hell
To be always numb, plagued by demons
Summoned by angels at the same time
Endlessly
But I will burn me, right out of this place
I will lay you down to sleep, so when you wake
I'll be gone and you will remember nothing
You will remember nothing

Ready for the Monkeyhouse
Your face is like the moment when the sexist hero traps
The slippy villain with the weasel face, you don't have to speak
Your expression is the truth that your words don't say
And the truth won't go away
In many dark corners
I have thought myself about this
Did you do it out of malice
Did you fall or were you kissed
Could you ask your friend in the cowboy jacket
And those boots up to his knee
Would he shut his mouth for me
I've heard just enough
All I want to hear about pipes and drums
And how little time it takes the klutz to come
The golden gift of silence is I don't have to hear you speak
So would you take him out yourself before I put you both back in the street
Now the story shifts and we see a young man
Standing in the wings too old before his time
Collecting gray hairs
He's proud and he's scared and he says "I don't care"
How can he be so blind so how did you corrupt him
You must have got him where it counts
Now he's so numb he's ready to freeze
And you're ready for the monkey house
Ready for the monkey house
The monkey house but you won't take me

Red Army Blues
When I left my home and my family
My mother said to me
"Son, it's not how many Germans you kill that counts
It's how many people you set free"
So I packed my bags, brushed my cap
Walked out into the world
Seventeen years old
Never kissed a girl
Took the train to Voronezh
That was as far as it would go
Changed my sacks for a uniform
Bit my lip against the snow
I prayed for mother Russia
In the summer of '43
And as we drove the Germans back
I really believed that God was listening to me
We howled into Berlin
Tore the smoking buildings down
Raised the red flag high
Burnt the reichstag brown
I saw my first American
And he looked a lot like me
He had the same kinda farmer's face
Said he'd come from some place called Hazard, Tennessee
Then the war was over
My discharge papers came
Me and twenty hundred others
Went to Stettiner for the train
Kiev, said the commissar
There your own way home
I never got to Kiev
We never came by home
Train went north to the Taiga
We were stripped and marched in file
Up the great Siberian road
For miles and miles and miles and miles
Dressed in stripes and tatters
In a gulag left to die
All because Comrade Stalin was scared that
We'd become too westernized
Used to love my country
Used to be so young
Used to believe that life was
The best song ever sung
I would have died for my country
In 1945
But now only one thing remains
But now only one thing remains
But now only one thing remains
But now only one thing remains
The brute will to survive

Savage Earth Heart
Ooh, let me see the savage
I want to see the savage
Coming crashing through your face
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through
I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carousel
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through
Will you lay all of your
Deepest, wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old Gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through
Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
Numbs the tongue
And he led me
Like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends
To doubt my friends
And to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
Cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
And the [Inaudible] of the soul laid waste
And the [Inaudible]of the soul laid waste
And the [Inaudible]of the soul laid waste
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through

Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
Numbs the tongue
And he led me
Like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends
To doubt my friends
And to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
Cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
And the [Inaudible] of the soul laid waste
And the [Inaudible]of the soul laid waste
And the [Inaudible]of the soul laid waste
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through

She Is So Beautiful
She is so beautiful
I've got no words to describe
The way she makes me feel inside
I'm flying solo
As free and as light as a bird
Yet I could lay my wings down in a moment
To guard and comfort her
She is so beautiful
Light filled, loving and wise
Laughter dancing in her eyes
All my road is before me
And I never did plan on a wife
Yet she's the most beautiful soul
I ever have met in this life
For she is like a song
She is like a ray of light
She is like children praying
Like harps and bells and cymbals playing
And she is like a wind
Moving, soothing, bringing joy
And here am I, destroyed
She is so beautiful
I don't know what I'm going to do when I leave
Except grieve

Somebody Might Wave Back
Seven o'clock in the morning
And I'm riding the overnight train
I've got ten tonnes of luggage
But I left it behind when I came
I look at my watch
Says September 17
We're riding past some place
Where I've never been
And I'm waving through the window as we go
Somebody says "Well, hey, what are you waving at?"
Well, what do I have to lose
Somebody might wave back
Seven o'clock in the morning
And I'm carrying bags under my eyes
Been awake all night
Counting the hours to sunrise
Drawing patterns on the tabletop
I lift my gaze and my mouth just dropped
Someone waving in the window at me
And I say, "Hey there, what are you waving at?"
When he says, "What do I have to lose
Somebody might wave back"
What do I have to lose
Somebody might wave back
Somebody might wave back
Somebody might wave back

Something That Is Gone
Something that is gone
Something that is gone
Something that I had just yesterday
But where I must have laid it, I really couldn't say
Something that was right but now is wrong
Something that is gone
Something that I lost
Something that I lost
Something that I cradled in my hand
Something rather special that pertained to all my plans
I'm left here wondering what on earth it was
Something that I lost
Something that I missed
Something that I missed
I've looked all around my room but it's not here
How can a thing of permanence so swiftly disappear
Something is the cause of all of this
Something that I missed

Song from the End of the World
Here is the smell of seafood pie
A broken tower on the open sky
A chain of islands rolling west
In sight of the house where we are guests
A rambling old river twists through the fields
Ancient names imprinted on shields
Gifts arrive for a baby girl
Born a queen at the end of the world
Furious music from an open door
The sound of feet beating on a stone floor
Always the wind, always the form
Of an elder God, hooved and horned
The head of the mountain lost in a cloud
A country woman, soft and proud
Into the bay the horses swirl
For we come to the sea at the end of the world

Spring Comes to Spiddal
Well the lights are on in Standun's and the spell has been broken
The roadside teahouse door is wide open
A sign on the wall says, "American also spoken"
As spring comes to Spiddal
The village girls go walking by without their coats
The Irish Gaelic college is alive again with folk
Farmers gather talking freed from Winter's yoke
As spring comes to Spiddal
A tourist with a telescope and a funny looking German bloke
And a billy goat all invoke the summer soon to bloom
On a soft and fresh Atlantic air a mist of pollen floats
On Galway Bay I spy a gaily painted fishing boat
There's a rustle around the boreens and a song on every throat
As spring comes to Spiddal

Strange Boat
We're sailing on a strange boat
Heading for a strange shore
We're sailing on a strange boat
Heading for a strange shore
Carrying the strangest cargo
That was ever hauled aboard
We're sailing on a strange sea
Blown by a strange wind
We're sailing on a strange sea
Blown by a strange wind
Carrying the strangest crew
That ever sinned
We're riding in a strange car
We're followin' a strange star
We're climbing on the strangest ladder
That was ever there to climb
We're living in a strange time
Working for a strange goal
We're living in a strange time
Working for a strange goal
We're turning flesh and body
Into soul

Suffer
[Incomprehensible]
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
You tried to drive a wedge between me and my friends
You pushed me to the edge time and again
I've been livin' in your shade, since I can't remember when
Now I'm bringin' this charade to an end
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
There was subtlety and skill in your manipulative ways
You chipped away my will so you could make me stay
You soothed me with your voice until I obeyed
But I'm makin' my own choice from today, hey
You used the tongue of love like a boxer uses fists
You contained me like a glove or a creepin' cloak of mist
You guaranteed the stars but there always was a twist
Now I see you as you are, egotist
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
I've got a ticket in my hand and I must be movin' on
But I want you to understand, from the moment I am gone
I release and let you go, you owe nothin' now to me
I'm not angry anymore, I'm free
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life
And shut the door
I'm gonna suffer for you no longer
I'm gonna suffer for you no more
I'm gonna write you out of my life

Sweet Thing
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 they'll get high on a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's 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
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I will raise my hand up
Into the night time sky
And count the stars
That's shining in your eye
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder
That's just fine and I'll 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, sweet thing
Sugar, baby with your champagne eyes
And your saint like smile

The Big Music
I have heard the big music
And I'll never be the same
Something so pure
Just called my name
I have drowned in the big sea
Now I find I'm still alive
And I'm coming up forever
Shadows all behind me
Ecstasy to come
I have climbed the big tree
Touched the big sky
I just stuck my hand up in the air
And everything came into color
Like Jazz Manna from sweet chariots
I have seen the big mountain
And I swear I'm halfway there
You'll never get there
You'll never get there
You'll never get there but I will
I will always climb the mountain
Because I have heard the big music
And I'll never be the same
Something so pure has called my name

The Charlatan's Lament
At long weary last
This game is over
The sins of our past
Fled from my shoulder
The sleep that I need
Is all I ask
In thought and in deed
I have burnt the mask
Here I am
Here I am
Enchantment is broken
I merged with the crowd
Oaths have been spoken
Inside and out loud
Emerging from under
Motions of God
In tears and in wonder
I ventured abroad
Here I am
Here I am
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me
Encountered a [Incomprehensible] hag
Blood on the snow
She said, "I've a burden to drag
And leagues to go"
I left her down by the seaside
In someone's hall
By dawn's empty light I cried
To no one at all
Here I am
Here I am
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful
Could you love a thimbleful
Harder for me
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
I swing between
Tears and wonder
Tears and wonder
Can you walk a smithereen
Can you walk a smithereen
Closer to me
Could you love a thimbleful

The Girl in the Swing
Do you see them coming
Through fields of snow?
Do you see them riding
Through fields of snow?
One rides for a woman who has no name
One rides for a king
And one just rides, and rides,
And rides and rides for the girl in the swing
They race like phantoms
In the pale moon light
You see them follow
The pale moon light
They ride through places where the walls are white
Where the noble voices of women sing
A brace of thanks, the silent night
And a song for the girl in the swing
When you just asked me
Do I know what love is
Well, sure I know
Sure I know what love is
It's the thief of sleep, a boy and his dog
A red rubber ball, these old foolish things
A rain that falls a long, long way from home
It lives in the girl in the swing, it lives in the girl in the swing

The Pan Within
Come with me on a journey beneath the skin
Come with me on a journey under the skin
We will look together for the pan within
Close your eyes, breathe slow and we'll begin
Close your eyes, breathe slow and we will begin
To look together for the pan within, within
Swing your hips, loose your head and let it spin
Swing your hips, loose you head and let it spin
And we will look together for the pan within
Close your eyes, breathe slow we'll begin
Close your eyes, breathe slow and we will begin
To look together for the pan within
Put your face in my window
Breathe a night full of treasures the wind is delicious
Sweet and wild with the promise of pleasure
The stars are alive and nights like these
Were born to be sanctified by you and me
Lovers, thieves, fools and pretenders
And all we gotta do, all we gotta do, all we gotta do
All we gotta do, all we gotta do and all we gotta do is surrender
All we gotta do is surrender, surrender, surrender
Come with me on a journey under the skin
Come with me on a journey under the skin

Close you eyes, close you eyes
Close your eyes, breathe slow we'll begin

The Return of Pan
I stood upon the balcony with my brand new bride
The clink of bells came drifting down the mountainside
When in our sight something moved
Lightning eyed and cloven-hooved
The great god Pan is alive
He moves amid the modern world in disguise
It's possible to look into his immortal eyes
He's like a man you'd meet anyplace
Until you recognize that ancient face
The great god Pan is alive
At sea on a ship in a thunderstorm
On the very night that Christ was born
A sailor heard from overhead
A mighty voice cry, "Pan is dead!"
So follow Christ as best you can
Pan is dead, long live Pan!
From the olden days and up through all the years
From Arcadia to the stone fields of Inisheer
Some say the Gods are just a myth
But guess who I've been dancing with
The great god Pan is alive

The Three Day Man
I'm the three day man, it's three days too long
Everything is in its right place but something is wrong
Time is on wheels, my legs shake
You have to live with every decision that you make
But that doesn't mean that I'll be your slave
Doesn't mean you're here to stay, doesn't mean we're friends for life
You know I want you, you know that I love you
But I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
Sixes and sevens, oh, how it rains
Sleep is a station, life is a train
People snatch instinctively for whatever crutch they need
But I promise not to abuse you, if you don't abuse me
And that means that I'll be never your slave
It means that you're not here to stay, it means we'd never be friends for life
You know how I want you, you know that I love you
But I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
And that means that I'll be never your slave
It means you're not here to stay, it means we're not friends for life

But I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
Never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you anyway
I'll never need you

The Whole of the Moon
I pictured a rainbow, you held it in your hands
I had flashes but you saw then plan
I wandered out in the world for years while you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles with the wind at your heels
You stretched for the starts and you know how it feels
To reach too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
I spoke about wings you just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried, you just knew
I sighed and you swooned
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels
To get too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon, hey yeah
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars
Yes, you climbed on the ladder with the wind in your sails
You came like a comet, blazing your trail
Too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
Oh, how [Incomprehensible] did you see the whole of the moon

The Wind in the Wires
Wake lady wake
The hills are in flood
And the road we must take
Is a river of blood
And the wind in the wires
And your heart like a cup
And I'm down in the war
And you've got to get up
For mercy's sake
Wake lady wake
Dress lady dress
Put on your skull-cap and boots
For the priest has confessed
And the chase is afoot
And the hounds are behind
Gunmen around every tree
And if it's all in our minds
Well, where else would it be
I suggest
You dress lady, dress
This is the day, this is the day, the day
This is the day, the day, this is the day, this is
This is the day
This is the day, this is the day, the day
This is the day, the day, this is the day, this is
Is this is the day?
Our kingdom will crash
Like a coo-let piece of trash
Swim lady swim
Lady, don't refuse
Though our chances are slim
And we're totally confused!
There are clues to be found
Oh, and I'd ask my peers
But they're all dumbing down
Until this bad weather clears
We're out on a limb
So swim lady, swim
Hey, world high
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

This Is the Sea
These things you keep, you better throw them away
You wanna turn your back on your soulless days
Once you were tethered, now you are free
Once you were tethered, now you are free
That was the river, this is the sea
And now if you're feelin' weary, if you've been alone too long
Or maybe you've been sufferin' from a few too many plans
That have gone wrong and you're tryin' to remember
How fine your life used to be, runnin' around, bangin' your drum
Like it's 1973, well that was the river, this is the sea
And now you say you've got trouble, you say you've got pain
You say you've got nothin' left to believe in, nothin' to hold on to
Nothin' to trust, nothin' but chains, you've been scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memory, scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memory but that was the river, this is the sea
Now I can see you waverin' as you try to decide
You've got a war in your head and it's tearin' you up inside
You're tryin' to make sense of somethin' that you just don't see
You're tryin' to make sense now and you know that you once held the key
But that was the river, this is the sea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now I hear there's a train, it's comin' on down the line
It's yours if you hurry, you've got still enough time
And you don't need no ticket and you don't pay no fee
And now, you don't need a ticket, you don't pay no fee
Because that was the river and this is the sea
That was the river, this the sea, that was the river, this the sea
That was the river, river, river, river, river, river, river and this the sea
Sea, sea, yeah, behold the sea

Trumpets
Your love feels
Like trumpets sound
I said your love feels
Like trumpets sound
Your life is like a mountain
Yes, your life is like a mountain
And your heart is like a church
With wide open doors
And to be with you
Is to find myself
In the best of dreams
Your love feels like trumpets
Your love feels
Like high summer
Your love feels
Like high, high summer
Your life is like an ocean
Yes, your life is like an ocean
I want to dive in naked
Lose myself in your depths
I want to be with you
To find myself
In the best of dreams
Your love feels like trumpets
Your love feels like trumpets
Just like trumpets
Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
I want to be with you
When being with you is the same
The same as being you
Being you
Your love feels like trumpets

We Are Jonah
And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech
His ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach
Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should
Half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke
And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke
A robber on the wing could be heard to sing the strangest thing
"Grandma, we are Jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale"
Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash
From it emerged a man in trainers and mustache
Down he laid his load, upon the heated road
Then the road did part, and the tar did melt
He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt
Like a piece of string, then he began to sing like a pearly king, ooh
"Grandma, we are Jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale"
Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea
There was Montgomery Clift, Jonah, the whale and me
As the sun it set, Montgomery placed his bet
Then the whale did yawn and fell asleep in four
From dusk till dawn, you should have heard him snore
From Tierra del Fuego, to the Alaskan Snows, there she blows
Grandma, we are Jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
My dear old grandma, we are Jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale
Grandma
We are Jonah
Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

We Will Not Be Lovers
You just stepped into the main track
Climbed down off the fence
Words are your weapon
Lies are your defense
I know what you want
And I see what you see
You're looking for somebody
But he isn't me
Find yourself another
We will not be lovers
How your eyes are like tortures
And your presence is bliss
I never knew time
Could speed and zip like this
The touch of your flesh
Is tough to resist
Planets collide, collide, collide
At the smack of your kiss
But you can kiss your brother
Because we will not be lovers
Now you're pulling down curtains
Sparking old flames
Causing disturbance
Crying for shame
Knocking on doors
Abusing my name
Casting up doubt
Throwing your blame
But you can throw it at your mother, your mother
Because we will not be lovers
Now the world's full of trouble
Everybody's scared
The landlords are frowning
Cupboards are bare
People are scrambling
Like dogs for a share
It's cruel and it's hard
But it nothing compared to
What we do to each other, to each other
We will not be lovers
We will not be lovers
We will not be lovers

What Do You Want Me to Do?
I've tried to do things my own way
And I've tried to do what people say
And I'm going nowhere fast
And I'm turning to you at last
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do, Lord?
I can see the lights of home
But I can't get there on my own
I can see the landing strip
But I need you to steer my ship
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do, Lord?
I've been a fool and I've been a clown
I let the enemy turn me around
I've wasted love and I've wasted time
I've been proud and I've been blind
I've got a lot of things to change
A whole man to rearrange
And if you show me how
I'll begin right now
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do, Lord?
What do you want me to do, Lord?

When Ye Go Away
Now he's brought down the rain
And the Indian Summer is through
In the morning you'll be following
Your trail again, fair lady
You ain't calling me to join you
And I'm spoken for anyway
But I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away
Your beauty is familiar
And your voice is like a key
That opens up my soul
And torches up a fire inside of me
Your coat is made of magic
And around your table angels play
And I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away
Somebody left us whiskey
And the night is very young
I've some to say and more to tell
And the words will soon be spilling from my tongue
I will rave and I will ramble
I'll do everything but make you stay
Then I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away
I will cry when ye go away

World Party
Well, it's got nothing to do with anything that is real
You just believe in it and it's true
You can sooth like an angel or sigh like a saint
You can dream it and see it through
You will live to see a sea of lights
Sparkling on the face of a pearl
Climb your own peak, find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world
Party, party
Now you've been building for yourself a cool place in the sand
You're thinking that it's mighty fine
You've got dust in your eyeballs, you got mud in your mouth
But it's your head, it ain't mine
I've got a madman of my own to contend with
Cursing in the cave of my skull
Turn the other cheek, find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world
Party, party
Well, I heard a rumor of a golden age
Somewhere back along the line
Maybe I dreamed it in a whisper or heard it in a spell
It was something to do with the sign of the times
And the only thing that I remember
Is a summer like a pretty girl
Who shimmers and shines, moving in time
Shaking to the beat of the heart of the world
Party, party
Party, party, party
Party, party, party
Party, party
Say, into the beat of Lord
