Anthem
When the night wind softly blows through my open window
Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush me by
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are burning
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

River Deep, Mountain High
When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown
It gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never never let you down
Cos it gets stronger as the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
I love you baby like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby like a robin likes to sing
I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

Shield
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
While the children play in the field
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
But how strong is the shield?
Can peace be found on the carpet above ground
Where sky is forever blue
So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud
Which may take me from you
Many things a man can lose
His self, his rights, his views
But never his heart or his love
So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb
To the hill up above
Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream
While our children play in the field
I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
And trust in the strength of a shield
So trust in you love, and we'll see up above
And let light pass like a wheel
Don't take the chance of life's sacred dance
Kiss the strength of a shield
The seeker will be found by the look on the ground
And to his wish he will yield
Fate will have it's word, of course
But time will change its course
And hold the strength of a shield

Listen, Learn, Read On
In ages past when were spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was called no special name
It was all done by feel
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among children and the peers
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn, on the foaming beach of the
ocean, in the day of trouble, I shall be of more service to thee
than three hundred senates...'
The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Two dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fool's mate as a snare
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'Three times I have been warned
I know this from meditation...'
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the water on the sticks
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Don't take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'All the sciences of the world are collected in my breasts, for
I know what has been, what is now, and what hereafter will
occur...'

Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind light
She looks at you once in a day
And what's wrong and what's right
And I love her, God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
She has the kind of turn at the drop of a game
Well all the things she does they turn you on just the same
And I love her, God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
I don't want much
The Good Lord's there beneath the feat
A gentle touch
I've had one girl and life its sweet and good
There ain't no doubt, talking about
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you

Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind light
She looks at you once in a day

Chasing Shadows
Chasing shadows
Over a horde with a sound of revealing
Dwarves and giants
Twenty feet tall
Fill the room with their clearing
Sounds of breathing
Sharpen my ears when they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter
Out in the street
Fills the night with their loving, ooh, ooh.
I feel the ice in my head
Running his hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red
All I'm asking
Some secret voice is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just lie in the shadows

Bird Has Flown
For the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only grains of sand
All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
To a place on it's own
Somewhere all alone
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
Oh same as you and me
Yes he's got 'em started.

April
April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell me quite why
As i look up to the grey sky
Where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again of an April without end
Of an April lonely as they come
In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime's the season of the night
Grey sky where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
I don't know...

From Second Movement: Andante Part I
How can I see when the light has gone out
How can I hear when you speak so silently
More than enough is never too much
Hold out a hand - I'm so out of touch
You want to feel as your heart would have you do
Looks on my head cannot get the message through
So that my hand can cut through
Peace in my heart can suffer too

Blind
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew your needing
Till I found myself standing here alone
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons
It started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all behind, blind
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all behind

Why Didn't Rosemary
Just back here we have a crime
Everything I need but nothing's mine
Strange worlds are back here
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Left me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it, but the devil will
I'm losing time and my mind
Why can't I ever have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the thing that goes with it
If there's something else, where can I get it?
Left me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it, but the devil will
Well here's my views, I always lose
Things I want to do are yesterday's news
Say life's a ball, I've had it all
I'm out flat when I have to dance all
Left me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it, but the devil will
Take me as I am, a 'scuseful man
Whenever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Left me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it, but the devil will
Oh, why won't Rosemary ever take the pill?

Hush
I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She took my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need your love and I'm not to blame now
Love, love
They got it early in the morning
Love, love
They got it late in the evening
Love, love
Well, I want that needing
Love, love
Oh, I gotta get ahead of it
She's got a love like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
Blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep
Listen
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She took my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush

We got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
Feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up

Baby's just the same
She still feels a quiver
She's still got the flame
She slows down, slows right down

Love Help Me
Bright red flashes in my mind
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces
My broken heart has been
With memories of a loving stain
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me
Passing by the grounds of time
Memories that are only mine
Looking for love, a brand new love
Looking for love
Dreams that are hard to see
Finding a new cup of tea
Someday she must come along
I need love, love help me
I need love to conquer all
Somewhere there must be one
Hoping someday the good news
Waiting for that girl to choose
Only lonely, all I can do
Only lonely
One day she must come along
The girl as pretty as a song
A woman just spared for me
I need love, love help me
Bright red flashes
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces
My broken heart has been
With memories of a loving stain
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me
I need love, love help me
I need love, love help me

Sky looking so for long
It looks like the world being born
On one more rainy day
Trying to see the sunlight
My heart's crying out loud
I try to see through the clouds
On one more rainy day
One more rainy day
Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day
Summer starts shining on through
You were and I were with you
It's strange what sun can do
On one more rainy day

Once again my mind is grey

Gonna fool about ain't gonna save

Gonna have a party to save my soul

Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

Gotta black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I wanna tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know
Oh, no no no!
Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man
I'm a long way from where I wanna go
Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so
How's about another sip of all the wine you got
Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot
I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show
Oh, no no no!
You really really grab me but I've gotta move
Before they know I'm here and spread the news
Maybe in while when I've moved around
I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give

You'd better close your eyes and bow your head

Flight Of A Rat
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Oh, yes he did.
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show
What a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a night,
Oh what a sight.
Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town, oh yes.
When I was seventeen
Me mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much.
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried, oh no.
In my mind
I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English fool
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak
Not a word.
Shaking put a curse -
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more?
Now I'm free
And I can see,
And I am me,
Yes I am free
Spread the word around -
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see,
And I am me,
Yes I am free
Please stay away!

But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair
You took out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
You'd better do something for your own sake

Ah you know you're a living wreck.
You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you
Would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you big G
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck.

No No No
Really hate the running really hate the game
Looking at them all I wanna be unborn again
Their suit is getting tighter although they're getting thin
The flies are crawling on their face and trying to get in
People say that we're to blame I say
No no no it's just the game.
Must we let them fool us? - no no no!
Have we got our freedom? - no no no!
Is it getting better? - no no no!
Do we love each other? - no no no!
Must we wait forever? - no no no!
Heads are getting stronger bodies getting weak
Looking at them all it feels good to be a freak
Their hands are getting closer they're reaching out so far
The greenies gonna get them make them serve stars
Tell them how it is and they say no, no, no!
No, no, no, we know it all.
The washing's getting dirty the air is getting thin
It's all in such a mess that no one knows where to begin
They talk about creating but all they do is kill
They say we're gonna mend it but they never will
Poison in the rain but they say
No no no we ain't to blame.

Anyone's Daughter
I stood under your bedroom window
Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl
And threw me in the can.
You're a farmer's daughter
You're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter.
Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here
And do this every night
Wham! The door comes crashing down
Your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
I'll put you in my jail.
You're a judge's daughter
You're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter
Yes, I did, it was nice.
It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter.
Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright
When I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughter's baby's daddy
She's a lucky daughter
Such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get
The kinda girl I didn't wanna get
Now I've got what I always fought for
'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter.

The Mule
No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
Put evil in my mind
Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I listened to the mule
How can I change when my mind is a friend
of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule.

Fools
I'm crying, I'm dying...
I can see what's wrong with me
It's in my head
I can see what's gonna be
As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood
I am of the dead
I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still.
There can be bad blood in all I can see
It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel
As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but
Tears will leave a stain
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill.
I got my own way to go and now I want
To take your minds
I believe if you could see
The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be
A better kind
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still.

No One Came
Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said what's he gonna turn out like
And someone else said never mind
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit
Of shiny white or was it cream
I shook and shivered danced and quivered
And stood on a mountain top
No one came from miles around and said
"Man your music is really hot".
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
My throat was tired and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they poured on the scorn
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes
There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about
He must've been the king of Queens
Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done
But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung
There's a law for the rich and one for the poor and there's
another one for singers
It's die young and live much longer
Spend your money and sit and wonder
No one came for miles around and said
"Man your music is really funky".
I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star
Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'
Everyone's shouting out loud
It's only the glitter and shine that gets through
Where's my Robin Hood outfit
Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye
No one ever cared enough to say goodbye
The money's good and the time you have
Fun and games galore
But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
And you wonder what you did it for
No one came from miles around
And said man who's he?

Maybe I'm A Leo
Peeping round the door
I got a big surprise.
Couldn't see a thing
But open skies.
They've taken her away.
Where is she now?
Wish that she was here
I wish she'd hold my hand.
Maybe she could laugh
Or maybe understand
Why was I so cruel,
Where is she now?
Acting like a fool
Had to make her cry.

But I ain't a lion.

Pictures Of Home
Somebody's shouting up at a mountain
Only my own words return.
Nobody's up there, it's a deception
When will I ever learn?
I'm alone here, with emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home.
Wondering blindly how can they find me
Maybe they don't even know.
My body is shaking anticipating
The call of the black footed crow...
I'm alone here, with emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home.
Here in this prison of my own making
Year after day I have grown.
Into a hero but there's no worship
Where have they hidden my thrown...
I'm alone here, with emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home.

Somebody, somebody come to my side
I'm tired, I'm crying, I'm sick inside.
My woman that woman
Just wasn't right
Help me now, please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never never before.
So funny, so funny just like a show
One name - two people all in a row
Somebody, somebody
Someone must go.
I was hurt when I was younger
By a woman who was cold.
She took my name, she took my body
Then she threw away my soul.
Can't hide, I can't hide my misery
I know my sorrow won't set me free.
She did it, just see, she did it to me
Help me now, please my fried
I'd never felt so bad before
Never never before.

Smoke On The Water
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground.
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky
Smoke on the water.
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water.
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water,
Fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water.

Space Truckin'
We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealis
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'
Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral Moonstomp
And everyone would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'
The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said

They dance around the Borealis

Yeah, she is a whole new tradition

Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away.

She's so good to me.
But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light.
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high.

Mary Long
Mary Long is a hypocrite
She does all the things that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell good
And then she draws titties on the khazi wall
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle.
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?
Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought the show was funny
When the nation knew you'd had children
It came as such a surprise
We really didn't know you'd had it in you
How you did it we can only surmise?
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?
Mary Long, you're not alone
But you're a long way behind our times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more honest than your clean-up mind
What I'm saying, Mary Long is
When you can spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny Lord
Dig your self a hole and jump in it.
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?

Place In Line
I'm living in this line
I know my place, could think of no way
Of edging along in a loser's race.
The line was moving
Slowly day by night
Everybody's shuffling on
To keep a place in the line
Place in line.
Nine long years I've been in line
Getting nowhere there is no reason
For this line I don't care.
Everybody's standing
In the burning sun
Everybody's shuffling on
Keeping a place in the line
Place in line.
Don't you think we're gonna make it
We've got a place in line
We're gonna make it sometime
Somehow.

Thinking out of line just to make the sun shine
Anyway I can be like you
Fighting with the truth
Trying to hide a fool in a fantasy
I'm dreaming, lay me down and take me now
Our Lady of the skies.
Hiding in the sun like a loaded gun reality
Aiming high at my dream
But I can get along
She makes me strong, anyway
I'm dreaming and there is no other way
Our Lady of the skies.
Flying in the sky with a bunch of high fidelity
I can hear your song
Offer me a ring just to show me your sincerity
I'm dreaming, let me go

Past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, 'Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return.'
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time,
We could not even try.

And you still ain't got no place to go.

Tell me,where do I belong?

Nard times I've had enough.
If I could find a place to hide my face,
I believe, I could get back up.

Holy Man
Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies...
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand?
Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me.
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand
I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me.
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand

You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see

Hold on - I feel I'm rockin' steady
Hold on - I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on - You got to gimme some love, gimme some love.
I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps comin' on strong.
Although it's mine now
I know it won't be for long
There's something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign.
Hold on - I've got to love you when I want to
Hold on - You've got to love me when I want you to
Hold on - I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on - No never no more.
I know the game you're playing
And I guess you think I'm easily led
You think the words you're saying
Are really going through my head
I'm gonna take you home
And give you all I can
I'll prove to you, baby
That really I'm a man.
Hold on - I know I'm feeling ready
Hold on - I know I'm rockin' steady

And give you all I can

Tell me gypsy can you see me
In your crystal ball

My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end.

Soldier Of Fortune
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay.
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here.
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.

Knockin' At Your Back Door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
And she never knew the reason why.
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door.
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young.
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai

Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high.
Aha, what's knocking at your back door.

Perfect Strangers
Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life?
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice.
All my life
I am the echo of your past.
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day.
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers.
I know I must remain inside this silent
Well of sorrow.
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind, oh
Is aching with the dead of the night, oh oh.
Precious life
(your tears are lost in falling rain).
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers.

Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
It's part of history my son.
Murder and rape with your power
The 10th revolution in far away days
It's come to this
A gypsy's kiss
All your power's gonna fade in the haze.
Ya who' Jumme gae bile ya heed
The Senorita said
I'll drag yer lungs out through yer nose
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes.
They got a gun at your head
But you ain't necessarily playing their game
They can't resist
A Gypsy's Kiss
All that's needed to drive them insane.
John Wayne The Alamo
Crazy Horse Geronimo
I'll smoke a piece with you
Mind Body Heart and Soul
We got Rock and Roll
And there's nothing they can do.
Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish
A Gypsy's Kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud.

The Spanish Archer
Well there must have been a reason for the smile
that you had upon your face last night
Are you the cat that got the cream did you lick
your lips did you close your eyes
Can you imagine how it feels it's so hard to reveal
Oh i can't get through and i'm falling
I'm getting out i'm losing ground
The spanish archer's gonna bring you down.
Is there someone somewhere waiting in the wings
to take my place
Let's not drag it out like a cagney death scene
In this season of change it's not hard to explain
Like the leaves on the trees i'm falling
And as you turn don't look away
The Spanish archer's gonna make you pay.
Do you remember when the sky was blue we used
to talk for miles
And now we drive along in this thundering silence.
It's such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours
I'm letting go and I'm falling
I'm getting out losing ground
The Spanish archer's gonna bring you down, oh.
Well is there something i can say as we stumble
to the edge have we gone too far
Why don't we call it a day before we call
it a nightmare darlin'
If we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free
Is the wave of a hand and you're falling and as you turn
don't look away
The Spanish archer's gonna make you pay.

Strangeways
Strangeways.
Strange, strange...
I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
When you become a man you'll understand
But it's still a mystery.
And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part that gets right up my nose.
And it think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something i can do without
But strangeways is what i got.
The indians are coming
I saw it on TV
They're 20,000 strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry.
Salvation is at hand it's guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God 1-800 toll free.
And i think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am i going what am i doing here
But strangeways is all i got.
Have you seen the headlines
Princess engaged
3 million out of work
But that's on the 2nd page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Can't hear a word i am saying
But that ain't such a bad idea.
And i think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
But strangeways is all you get.

Mitzi Dupree
Flying to Salt Lake City
Seats 3A and B
I was down and needed a window
But in 3A sat Mitzi Dupree
She said, 'Hi I am Mitzi
The Queen of the ping pong.
Where you going boy?'
I said, 'Nowhere'.
She said, 'I'm moving on'.
I thought what is this
I cannot resist
Here she is
And I've always wanted a girl
With a name
A name like Mitzi Dupree
Ooh, Mitzi Dupree
She said, 'What do you do?'
I said, 'I'm a singer in a band'.
She said, 'Ya I'm an entertainer.'
Reached out and took my hand
She was going to a mining town
Way up North to do her show
I said, 'It must be cold up there'.
She said, 'Depends on who you know'.
Oh that look in her eye
I can tell you no lies
I'm just a man
She made me feel like a king in my mind
I love you Mitzi Dupree
I said, 'What is this Queen of the ping pong business?'
She smiled, 'What do you think?
It has no connection with China'.
I said 'Oow have another drink'.
Well I knew right away
That I'd seen her act before
In a room behind a kitchen in Bangkok
And three or four times more in Singapore
She may not be the first
But I know she ain't the worst
She was mine but I ran out of time
I miss you I love you Mitzi Dupree
My darling Mitzi Dupree.

Emmaretta did you get my letter
I sent it to you oh Emmaretta
Do you still feel when night is falling
Something's calling oh Emmaretta
Behind my thoughts oh Emmaretta
I can get to you to feel better
Oh Emmaretta I must go now
Oh Emmaretta full moon's rising
Oh Emmaretta oh, it's a thousand miles
Oh, and I need you child
Oh, they can drive me wild
What I feel, make it real

Hallelujah
I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found
I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Let me hear you sing, Hallelujah
Oh tell it to the man who's power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it 'till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope you'll soon be justified
There is a better way of life and it's not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind
I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Hallelujah

Black Night
Black night is not right,
I don't feel so bright,
I don't care to sit tight.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.
I don't need a dark tree,
I don't want a rough sea,
I can't feel, I can't see.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.
Black night, black night,
I don't need black night,
I can't see dark night.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.

Strange Kind Of Woman
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery.
I loved her, everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her, I even tried to break her
She said "I ain't for takin', won't you ever learn?"
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better - she said,
"Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star!"
She finally said she loved me, I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride.
I'm dreaming, I feel like screaming,
I won my woman just before she died.
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you,
I gotta be near you
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman.

I'm Alone
On the lonely road I'm travelling on
The road that leads nowhere
As the ground and the sky wondering why
I'm alone so alone
I kept rolling on from tears for years
Sun is my only friend
With the wind on the bend and my pack in my hand
I'm alone so alone
I'm alone so alone
I'm alone so alone
I'm alone so alone
And I feel like going home
With my money spent, my clothes all torn
My spirit can't grow
I ain't got no friend where the power ends
I'm alone so alone
I'm alone so alone
I'm alone so alone
I'm alone so alone
And I feel like going home.

Shadows
Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile
Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles
Your face, your eyes, I can't find the girl I look for
Shadows can conceal you
You can't hide, so please don't try
Your life and my love
But to search just makes me cry
Life was so young and another day is gone
Love seems a lost word
How can my heart be strong
When that was is again I wait for love to be there
Then in the shadows I see the face I look for
But then like the night you're gone just as before
A face in a crowd
A shadow once more
...shadows...shadows...shadows...shadows...
...shadows....shadows....shadows....

Freedom
Oh, my honey, take my money
I do what I wanna do
Don't you know the sun is shining
I'm sure trying, I ain't crying
My feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom, oh
No more walking or fast talking
No things are gonna wear me out
I'm sure glad I wasn't born a fool, yeah
Some day, baby, you'll be my lady
I know that it won't be long
We ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
Oh, honey honey honey, taking all my money
I do what I really wanna do
Oh, the sun is shining
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I never never cried
Oh, my feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom.

Slow Train
How can you live in such a state?
Your mind is empty and you're full of hate
The things you say and the things you do
Mark you down as a helpless fool
I know, I know, I know, I know
It's gonna be all right through the night
Tomorrow comes and you're full of shame
Oh baby! You play the crying game
Aaaah...
Gonna be a long time baby
Before we get it sorted out all right
I'll drag you out to Utopia, baby
We'll end up heading south
I need, I need, I need to know
If you gonna do me right
If you do the things I ask of you
I'll tell the world tonight
He he he he hee... All right
You do me right, you do me wrong
Tell me, where do I belong?
You do me up, you do me down
I accept it all without a frown
You love like a woman in a fantasy
Ha ha ha I admire you for my dream
You dream of life and you dream of bream
High enough but I'm back again
I love, I love, I love the funny ways
Oh you throw me in a daze
If you ever left me woman
I'd destroy myself, sure as hell
Aaaah...
We're gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistles stops oh - yes we are
We'll put down the blinds while the carriage flies
The engine burns hot while the fuzz is going on
So I'll burn its [...] to ash
Well there's a life to live and there's a love to give
Ready! Steady! Smash!
Alright! Yeah! Uh mmh!
You just got to be out of your head
Whe you say you'll go look for the bottom of the top
Well I'll be waiting and won't give it a rest
When you [...]
[...] something's going on
and it's sure a game of pane
Just like me he fell in love
Ah now he feels the pain
Aaaah....
We're gonna ride a slow train baby
Take all the whistle stops oh - yes we are
We'll put down the blinds while the carriage flies
The engine burns hot [...]
[...] the fuzz is going on
So I'll burn its [...] to ash
Well there's a life to live and there's a love to give
Ready! Steady! Smash!

When A Blind Man Cries
If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
And my world is pale.
When a blind man cries,
Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.
Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.

Painted Horse
Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Days of another kind
Frost gets a bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old could the lion man cry
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping.

Deep Purple
When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat, lover we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
Here in my deep purple dreams
Music - Peter De Rose - 1934,
Lyrics - Mitchell Parish - 1939
