(daniel dale johnston)

In clusters we move through a farm
Somewhere far off the thunder roaring
And the fortune teller has fixed her sweetly eyes on my child

Sometimes i climb high up in a tree
And let the wind blow in my face
Sometimes i leave my cares lying in piles

Somewhat disturbing
Is the sound of her singing
When you know you don't deserve it

You're not here today
I feel just like an empty eggshell
My yoke is heavy
My yoke is heavy

My voice is a little horse
Galloping lost through the woods
Calling your name

It's new to me
But just the same
The earth is an old canvas painted over many times

The poet rambles
The world it scrambles
But who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men

Your shadow knows
It's right behind you all the way
Your shadow knows where you've been

My yoke is heavy
My yoke is heavy
My yoke is heavy

Sacred is the smile
That opened up my mind
And asked me come save me
And rid my cold cold heart
Of the dark deep gloom
That took up so much room
And my many spacious memories

My yoke is heavy
My yoke is heavy
My yoke is heavy

(words by william blake [1757 - 1827])

I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered thames does flow,
And mark in every face i meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe

In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles i hear.

How the chimney-sweeper's cry
Every blackening church appalls,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace walls

But most, through midnight streets i hear
How the youthful harlot's curse
Blasts the new-born infant's tear
And blights with plagues the marriage hearse

I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered thames does flow,
And mark in every face i meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe

If i had
If i had more
More would be laid at your feet

If you give me
Just a little smile
The dogs on my trail wouldn't drag me back to jail

I woke up in a horse's stomach one foggy morning
His eyes were crazy and he smashed into the cemetery gates

All i want is to be a happy man
All i want is to be a happy man

I've seen teeth
Across the horizon
Fangs spanning yellow against the earth

There ain't nothing, yeah but ghosts
Fever, rabbit dreams and drunken boats

I woke up in a horse's stomach one foggy morning
His eyes were crazy and he smashed into the cemetery gates

All i want is to be a happy man
All i want is to be a happy man

I woke up in a horse's stomach one foggy morning
His eyes were crazy and he smashed into the cemetery gates

All i want is to be a happy man
All i want is to be a happy man
All i want is to be a happy man
All i want is to be a happy man
All i want
All i want
All i want
All i want

(roger waters/david gilmour)

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from rain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for the cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in a war
For a lead role in a cage

How i wish
How i wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
Of how we found
The same old tears
Wish you were here

Wish you were here
Wish you were here

All these deeds of mine
They snook up behind
I shot a dog that didn't need
I shot a dog that didn't need
I shot a dog that didn't need shooting

I tried to be kind
I saved a bird one time but
I shot a dog that didn't need
I shot a dog that didn't need
I shot a dog that didn't need shooting
