unknown

Iona, sweet iona
Island out of time
Your lost child is returning
His shadow close behind
Anger in his breast
Black dog in his mind

I feel like an island of rage
In a vast sea of peace
Like a worm in a cathedral
Like a beggar at a feast
Columba heal my black heart!
Let my nightmare cease

Lace upon the window
Patterns on the sheets
Three ships in the distance
Horsemen in the street
Lord god fit me
To be your hands and feet

Mother cluny
Rock me in your womb
Mother cluny
Rock me in your womb
Take the fear
And pain i feel
Turn 'em into
Tears that heal
Mother cluny
Rock me in your womb

Mother cluny
Suckle me at your breat
Mother cluny
Suckle me at your breat
Tend the seed
That love has sown
In the temple of my
Flesh and bone
Mother cluny
Suckle me at your breast

Mother cluny
Hold me in your fire
Mother cluny
Hold me in your fire
That i may shed
This dead old skin
That i may find
The fire within
Mother cluny
Hold me in your fire

Mother cluny
Clothe and send me forth
Mother cluny
Clothe and send me forth
To be present
At the birth
Of the new heaven
Of the new earth
Mother cluny
Clothe and send me...
Clothe and send me forth

(patti smith)

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he

Here i go and i don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, who is chosen by she

Here i go and i don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
Could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin

She is recreation
She, intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she ...

Here i go and i don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til i lose my sense of gravity...

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin

Is she conscious
Is she really wide awake?
Is she conscious
Of her beaatiful mistake?
Is she conscious
As she moves among the crowd?

She's got thw world upon a piece of string
She's got thw world upon a piece of string
It's so
He was ugly and she was beautiful
He was ugly and she was so

Is she conscious
Is she asleep or just afloat?
Is she conscious
Of the letter that she wrote?
Is she conscious
Of the music in her ears?

The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
It's so
He was ugly and she was beautiful
He was ugly and she was so

Is she conscious
As she moves across the room?
Is she conscious
Of the weeping of the moon?
Is she conscious
As she leaves the door ajar?
Is she conscious
As she gets into the car?

I don't even wanna say her name
I don't even wanna say her name
That's all
I wanna sing it from the toppest tower
I wanna sing it from the toppest tower
That's all
The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
The queen of sheba could have shined her shoes
It's so
He was ugly and she was beautiful
He was ugly and she was so

Is she conscious
Of the chauffeur as he drives?
Is she conscious
As the ambulance arrives?

On a day of days
I stood and gazed
Over the western sea
I was completely dazed,
Wide-mouthed and amazed
When a mermaid called to me

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

Like a man in a dream,
For an age it seemed
I stood as still as a stone
While the mermaid sang
And her melody rang
Like a memory calling me home

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

Then the sea and the wind
And the shores did spin
And though my resistance was strong
All the stars in space
Filled the mermaid's face
As she captured my will with her song

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

Somehow i spoke --
The enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
Like a dream she was gone
All that remained was a song
Borne on the ebbing tide

Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-ooooh ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

All the boys love carrie
But carrie doesn't love the boys
She drinks and she talks
She takes cigarettes from strangers
Anything else she's an x-rated baby
Out of bounds

All the boys love carrie!
They watch her over cider and whiskey
Take her outside, show her their cars, invite her thru to the cocktail bar
But carrie's shy, she don't talk much
She keeps her secrets locked inside
Out of bounds

I saw her today in her green coat
I know she's going... uptown downtown!
She's gotta run 'cause it's getting late
What can she do when her world blows open in her face?

All the boys love carrie but
Carrie doesn't love the boys

I am walking in the last 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, stone-eyed, cold-faced in swathes of vengeance clad.

And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows.

In my wake are seven men 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 craving eyes.

And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows.

Below me burn the city lights like fires of pearls and jewels.
I'm climbling 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.

Oh father, what happened to you
Did you have more urgent affairs to attend to?
Did business press, or did you just get bored
Thrown half your life through a one way door?
Sometimes it scares me, look in the mirror
And see myself growing up looking like you
No i don't have much time to waste getting worried
I've got more urgent affairs of my own to attend to

Father, what happened to you
Haven't seen you in a whole decade
Did you ever learn, did you ever grow up
Are you still as weak, do i make you feel afraid?
Do you tell your friends there's a son somewhere?
Did you ever wonder how he looks?
Did anyone ever give you my number?
Say here's two pence 'cos my phone's off the hook

At long weary last
This game is over
The sins of the past
Fled from my shoulder

The sleep that i need
Is all that 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 loathly 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

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
Harder for me

(walt whitman, 1852)

Allons! the road is before us
It is safe, i have tried it
My own feet have tried it well
Be not detained

Let the paper remain on the desk unwritten
And the book on the shelf unopened
Let the tools remain in the workshop
Let the money remain unearned
Let the school stand
Mind not the cry of the teacher

Let the preacher preach in his pulpit
Let the lawyer plead in his court
And let the judge expound the law...

...let them!

Comerado! i give you my hand
I give you my love more precious than money
I give you myself before preaching and law

Will you give me yourself?
Will you come travel with me?
Will you give me yourself? hey!
Will you come travel with me?

Will we stick be each other?
As long as we live?
As long as we live?

This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
Because i'm a seaweed shovelling man

Green weed, red weed, still alive and dead weed
Lying in a pile on the shore
Brown weed, pink weed, smelly kind of stink weed
Who on earth could ask for more!

This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
Because i'm a seaweed shovelling man

Dry weed, wet weed, ain't-been-troubled-yet weed
Glinting in the morning sun
Thin weed, thick weed, slimy kind of slick weed
Every bucket weighs a ton!

This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
Because i'm a seaweed shovelling
Seaweed shovelling
Seaweed shovelling
Seaweed shovelling man!

We are going to paris
In a ship with red sails
As the storm gathers slowly
We eat fishheads and snails

The mate jumps up, throws down a line
To a 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 ??
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 has come
Like a man insane, insane
We are going to paris
It rains and it rains

We are going to paris
In a ship with red sails
We are going to paris
In a ship with red sails

You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

But you'll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But it's not just a day again until you touched it

Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

But you'll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But it's not just a day again until you touched it

Don't put that song in your album
You don't need no sax in the band
Don't put that song in your album
You don't need no sax in the band
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

But you'll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But it's not just a day again until you touched it

Wake up you gotta make a change
You gotta dress like one of the levellers
Don't put that song in your album
You don't need no sax in the band
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
There's money in the cabaret business
You can't spend all your life
Sittin' on a cloud playing a twelve-string

I'm working out my karma
I'm gonna get myself in line
I'm working out my karma
(i'm gonna get myself in line/
Ain't wasting no more time)
I'm gonna pay back all my debts
Set up a brand new state of mind
I'm clearing out my system
No more drugs and self-abuse
I'm clearing out my system
No more drugs and self-abuse
(i'm gonna find the magic in me/
I'm gonna locate the magic inside of me)
Spread the good news!

(well, i'm dressing like a rockstar
And i feel like a king
Ain't got no hits but i
Sure got a whole ot of swing
I'm alive on the inside
And that's the first thing

Now you can cheat me out of my money
If that's what you really wanna do
Yeah, you can cheat me out of my money, honey
And buy yourself a brand new boogaloo
I should hope you think it's funny when it
Come back around on you!)

I can hear the music changing
I can feel the river rolling on
I can hear the music changing
(i can feel the river rolling on/
Rhyme, rhythm, groove, tune and song)

I can (see/feel) the moment flashin' before my face
Then it's gone

I'm working out my karma
I'm gonna get myself in line
I'm working out my karma
(i'm gonna get myself in line - this time/
Ain't wasting no more time)
I'm gonna pay back all my debts
Set up a brand new state of mind - waaah!

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

I'm sitting in my bedroom
Overlooking findhorn bay
Cluny hill ion the distance
Summer on the way
Blue skies and sailing boats
Like a picture in a book
I can't believe i got here
Or how long it took

Living one step at a time
Putting one foot in front of the other
It sure feels right
Healing on my mind
Been a long way
Been a long way to the light

I'd made it to manhattan
Built myself a nest
I meant to get right back to doing
Exactly what i do best:
Pluggin in an electric guitar,
Leading a band
Well, if you want to give god a laugh
- tell him your plans!

Summer in the city
Wilting in the heat
Buzzing up and down to bearsville
And back to hudson street
I learned meditation
And how to visualise -
Just breathing, being still
Never felt more alive!

Living one step at a time...

I spent the fall in transit
Circling the moon
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
Like a fiddle without a tune
I found what i was searching for
In mrs caddy's book
I had to go there straightaway
Have myself a look

I flew back to scotland
Anticipation in my bones
The old country welcoming me
Like a prodigal coming home
I knelt and kissed the tarmac
In the wild atlantic rain
Felt the fiery gaelic blood
Rising in my veins

Living one step at a time...

I spent the night in glasgow
Flew to inverness
I found the place and at the first
I was not impressed
Nobody said hello
The faces left me cold
Back then how was i to know
All that would unfold?

I entered thje sanctuary
- heard the vioce of a girl
Sending out a circle of light
Clear across the world
I shuddered in the power
Like a seedling in a storm
I've been travelling to this place
Since the moment i was born

Flew back to new york city
Singing the big city blues
The sand of findhorn bay
Still clingin to my shoes
I tried to re-start my life
But the life i knew was gone
I had to let go everything
But that's another song!

Living one step at a time...

So i'm sitting in my bedroom
Overlooking findhorn bay
Cluny hill in the distance
Summer on the way
I'm watching sailing boats
Bobbing to and fro
- time to hit the road
The only way i know...

Living one step at a time...

(words by bob dylan and jacques levy)

I married isis on the fifth day of may,
But i could not hold on to her very long.
So i cut off my hair and i rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where i could not go wrong.

I came to a high place of darkness and light.
The dividing line ran through the center of town.
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right,
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

A man in the corner approached me for a match.
I knew right away he was not ordinary.
He said, "are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
I said, "i got no money." he said, "that ain't necessary."

We set out that night for the cold in the north.
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word.
I said, "where are we goin'?" he said we'd be back by the fourth.
I said, "that's the best news that i've ever heard."

I was thinkin' about turquoise, i was thinkin' about gold,
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace.
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,
I was thinkin' about isis, how she thought i was so reckless.

How she told me that one day we would meet up again,
And things would be different the next time we wed,
If i only could hang on and just be her friend.
I still can't remember all the best things she said.

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice.
He said, "there's a body i'm tryin' to find.
If i carry it out it'll bring a good price."
'twas then that i knew what he had on his mind.

The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous.
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.
When he died i was hopin' that it wasn't contagious,
But i made up my mind that i had to go on.

I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty.
There was no jewels, no nothin', i felt i'd been had.
When i saw that my partner was just bein' friendly,
When i took up his offer i must-a been mad.

I picked up his body and i dragged him inside,
Threw him down in the hole and i put back the cover.
I said a quick prayer but i felt dead inside
Then i rode back to find isis just to tell her i love her, to tell her

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
I came in from the east with the sun in my eyes.
I cursed her one time then i rode on ahead.

She said, "where ya been?" i said, "no place special."
She said, "you look different." i said, "well, not quite."
She said, "you been gone." i said, "that's only natural."
She said, "you gonna stay?" i said, "yeah, i jes might."

Isis, oh, isis, you mystical child.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of may in the drizzlin' rain.

I was talking to john
He was dressed all in black
He was learning, he said
To never look back
Bells in his ears
He turned and disappeared
But i've known him for years
Where'd he go?
A head full of snow
On the late train to heaven

Augustus my friend
Dressed in velvet and scarf
He's purging himself
He's refusing to laugh
Pale as the moon
His words fill the room
He'll be travelling soon
Where's he bound?
Higher ground
On the late train to heaven

I whispered to you now
But i didn't mean a word
It was just a small madness
Pretend you never heard
Pretend you're here with larry
Pretend you're here with lee
Pretend you're with anyone but me
I didn't come with you, i'm gone
And my seat's waiting on
The late train
Forever on the late
The late train
I'm ready for the late
The late train to heaven

On the late train to heaven

Space is always getting bigger
Time just keeps moving on
Take your finger off the trigger
You ain't gonna shoot that gun

Roads are always leading somewhere
Dreams are always being dreamed
That black cloud on the horizon
Its not as big as it seems

No, you may believe it or not, but hear what i say
This old boat of ours is bound for better days

Fools will always have an answer
Cheats will always tell a lie
They don't have to take us over
Just let them pass you by

Luck is always being lucky
Fate is always being fate
There's really no need to hurry
You aint gonna be late

No, you may believe it or not, but hear what i say
This old boat of ours is bound for better days

Age is always getting older
Youth is always being born
Come on climb in here beside me
And keep your lover warm

My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
Yes 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 power, as if some judge in judgement said
"off with his great coat, and his head!"

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

Meaningless movies
On the screen behind the band that's blowing flowing shapes
Half of their music is on tape
My mentor and champion is busy tilting at the windows of his stately home
The daemon he's grappling
Is his own!

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
Yes 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 become!
She plucks the splinter from my thumb

My love is my rock
In the long, low, weary land
Yes 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

In the weary land!
My rock in a weary land
My rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
In a weary land
Hey!
A rock in a weary land

A rock in a weary land
A rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land
My love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock is my love is my rock in a weary land
In a weary land!

(girls let me tell you what a liar will do
He's always coming with something new
He'll steal your heart...)

He lives in the 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 mantel
He has donned
Mark him only by his deeds
For his word is not his bond

I'd love to take him
Out of this room
And gently break him
I'd love to see him dance!

His protogee 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!

I'm heading down this highway
I'm heading down this road

I'm climbing through this forest
I'm climbing through the wood
Sometimes it's hard to see the light
But i know you could

But i don't mind
No, no, no and i don't care
It's a hundred-thousand miles i've gotta go
Yeah!

I'm drifting through the desert
Drifting through the sands
Climbing all the mountains
Checking out the land
Running with the rivers
Racing up the shore
And jumping off the cliffs, boys
'cause all i want is more, all i want is more
And it won't be long now
'till we'll be knock-knock-knocking on your door
And it won't be long now
'till we'll be knock-knock-knocking on your door
And it won't be long now
'till we'll be knock-knock-knocking on your door

We're heading down this highway
We're heading down this road
We're heading down this highway
It's a long road, i'm told
But i don't mind
No, no, no and we don't care
It's a hundred-thousand miles we've gotta go
Yeah!

May god bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others

And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

I'm not your lover
I'm not your man
I'm something you'll never understand
'cause i
I will die for you
You

Well god made you
And god made me
He made us all equally

How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's cold
Maybe i'm just too demanding
Maybe you're just like my father -- too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
How we look to each other
This is what is sounds like
When dust cries
When dust cries

I've heard this script before, i know this turn of mind
You think that you're the one to bring the change she's trying to find
But what you're selling, she don't need -- she already got it free
Your boat struck something deep, now you're trying to save the sea

You ain't sir galahad, she ain't your blushing bride
You ain't the wayward son, come back to turn the tide
You ain't the savior king, foretold and prophecied
You're just one of many rescuers, trying to get by her side

She put her hand around the flame more times than you can tell
The best thing you could do for her is to pass and wish her well
She ain't dying on her feet, nor hanging on your every word
The pain your sensing is inside you -- you're just thinking it onto her

You ain't sir galahad, she ain't your blushing bride
You ain't the wayward son, come back to turn the tide
You ain't the savior king, foretold and prophecied
You're just one of many rescuers, trying to get by her side

I've heard your presentation and it's time for me to go
The train is waiting at the railway station and there's much that we don't know
I've a secret in my keep and i'll tell you if you ask
But i know that you can't really speak, till you remove the mask

Now i can see you're using all you've got, all the power that's in your hands
You're pulling favours, casting 'em up, money flies at your command
You talk hard but you don't listen, you look long but you don't see
But what bothers me most about you my friend, you remind me too much of me

You ain't sir galahad, she ain't your blushing bride
You ain't the wayward son, come back to turn the tide
You ain't the savior king, foretold and prophecied
You're just one of many rescuers, trying to get by her side

Said burlington bertie to accrington stanley "i do not like that andy pandy,
He fancies himself as a regular dandy - let's take him down a stitch"

But unbeknown to accrington stanley and burlington bertie namby pamby was
Sucking a stick of cinnamon candy and watching from a ditch.

Said namby pamby to andy pandy "let us tell mahatma ghandhi that burlington
Bertie and accrington stanley are up to dirty deeds."

Said mahatma ghandhi to namby pamby "you and i and andy pandy must enlist the
Aid of para handy - he's the fella we need."

So away they rode - andy pandy, mahatma ghandhi and namby pamby - to the home
Of para handy beyond the western wall.

Said para handy to mahatma ghandhi "i'll summon the brothers handy andy,
Dandy jim and tony pandy - experts one and all"

Said tony pandy to para handy "me and dandy jim and handy andy will bring you
The head of accrington stanley if it be your wish."

Said mahatma ghandhi to tony pandy, dandy jim and handy andy "brin me the
Head of accrinton stanley on a silver dish."

So handy andy and tony pandy, dandy jim and para handy caught the villinous
Accrington stanley in his pants and vest.

Said accrington stanley "you've caught me red-handed, i'm trounced and i'm
Trumped, i'm stumped and i'm stranded. but before you go and do something
Outlandish grant me one request."

Said para handy to accrington stanley "make it quick and make it handy. in 30
Seconds handy andy will remove your wicked head."

Said accrington stanley "before you count 30 i'll swear on the grave of my
Great-aunt gerdie. the man you seek is burlington bertie - remove his
Instead!"

But para handy and tony pandy, dandy jim and handy andy, andy pandy and
Mahatma ghandhi (not to mention namby pamby) paid no attention to accrington
Stanley and beheaded him - dead!

I'm a rolling stone
All alone and lost
For a life of sin
I have paid the cost
When i pass by
All the people say
He's just another guy
On the lost highway

Just a deck of cards
And a jug of wine
And a woman's lies
Make a life like mine
The day we met
I went astray
I started rollin' down
That lost highway

Now boys don't start
All your ramblin' around
On tihs road of sin
You are solemn bound
Take my advice
Or you'll curse the day
You start rollin' down
That lost highway

How did he come here?
Who gave him the key?
Slipped it in his hand
So secretly
And who put the colour
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 parlour
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
In a pagan
Pagan...

Well i've had enough of the ways of men
Said i've had enough of the ways of men
Yes, i've had enough of the ways of men
His sordid games rape my brain

Well, i've had enough of his tomfoolery and shame
Yes, i've had enough of his tomfoolery and his shame
Oooh, i've had just enough of his tom-tom foolery and his shame
His sordid games rape my brain

As the wind sweeps across generations up and down the sweep of history
He leaves his tracks in all places, leaves his stain in all beds
He builds schools and pleasures, all designed to prevent illumination
All of his games rape my brain

He put his flag in the desert, but i need water
He put his flag in the desert, but i need water
He put his flag in the desert, but i need water
He put his flag in the desert, but i need water, water, water

Long hast thou dwelt in darkness
Quit the night, and seek the day

Ruthy is an artist, she's got oceans in her head
Doctor says you really shouldn't leave her alone
She throws her books -- all scattered cross the room
Graham greene sprawled out beside the rolling stones
Daddy doesn't understand but goes on paying the bills
Mother clears up after baby girl's spills
One break in communication and those clouds begin to fly
While ruthy goes on bleeding when is she going to realize
Only heroes live forever...

Tony is a dancer he's got to be one step ahead
Watch him show the new moves to the girls he meets
He bumps for the crowd at his apartment window
Rolls his hands in perfect time with his feet
Opens his shirt right to the waist
Throws on sun tan oil like wallpaper paste
Carries a copy of "the carpetbaggers" he thinks that makes him cool
Looks you straight in the mouth as he tells you you're just another fool
But only heroes live forever...

Me i'm an actor stickpaint on my face
Alibis in my pocket and costumes in my case
I use emotions i make them my tools
For i know well that rock'n'roll is in the hands of fools
And only heroes live forever...

I'm learning to love him
To love and forgive
I'm learning to trust him
To let the man live
I'm learning to see him
To see who he is
I'm learning to love
The beauty he is

I'm learning to love him
To love and forgive
I'm learning to trust him
To let the man live
I'm learning to hold
His life in my hands
I'm learning to love
Me just as i am

(bob dylan)

Buckets of rain, buckets of tears
Got all them buckets coming out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love honey baby i can stand

I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear,
If you want me, honey baby,
I'll be here

Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips.
I like the cool way you look at me,
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery

Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but i know what i like.
I like the way you love me strong and slow,
I'm takin' you with me, honey baby
When i go

Life is sad
Life is a bust
All you can do is do what you must.
You do what you must do and you do it well,
I do it for you, honey baby,
Can't you tell?

(bob dylan)

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I wake up every morning
Hold my hands and pray for rain
I've got a head full of ideas
Driving me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well, i ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more
He hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you and your friends
If you're having a good time
He blames you every time you slam the door
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well, i ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more
He stubs his cigarette out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window is made out of bricks
And the national guard are standing at his door
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well, i ain't gonna work for maggie's mother no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's mother no more
She talks to all the servants about man and god and law
And everybody swears she's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight, but claim's she's twenty-four
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

I try so hard to be just who i am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
They say "see, while you're playing i get bored" ??
Well, i ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

I heard a rumour of a golden age
And the stage is gettin' set
I heard a rumour of a golden age
The stage is gettin' set
I heard a rumour of a golden age
In the song, on a screen and printed page
And all the world will be a stage
And the stage is gettin' set

I've seen the glow of a golden dawn
And the dawn is comin' through
I've seen the glow of a golden dawn
And the dawn is comin' through
I've seen the glow of a golden dawn
And all will wait to gaze upon
And though the hour is hard and long
The dawn is coming through

I felt the wind behind my heels
And it feels good to me
I felt the wind behind my heels
And it feels good to me
I felt the wind behind my heels
My soul fired up like catherine wheels
And i'm never gonna forget how it feels
And it feels good to me

I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
I saw a ship come sailing in
I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
I saw a ship come sailing in
I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
Said "lord, i surrender" and fell on my knees
And loving rose in the heart of me
And the ship came sailing in

I heard a rumour of a golden age

Martin decent came to play, came to play, came to play
On a bright and winter's day
Turned his coat in the morning

Martin decent spoke out loud, spoke out loud,
Told his tale to the listening cloud
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Ate his greens and his rhubard raw
Chewed his food with a vigorous jaw
Wrote down he all he heard and saw

Martin decent sang along, sang along, sang along
Leant his voice to the children's song
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Told a few little lily-white lies
Hid the truth behind his eyes
Nobody knew he was in disguise

Martin decent danced a lot, danced a lot, danced a lot
Struck the pose for a photograph
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Martin decent went back home, went back home, went back home
Slept like a log in a bed of his own
Then he turned his coat in the morning

Yes he did!
Hey! fuck him! roll him in manure!

Saturday morning experience week
I'm so nervous i can hardly speak
Arrive at cluny hill half past ten
Almost turned and went home again
Yes, i almost turned and went home again

My focaliser showed me my room
Felt like she was consigning me to my doom
What am i doing here? what's going on?
Who are these people? what are they on?
Who are these people? what are they on?

Here's comes my roommate, he sure looks weird
Wild black hair and a big fuzzy beard
I met the rest of the group after lunch
What a strange and motley bunch
What a strange and motley bunch

Come sunday morning, i'm feeling bad
Enjoyed the dancing but now i'm sad
Things feel different don't know why
Feeling lonely, want to cry
Feeling lonely, want to cry

Monday morning, learned everybody's names
We go down to the ballroom to play some games
Something happened i can barely describe
Changed my feelings, changed my life
Changed my feelings, changed my life

Tuesday morning with a hoover in my hand
Cleaning out the dining room, beginning to understand
Tuning in, tuning out
Starting to see what findhorn is all about
Starting to see what findhorn is all about

Wednesday morning in the winter sunshine
Down to cullerne gardens and everybody's feeling fine
This wonderful place as smooth as a dream
Where eleven strangers become a team
Where eleven strangers just become a team

Thursday morning at a quarter past three
I'm wide-awake in the sanctuary
Opening myself to the love and a light
Thanking god for steering me right
Thanking god for steering me right

So now it's friday almost time to go home
And back into the big wide world i must roam
But i'll take it with me every single thing
Send it out with every song i sing
Send it out with every song i sing

So that's the tale of my experience week
It was beautiful and it was unique
It made me friends and it opened my heart
This isn't the end -- it's just the start!

Will you take me slowly
Will you lead me all the way
Will you sing me your songs
Until i am ready for
The love that kills
Yeah!

I have known you in the
Sheets and folds of many lifetimes
You were there when i was made
And i will speak to you in the language of dream until
Love comes my way
Love that kills
Yeah!

Hey i will ride on a dolphin, rain in my face,
Wind in all of my sails
There's a shadow hard on my heels now,
But i'm still trying to, i'm still trying to...
Get to the place, we're [rolling like strippers over spill]
I have come a long way and i need my cup refilled

So when you come for me slowly
When you come knocking on my door
When the soul sings
And the man is still
I will be ready
I will be ready
Yes i will be ready for the love that kills
Yeah!

The love that kills
The love that kills, kills, kills
The love that kills

Bury my soul
Where the dust meets the sea
Turn it loose in a lonely place
Where man can still be free
Make up my clothes and sheets
In a ball, put them in the ground
Tell my children only truths
Teach them to be proud
Tell them dreams and miracles
When thy thunder stops
Bury my heart!

Bury my heart!

I was born a travelling trooper
But i laid my wings to rest
Once i beat myself in squallor
Now i feather up my nest
There are flags in my back yard
Colours on my wall
I pay my servant well
But i made the bastard crawl
>and i pretend no blessed evil soul
> that i don't hear that thunder start
Bury my heart!

There's a lily in the valley
Where i brought the news to ro
I offered him my visions but
The heathen rose to go
So i took my shining sabre and i slew
My sinning friend
A christian burial was all he needed
To make him whole again
And i looked up way above me
And god rent the sky apart
Bury my heart!

Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!

We're god's chosen people
This and other truths i know
Put them into vicious practice
Because the bible tells me so
And i drowned the noble savage
In the blessed holy water
I burned his filthy village
And i civilized his daughter

The liars in this world
Who say we shame the blood of christ
But killing is his mercy
And nits grow into lice

And all those gooks i napalmed
Man, i did it in god's name
When the fools put me on trial i shouted out
I'm not to blame -- i did it for him!
I did it for him!

I did it for him!
He made do it!
He tore the heavens apart

Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!

Now i'm going to wilderness
On a horse that i can trust
I will die where i fall
In the hot dry dust
And if you come to that place
Remember this truth

That he who's born to property
Is he who's born to lose
Will you bury my soul
Where the dust meets the sea
Will you bury my heart
At wounded knee!
Bury my heart
At wounded knee!
Bury my heart
At wounded knee!
Bury my heart!

Bring 'em all in, bring'em all in, bring 'em all in,
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in, bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, bring 'em all into my heart

Bring the little fishes
Bring the sharks
Bring 'em from the brightness
Bring 'em from the dark

Bring 'em from the caverns
Bring 'em from the heights
Bring 'em from the shadows
Stand 'em in the light

Bring 'em out of purdah
Bring 'em out of store
Bring 'em out of hiding
Lay them at my door

Bring the unforgiven

Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, shenandoah, i long to hear you
Look away. we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Now the missouri is a mighty river
Look away, you rollin' river.
Indians camp along her border
Look away. we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Well a white man loved an indian maiden
Look away, you rollin' river
With notions his canoe was laden
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Oh shenandoah, i love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her i'd cross the water.
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

For seven long years i courted sally
Look away, you rollin' river
Seven more years i longed to have her
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

Well, it's fare-thee-well, my dear,
I'm bound to leave you
Look away you rollin' river
Shenandoah, i will not deceive you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide missouri

There's nothing 'round here i believe in
'cept you, yeah you
And there's nothing to me that's sacred
'cept you, yeah you

You're the one that reaches me
You're the one that i admire
Every time we meet together
My soul feels like it's on fire
Nothing matters to me
And there's nothing i desire
'cept you, yeah you

Nothing 'round here i care to try for
'cept you, yeah you
Got nothing left to live or die for
'cept you, yeah you

There's a hymn i used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing to remind me of that
Old familiar chime
'cept you, uh huh you

Used to play in the cemetery
Dance and sing and run when i was a child
Never seemed strange
But now i just pass mournfully by
That place where the bones of life are piled
I know somethin' has changed
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
'cept you, yeah you

Nothing much matters or seems to please me
'cept you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Ev'rybody's got something to sell
'cept you, yeah you

Hey johnny, where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
Just one word come straight from your heart
Makes me feel so glad!
Death and disease walz together like starlets in this place
I sure would like to see your honest face

Hey eddie, where are you now when i miss you?
Now when i miss you like hell?
If you were here i know you'd make me
Believe again in myself!
You don't owe me nothing
I'm not calling you away
So please don't feel accused when i say

Where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
My heads almost exploding
And the tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do i really believe i need you?
But i do!

Hey you, where are you now when i dream about you
In nightmares every night?
You were on a big wheel high above me
Almost out of my sight
And just as i wake you shout down something that sounds like
"why are you not free?"
But by the time i'm dressed
You're just a memory

Where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
When my heads almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do i really believe i need you?
But i do!

Hey mama, where are you now i hurt for you?
I hurt for you so hard?
If you heard this song, i know you you'd come straight for me
You'd come somehow, no matter how far
There's a hundred things that i want to say to you
And they come rushing through my head
But when we meet like we always do, we leave the best things unsaid
And my god! isn't that lonely?
That's lonely as hell
To know the truth always but to be too scared to tell

Where are you now when i need you?
Now when i need you so bad?
When my hearts almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do i really believe i need you?
But i do!
But i do!

I know she's in the building
I can feel it in my guts
Somewhere within these four walls
Is the woman that i love
The sweetest wild adventure
Hangs within my grasp
She's eternal, she's alive
And i've found her at last

I've left her notes and poems
Pinned them on the board
I listen for each step or voice
That passes by my door
I can feel the raw excitement
Bursting in my chest
I can feel my longing hands
Upon her firm and supple breast

Shifting within my thoughts dance
Inevitably to you, love
I'm enslaved and i'm entranced
By all you are and do, love

It'll soon be time for dinner
I know just where's she'll be
But i'll wait here for maybe she
Will come and call on me

She knows the room by number
She know who waits unseen
King pan, inflamed with love and joy
For her, his elfin queen

Now he's brought down the rain and the indian summer is through
You'll be dancing down the country in the morningtime 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 whisky and the night is 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

(bob dylan)

If you're travelling in the north country fair
Where the wind sweeps heavy on the border line
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

If you're travelling in the snow-flake storm
Where the rivers freeze and the summer ends
See for me that she's wearing a cloak that is warm
To keep her from the howlin' wind

See for me if her hair is hanging low
If it curls and it tumbles all the way to her breast
See for me if her hair is hanging low
'cos that's the way that i remember her best

I'm wondering if she remembers me at all
The many times i've often strayed
In the stillness of my night
And in the darkness of my day

So if you're travelling in the north country fair
Where the wind sweeps heavy on the border line
Remember me to the one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

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 clutz 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 grey 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

Well, do you hear that lonesome ?? ??
Lord, he sounds too blue to cry
The midnight train lord he's ?? and ??
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

Well if you ever hear a robin weep
When the leaves begin to die
Likely he's lost the will to live
And i'm so lonesome i could cry

Now the silence of the falling star
It lights up a purple sky
And as i wonder sweetheart where you are
I'm so lonesome i could cry

Now the train that i ride is sixteen coaches long
And the girl that i love is gone
And if i could grow wings, i would take off and fly
I'm lonesome i could cry
Yes, i'm lonesome i could cry
