Where d'you wanna spend eternity?
Dreaming of liberty,
Searching for reality,
Trucking down infinity.

Bury your past an' move on fast,
Nothin's gonna last, so take a bit of grass
An' move on, move on fast.

What's your visibility?
Looking for community,
Hoping for unity,
Trucking through infinity.

Bury your past an' move on fast,
Nothin's gonna last, so take a bit of grass
An' move on, move on fast.

Where d'you wanna spend eternity?
I might meet you somewhere.
All roads leads to nowhere,
Trucking through infinity.

Bury your past an' move on fast,
Nothin's gonna last, so roll a bit of grass
An' move on, move on fast.

Move on! move on! move on! move on!
Move on! move on! move on! move on!

Mrs. lennon, o' mrs. lennon,
Checking the sky to see if there's no clouds.
There's no clouds,
O' then, i guess it must be alright.

Mrs. lennon, o' mrs. lennon,
Making the tea and watching the sea.
There's no waves,
O' then, i guess it must be alright.

Silver spoon, o' silver spoon,
I lost my silver spoon.

And our children, o' our children,
Did they have to go to war?
Yes, my love, it's okay,
Half the world is always killed you know.

Husband john extended his hand,
Extended his hand to his wife.
And he finds, and suddenly he finds
That he has no hands.

They've lost their bodies!
They've lost their bodies!
Yes, they lost their bodies.

Neither of them, o' neither of them
Never left each other.
Yes, my love, it's okay,
Half the world is always dying you know.

Mountains may move, river may run,
But you make me be myself, you make me be.
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you're the one?

Stars may move, time may run,
But you make me free myself, you make me free.
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you're the one, you're the one?

In the world eye we were laurel and hardy,
In our minds we were heathcliff and cathy.
In a moment of wisdom we were a wizard and a witch,
In a moment of freedom we were don quixote and santo.
In reality we were just a boy and a girl who never looked back.

How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How could i tell you?
How could i tell you?
You're the one,
You're the one,
You're the one,

You're the one.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine,
Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile?
Honey, i take sugar, two.
While he's ranting an' raving,
Could you pass that cream?
I was looking to have a cupa tea.
Instead i freeze.

Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?
Or bushing my tush till there's no scream left?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?

Mm -

Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero,
Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin?
Brother, not that way, they'll take you away.
Mm, give me your gun,
It's no use to anyone.
Instead i freeze.

Seeing if i shut up and stay real still,
Maybe he won't kill, at least not me.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?

Mm -

Wouldn't it be nice to be a star,
Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty?
Being looked up with a telescope
While my sister's busy cutting the rope.
Daddy, you can't touch me,
Mommy, you can't hate me,
I'm a star, get it?
Instead i froze.

And i let them, i let them,
I let them pick my brain,
Twist my arm,
Cut my throat
And wish me dead.
But i'm still thinking,
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit-wouldnit?
Wouldnit?

I was looking for something in the closet,
I was sure it would be there.
But to my surprise it wasn't there
And i had to look all over the world.

I was telling anybody i need to find it now,
It's very important to find it now.
I wasn't surprised that they didn't care,
And i had to look for it myself.

Where is it? where is it?
Oh, where could it be?
Why don't you help me look for it?
Why don't you help me look for it?

I kept on looking for the thing they say was there,
But i couldn't find it anywhere.
And to my dismay, i didn't even remember
What i was supposed to look for anyway.

What is it? what is it?
Oh, what could it be?
Why don't you tell me what it is?
Why don't you tell me what it is?

I was looking for something i knew was in my head,
I wasn't sure if it were dead.
But to my dismay, it was still there,
I had to close the door real fast.

What did i do? what did i do?
Oh, what did i do?
Why didn't i look in the closet instead?
Why didn't i look in the closet instead?

I was looking for my head in the closet,
I was sure it would be there.
But to my surprise it wasn't there
And i had to look all over the world.

Where is it? where is it?
Oh, where could it be?
Why don't you help me look for it?
Why don't you help me look for it?

I know you now for a thousand years,
Your body still feels nice and warm to me.
The sun is old, the winter's cold,
The lake is shining like a drop of buddha's tears.
The mountains lie in a distance
Like the future we'd never reach
And i kept my warmth with your body close.

The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking on the hillside like a leftover timebomb.

I know you now for what you are,
And my mind still goes through ups and downs with yours.
The moon is clear, the room is bare,
The bed is shining like an old scripture
That's never been opened before
And i keep my warmth with your mind close.

The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking in a farmhouse like a forgotten timebomb.

One day we discovered that the clock was not ticking anymore,
And our bodies kept spreading rapidly like a very, very fine tissue
Until it stretched over the whole wide world.

Bless you for your anger,
It's a sign of rising energy.
(transform the energy to versatility and it will bring you prosperity)

Bless you for your sorrow,
It's a sign of vulnerability.
(transform the energy to sympathy and it will bring you love)

Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity.
(transform the energy to giving,
Give as much as you wish to take and you will receive satisfaction)

Bless you for your jealousy,
It's a sign of empathy.
(transform the energy to admiration
And what you admire will become part of your life)

Bless you for your fear,
It's a sign of wisdom.
(transform the energy to flexibility and you will be free from what you fear)

Bless you for your search of direction.
(transform the energy to receptivity and the direction will come to you)

Bless you for the times you see evil.
(evil feeds on your support. feed not and it will self-destruct.
Shed light and it will cease to be)

Bless you for the times you feel no love.
Open your heart to life anyway
In time you will find love in you.

You are a sea of goodness,
You are a sea of love.
Bless you, bless you, bless you,
Bless you for what you are.

Count your blessings ev'ry day for they are your protection
Which stand between you and what you wish not.

Count your curses and there will be a wall
Which stand between you and what you wish.

The world has all that you need
You have the power to attract what you wish.
Wish for health, wish for joy,
Remember, you are loved.

The world has all that you need
And you have the power to attract what you wish.
Wish for health, wish for joy,
Remember, you are loved.

I love you

On a windy day, let's go on flying.
There may be no trees to rest on,
There may be no clouds to ride.
But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us,
That's enough for me,
That's enough for me.

On a windy day, we went flying.
There was no sea to rest on,
There were no hills to glide.
We saw an empty bottle rolling down the street
And on a cupboard stand at the corner of the street,
Wrinkled souls piled up like grapefruits.

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people
Living for today, ah-ha-ah.

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace,
You-oo-oo-

You may say i'm a dreamer,
But i'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world,
You-oo-oo-

You may say i'm a dreamer,
But i'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

-"one!"

Hey, hey!

My life, take it, it's mine to give.
Take it, let me live in you.
My life, take it, it's yours.
Do what you will, i dedicate it to you.

What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

My life, take it, for better or worse.
Why waste time?
We both know together is the only way.
We'll make it any way.
Take it, my life,
My life is you.

What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

I've only myself to...
I've only myself to (give to) you.

For better or worse i dedicate my life to you.
La-la-la-la....

In pittsburgh, p.a.
Deep in the heart of texas,
On down to frisco bay.
All over st. louis
And down in new orleans,
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet, little sixteen.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, little sixteen,
She's got the grown up blues.
Tight dresses and lipstick,
She's sportin' high heel boots-ah.
Oh, but tomorrow morning,
You gotta have to change her trend,
Become sweet sixteen-ah,
And back in class again.

All over st. louis
And down in new orleans,
All them mothers wanted to
Be sweet, little sixteen.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sixteen,
She's so delicate,
She's just gotta have it,
About half, half a mountain,
That's framed back.
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,
Do it! do it!

It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain like you've never seen before.
(it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain)
It's like the heaven packed out, the sky fell out,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

You say life is a bowl of cherries,
You give me a bowl of pits.
The pits will grow into trees one day,
I'm getting my cherries anyway. (maybe so, maybe so)
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause i know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

You say life is a bowl of cherries,
While trying to hide your bowl of pits.
Don't tip my bowl, don't crush my cherries,
One day you'll get your trees and all. (yes, i know, yes i know))
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause i know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,

Once a friend told me of his experience,
That he had loved somebody and in pain,
He had slit his arm and sent the blood to her
And that he was glad that it was over.

He had talked and made love like an expert,
But i had never seen his soul.
And his eyes had a sort of dead smile
As if he wanted me to believe
That he was still alive.

He was a winter friend to me,
We walked in the snow to chinatown for noodles.

That was many years ago, in another life,
Why do i remember it now?
When i'd heard his story, i'd heard it like a car accident
That i would never be in myself

He was a winter friend to me,
We walked in the snow to chinatown to noodle.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la dee la dee la da
Dee la la la

Now that i see my car slipping down the cliff
And i'm desperately looking for the brake...
Don't let it happen to me,
Please, don't let it happen to me,
I'm not ready to die or live a living death,
I'm not ready to die or live a living death,
I'm not ready to die...

I said yes, i said yes, i said yes,
I prayed a thousand times yes.
And the no that was hanging over the buildings
Faded like the moon at dawn.

When i was young i thought i was facing
A very aware world ahead,
I didn't know it was going to be
"beware of dogs" instead.

I said no, i said no, i said no,
I said no a million times to no.
But the yes that was in its last breath
Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu.

When i was young i didn't know
That one can only read life in braille,
I was still struggling to catch life on its tail.

I said why, i said why, i said why,
I asked why for the billionth time.
And my bone slowly lost its moist
Like a leftover coke bottle on the street.

Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing on the square,
That's my bone.
It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud,
Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard.

I said yes, i said yes, i said yes,
I prayed a thousand times yes.
And the no that was hanging over faded.

Catman, you're looking cool today,
We say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my hangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So keep your high-heel boots and your knee-high mind,
Come up to my pad and see my work,
Go for a meal and hear my joke,
Or get in a bag and take a poke,
But don't be too clever or we'll kick your fillies in.

Look out, look out,
The rosies are coming to town.
Look out, catman, look out, catman,
The rosies are flashing along.

Catman, we feel a fool today,
I say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my wangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So leave your well polished tail and your uptight suit,
Show us some funnies that are better than daddies,
Or bake us some cakes that are better than mommies,
Or give us your witties that are trapped in your willies,
But don't be too clever or we'll scratch your goodies out.

Watch out, watch out,
The rosies are riding the town.
Watch out, catman, watch out, catman,
The rosies are slashing about.

Catman, shining your tools today,
They say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my fangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So save your thigh high thoughts and your banana skin,
We'll burn your pansies and give you a bug,
We'll squeeze your lemon and give you a mug,
We'll cut your daisies and give you a slug,
And don't be too clever or we'll blow your sillies off.

Keep out, keep out,
The rosies are passing the town.
Keep out, catman, keep out, catman,
The rosies are bashing around.

Coochy coochy coo, bunny bunny boo, patti patti poo,
Catman! catman! where are you?

Don't be a prune, catman, give us all you've got.
Your blueberry eyes and your evergreen lies.
'cause after all, by this fall you might grow too old,
And you can't ask your mommy to use an old fruity in her pie.

Patter cake, patter cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as slow as you can.
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with 'o'
And put it in the oven for me and my mo.

Batter cake, batter cake, baker's girl,
Fake me a cake as fast as you curl.
Bat it, and whip it, and mark it with blood
And throw it in the oven with trickles and mud.

Wetter cake, wetter cake, baker's boy,
Make me a cake that's sweet as your toy.
Wet it, and slick it, and mark it with 'p'
And leave it in the oven for lizzie and me.

Catman! catman!
Hey, dumballs, get me a pair of rubber dolls, will you!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!

Man -
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!

Remember, when you were young,
How the hero was never hung,
Always got away.

Remember, how the man
Used to leave you empty handed,
Always, always let you down.

If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind-ind,
Remember, remember today, hey, hey.

And don't feel sorry
The way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.

Just remember when you were small
How people seemed so tall,
Always had their way, hey, hey.

Do you remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom,
Always, always playing a part.

If you ever feel so sad
And the whole world is driving you mad,
Remember, remember today, hey, hey.

And don't feel sorry
'bout the way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.

No, no, remember,
Remember,
The fifth
Of november!

I walked through the park and saw a young oak tree growing,
Growing beside an old bark hit by lightning.
I asked the young tree how he wished to be,
He shook his leaves and sung to me:

I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and i like it out here.

When i hear thunder, i think of my father,
He taughtme about life, that was when i was five.
It's true that some days are more than grey,
But we learn to get by day by day.

I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and i like it out here.

1692, six in the morning of june,
Sally kegley, age thirty-four,
Closed her diary she'd kept for two scores.

Salem, salem, witches must be hung.

Let my daughter burn my book,
Let her learn to sew and cook.
Teach her not to read but weave,
Ask her not to speak but weep.

Salem, salem, witches must be hung.

Sally kegley knows how to cure the ill,
Sally kegley sees through us at will.

Salem, salem, witches must be hung.

All the town's people rushing to the hill,
Their eyes shining, ready for the kill.
Sally's flesh bound to the cross,
Her eyes searching for the ones who are close.

Oh, why? oh, why? oh, why? oh, why?
Oh, why? why? why? why? why? why? why?
Help! help! help! help!
Help! help! help! help!
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang,
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang,
Must kill, must hang, must kill, must hang,
Must kill, must hang...

- "yeah! i like it very loud!"
- "well, that's how i like it too"
- "can't you make it more louder?"
- "i can't make it any louder than it is, it's on full you see."

- "once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy and he went to..."

- "mummy...you should remember this more because d'you know why?"
- "why?"
- "i learnt it from my daddy, you know."
- "umm-umm."
- "hah-hah."

- "once there was this little boy who asked his father
To tell him that old, old, old, old, old, old story.
Once upon a time there was this little boy who said,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once upon..."

- "you could see...it can end anywhere!
It can end...it's just a little story."


I wonder why
I could never hate you
Even when you look away,
I always love you in my soul.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.

I tell you why
I could never hate you
Even when you're far away,
I know you love me in your soul.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.

Part of me will always be with you,
Part of you is growing in me.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We don't know how to love, love without fear.

We don't know how,
How to tell each other,
There's nothing we can do.
I saw your soul and you saw mine.
It's just the way we happen to be,
It's just the way it happens to be.
We always know inside our soul that love is there.

You gotta eat,
You gotta drink,
You gotta feel something,
You gotta worry.

But it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

You gotta live,
You gotta love,
You gotta be somebody,
You gotta shove.

But you know it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

But when it's good,
It's really good.
And when i hold you in my arms, baby,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

Ow!

You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.

But you know, it's hard,
It's hard to get hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

Ow!

You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.

But you know, it's hard,
It's so hard to get hard,
Sometimes i feel like going down.

Watching the sky turn to sunrise pink.
The stars are fading, saying good night,
Throwing us a big fat wink.

It's you and i, feeling good,
This morning we're up so early and bright.
The clouds are smiling, saying good night,
We know it's gonna be right.

What are we doing, you and i?
Are we waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?
Maybe we should take five and go for a ride,
See what the world is up to, you and i?

I know you're still thinking of that empty room behind,
One day we'll air it and fill it with sunshine.
Now you know it's just you and i
And that's no reason to cry.
So hope, skip and run, let's have some fun,
You and i, (you and i) you and i. (you and i)

You just turned nine, and we're both fine,
You and, you and i.

(you and i, you and i, you and i)
(you and i, you and i, you and i)
(you and i, you and i, you and i)

Fame, makes a man take things over.
Fame, let's him lose, hard to swallow.
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow.
Fame.

Fame,
It's not your brain, it's just a flame,
That burns your change to keep you insane.

Fame.

-"oh, good, you're on, too, sean, stay on, something's wrong with this..."
-"don't be afraid! don't be afraid!"
-"you sound familiar, you sound like...sound like me actually."
-"that's because we conditioned our vibrations to yours."

Human civilization is in a state of hibernation,
We'll grow to know the planets full distribution.
The world as our reflection will regain its circulation,
Our life span will meet our life plan of starpeace.

Human civilization is in a state of isolation,
We'll learn to reach out for terrestrial communications.
We'll make our first migration from earth to other constellations,
Our life span will meet out life plane of starpeace.

Love is our energy source, wisdom is our power source.
Health is our nature resource,
Growth is our future resource.

Join the state of the universe,
United state of peace.
Join the state of the universe,
United state of peace.

But i wanna say it now.
I love you, i love you, i love you, earth.
I love you, i love you, i love you now.

I love you, earth, you are beautiful,
I love the way you shine.
I love your valleys, i love your mornings,

Why, i'd never know.
Over blue mountains, over green fields,
I wanna scream about it now.

I love you, i love you, i love you, earth.
I love you, i love you, i love you now.

You are our meeting point of infinity,
You are our turning point in eternity.

Ev'ry man has a woman who loves him,
Rain or shine or life or death.

If he finds her in this life time,
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast.

Why do i roam when i know you're the one?
Why do i laugh when i feel like crying?

Ev'ry woman has a man who loves her,
Rise or fall of her life and in death.

If she finds him in this life time,
She will know when she looks into his eyes.

Why do i roam when i know you're the one?
Why do i run when i feel like holding you?

Ev'ry man has a woman who loves him,
If he finds her in this life time he will know.

If you knew peggy sue,
Then you know why i feel blue without peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, well, i love you, gal,
Yes, i love you, peggy sue.

God is a concept
By which we measure our pain.

What a waste of human power,
What a waste of human lives.
Shoot the pris'ners in the towers,
Forty-three poor widowed wives.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Media blames it on the pris'ners,
But the pris'ners did not kill.
"rockefeller pulled the trigger,"
That is what the people feel.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Free all pris'ners, jail all judges,
Free all pris'ners ev'rywhere.
All they want is truth and justice,
All the need is love and care.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

They all live in suffocation,
Let's not watch them die in sorrow. (yeh!)
Now's the time for revolution,
Give them all a chance to grow.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Come together, join the movement,
Take a stand for human rights.
Fear and hatred clouds our judgement,
Free us all from endless night.

Attica state, attica state,
We're all mates with attica state.

Attica state, attica state,
We all live in attica state.

Attica state, attica state,
Attica, attica, attica state.

"hello,
Oh, hi!
How are you?
Mm, i'm fine.
What's up?
Umm-umm, no, no, it's alright.
Er, yeah, go ahead, i'm listening.
Umm-umm, hah-hah, yeah, umm...
Umm-umm,
Umm-umm."

He was a mindweaver, always on the phone,
Telling me all sorts of hurt of his own.
Although his voice was sweet to me,
I wondered if we could ever be.

He was a mindbeater, always on the phone,
Telling me all sorts of what i did wrong.
Although his voice was sweet to me,
I wondered if we could ever be.

He was a mindbender, always on the phone,
Telling me all sorts of dreams he has sewn.
Although his voice was sweet to me,
I wondered if we could ever be.

This is hell in paradise,
We're all asleep or paralyzed.
Why are we scared to verbalize
Our multicolor dreams?

When will we come to realize,
We're all stoned or pacified,
While the boogie men organize
Their multilevel schemes?

Underqualified for love,
Overqualified for life,
Sticking our heads in slime,
Thinking we're in our prime.

Mesmerized by mythology,
Hypnotized by ideology,
Antagonized by reality,
Vandalized by insanity,
Desensitized by fraternity,
Sanitized by policy,
Jeopardized by lunacy.

Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy.
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call,
It's adam's ball, eve's call.

Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out,
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to,
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.

This is hell in paradise,
None of us wish to recognize.
But do we want them to materialize
An endangered species?

Exorcise institution,
Exercise intuition,
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

Oh-oh! oh-oh!
Oh-oh! oh-oh!

The food is cold,
Your eyes are cold,
The window's cold,
The bed's cold.

Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me - ah!
Give me - ah!
Give me - ah!

The chair's hard,
Your voice is hard,
The money's hard,
The living's hard.

Give me something that's not
Hard, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Hard, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Hard, come on, come on, come on!
Give me - ah!
Give me - ah!
Give me - ah!

I'll give you my heartbeat
And a bit of tear and flesh.
It's not very much but while it's there,
You can have it,
You can have it.

You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss
A fly is just a fly
Right, and we're together
A rose is a rose.

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.

A thousand years of torture and hunger,
Drove the people away from their land.
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the british brigands!
Goddamned!
Goddamned!

If you could keep voices like flowers,
There's be shamrock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams like irish streams,
Then the world would be as high as the mountain of morn.

In the 'pool they told us the story
How the english divided the land.
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of auld eireland.

If we could make chains with the morning dew,
The world would be like galway bay.
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
The world would be one big blarney stone.

Why the hell are the english there anyway?
As they kill with god on their side!
Blame it all on the kids and the i.r.a.
As the bastards commit genocide!
Aye! aye!
Genocide!

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
Yes, you'd wish you was english instead.

A one, two, three.

J.o.h.n.n.y.,
God's little gift, cream and pie.

Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, milk and honey,
God's little gift for woman.

I want you clever but not too clever,
I want you bad but not too bad.
I want you strong but not too strong,
I want you to try your rightful position.

Oh, too, too much, i mean, it's so good.

Men, men, snails and puppies,
Your muscles are not for fighting in war.
Your lips are not for voicing opinions,
Your eyes are there for us to look into.
I want you to take your rightful position.

Oh, too, too much, i mean, it's so good.

Men, men, grapes and nuts,
Your pants are never tight enough,
Your boots are never long enough.
Your skin is never young enough,
I want you to hold your rightful position.

Pardon me, honeycum, your hair piece's slipping.

Men, men, apples and figs,
I like you to be faithful but not very fussy,
I like you to be behind me but not just beside me.
I like you to shut up but know when to say yes,
I want you to learn your frightful position.

Pardon me, starstud, your cod piece's showing.

Now you know what you have to do-oh,
Now you know what's expected of you-hoo-hoo-hoo.
So come, come, come, come,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and see me sometime,
Come up and see me sometime.

-"ladies and gents, i'd like to introduce you to my lower half, without whom i won't be breathing so heavily.
Honey juice, you can come out of the box now..."

-"yes, dear."

Okay, yoko
Peace -
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace.
(peace, peace, peace, peace...)
Peace -
Let's hope for peace, (peace, peace, peace, peace!)
Peace -
Let's hope for peace,
Peace -
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john, let's hope for peace
For our children,
For our country,
For our world,
For our future,
Oh, john, let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Peace -
Peace, peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john -
Peace.
Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.

John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the
Youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for
Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a
Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's
Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor
Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about
Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna
Just to give people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them.
And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for
Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we
Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment
With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning
For thousands of years. they know how to play the game violence and it's easier for
Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle
Humour, peaceful humour and that's our message really.

Questioner: what do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?

John: haven't a clue.

Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in
Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of
Peace through violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that,
That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and
Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're trying to do.

Questioner: what would you do in case of a war?

John: how do you mean?

Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?

John: i'd die of fright.

Yoko: i don't think that should happen. you talk as if something's going to happen
Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same
World and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any
Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in
The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only
Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the world
Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so
That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.

Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during
The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible
Than the others?

John: no, not particularly.

Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was really
Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were
Really aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you
Know, well, which is almost impossible, i'm sure, but as much as possible and if the
Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, i'm sure.

John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time
Before they made any decision about what to do. i'm not quite sure of the facts, you
Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier,
But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money,
Their territory.

Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..

John: no. i don't think so because...

Questioner: hitler could have been voted by the french, for instance.

John: every nation will have a prototype. i think i was out talking to one of the
Austrian tv guys. i said can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of
Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack
Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, i don't know whether that's
True.

Qustioner: but they were silent at the wrong moment...

John: okay, that's bad, i agree that silence is bad. but i mean there isn't one european
Country that hasn't had its hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what
They did to india and south africa, you know.

Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to
Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because those are the people
Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the next world, you
Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or anything like
That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're just
Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work
For the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we think is
The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is just as bad as
Before the second world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything,
All the violence that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we
Don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going
To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we find in the
Newspaper, find that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.

Questioner: i agree with you, but don't you see, i mean, it's a fact that by through your
Behaviour, i think it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get
Suspicious. they don't think that this can be correct, people sitting under a
Tablecloth protesting against wars. they don't think...

Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay,
Go ahead, and they should do it in their own way, but do something, you know.

Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?

John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and we're
Staying in bed for peace, but i'm as violent as the next man, and i'm sure yoko is just as
Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. i prefer myself when i'm non-
Violent. i prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living
And if we have to have violence, let's channel it, you know.
I don't know how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or
Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but i don't want to be
Involved in their violence. i prefer to live in peace, you know.

Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and
Take off all your clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you
See. just courage and if everybody gets courage and of course they would,
Because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do,
But look at john and yoko they're doing worse, so i can do it, you know.
That's all we're trying to do, you see.

Questioner: so you're putting courage, also, into the world?

John: we hope so.

Yoko: i hope so.

John: okay.


Stay in bed!

John: look there's a fly flitting around. just makes you laugh.

Yoko: what time is it?

John: what's the time?

Yoko: what?

John: 9:30.good morning. i was saying about bagism,you see, you get in this bag and you
Jump out the window. next thing you know, you got a policeman on your head. you want tea?

Yoko: you know what i want, john?

John: what; what, what, what. oh, give us a chance! you want one before i do. yes, our
Name got round a lot. could i have room service, please. do you want toast?

Yoko: just tea. which do you want, coffee or tea?

John: tea.

Yoko: tea.

John: two tea's please. yeah, 902 and some toast. yeah, brown toast.
Good morning. yeah, yeah. i know and some toast. brown toast. yeah. thank you. bye, bye.
Alright then....

John: hello, dog. it's beautiful no, no, no. it'll just take a lot of looking after. well
Think about you, amsterdam. it's a lovely dog, huh.

Yoko: yes, it's lovely.

John: thank you very much.

Visitor: here you are.

John: thank you. you gonna take him off me now'!

Visitor: yeah, if you don't mind. thank you very much.

John: i thought you were giving

Visitor: bye, bye. bye, bye. no, no.

John: i sort of was under that impression. she gave us the dog and then went away. very nice.

Yoko: it's rather sort of really swinging though. don't you think so?

Here we go again and again,
Wond'rin' how it all began,

Round and round we go,

Someone keeps on moving the door.

We were waiting for peter, the dealer,
He comes in the evening when we're fussing in bed.
He says, "good morning, here's your breakfast",
And give us plates of stone.
Take a pinta blood each from us to give to the poor.

We count the windows in the cities and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it in the cupboard when you're out.

We were waiting for peter, the wheeler,
He comes in the morning when we're fast asleep.
Gives us a trip that's spending hundred years in a day,
And takes a bone each from us to give to the dogs.

We count the wrinkles on the globe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it on the shelf when you rap.

We were waiting for peter, the blower,
He comes in when we're fixing snow on rock.
Gives us orange juice laced with sunshine and spring,
And takes a heart each from us to give to the world.

We count the memories that are lost and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
Throw it in the ocean when you go.

We were waiting for peter, the weaver,
He comes in a flash when we're wide awake.
Says the world can't give us answers
'cause it's stuttering in its mind.
Takes a head each off us to give us some peace.

We count the lights in the universe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

When i was a little boy,
Way back home in liverpool,
My mama told me, i was great.

Then when i was a teenager,
I knew that i had got something going,
All my friends told me i was great.

And now i'm a man,
A woman took me by the hand,
And you know what she told me...i was great.

I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth.
Now i'm only thirty-two;
And all i wanna do, is boogaloo!

Hey!

I looked in the mirror,
I saw my wife and kids,
And you know what they told me...i was great.

And see us through our confusion.

As it is to be.

For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.

For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,

I was sitting in the field, feeling the grass.
Counting the stars as they come out.
Feeling (feeling) the breeze, (feeling the breeze)
Feeling (feeling) the spring. (feeling the spring)
Suddenly i noticed there wasn't light anymore.

Run, run, run, run, run to the light,
Run, run, run, run, run for your life.

I tumbled on roots, stumbled on stones.
Lost my marbles, stepped on my glasses.
Feeling (feeling) the air, (feeling the air)
Feeling (feeling) the wind. (feeling the wind)
Suddenly i noticed it wasn't fun anymore.

Run, run, run, run, run towards the light,
Run, run, run, run, run for your life.

I came out of the darkness into the house,
The lights were left on but nobody around.
Feeling (feeling) the room, (feeling the room)
Feeling (feeling) the space. (feeling the space)

Of perfect harmony.

Walking on thin ice,
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air.
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?

I gave you my knife,
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?

I may cry some day,
But the tears will dry whichever way.
And when our hearts return to ashes,
It'll be just a story,
It'll be just a story.

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

Ooh-ahooh...

"i knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake,
'course it was winter when all this was ice.
That's a hell of a thing to do, you know.
They say the lake is as big as the ocean.
I wonder if she knew about it?"

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

- "once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy who asked his father,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once there was this little boy and he went to..."

- "mummy...you should remember this more because d'you know why?"
- "why?"
- "i learnt it from my daddy, you know."
- "umm-umm."
- "hah-hah."

- "once there was this little boy who asked his father
To tell him that old, old, old, old, old, old story.
Once upon a time there was this little boy who said,
Would you tell me that old, old story?
Once upon..."

- "you could see...it can end anywhere!
It can end...it's just a little story."

Wake up in the morning, my hands cold in fear.
And midsummer new york my heart shakes in terror.
My heart, my hands, my legs, my mind,
Ev'rything i touch is shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.

Wake up in the morning, my bed's wet in sweat.
And midsummer new york, scream in the mirror.
And the door, and the chairs, and the floor, and the ceiling,
Ev'rything you see is aching, shaking, shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.
And you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.

Wake up in the morning, my mind's dried up in pain.
Midsummer new york's waiting for the rain.
The window, the trees, the park, the sun,
The whole world' s shaking, is shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh.

Shake, oh, shake, oh, shake,
Shake, oh, shake, shake.
Aching, aching, aching, aching, aching,
Oh, it's aching, aching, aching, oh, aching,
Aching, aching, oh, it's aching, aching, oh, oh.

Shaking, shaking,
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
Shake!

Shake, shake, shake.

The years have passed so quickly,
One thing i understood:
I'm only learning to tell the trees from wood.

I know what's coming down
And i know where it's coming from.
And i know and i'm sorry, yes, i am,
But i never could speak my mind.

And i know just how you feel,
And i know now what i have done.
And i know and i'm guilty, yes, i am,
But i never could read your mind.

I know what i was missing,
But now my eyes can see.
I put myself in your place as you did for me.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday, yeh,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.

And i know what's coming down
And i know where it's coming from.
And i know it's getting better all the time,
As we share in each other's mind.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday, hey,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.

Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a phone box round the corner.

I never had a chance to choose my own parents,
I'd never know why i should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always trying not to eat
And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze.

I never had a chance to choose my own name,
I'd never know why i should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a station wagon round the block.

I looked at the mirror and told myself,
I'm glad i still don't look like them at least.
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror,
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war.

I went to shake hands with the president in miami,
I went to a rock show to see mick jagger.
And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life,
They had paint on their faces just like mommy's.

Am i going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am i going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am i plain gone or is it the world?
Daddy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy.

Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry,
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall.

Am i going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am i going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am i plain gone or is it the world?
Mommy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a church yard round the corner.

- "i need a beginning"
- "right!"
- "here we go!"
- "rock and roll with it"
- "when in doubt...fuck it! no..no...you can't not control your prick!"

-"there's a break ev'ry time, there"
-"................?.................."
-"no, oh, i thought it was you, sombody was hangin' over, maybe a foot on the pedal or something"
-"................?.................."
-"well, would you do it, jim? eh, i don't know what you do it on.....yeah!"
-".one, one, two, three, four"


Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru this god awful loneliness,
A natural high butterfly.
Oh, i, i need. need, need her.

Just like a willow tree,
A breath of spring, you see.
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me,
She makes me sweat, forget who i am.
Oh i, i need, need, need her.

Well, i was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
'cause i thought i could never be surprised.

But could it be that i bit my own tongue?
Mm-hmm,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.

A bird of paradise,
Sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that i, oh, i love, love, love her.

- "stay on your d! - d! - stay there. hey!"

Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Such sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.

- "ok, thank you! stop! let me just check it"

Let the tears dry and bring back your smile,
Hear the mountains cry.
The tears will grow where you laid your tears,
Rivers will flow, rivers will flow,
Flow where you rest your fears.

A soul has fled when the blood was shed,
A soul that cared for life so deeply.
The memory will grow in us
And make you and i a family.

Na-omi-ah (yeah)

I'm a battleship, frozen by my mother's anger,
Anchored in the north pole sea.
I'm a sphinx, stamped on the hilton poster,
Hoping to see the desert.
I'm a woman without country or state.
Opening her head to the universe,
Hundred thousand people in me.
Ev'ry day they're growing,
Ev'ry day they're feeling.

He's an infant, blinded from his mother's sorrow,
Crawling in the bleeding sky.
He's a building, floating in spring air,
Hoping to open his windows.
He's a man, bound on earth soil,
Reaching his hands to the universe,
Hundred thousand people in him.
Ev'ry day they're feeling,
Ev'ry day they're growing.

Growing pain, growing joy,
Growing pain, growing joy.
Growing together, reaching each other.

Growing pain, growing joy,
Growing pain, growing joy.
Growing together, reaching each other.

One, two, three, four!!

My man is the best in the world,

His head's in the clouds, but his feet on the ground,
And when he speaks, all the birds come around.
I love you, i love you.

His eyes got the shine of the ancient stars,
His heartbeat is the beat of the ocean,
He smells like an aztec magic potion.

(i love you, i love you, i love you)

I flew a kite, i held on tight to its string.
Each time i go anywhere, i held on tight.
In the middle of the night i woke up in fright,
Thinking maybe in my dream i let go of my kite.

When i was in a restaurant, talking to my friends,
Watching their mouths move faster and faster.
I thought of the kite that was flying in the sky
And made sure that my hand was holding the string.
That was a long time ago,
Many skies went by since then.
Now my hands stopped holding anything
And i've learnt to take a walk instead.

Then one day in the evening light,
I saw something strange shining bright.
The sky was dark, with swarms of larks,
And in the midst of it all, yes, it was my kite.

How did the kite get there, i'll never know,
Floating away among the clouds to where nobody knows.

I held my gun with both my hands,
Slowly aiming at the shining dot.
The shot went off, the dot blew off,
Since then i've never seen the kite again.

Two, one, two, three, four.

Forgive me, my little flower princess
For crushing your delicateness.
Forgive me,
Uh, uh, uh, forgive me.

Forgive me, my little flower princess
...selfishness.
Forgive me,
Forgive me.

And i know there is no way to repay you,
Whatever it takes i will try to,
The rest of my life i will thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
My little...

If you forgive me, my little flower princess,
Never too late, unless...
You can for...
Mm, mm...

Time is on our side,
Let's not waste another minute,
'cause i love you, my little friend,
I really love you.

Give me just one more chance and i'll show you,
Take up the dance where we left off,
The rest of our life is the...
My little...

I'm home!

It ain't fair, john sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air.
Won't you care for john sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air?
Let him be, set him free,
Let him be like you and me.

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the judges do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free.

If he'd been a soldier man,
Shooting gooks in vietnam,
If he was the c.i.a.,
Selling dope and making hay,
He'd be free, they'd let him be,
Breathing air like you and me.
Right on!

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the judges do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!

They gave him ten for two,
They got old lee otis too!
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free now!

Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing ev'ryone?
Free john now, if you can,
From the clutches of the man.
Let him be, lift the lid,
Bring him home to his wife and kids.
Alright!

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the bastards do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!

-"yer blues, okay?"

One, two, yeah... one, two, three...

Yes, i'm lonely, wanna die;
Yes, i'm lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

In the mornin', wanna die;
In the evenin', wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the earth;
But i am of the universe,
And you know what it's worth.

I'm lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye,
The worm he licks my bone;
I feel so suicidal,
Just like dylan's mister jones.

Lonely, wanna die.
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind,
Blue mist round my soul,
Feel so suicidal,
Even hate my rock and roll.

I'm lonely, wanna die, yeah!
If i ain't dead already,
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why.

How can i go forward when i don't know which way i'm facing?
How can i go forward when i don't know which way to turn?
How can i go forward into something i'm not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no.

How can i have feelings when i don't know if it's a feeling?
How can i feel something if i just don't know how to feel?
How can i have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no,
Oh no.

You know life can be long,
And you got to be so strong.
And the world is so tough,
Sometimes i feel i've had enough.

How can i give love when i don't know what it is i'm giving?
How can i give love when i just don't know how to give?
How can i give love when love is something i ain't never had?
Oh no,
Oh no.

You know life can be long,
And you got to be so strong.
And the world is so tough,
Sometimes i feel i've had enough.

How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no.

All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.

All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.

Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.

I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.

All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
All you really needed to do is maybe some love.

Multicolor dreams.

Multilevel schemes.

Underqualified for love,
Overqualified for life,
Sticking our heads in slime,
Thinking we're in our prime.

Mesmerized by mythology,
Hypnotized by ideology,
Antagonized by reality,
Vandalized by insanity,
Desensitized by fraternity,
Sanitized by policy,
Jeopardized by lunacy.

Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy.
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call,
It's adam's ball, eve's call.

Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out,
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to,
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.

An endangered species?

Exorcise institution,
Exercise intuition,
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

Forgive me, my love,
For hiding my soul from you.
It seems easier for us
If i don't show all of myself.

How am i gonna tell you how i miss you?
How am i gonna tell you how i need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We lay an ocean between us.

Forgive me, my love,
For closing my eyes to our love.
It seems easier for us
If we thought this was just a play.

How am i gonna tell you how i miss you?
How am i gonna tell you how i need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We hold an ocean inside us.

Let me take your hand
And press it on my breast
And you will know that
The ocean is for you.

Dub-dub train passed through my mind,
Dub-dub train passed through my mind,
Oh, oh, ah, ah.

I thought of killing that man,
Oh, oh, dub-dub train passed through my mind.
Oh, oh.

33 windows shining through my mind,
Shining through my...ooh
Dub-dub, dub-dub, oh, dub-dub,
Ooh, ooh,

Ooh... dub-dub, ooh, ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Train, train, ooh, ooh, train,
Dub-dub, dub-dub, dub-dub...
I thought of killing that man,
I thought of killing that man, man, dub-dub,
Dub-dub train passed through my mind,
Dub-dub, dub-dub, dub-dub.

Dub! dub!

Ooh, ooh, ooh...
Train, ooh, ooh...
Dub-dub, dub-dub, dub-dub, train.

Train, train, train.
Dub-dub, dub-dub, dub-dub, dub-dub, ooh...

Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh...
Dub-dub!

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.

- "good"
- "that's my favourite song"
- "very good"
- "who was singing "i need somebody to love", you?
- "it was ringo but paul and i was singing with him."
- "what's this song called?"
- "what's it called? i've forgotten what it's called..."

What would you think if i sang out a song...
- "it's "sang out of tune"
- "oh, "a little help from my friends", that's what it's called!"

When i come in my dream to a house i've never seen before,
I have a tendency to look for the exit door.
'cause i never know it may be that house again,
I never know, i never know.

When i come in my mind to a stream that's running gently,
I have a tendency to run like a frightened deer.
'cause i never know it may take me to that ocean again,
I never know, i never know.

I usually stay away from being carried away,
But one day i saw a silver horse.
I though he might take me to that somewhere high,
I thought he might take me to that deep blue sky.

I came to realize that the horse had no wings.
"no wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know."

I learnt to travel the world around
And run on the ground in the morning.
And that's the story of a wandering soul,
A story of a dreamer.

Recorded live 3 june 1973 at the first international feminist conference, harvard university, cambridge, ma.


"while john is setting up the amp...
What happened to me was that i was living as an artist and, who had relative freedom
As a woman and was considered the bitch in the society.
Since i met john, i was upgraded into a witch and i was...and i think that that's very flattering.
Anyway, what i learned from being with john is that the society solely treated me as a woman, as a woman who belonged to a man who is one of the most powerful people in our generation, and some of his closest friends told me that probably i should stay in the background, i should shut up, i should give up my work and that way i'll be happy.
And i got those advises, i was luck, i was over thirty and it was too late for me to change,
But still, still, this is one thing i want to say, sisters, because, with the wish that you know
You're not alone, i...because the whole society started to attack me and the whole society wished me dead, i started accumulating a tremendous amount of guilt complex and in result of that i started to stutter. and i consider myself a very eloquent woman and also an attractive woman all my life and suddenly, because i was associated to john, that was considered an ugly woman, ugly jap, who took your monument or something away from you.
And that's when i realised how hard it is for woman, if i can start to stutter, being a strong woman and having lived thirty years by then, learn to stutter in three years of being treated as such, it is a very hard road.
Now the next song is called "coffin car" and this is a song that i observed in myself and also in many sisters who are riding on coffin cars.

Okay

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car,
She likes to ride a coffin car.
People watching her with tender eyes,
Friends whispering in kindly words,
Children running, waving hands,
Telling each other, how pretty she is.

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car,
She likes to ride a coffin car.
Friends making ways for the first time,
People throwing kisses for the first time,
Showering flowers, ringing bells,
Telling each other, how nice she is.

Coffin car, she likes to ride a coffin car,
She's riding a coffin car.
Wives showing tears for the first time,
Husbands taking their hats off for the first time,
Crushing their handkerchiefs, rubbing their nose,
Telling each other, how good she is.

Half the world is dead anyway,
The other half is asleep.
And life is killing her,
Telling her to join the dead.

So ev'ry day, she likes to ride a coffin car,
A flower covered coffin car,
Pretending she was dead.

Coffin car,
A flower covered coffin car,
A flower covered coffin car,
A flower covered coffin car.

-"okay?
Yes, thank you."

Look at me,
Who am i supposed to be?
Who am i supposed to be?
Look at me.

What am i supposed to be?
What am i supposed to be?
Look at me.
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love.

Here i am,
What am i supposed to do?
What am i supposed to do?
Here i am.

What can i do for you?
What can i do for you?
Here i am.
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love.

Look at me,
Oh, please, look at me, my love.
Here i am,
Oh, my love.

Who am i?
Nobody knows but me,
Nobody knows but me.
Who am i?

Nobody else can see,
Just you and me.
Who are we?
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love.

Mm, dum, doo, dum,
Mm, dum, doo, da-da, dum.

It's only sane to be insane,
Psychotic builds a castle and neurotic lives in it.
I don't know what to do with my sanity
When the world's at a verge of calamity.

O' sanity, o' sanity,
What am i to do with you?
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But she's always standing behind me like a devil in hell.

O' sanity, o' sanity,
Why don't you let me go?
Let go, let go,
Cut it out!

-"sneaky!"


I'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared,
I'm scared, so scared.
I'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared,
As the years roll away,
And the price that i paid
And the straws slip away.

You don't have to suffer,
It is what it is.
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh no!

I'm scarred, i'm scarred, i'm scarred,
I'm scarred, oh no.
I'm scarred, i'm scarred, i'm scarred,
Ev'ry day of my life,
I just manage to survive,
I just wanna stay alive.

You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell.
Just dance to the music,
You do it so well, well, well!

Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me,
I guess i knew it right from the start.
Sing out about love and peace,
Don't wanna see the red raw meat,
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart.

I'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired
Of being so alone.
No place to call my home,
Like a rolling stone.

Stand even!

Wow!



Hey, yeah!
