Original lyrics by christina rossetti (1830 - 1894)


Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor i.
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor i.
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.

Oh, wind, wind,
Wind, wind, wind.

Who has seen enough?
Only me and john.
But when a smile goes 'round the world
Our love is catching on.

Oh, smile, smile,
Smile, smile, smile.

Who has seen your dream?
Only you and him.
But when the world gets bright and clear
You know that we were there.

Oh, world, world,
World, world, world.

Will you touch me, will you touch me,
When my body's full of fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me,
When my body's so cold?

Nothing short of the softest word can reach me now.
Nothing but the warmest heart can touch me now.

Will you hold me, will you hold me,
When my mind is full of fears?
Will you kiss me, will you kiss me,
When my mind is so down?

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
Nothing in the world can open my heart but some kindness.

Will you touch me, will you touch me,
When i'm shaking in fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me,
When i'm trembling with tears?

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
And nothing in the world can open my heart but your kindness.

Mm -

Listen to your heart,
Respect your intuition.
Make your manifestation,
There's no limitation.
Have courage,
Have rage, we're all together.

Oh - uh... ad lib

Have courage,
Have rage, we're all together.

Oh - uh... ad lib

Follow your heart,
Use your intuition.
Make your manifestation,
There's no confusion.
Have courage,
Have rage, we're rising.

Oh - uh... ad lib

Follow your heart,
Use your intuition.
Make your manifestation,
There's no confusion.
Have courage,
Have rage, we're rising.

Oh - uh...ad lib

Follow your heart,
Use your intuition.
Make your manifestation,
Have courage,
Have rage, we're rising.

Oh - uh... ad lib

Have courage,
Have rage, we're rising.
There's no confusion.
We're all together.

Sittin' in the la la,

Where do we go from here.
Where do we go from here,
Where do we go from here.
If we sweep the bottom of the rivers
We find bodies that shouldn't be there.
If we sweep the courts and offices
We find heads that shouldn't be there.

Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here? where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If we sweep the shelters and asylums,
We'll find women that shouldn't be there.
If we sweep the dark streets and alleys,
We'll find dealers that shouldn't be there.

Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.

Why do we miss you so if you're just a speck of dust?

Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for god and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for god and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror? (where do we go from here?)
Are we getting ready for god and terror? (where do we go from here?)

Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.
Ready to, ready to, ready to, ready to, ready to, ready to,

Where do we go from here?

As recorded by david bowie


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.

Fame, what you like is in the limo.
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.
Fame, what you need you have to borrow.
Fame.

Fame,
Now it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time it drives you to crime.

Fame.

Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame.
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool?
Fame.

Fame,
Bully for you,
Chilly for me,
Got to get a raincheck on pain.

Fame.

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, - fame.

What's your name?

(fame, fame)
(fame, fame)

Yang yang holds on to a giant phone,
Yang yang's soft voice goes on and on,
I hate you, i hate you, where did it go wrong?
Yangyang goes talking to himself on the phone.

Yang yang sends his men pebbles and stones,
Yang yang rips his women down to the bones.
I own you, i own you, so give us a song,
Yangyang goes talking to his world on the phone.

Yang yang's born with a phone cord 'round his neck,
Yang yang never fails to stick to his kick.
I want you, i want you, you're making me sick.
But yangyang, the chord's never long enough
To reach your mommy's trick.

Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang, snap out,
Give up, cut out,
Tune up and join us,
Join the revolution,
Join the revolution.

No kick is good enough for lifetime substitution,
No brick will give you a lifetime consolation.
And whether you dig it or not,
We outnumber you in population.
And leave your private institution,
Get down to real communication,
Leave your scene of destruction
And join us in revolution.

Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang, wake up,
Give up, cut out,
Come out and join us,
Join the revolution,
Join the revolution.

Oh, please don't give me that!

Yes, i'm a witch,
I'm a bitch
I don't care what you say,
My voice is real.
My voice speaks truth,
I don't fit in your ways.

I'm not gonna die for you,
You might as well face the truth,
I'm gonna stick around for quite awhile.

We're gonna say,
We're gonna try,
We're gonna try it our way.
We've been repressed,
We've been depressed,
Suppression all the way.

We're not gonna die for you,
We're not seeking vengeance,
But we're not gonna kill ourselves for your convenience.

Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.
Each time we close our minds to how we feel, we're dying.
Each time we gotta do what we wanna do, we're living.
Each time we're open to what we see and hear, we're living.

We'll free you from the getthos of your minds,
We'll free you from your fears and binds,
We know you want things to stay as it is,
It's gonna change, baby.

It's gonna change, baby doll,
It's gonna change, honey ball,
It's gonna change, sugar cane,
It's gonna change, sweetie legs.
So don't try to make cock-pecked people out of us.

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.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between chairman mao and richard nixon
If we strip them naked.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between marylin monroe and lenny bruce
If we check their coffins.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between white house and hall of people
If we count their windows.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between raquel welch and jerry rubin
If we hear their heartbeat.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between eldridge cleaver and the queen of england
If we bottle their tears.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between manson and the pope
If we press their smile.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between you and me
If we show our dreams.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

Hey!

What's the diff'rence?

What's the diff'rence?
What's the diff'rence?
What's, what's oh, what's?

There's no diff'rence!
There's no diff'rence!
What's the diff'rence?

What's the diff'rence?

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....

You've heard of woman nation,
Well, that's coming, baby.
What we need is the power of trust,
That it's coming.
You've heard of the law of selection,
Well, that's how we're gonna do it, baby.
We allow men who wanna join us
The rest can just stay by themselves.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Two thousand years of male society,
Laying fear and tyranny.
Seeking grades and money,
Clinging to values vain and phony.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Do you know that one day you lost your way, man?
Do you know that some day you have to pay, man?
Have you anything to say, man, except
"make no mistake about it, i'm the president, you hear?
I wanna make one thing clear, i'm the president, you hear?"

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

You don't hear them singing songs,
You don't see them living life,
'cause they've got nothing to say, but
"make no mistake about it, i'm the president, you hear?
I wanna make one thing clear, i'm the president, you hear?"

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

You may be the president now,
You may still be a man.
But you must also be a human,
So open up and join us in living.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

In the coming age of feminine society,
We'll regain our human dignity.
We'll lay some truth and clarity
And bring back nature's beauty.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Ev'ry woman has a song to sing,
Ev'ry woman has a story to tell.
Make no mistake about it, brothers,
We women have the power to move mountains.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)

Did you have to cook the meals?
Did you have to knit?
Did you have to care for life instead of killing?
There's no mistake about it, sisters,
We women have the power to change the world.

Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power! (woman power!)
Woman power!
Woman power!
Woman power! (woman power!)

(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)
(woman power!)

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,
It's gonna rain.

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

Early in the morning i feel my pillow,
I listen to the soundless phone.

My thighs are sweaty, freezing inside,
Our bed's empty as ever.

What a bastard you are,
Leaving me all night missing you.

Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while,
See if i'm asleep or just closing my eyes.

I quickly get up and throw my pillows,
Throw an ashtray filled with butts.

Where were you all night if i may ask you so?
Though i don't care at all, i'd just like to know.

Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from,
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap.

You know half the world is occupied with you pigs,
I can always get another pig like you.
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me,
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?

But don't you be too happy,
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction,
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
To have some human conversation.

Then i'll glow, i'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax.
And i can walk out into the world, singing with my people.

But now i couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door,
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb.

Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard,
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?

Are you listening?

Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go,
I didn't mean it, i'm just in pain.

I'm sorry, i'm sorry.

The door is closed, she's left alone,
Making herself a breakfast.
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out,
Watching the trees grow day by day.

What a bastard the world is,
Taking my man away from me,
Taking the world away from me.

Female lib is nice for joan of arc,
But it's a long, long way for terry and jill.

Most of us were taught not to shout our will,
Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill.
And all of us live under the mercy of male society,
Thinking that their want is our need.

"for the other half in the sky."

Woman, i can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness,
After all, i'm forever in your debt.
And woman, i will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success.

Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,

Woman, i know you understand
The little child inside the man.
Please remember, my life is in your hand.
And woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart.
After all, it is written in the stars.

Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,

Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again.

I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah.

Well, it was sunday, bloody sunday when the shot the people there.
The cries of thirteen martyrs filled the free derry air.
Is there anyone amongst you dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding when they nailed the coffin lids!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Well, you claim to be majority, well, you know that it's a lie.
You're really a minority on this sweet emerald isle.
When stormont bans our marches, they've got a lot to learn,
Internment is no answer, it's those mothers' turn to burn.

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Hey! yeah!
Yeah!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

All you anglo pigs and scotties sent to colonise the north,
You wave your bloody union jacks and you know what it's worth.
How dare you hold to ransom a people proud and free?
Keep ireland to the irish, put the english back to sea!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Hey, hey, hey!
Alright!
Ooh -
Yeah!

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Well, it's always bloody sunday in the concentration camps.
Keep falls road free forever from the bloody british hands.
Repatriate to britain all of you who call it home,
Leave ireland to the irish not for london or for rome.

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday.

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.

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.

Translated from japanese


Let's have a dream, let's have a dream,
No matter how hard it is, let's survive another day.
I want to climb the sphinx under the moon.
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Let's love each other, let's love each other,
No matter how we struggle, we die tomorrow.
I want to caress the new york skyline
And love each other, love each other.

Let's forgive each other, forgive each other,
No matter how we have each other, it's a life that ends tomorrow.
Let's watch the water of the seine pass by
And let's forgive each other, forgive each other.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,
Wanna forgive each other,
Wanna meet, wanna meet, wanna meet,
Love, love, love, love,
I miss you!

Let's have a dream, let's have a dream,
No matter how hard it is, let's survive another day.
I wanna be blown by the willow in ginza.
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

I want to be immersed in the green of japan
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,
Wanna forgive each other,
Wanna meet, wanna meet, wanna meet,
Love, love, love, love,
I miss you!

For jamie and the boys, ready?

O'oh, trees are laughing,

O'oh, water shining,
O'oh, people rolling,
O'oh, july 4th in new york city

I never knew we could be so nice to each other,
I never thought we'd be laughing together,
I never knew life could be so sweet and simple,
I never thought that was possible.

O'oh, papers flying,
O'oh, dogs are chasing,
O'oh, clouds are dreaming,
O'oh, people dancing,
O'oh, july 4th in new york city.

I never knew we could be so kind to each other,
I never thought we'd be singing together,
I never knew life could be so sweet and simple,
I never thought that was possible.

O'oh, central park,
O'oh, evening skyline,
O'oh, helicopter,
O'oh, firecrackers.

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.

Waiting for a boat to help me out.
The boat that reached my shore was a toyboat - mm,
Waiting for a boat to help me out.

I'm dreaming of a lake i've never seen before - mm,
I'm dreaming of a lake i've never seen.
The lake i've seen last was a picture lake - mm,
Dreaming of a lake i've never seen.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

I'm thinking of a castle on a top a hill - mm,
Thinking of a castle on a top a hill.
The castle i've been to was full of flies - mm,
Thinking of a castle on a top a hill.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

As recorded by david bowie


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.

Fame, what you like is in the limo.
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.
Fame, what you need you have to borrow.
Fame.

Fame,
Now it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time it drives you to crime.

Fame.

Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, baby?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really be, really, babe?

Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame.
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool?
Fame.

Fame,
Bully for you,
Chilly for me,
Got to get a raincheck on pain.

Fame.

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, - fame.

What's your name?

(fame, fame)
(fame, fame)

Yes, i'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything
In my magic power.
So make a wish and i'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

You're my fairy,
You give me ev'rything
I ever wanted from life.
Have i made a wish and is that why i have you?
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in pumpkins that turn into princesses
And frogs that turn into princes.
We believe in the moons that smile on us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, i'm so pretty,
You're so dizzy
And we're so happy ev'ry day.
Let's make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

I'm in your pocket,
You're in my locket
And we're so lucky in ev'ry way.
We make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in houses built in the sky,
And love that lift us high.
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulder
And brings our shadows together.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, our hearts are one,
Our bodies, too
And it's so good, mm, ev'rytime.
We make a wish and let it come true for you, too.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Happy birthday, my love,
I'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything in my magic power.
So make a wish and i'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la.

Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see.

I see the wind, oh, i see the trees,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I see the clouds, oh, i see the sky,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.

Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My mind is wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My mind can feel.

I feel sorrow, oh, i feel dreams,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I feel life, oh, i feel love,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.

Two, one, two, three, four.


People say i'm cool,
Ya', i'm a cool, chick baby.
Ev'ry day i thank god
That i'm such a cool, chick baby.

When i'm on the phone, i thank god,
My voice sounds smooth and clear without a trace of tear.
When i'm at work, i thank god,
I still have that smile ma used to say lit her day.

But something inside me, something inside me died that day.

People say i'm cool,
Ya', i'm a cool, chick baby.
Ev'ry day i thank god
That i'm such a cool, chick baby.

When i'm with people, i thank god,
I can talk hip when i'm crying inside.
When i'm with friends, i thank god,
I can lit a cigarette when i'm choking inside.

People say i'm cool,
Ya', i'm a cool, chick baby.
Ev'ry day i thank god
That i'm such a cool, chick baby.

A friend lent me shades
So i could hide my eyes that day.
Was a snowy day,
The shades have seen a lot of things i didn't want to know myself.

Was like an accident, part of growing up,
People tell me.

But something inside me, something inside me died that day.

What do you do-oo? what can you do?
What do you do-oo? what can you do?

Let me count the ways how i love you,
It's like that gentle wind you feel at dawn,
It's like that first sun that hits the dew,
It's like that cloud with a gold lining telling us softly
That it'll be a good day, a good day for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let me count the ways how i miss you,
It's like that oak tree in my childhood garden,
It's like that first summer i spent in egypt,
It's like that warm evening you read to me
Both knowing deeply that it's a good time,
A good time for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let me count the ways how i see you,
It's like that lake in the mountain you heard about,
It's like that autumn sky that stays so blue,
It's like that air around me that holds me so gently,
Whispering strongly
That you're always there, always for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

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.

Peggy sue, peggy sue,
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty peggy sue.
Oh ho, peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, well, i love you, girl,
And i need you, peggy sue.

I love you, peggy sue,
With that love so rare and true,
Oh ho, peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, yes, i love you, girl,
And i want you, peggy sue.

Look out!

Peggy sue, peggy sue,
Oh, how my heart yearns for you,
Oh ho, peggy,
My peggy sue-ue-ue-ue-ue.
Oh, well, i love you, girl,
And i want you, peggy sue.

Oh, yes, i love you, girl,
And i want you, peggy sue.

Oh!

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.

The body is the scar of your mind,
The scar turns into a wind of pain.
It passes mountains after mountains,
It passes the cities and my country.

O'wind, o'wind,
Oh, oh, oh, wind, oh, oh...
Oh, o'wind.

But when it passed the world nine times,
The wind turns into a breeze.

O'wind, oh, oh, oh...
O'wind.

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.

Potbelly rocker holding his joker
But don't know how to lay a poker.
He carries a guitar, holds on to his bars,
Trying to get his head for the future rock.

Potdizzy rocker gets a rockstockbroker
Who claims he's only a fumble harmer.
With his potfull of stars and handful of cars,
Trying to make his bread from the future stock.

Rocksuck doo-doo,
With a big fat choo-choo,
Don't be a coo-coo.
Gotta get ready for the future shock.

Pothappy rocker, a true blue lover.
His life is full of painful corners.
He blows his horn to the world of thorns,
Trying to make his bed for the future shock,

Potluck lulu
With a hot belly doo-doo,
Don't be a boo-boo.
Gotta get 'em ready for the future shock.

Temp'rature's risin', fever is high,
Can't see no future, can't see no sky.

My feet are so heavy, so is my head,
I wish i was a baby, i wish i was dead.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

My body is aching, goose pimple bone.
Can't see nobody, leave me alone.

My eyes are wide open, can't get to sleep,
One thing i'm sure of i'm in at the deep freeze.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Ah, ah.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Thirty-six hours rollin' in pain,
Prayin' to someone, free me again.

Oh, i'll be a good boy, please make me well,
I promise you anything, get me out of this hell.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Oh,
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh -
Uh-ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Aaahhh -

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no,
Uh-ah, uh-ah, aha-ah-ah...
Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Coffin car, she's riding 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 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's riding a coffin car.
Wives showing tears for the first time,
Husband 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.

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.

It's been very hard
But it's getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for a while.

The leaves are shining in the sun,
And i'm smiling inside.
You and i watching each other on a street corner,
Cars and buses and planes and people go by.
But we don't care, we wanna know,
Wanna know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time. (yeh!)

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

It's been very rough,
But it's getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

The streams are twinkling in the sun
And i'm smiling inside.
You and i walking together 'round the street corner.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over.

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?

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.

Here we go again,
Here we go again and again,
Wond'rin' how it all began,
Wond'rin' will it ever end.

Round and round we go,
Where it's going, nobody knows.
Though i know we've been this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

So i say hello again,
And nobody gives a damn,
And nobody wants to hold your hand,
Ev'ryone is an also-ran.

Round and round we go,
Where it's going, nobody knows.
Though i know we've seen this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh,
Round and round we go-oh.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

"ah, remember this?
Why, i must have been thirteen when this came out!
Or was it fourteen?
Or was it twenty-two?
I could have been twelve actually."

Just because you left and said goodbye,
Do you think that i will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, i would rather let you go.

Just because i want someone who's kind,
With a heart as good and pure as mine.
But maybe i am asking for too much,
Darling, please don't ever break my heart.

I know you think you're smart,
Just runnin' around breaking lovers hearts.

Just because you left and said goodbye, hey!
Do you think that i will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, i would rather let you go.

Uh-uh-uh -

"this is doctor winston o'boggie saying goodnight
From record plant east, new york.
We hope you had a swell time!
Ev'rybody here says "hi".
Goodbye."

Just because you left and said goodbye,
Do you think that i will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, i would rather let you go.

Uh-uh-uh -
Goodbye!
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh -
So long!
Been a long year!

Our mother who art of the universe,
Hallow be thy name.
Thy wisdom reign, thy will is done,
As it is to be.

You gave us life and protection,
And see us through our confusion.
Teach us love and freedom,
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,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory.

I turned a corner,
It didn't seem that was wrong,
I was just having a laugh.
But suddenly my friends are gone
And i didn't know that life would be so long.

I turned the clock
And went around the block,
Thought i was just having a laugh.
But suddenly my world was gone
And i found myself standing alone.

I thought i was fighting the ebb of life,
I thought i was cutting the web and the strife.
But i look at the mirror where there used to be a smile,
Now i see a stranger.

Ad lib.

Warzone, ha!

Out to chill, out to kill.

Throats choking.
Watch out, check out.

Skin peeling, bones melting.
Hold your heart, hold your life.

Well, thank you, mr. jitters.
Thank you, mister jitters.

The official soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste from the filthy war in vietnam. and were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country. wow. sounds like a ballad to me, oh man.
Bankok, thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign ietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea for a ride in thailand. sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communicatin. oh lord, the boat was towed into thai waters by a german freighter and the thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst the only took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision.
Hey, that's deep man.

The chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premiar deng xiaoping. and said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernisation and programs., oh this should get me in the village bar.
Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinionsof the masses are carefully thought out nor can we demand that they all be correct. adding this is nothing terrible. it' bad enough, but its not terrible.
From a prison, richard nixon, on his second trip outside the united states, sent his fesignation with a smiling hand shake politician again. greedy crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little french.
They sure as hell didn't try it on pam nixon., mr. nixon is in paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on french television. they thought of going on to deliver a speech in england, he'll participate in the french collegue program and said he will answer questions in welsh.

That's pretty big mr. m. ahhh, i'm so cynical, i could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunnions in a hundred years from now. they're gonna be sellin' my socks like judy garland. and i hope that they get a good price. i mean, with the inflation and the price of rice. man, i shouldn't worry, i own all my songs and i wrote them myself too.
I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2000.000 fans, a posted system that never fails to land me in jail. and look through my mail. perhaps have a garage sale. and you know, go save the whale, and a..you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell? stuck inside of a lexicon with the roger thesaurus blues again.
Sometimes i wish i was just george harrison, you know all the answers, oh my god, oh my god.

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...

In the middle of the night,
In the middle of the night i call your name.
Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko,
My love will turn you on.

In the middle of a bath,
In the middle of a bath i call your name.
Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko,
My love will turn you on.

My love will turn you on.

In the middle of a shave,
In the middle of a shave i call your name.
Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko,
My love will turn you on.

In the middle of a dream,
In the middle of a dream i call your name.
Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko,
My love will turn you on.

In the middle of a cloud,
In the middle of a cloud i call your name.
Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko,
My love will turn you on.

Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko,
Oh, yoko.

Okay?
Oh, yoko.

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me any more.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.

Oh, i didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was tryin' to catch your eyes,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide.
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that i made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,
Watch out,
I'm just a jealous guy,
Look out, babe,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I threw my woman power in a pot of stew
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single word did i hear from him,
So i tried the stew on my dog
But he wouldn't even eat it.

I put my light heart on a matching silver plate
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single footstep was heard near the door
So i ate the plate myself
And got a heartburn.

Heartburn, heartburn plate,
Heartburn, heartburn cake.

I toasted my pride and covered it with apple jam
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single sign of a stir or a breeze
So i soaked the bread in my milk
And i gave it to the birds.

Heartburn, heartburn plate,
Heartburn, heartburn cake.

I watched the clock ticking, ticking away to my past,
Eight years old, birthday and raindrops.
Not a single line from my dad or my mom
So i laid the cake on my cat
But she wouldn't even touch it.

Heartburn, heartburn stew,
Heartburn, heartburn blues.

What do i want with a heartburn, i ask you,
Don't try to give me the word.
'cause i ask a clever question
And i get a silly answer.

Living at the y, extension 33,
Nothing to care or to worry.
Once i was in love with a blind man,
But my auntie told me, "don't do it, it's not worth it."

Living at the y, 33 years,
No one to call or to write to.
Once i was in love with a married man,
But my instincts told me, "don't tell him, it'll kill you."

I'm sad i didn't marry the blind man,
But what's a life with three blind children?
I'm glad i never told the married man,
It saved my pride and freedom.

Living at the y, in 33 rooms,
Nowhere to visit or write to.
Once i was in love, it nearly killed me,
But now i have my pride and freedom.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom and pride.

Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom.

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All i know is we're here today.

I've got nightmares i could never share with you,
The kind that keeps me up all night.
So hold me tight till the room is light
And tell me that it's all right.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
We may go our separate ways some day,
But we know we shared our dreams today.

I've got nightmares i would never wish on you,
The kind that keeps me down all day.
So hold me tight till the sky is light
And tell me that it's all right.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye.

Yoko!!
(it's getting light)

Mummy, mummy.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)


Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
(never say) goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
(never say) goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
(never say) goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
(never say) goodbye,
Never say goodbye,

In this approximately infinite universe,
I know a girl who's in constant hell.
No love or pill could keep her cool,
'cause there's a thousand holes in her heart.

And the wind of the past blows through her heart,
Reminding her of the people she killed.
Wind of now blows off her cool,
Telling her there's something she's missed.

You know the town of sapporo, she says,
Where the men talk rough and never sing.
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream.

In this approximately infinite universe,
I know a girl who's raising constant hell.
No love or bottle could fix her good,
'cause there's a thousand holes in her head.

And the wind of the future blows through her head,
Saying there's no point of return.
The wind of the universe blows off her soul,
Telling her there's nowhere to go.

I wanna sleep, wanna sleep, she says,
And take her fix to bed.
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream.

Recorded live at the madison square garden, new york, n.y. 30 august 1972

This here is the story about a househusband who, you know,
Just want to get out of the house, has been looking at you,
You, know, the kids, days and days, he's been watching the
Kitchen and screwing around or whatever it has to be till
He's gone crazy!

Woke up this morning, blues around my head.
No need to ask the reason why.
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette,
Blew my worries to the sky.

I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, yeh!

If it don't feel right, you don't have to do it.
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it.
And after all is said and done,
You can't go pleasin' ev'ryone so screw it.

Uh-uh-uh,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, baby,
I'm stepping out.

Baby's sleeping, the cats have all been blessed,
Ain't nothing doing on tv. (some old repeat!)
Put on my spacesuit, i got to look my best,
I'm going out to do the city.

I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, babe,
I'm stepping out.

Boogie!

One more!

I'm stepping out, hold it down,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get out!

I'm stepping out, babe, just for a while.
Ain't been out for days! got to do it tonight!
Give me a break! give me a break! gotta get out!
Gotta get out!
Just for a while, just for the night.
I'll be in before one, or two, or three.
Goodbye.

Hey!

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 need. need, need her.

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

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

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

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

Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love.


Ah, god, i love.

Mother, you had me but i never had you.
I, i wanted you, you didn't want me.
So i, i just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.

Father, you left me but i never left you.
I needed you, you didn't need me.
So i, i just gotta tell you, mm,
Goodbye, goodbye.

Children, don't do what i have done.
I couldn't walk and i tried to run.
So i, i just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.

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.

My man is the best in the world,
He's got the sun in his heart and the moon in his soul.
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.

My man is the best in the world,
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.

Ah - ah - ah -

Babalu-babalu-babalu, i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, i love you, i love you.

My man is the best in the world,
He knows me like the palm of his hand.
When i'm good, he's so very good
And when i'm bad, he laughs and says, don't be sad.
I love you, i love you.

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
(i love you, i love you, i love you)

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
(i love you, i love you, i love you)

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
(i love you, i love you, i love you)

Babalu-babalu-babalu, (babalu) i love you, i love you.
(i love you, i love you, i love you)

-"alright, boys, this is it, over the hill!"

We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even want to know your name.
We don't care where you're from or where you're going,
All we know it that you came.
Your making all our decisions,
We have just one request of you,
That while you're thinking things over,
Here's something you just better do.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
Don't despair, paranoia's ev'rywhere.
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

We understand your paranoia,
But we don't wanna play your game.
You think you're cool and know what you're doing,
666 is your name.

So while you jerking off each other,
You better bear this in mind;
Your time is up, you better know it,
But maybe you don't read the signs.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it (do it) now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill,
And you still gotta swallow your pill,
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed.

Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it)
Do! (do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)

Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(do it, do it) do it, do it, do it.
Bring on the lucie!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it)

In the middle of the night,
I'm lying in your bed.
Thinking of you and me in the universe.

Stars are moving like the night we met,
The earth is turning like the time we said.
In my mind i'm searching for you, billion miles away.

Why do i miss you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the billion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in memories.

Why do i love you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the trillion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in universe.

Recorded live at the varsity stadium, toronto, 13 september 1969


-"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.

There was a girl who couldn't speak,
Who couldn't speak her mind.
Only thing she was good at
Was telling stories of faraway lands.

There was a guy who couldn't say,
Who couldn't say what he wanted.
Only thing he was good at
Was cracking jokes to make people laugh.

So many words he swallowed,
So many thoughts she kept to herself.
And when they met they made love
And talked about the world and the weather.

So many cities he walked,
So many countries she traveled.
And in their dreams they would listen
To the sound of the sea they heard together.

People say we got it made,
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation.

We're afraid to be alone,
Ev'rybody got to have a home.
Isolation.

Just a boy and a little girl,
Tryin' to change the whole wide world.
Isolation.

The world is just a little town,
Ev'rybody tryin' to put us down.
I-hi-hi,
I-hi-hi-hi-solation!

I don't expect you to understand,
After you've caused so much pain.
But then again, you're not to blame,
You're just a human, a victim of the insane.

We're afraid of ev'ryone,
Afraid of the sun.
Isolation.

The sun will never disappear,
But the world may not have many years.
I-hi-hi,
I-hi-hi-hi-solation!

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!

I bought a brand new airmobile,
It was a custom made, it was a flightning deal.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing,
Push in on the button, you will hear her sing.

Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know i'm goin' like cool breeze.

Hey! hey!
Well, you walk!
You walk!

New jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours,
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzle showers.
Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me,
Then come waving goodbye in a little, old souped up jitney.
I put my foot in the tank, i began to roll,
Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol.
I let out my wings, then i blew my horn,
Bye-bye, new jersey, i become airborn.

Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know i'm goin' like cool breeze.

Hey!
Well, you walk!
Yeah, walk!

Flying with my baby last saturday night,
Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight,
Big, full moon, shinin' up above,
Cuddle up, honey, be my love.

Sweetest little thing that i ever seen,
I'm gonna name you maybellene.
Flying on the beam, set on flight control,
Radio tuned to rock and roll.
Two, three hours passed us by,
Altitude dropped into five-o-five.
Fuel consumption, way too fast,
Let's get on home before we run out of gas.

Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know i'm goin' like cool breeze.

Git it on!
Yeah, walk!
Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it!
Git it on, git it on.
You know you can't catch me!
