1. _ Shouting In A Bucket Blues
Sometimes i get too drunk,
I feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
I think about your loving arms, where i'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and i know it
And if i'm sorry for myself, i'm sorry for you too
'cause i'm the same as you, and i'm burning
So i sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
I won't say that i love you, 'cause that would be a lie
I can only say i try, and you know it
Love is something more or less than words can hope to say
It's something day to day in the life we're living
Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
Yes i can count all mine on one finger
So i sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding
So i sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout

2. _ Strange Song
Well, i met a traveller
Never did learn his name;
His eyes were bright coloured.
But not both the same.
He shook my hand warmly
I could tell he was strong
And he answered my questions
By singing this song
One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere;
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care.
Well, it rained all that night
And in the morning, rain still
And i saw the traveller
At the top of the hill
He was laughing at the thunder
And banging a gong
And, at the top of his voice
He shouted his song.
One find it, etc.
When the storm had died down
He came to my door
And he looked really happy
As he dripped on the floor
He said, "please excuse me
But i won't stay long;
Just give me what you don't want
And then i'll move on, singing
One find it, etc.
Said he had to keep going
But he didn't say where
When i offered him money
He refused with a glare.
Then he roared out with laughter
As ht picked up his gong
And he left without looking back
Singing his song:
One find it, etc. (repeat)

3. _ Puis-je?
J'etais perdu dans la rue
Fatigue et mal au cul
J'ai vu un petit cafe
Avec une fille dedans
Et je lui disais
'puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
Pour te regarder?
J'aimerais la compagnie de ton soleil.
Je ne veux pas plus que ca
Non, ca n'est pas une grande histoire
Encore un beau sourire
Et apres ca je peux partir
'puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
Pour te regarder?
J'aimerais bien la compagnie de ton soleil.

6. _ Stars
What can i give you, girl
Something that you've never had
Something that'll make you glad...
In your heart.
What can i show you, girl
Something that you've never seen
Yeah, somewhere that you've never been...
Never been before.
What can i tell you
Something that you've never heard;
Can i find a special word
To say what i mean.
And, i'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are,
'cause i'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are.
What can i give you, girl,
I can give my share of time;
That's the only thing that's mine
To give.
What can i show you, girl,
I can show you all i see
And if you'll believe in me
I won't let you down.
What can i tell you,
I can tell you anything;
But i know i'd rather sing
Rather sing the song.
And, i'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are,
'cause i'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are.

7. _ City Waltz
Living in the city seems
To fill me with trepidation
Fills me with trepidation inside
Too much big business
And too little celebration
Too little celebration indeed
So let's raise our voices
And sing for our lives
Sing for our life
Let's raise our voices
Drink for our lives
Drink for your life my friends, my friends,
My friends, my friends
Too many reassuring lies
To lullaby the population
Lullaby the population to sleep
Too much big business
Too little celebration
Too little celebration indeed

8. _ May I?
I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat
I find a small cafe
I see a girl and then i say
'may i sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
You don't have to say a thing
You're the song without the sing
The sunlight in your hair
You look so good just sitting there
'may i sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'

9. _ The Lady Rachel
She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
She places the light on a chair by the window
Says a prayer while the wind blows
And then in her bed clothes she hides
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from its clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
Who will you dream of tonight?
She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
Then she unwraps the parcel
And discovers a castle inside
The draw bridge is open
And a voice from the water

10. _ After The Show
After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking out nowhere special to go.
I heard someone singing in a voice so sad,
This is what i heard her singing
Chorus
'who's going to take me home
After the show?
I'm feeling really lonely
And i've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party
And i'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes'.
I walked up to her, took her by the hand.
I said 'sad lady, yes, i understand
And i will stay with you if you want me to
And we can sing this song together'
Repeat chorus
After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking home somewhere special to go
Our love grows stronger as time goes by
But we can still remember singing
Repeat chorus twice

11. _ Caribbean Moon
A rum-lime honey sing a magical tune
Found her underneath the caribbean moon
Wind is blowin' in the coconut tree
Blowin' the moonlight over you and me
Hey caribbean moon yellow yellow
Caribbean moon yellow yellow
Caribbean moon yellow yellow
Caribbean moon shine all night
Calypso singer singin' in the sun
Sing about the rivers of babylon
Rasta music, caribbean sea
Come on everybody sing the tune with me
Hey caribbean moon yellow yellow
Caribbean moon yellow yellow
Caribbean moon yellow yellow
Caribbean moon shine all night
When i sing this song it makes me feel so glad
It was very musical, the love we had
Oh martha, martha let me sing to you
The song about the moon and the big bamboo

12. _ Once Upon An Ocean
Once upon an ocean
We dream a ship to sail
When it start leaking
We had to learn to bail
All that mattered it was
Keeping the ship afloat
But we couldn't work together
We become a drunken boat
Captain shouted out
Nobody hear him speak. oh no
Everyone went rushing round going crazy
Trying to find that leak
Waves getting heavier
We don't stand much chance
Then we heard that old familiar music
And we just had to dance
Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn
No, no, no, no
Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn
No, no, no, no, no

13. _ Money Money Money
Nothing comes easy
You've got to put your money down
Never let your honey down,
When she's on your side.
You want love, they want houses,
Better dig in your trousers
Put your money where your mouth is
Pull out that cash, from your stash.
And then, pay through the nose,
Buying buttons and bows
And never-ending clothes
Keep your love in style...
Ooh, money, money, ooh, money, money
Where does it go?
Down in some bottomless ditch.
Ooh, money, money, ooh money, money
Guess you all know--
Your money goes back to the rich, la ti da..
Your money goes back to the rich.
There ain't no way around it
You can't joke, you can't tease her
When she wants a new freezer,
It's a serious thing.
And she knows you'll pay double
To avoid any trouble;
She knows you can't stand to squabble;
And you're bound to give in..
So you pay, once again, through the nose
For a new quelque chose,
And you throw in a rose
To give your love a thrill.
Ooh, money, money, etc.
You get moonlight in the evening
Sunshine by day;
That's all you get for nothing
You want more?
Ooh, money, money, etc.

14. _ Blaming It All On Love
I guess i'm feeling old today
I can't get in the mood to play, oh no.
Feeling low.
And things have got to change, oh, yeah
'cause there's no point and there's no use
In that tired old excuse
Of blaming it all on love.
Can't rely on anyone,
To show me how to have my fun, but me
And now i see
Clearer than before - and more
That it's a fool who lives too small
Beats his head against the wall
Yeah, blaming it all on love.
Looking at the world outside
I sometimes have to run and hide away
When i should stay,
And join in with the dance, oh yeah.
'cause it's a crime and a disgrace
When i think of the time i waste
Blaming it all on love, sweet love
Blaming it all on love, sweet love
Blaming it all on love, love love.

15. _ Didn't Feel Lonely Till I Thought Of You
Woke up this morning
I went out on the street
Sniffed a few flowers then i went back to sleep
My head was cloudy but the sky was blue
And i didn't feel lonely till i thought of you
Later that evening i knocked on your door
Asked how you're feel ing
You said you weren't sure
Took off your costume and you lay on the bed
And i came down beside you with the moon in my head
I whispered nothing sweetly in your ear
I played the music that you like to hear
I held you tightly but you slipped right through
And i was left holding someone but i didn't know who
Maybe i'm crazy and i'm lost in a dream
Brothers and sisters you know what i mean
You leave things open and get lost in the space
And you have to keep running to keep out of this race

16. _ Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes
I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, "we don't serve strangers
In blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and
We don't give way--
We have to think about what the people might say..
Uh, you know what i mean..."
I said, "sure, man"
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,
And i offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .
He said, "my oh my, i have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong;
I don't make the rules
I just get what i take
And i guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
Cause i'm just working for the company."
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,
And said, "i think i'll pick my travelling bag.
I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the boss's bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and i've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much."
"you know, i feel like a new man
Yes i do, i don't know why;
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
It's a beautiful day
I think i'll be on my way (right away)
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here
Yes, i am - bye, bye.
That's the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Bye bye...
