 Ten New Songs » ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ [+ ಸೇರಿಸು +] |
1. _ By The Rivers Dark
By the rivers dark
I wandered on.
I lived my life
In babylon.
And i did forget
My holy song:
And i had no strength
In babylon.
By the rivers dark
Where i could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me.
And he cut my lip
And he cut my heart.
So i could not drink
From the river dark.
And he covered me,
And i saw within,
My lawless heart
And my wedding ring,
I did not know
And i could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.
By the rivers dark
I panicked on.
I belonged at last
To babylon.
Then he struck my heart
With a deadly force,
And he said, |
2. _ Love Itself
The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of love.
In streams of light i clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the nameless makes
A name for one like me.
I'll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door |
3. _ Boogie Street
O crown of light, o darkened one,
I never thought we'd meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it's done:
I'm back on boogie street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it's time to go.
I tidied up the kitchenette;
I tuned the old banjo.
I'm wanted at the traffic-jam.
They're saving me a seat.
I'm what i am, and what i am,
Is back on boogie street.
And o my love, i still recall
The pleasures that we knew;
The rivers and the waterfall,
Wherein i bathed with you.
Bewildered by your beauty there,
I'd kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare
A man for boogie street.
O crown of light, o darkened one |
4. _ Here It Is
Here is your crown
And your seal and rings;
And here is your love
For all things.
Here is your cart,
And your cardboard and piss;
And here is your love
For all of this.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, goodbye.
Here is your wine,
And your drunken fall;
And here is your love.
Your love for it all.
Here is your sickness.
Your bed and your pan;
And here is your love
For the woman, the man.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And, my love, goodbye.
And here is the night,
The night has begun;
And here is your death
In the heart of your son.
And here is the dawn,
(until death do us part);
And here is your death,
In your daughter's heart.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And, my love, goodbye.
And here you are hurried,
And here you are gone;
And here is the love,
That it's all built upon.
Here is your cross,
Your nails and your hill;
And here is your love,
That lists where it will
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, goodbye.

5. _ That Don't Make It Junk
I fought against the bottle,
But i had to do it drunk |
6. _ A Thousand Kisses Deep
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it's done |
7. _ In My Secret Life
I saw you this morning You were moving so fast Can't seem to loosen my grip On the past And I miss you so much There's no one inside And we're still making love In my secret life. I smile when I'm angry I cheat and I lie I'll do what I have to do To get back But I know what is wrong And I know what is right And I die for the truth In my secret life. Hold on, hold on my brother My sister hold on tight I finally got my orders I'll be marching through the morning Marching through the night Moving 'cross the borders Of my secret life. Look through the papers Makes you want to cry Nobody cares if the people Live or die And the dither (?) wants you thinking That's it's either black or white Thank God it's not that simple In my secret life. I bite my lip I buy what I'm told From the latest hit To the wisdom of old But I'm always alone And my heart is like ice And it's crowded and cold In my secret life. more free lyrics |
8. _ The Land Of Plenty
Don't really know who sent me
To raise my voice and say:
May the lights in the land of plenty
Shine on the truth some day.
I don't know why i come here,
Knowing as i do,
What you really think of me,
What i really think of you.
For the millions in a prison,
That wealth has set apart |
9. _ Alexandra Leaving
Suddenly the night has grown colder.
The god of love preparing to depart.
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
They slip between the sentries of the heart.
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They fall among the voices and the wine.
It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust |
10. _ You Have Loved Enough
I said i'd be your lover.
You laughed at what i said.
I lost my job forever.
I was counted with the dead.
I swept the marble chambers,
But you sent me down below.
You kept me from believing
Until you let me know:
That i am not the one who loves |
