1. _ San Andreas Fault
Go west
Paradise is there
You'll have all that you can eat
Of milk and honey over there
You'll be the brightest star
The world has ever seen
Sun-baked slender heroine
Of film and magazine
Go west
Paradise is there
You'll have all that you can eat
Of milk and honey over there
You'll be the brightest light
The world has ever seen
The dizzy height of a jet-set life
You could never dream
Your pale blue eyes
Strawberry hair
Lips so sweet
Skin so fair
Your future bright
Beyond compare
It's rags to riches
Over there
San andreas fault
Moved it's fingers
Through the ground
Earth divided
Plates collided
Such an awful sound
San andreas fault
Moved its fingers
Through the ground
Terra cotta shattered
And walls came
Tumbling down
O promised land
O wicked ground
Build a dream
Tear it down
O promised land
What a wicked ground
Build a dream
Watch it fall down

2. _ After The Gold Rush
Well, i dreamed i saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And i felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, i dreamed i saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

3. _ Wonder
Doctors have come
From distant cities
Just to see me
Stand over my bed
Disbelieving what they're seeing
They say i must be one of the wonders
Of god's own creation
And as far as the can see they can offer
No explanation
Newspapers ask
Intimate questions
What confessions
They reach into my head
To steal the glory
Of my story
They say i must be one of the wonders
Of god's own creation
And as far as the can see they can offer
No explanation
I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
Laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience
And with faith
She'll make her way"
People see me
I'm a challenge
To your balance
I'm over your heads
How i confound you
And astound you
To know i must be one of the wonders
Of god's own creation
And as far as you can see you can offer me
No explanation
I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
Laughed as she came to my mother
"know this child will not suffer"
Laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience
And with faith
She'll make her way"

4. _ Gun Shy
gun shy
I always knew that you would take yourself so far from home as soon as,
And as far as you could go. by the 1/4 inch cut of your hair by the army issue
Green, for the past eight weeks i can tell where you've been. for i knew, i
Could see, it was all cut and dried to me there was soldier's blue blood
Streaming inside your veins. there is a world outside of this room and when you
Meet it promise me that you won't meet it with your gun.
So now you are one, one of the brave few, and it's awful sad we need boys
Like you. i hope the day never comes for "here's your live round son. stock and
Barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun." well i knew, i could see, it was all
Cut and dried to me there was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me that you
Won't meet it with your gun taking aim. for i don't mean to argue, that they've
Made a decent boy of you and i don't mean to spoil your home coming, but baby
Brother you should expect me to.
"stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun." so now does your
Heart pitter pat with a patriotic song when you see the stripes of old glory
Waving? for i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me there was
Soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins. there is a world outside of
This room and when you meet it promise me that you won't meet it with your gun
Taking aim. i don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you and i don't
Mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother jude and i don't mean to hurt you
By saying this again, they're so good at making soldiers but they're not as
Good at making men.

5. _ The Gulf Of Araby
Words and music by katell keineg
If you could fill a veil with shells from killiney's shore
And sweet talk in a tongue that is no more
If wishful thought could bridge
The gulf of araby
Between what is
What is
What is
And what can never be
If you could hold the frozen flow of new hope creek
And hide out from the one they said you might meet
If you could unlearn all the words
That you never wanted heard
If you could stall the southern wind
That's whistling in your ears
You could take what is
What is
What is
What is
To what can never be
One man of seventy whispers free at last
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
Five burned with tyres
Six men still inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
The gulf, the gulf of araby
The gulf, the gulf of araby
Well, we would plough and part the earth to bring you home
And harvest every miracle ever known
If they laid out all the things
That these ten years want to bring
We would gladly give them up
To bring you back to us
O, there is nothing we would not give
To kiss you and believe you can take what is
What is
What is
To what can never be
One man of seventy whispers not free yet
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
Three tyrants torn away in the summer's heat
Four prisoners lost in the fallacy
Five, on my life
And six, i'm dead inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
The gulf, the gulf of araby
The gulf, the gulf of araby

6. _ Seven Years
How did i love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean
So warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer
How you lied
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around your feet
For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
You were
All i could see
I've got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don't you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But never forgive
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around your feet
For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
For seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of
Anything and everything i had
You were
All i could see

7. _ Space Oddity
space oddity
Ground control to major tom
Ground control to major tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to major tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may god's love be with you
(spoken)
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, liftoff
This is ground control to major tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"this is major tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And i'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am i sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing i can do
Though i'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still and i think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife i love her very much she knows"
Ground control to major tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you....
"here am i floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing i can do."

8. _ Ophelia
Ophelia was a bride of god
A novice carmelite
In sister cells
The cloister bells tolled on her wedding night
Ophelia was the rebel girl
A blue stockting suffragette
Who remedied society between her cigarettes
And ophelia was the sweetheart
To a nation overnight
Curvaceous thighs
Vivacious eyes
Love was at first sight...
Love was at first sight...
Love...
Ophelia was a demigoddess in pre-war babylon
So statuesque a silhouette in black satin evening gowns
Ophelia was the mistress to
A vegas gambling man
Signora ophelia maraschina
Mafia courtesan
Ophelia was the circus queen
The female cannonball
Projected through five flaming hoops
To wild and shocked applause
To wild and shocked applause
Ophelia was a tempest cyclone
A goddamn hurricane
Your common sense, your best defense
They wasted , and in vain
For ophelia 'd know your every woe
And every pain you'd ever had
She'd sympathize and dry your eyes
Help you to forget...
And help you to forget
And help you to forget
Ophelia's mind went wandering
You'd wonder where she goes
Through secret doors down corridors
She wanders there alone
All alone
(voice in german)
"es kostet mich keine kleine krise die verunreinigung und das
Suechtige aus meinem leben auszuschliessen"
("but it is for me no little effort to exclude the polluting and the addictive
From my life." )
(voice in spanish)
"compondo musica , en un estado de ecstases"
("composing music , in a state of ecstasy")
(voice in spanish)
"fuerza de vida , de vida"
( "strength of life , of life")
(voice in german)
"mein vater ist ein architekt"
("my father is an architect." )

9. _ Dust Bowl
dust bowl
I should know to leave them home. they follow me through the store with
These toys i can't afford. "kids, take them back, you know better than that."
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes, they don't understand and
How can i explain? i try and try but i can't save. pennies, nickels, dollars
Slip away. i've tried and tried but i can't save.
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure. all night with alcohol trying to
Cool and to rub her down. ruby, i'm tired, try and get some sleep. i'm adding
Doctor's fees to remedies to the cost of three day's work lost. i try and try
But i can't save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. i've tried and tried but
I can't save. the hole in my pocketbook is growing.
There's a new wind blowing they say, it's gonna be a cold, cold one. so
Brace yourselves my darlings, it won't bring anything much our way but more
Dust bowl days.
I played a card in this weeks game. took the first and the last letters
In three of their names. this lottery's been building up for weeks. i could be
Lucky me with the five million prize, tears of disbelief spilling out of my
Eyes. i try and try but i can't save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. i've
Tried and tried but i can't save. the hole in my pocketbook is growing.
There's a new wind blowing they say, it's gonna be a cold, cold one. so
Brace yourselves my darlings, it won't bring anything much our way but more
Dust bowl days.

10. _ Carnival
I've walked these streets
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
Make up on their faces
Actors took their
Places next to me
I've walked these streets
In a carnival
Of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers
The vendors and the dealers
They crowded around me
Have i been blind
Have i been lost
Inside my self and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamond markets
The scarlet welcome carpet
That they just rolled out for me
I've walked these streets
In the mad house asylum
They can be
Where a wild eyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped
And he raved of saving me
Have i been blind
Have i been lost
Inside my self and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
Have i been wrong
Have i been wise
To shut my eyes
And play along
Hypnotized
Paralyzed
By what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they have seen?
Have i been blind
Have i been lost
Inside my self and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
In that carnival?

11. _ Beloved Wife
You were the love
For certain of my life
You were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
How i'll live my life
Now alone without my beloved wife
My beloved wife
I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me
You were the love
For certain of my life
You were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
How i'll live my life
Now alone without my beloved wife
My beloved wife
I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me
You were the love
For certain of my life
For 50 years simply my beloved wife
With another love i'll never lye again
It's you i can't deny
It's you i can't defy
A depth so deep
Into my grief
Without my beloved soul
I renounce my life
As my right
Now alone without my beloved wife
My beloved wife
My beloved wife
My love is gone she suffered long
In hours of pain
My love is gone
Now my suffering begins
My love is gone
Would it be wrong if i should
Surrender all the joy in my life
Go with her tonight?
My love is gone she suffered long
In hours of pain
My love is gone
Would it be wrong if i should
Just turn my face away from the light
Go with her tonight?
