one song

[Dude]

Mull of kintyre

Oh mist rolling in from the sea,

My desire is always to be here

Oh mull of kintyre

 

Far have I traveled and much have I seen

Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.

Past painted deserts the sunset

[embiggen]

Shoot me down in flames if I should tell a lie

Cross my heart I promise that it's true

I've been in love so many times before

but never with a girl like you

 

With a girl like you

to hold and be beside

With a girl like you

to fill my heart with pride and joy

 

With a girl like you

I know where I belong

With a girl like you

I know I can be strong, you know

I won't bring you any pain

I won't run around again

Ther'll be nothing to explain

with a girl like you

 

You know

I won't bring you any pain

I won't run around again

Ther'll be nothing to explain

with a girl like you

[GPARSUNDA]

Sung by jim

 

Listen to the girl

As she takes on half the world

Moving up and so alive

In her honey dripping beehive

Beehive

It

[M. (hristine]

By the clear and the winding stream

In the valley of Strathmore

Where my love and I have been

Where we'll wander never more

 

But if time was a thing man could buy

All the money that I have in store

I would give for one day by her side

In the valley of Strathmore

 

From the glen of the golden and the green

I left for a land far away

Where sadness has never been seen

Aye, and joy only costs a day's pay

 

In Strathmore there's a long working day

For a man with his hands on the plow

But it's work I'd be happy to do

If at night I were lying with you

 

As I take a long draft from my glass

Oh, I'm drinking alone here again

And I try not to think of my lass

For the old days will ne'er come again

[Elixir Sue]

I got nothing

You got something

I feel out of place

Looking through your window

Into the delicate place

Reflections stating obvious mating holds

 

I'll own up to you if you own up to me

I'll picture for you if you picture for me

 

Have you got the answer

Have I yet won the part

Is this just your way of breaking my heart

Everyone denies it but they just want to be told

 

I'll hold it for you if you hold it for me

I'll picture for you if you picture for me

The delicate place

The questions it raise

The delicate place

 

I got nothing

You got something

I feel out of place

Looking through that window

Into the delicate place

 

I'll own up to you if you own up to me

I'll picture for you if you picture for me

The delicate place

The questions it raise

The delicate place yeah

The delicate place yeah

The delicate place yeah

[Dude]

It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl

But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son

It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl

But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son

And right now you could care less about me

But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done

 

Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar

And take our sweet little time about it

Let's have a ball girl

And take our sweet little time about it

Tell everyone in the place just to get out

We'll get clean together

And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it

 

You read it in the newspaper

Ask your girlfriends and see if they know

You read it in the newspaper

Ask your girlfriends and see if they know

That my strength is ten fold girl

And I'll let you see if you want to before you go

 

Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar

And take our sweet little time about it

Let's have a ball

And take our sweet little time about it

Tell everyone in the place just to get out

We'll get clean together

And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it

and ive one or two things to say about it

 

alright listen

 

It's quite possible that I'm your third man

But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son

It was the other two which made me your third

But it was my mother who made me the seventh son

And right now you could care less about me

But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done

[Elixir Sue]

[embiggen]

Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck,

A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest,

I went to the good doctor and the good doctor said,

You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead,

Cut out the struggle and strife,

It only complicates your life.

 

Well I cut down women I cut out booze,

I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes,

I stopped going to work, reading the news,

I'm sitting twiddling my thumbs cos I got nothing to do,

Minimal exercise,

To help uncomplicate my life,

Gotta stand and face it life is so complicated,

Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah,

Got to get away from the complicated life son,

Life is overated, life is complicated,

Must aleviate this, complicated life.

 

Like old Mother Hubbard

I got nothin' in the cupboard,

Got no dinner and I got no supper,

Holes in my shoes I got holes in my socks,

I can't go to work cos I can't get a job,

The bills are rising sky high,

It's such a complicated life,

Gotta stand and face it,

Life is so complicated.

[lizish]

I have your good clothes in the car

So cut your hat so no one knows

I have your dreams and you teethmarks

All my fingernails are painted

[GPARSUNDA]

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 my skin again,

the world is large, and I've 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 your 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...

[Dude]

baby, i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,

and maybe i'm afraid of the way i love you.

 

maybe i'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,

you hung me on the line.

maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

 

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man

who's in the middle of something

that he doesn't really understand.

 

baby, i'm a man,

and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.

baby, won't you help me to understand?

 

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man

who's in the middle of something

that he doesn't really understand.

 

baby, i'm a man,

and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.

baby, won't you help me to understand?

 

maybe i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,

maybe i'm afraid of the way leave you.

 

maybe i'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,

right me when i'm wrong

maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

[M. (hristine]

We got the news

Ithaca got snow

It was just that kind of day

All I know is that you've gone and left us here below

All I wish is that you'd stay

 

We leave this cursed city in the same way we come in

We trace the roads

On the way out, we shed our certainties like clothes

 

We thought this was our sacrifice

But the world knew otherwise

And took you from us

Before your time, right before our eyes

 

We think we're walking home

But you can't go there unless it wants you

You can stand on the streets

But still the destination haunts you

Is that where you are now?

To have believed that's truest love

Ain't it clever now that we have love and we don't have you

 

It took this much to make me see

Still I barely understand

Love will always, always be larger and different than our plans

 

Love will never listen to us

And why should it?

Love knows the score

It builds better songs than we do

It sings a better metaphor

the tongue one was better

Pretty much always.

[timbits]

At my door the leaves are falling

A cold wild wind has come

Sweethearts walk by together

And I still miss someone

 

I go out on a party

And look for a little fun

But I find a darkened corner

because I still miss someone

 

Oh, no I never got over those blue eyes

I see them every where

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

 

I wonder if she's sorry

For leavin' what we'd begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone

[Guest gsteinb]

you're too sweet to let go of

but i don't need to fall in love

now i'm too tired to talk my way out of this one

it's a losing game i've had enough

 

it's too late to make things right

and there ain't no strength left in this heart of mine

now we make quite a pair

but we never got our share of good times

it sure felt nice

 

little silver heart

that you once adored

and you don't wear my heart

around your neck no more

 

you're too good for this game of mine

and girl i know i never treat you right

just a little silver heart

send my lucky star

on a little silver chain

valentine

 

all the tears were cried for you

don't mean a thing

all the tears were cried for me

just won't change me

[Analogman]

Clean as a whistle

Smellin

[Elixir Sue]

This is the first day of my life

I swear I was born right in the doorway

I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed

They're spreading blankets on the beach

 

Yours is the first face that I saw

I think I was blind before I met you

Now I don

[embiggen]

Wake me when the day breaks

Show me how the sun shines

Tell me about your heartaches

Who could be so unkind?

Do you dream to touch me?

And smile down deep inside

Or could you just kill me?

Forever known as the "ex-wife song" to me.

[WildMercurySound]

So this is the new year

And i don't feel any different

The clanking of crystal

Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

 

So this is the new year

And I have no resolutions

For self assigned penance

For problems with easy solutions

 

So everybody put your best suit or dress on

Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once

Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn

As thirty dialogues bleed into one

 

I wish the world was flat like the old days

Then i could travel just by folding a map

No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways

There'd be no distance that can hold us back.

 

There'd be no distance that could hold us back

 

So this is the new year

[Analogman]

Well, once I was a stone, many years ago

Into a pool was thrown, many years ago

Time went by and the pool ran dry

Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat

By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith

 

Well once I was a sword, many years ago

And my blade was broad, many years ago

Wore it with pride, and into battle I'd ride, on a warrior side

And cut my tail, their was loss of my tail

and soon did rust ,corrode to dust, oh my

 

Well once I was a daisy, many years ago

In pastures green and lazy, many years ago

But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat

And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead

And was relieved to find just how kind it all was

 

Well once I was a grub, many years ago

And I lived among that mud , many years ago

But I'm a reckless mood, and I gave it a Coo

That was it with a prune, and when the good Lord was done

I walked with the sun, I shed my skins

And tried my wings and flew away

 

Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival

And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow

And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible

I said pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke

 

Well once I was a mule, many years ago

and my master treat me cruel, many years ago

By by was sick, so I moved to a kick,

So I took out a stick , laid it back across my back

To an almighty crack to my dismay

I cast away into the blue

 

Then I was born a human baby, many years ago

I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago

All our hopes were piled on the back of a child

Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer

Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave

To lie and thieve, on my way to jail

 

Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor

Known good times and disaster

But now I have a teacher and my teacher has a master

And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster

Don't need no proof, 'cause that's the truth, and I'll drink to that!

[embiggen]

This is the day

Of the expanding man

That shape is my shade

There where I used to stand

It seems like only yesterday

I gazed through the glass

At ramblers

Wild gamblers

That's all in the past

 

You call me a fool

You say it's a crazy scheme

This one's for real

I already bought the dream

So useless to ask me why

Throw a kiss and say goodbye

I'll make it this time

I'm ready to cross that fine line

 

I'll learn to work the saxophone

I'll play just what I feel

Drink Scotch whisky all night long

And die behind the wheel

They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues

 

My back to the wall

A victim of laughing chance

This is for me

The essence of true romance

Sharing the things we know and love

With those of my kind

Libations

Sensations

That stagger the mind

 

I crawl like a viper

Through these suburban streets

Make love to these women

Languid and bittersweet

I'll rise when the sun goes down

Cover every game in town

A world of my own

I'll make it my home sweet home

 

I'll learn to work the saxophone

I'll play just what I feel

Drink Scotch whisky all night long

And die behind the wheel

They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues

 

This is the night

Of the expanding the man

I take one last drag

As I approach the stand

I cried when I wrote this song

Sue me if I play too long

This brother is free

I'll be what I want to be
