one song

[embiggen]

Feel a bit roughed up, feel a bit frightened

Nearly pin it down some time

Red sail action wake up in the wrong town

Boy, I really get around

 

Thunder ocean

Thunder ocean

Red sails take me, make me sail along

 

Red sails, and a mast so tall

Red sail

Red sail

 

Do you remember we another person

Green and black and red and so scared

Graffiti on the wall kept us all in tune

Bringing us all back home

 

Red sails

Thunder ocean

Red sails

Sailor can't dance like you, ooh, yooou

 

Ahh, red sail

Red sail action

Red sail

Some reaction

 

Action boy seen living under neon

Struggling the foreign tongue

Red sails make him strong

Action make him sail along

Life stands still and stares

 

The hinterland, the hinterland

We're gonna sail to the hinterland

It's far far, far far far, far far far away

Its a far far, far far fa, da da da, da da da

[MrRain422]

He's got fasting black lungs

Made of clove splintered shards

They're the kind that will talk

Through a weezing of coughs

 

And I hear him

Every night

In every pore

And every time he just makes me warm

 

Freeze without an answer

Free from all the shame

Must I hide

'Cause I'll never, never sleep alone

 

Look at how they flock to him

From an isle of open sores

He knows that the taste is such

Such to die for

 

And I hear him

Every night

On every street

The scales that do slither

Deliver me from

 

Freeze without an answer

Free from all the shame

Then I'll hide

'Cause I'll never, never sleep alone

 

Said I'm, said I'm, said I'm

Said I'm bloodshot for sure

Pale runs the ghost

Swollen on the shore

Swollen on the shore

 

Every night

In every pore

The scales that do slither

Deliver me from

 

Freeze without an answer

Free from all the shame

Then I'll hide

'Cause I'll never, never sleep alone

 

Freeze without an answer

Free from all the shame

Let me die

'Cause I'll never, never sleep alone

[GPARSUNDA]

Don't need people, what good are people?

People just get in the way.

Just take everything I said for the past three years,

Put it in a box, throw the key away.

 

Don't need reasons, cause there's no reason,

For you to be here with me.

Let's take everything we own, and throw it in the lock,

We'll start again today.

 

You just keep carrying on, carrying on.

And don't be long.

 

Soon can't be soon enough,

You can't be you enough,

Soon can't be soon enough for me.

 

Don't need notebooks, what good are notebooks?

They won't help me survive.

I'll be your milky bar kid, Your sweet honey lips,

As long as you've got eyes.

 

You just keep carrying on, carrying on.

And don't be long.

 

Soon can't be soon enough,

You can't be you enough,

Soon can't be soon enough for me.

 

We don't need this junk to survive,

We don't need this junk in our lives

[Dude]

She used to work in a diner

Never saw a woman look finer

I used to order just to watch

her float across the floor

She grew up in a small town

Never put her roots down

Daddy always kept movin',

so she did too.

 

Somewhere on a desert highway

She rides a Harley-Davidson

Her long blonde hair

flyin' in the wind

She's been runnin' half her life

The chrome and steel she rides

Collidin' with

the very air she breathes

The air she breathes.

 

You know it ain't easy

You got to hold on

She was an unknown legend

in her time

Now she's dressin' two kids

Lookin' for a magic kiss

She gets the far-away look

in her eyes.

 

Somewhere on a desert highway

She rides a Harley-Davidson

Her long blonde hair

flyin' in the wind

She's been runnin' half her life

The chrome and steel she rides

Collidin' with the very

air she breathes

The air she breathes.

[Elixir Sue]

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in

And stops my mind from wandering

Where it will go

 

I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door

And kept my mind from wandering

Where it will go

 

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong

I'm right

Where I belong I'm right

Where I belong

 

See the people standing there who disagree and never win

And wonder why they don't get in my door

 

I'm painting my room in a colourful way

And when my mind is wandering

There I will go

 

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong

I'm right

Where I belong I'm right

Where I belong

 

Silly people run around, they worry me

And never ask me why they don't get past my door

 

I'm taking the time for a number of things

That weren't important yesterday

And I still go

 

Fixing a hole where the rain gets in

Stops my mind from wandering

Where it will go

[lizish]

On the outskirts of expansion, looking out from Blueprint peak

The flow is flooding of urban setters panning through rivers running dry.

Numbers roll on in, smiling a lottery grin, a sadness blurs the eye...

It's just a matter of time before they're moving on

It's just a matter of time before they're moving on

Doesn't take much time for plans to go wrong

and chase another ghost of a chance.

In the shadows of chain-store ghost towns

where no one walks the streets at night,

a silent nation hooked on medication,

stares into a blue flickering light.

the young drift off alone

and the old are whisked away

and prospects keep looking up,

but the line's getting longer on the lost highway,

the line's getting longer on the superstition highway

Doesn't take much time for plans to go astray

and chase another ghost of a chance

They say deep down inside, lie properties of a healing

kind,

 

If so it'd better come around soon

and do a little bit of service and repair

do a little bit of service and repair

do a little more service and repair

Doesn't take much time for plans to change

and offer up another chance

for a little bit more service and repair

do a little bit of service and repair

Doesn't take much time for plans to change

and offer up another chance

at sewing the dream better suited for both soul and

soil.

[GPARSUNDA]

I can never calm you down

And I can never turn you around

And I could never bring you flowers

And I could never turn you around

 

I could be there when you're sleeping

I could be inside your dreams

And I can be there when you're sleeping

And I can be inside your dreams

Oh yeah I, oh yeah

 

Stand at the kitchen sink

Feeling a plastic mood

Buildings have gotta change

Cause baby you're a lunatic

 

I could be there when you're sleeping

I could be there in your dreams

And I could be there when you're sleeping

And I could be inside your dreams

Oh yeah I, oh yeah

 

Stand at the kitchen sink

Feeling a plastic mood

Buildings have gotta change

Cause baby you're a lunatic

 

I could be there when you're sleeping

I could be there in your dreams

And I could be there when you're sleeping

And I could be inside your dreams

Oh yeah I, oh yeah

[viatroy]

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I keep my eyes wide open all the time

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

Because you're mine, I walk the line

 

I find it very, very easy to be true

I find myself alone when each day is through

Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you

Because you're mine, I walk the line

 

As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep you on my mind both day and night

And happiness I've known proves that it's right

Because you're mine, I walk the line

 

You've got a way to keep me on your side

You give me cause for love that I can't hide

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

Because you're mine, I walk the line

 

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I keep my eyes wide open all the time

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Dude]

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

And I hope you're thinking of me

As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

But I know I'm on a losing streak

'Cause I passed down my old street

And if you wanna show, then just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh

If heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said,

You leave my life, I'm better off dead

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh

If heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said,

You leave my life, I'm better off dead

 

But if you wanna show, just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

 

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I'm never coming down, I'm never going down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

[Fritz]

There once was a man who just couldn't cry

He hadn't cried for years and for years

Napalmed babies and the movie love story

For instance could not produce tears

As a child he had cried as all children will

Then at some point his tear ducts ran dry

He grew to be a man, the feces hit the fan

Things got bad, but he couldn't cry

 

His dog was run over, his wife up and left him

And after that he got sacked from his job

Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore

Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob

 

His novel was refused, his movie was panned

And his big Broadway show was a flop

 

He got sent off to jail; you guessed it, no bail

Oh, but still not a dribble or drop

 

In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered

And made to make license plates

Water and bread was all he was fed

But not once did a tear stain his face

 

Doctors were called in, scientists, too

Theologians were last and practically least

 

They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff

But in fact an insensitive beast

 

He was removed from jail and placed in a place

For the insensitive and the insane

He played lots of chess and made lots of friends

And he wept every time it would rain

 

Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights

And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried

 

On the forty-first day, he passed away

He just dehydrated and died

 

Well, he went up to heaven, located his dog

Not only that, but he rejoined his arm

Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back

Cancer robbed the whore of her charm

 

His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke

The theologians were finally found out

 

Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down

The earth suffered perpetual drought

[Oil Can Boyd]

I

I will be king

And you

You will be queen

Though nothing will

Drive them away

We can beat them

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

 

And you

You can be mean

And I

I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers

And that is a fact

Yes we're lovers

And that is that

 

Though nothing

Will keep us together

We could steal time

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

For ever and ever

What d'you say

 

I

I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins

Like dolphins can swim

Though nothing

Will keep us together

We can beat them

For ever and ever

Oh we can be Heroes

Just for one day

 

I

I will be king

And you

You will be queen

Though nothing

Will drive them away

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be us

Just for one day

 

I

I can remember

Standing

By the wall

And the guns

Shot above our heads

And we kissed

As though nothing could fall

And the shame

Was on the other side

Oh we can beat them

For ever and ever

Then we can be Heroes

Just for one day

 

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

We're nothing

And nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying

Then you better not stay

But we could be safer

Just for one day

[M. (hristine]

Walk along the river,

sweet lullaby.

It just keeps on flowing,

it don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.

 

Don't fly mister blue bird

I'm just walking down the road,

early morning sunshine tells me all I need to know.

 

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.

Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,

turn your love my way, yeah.

 

Good old Sunday morning

bells are ringing everywhere.

Goin' to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there.

[Dude]

I know she

[M. (hristine]

Now that I

[Elixir Sue]

Oh the night... here it comes again

It's on with the jeans, the jacket and shirt

How'd I end up feeing so bad

For such a little girl

 

And I hold you close in the back of my mind

Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt

And I'm too scared to know how I feel about you now

Las cienega just smiled... "see ya around"

 

And I hold you close in the back of my mind

And raise my glass 'cause either way I'm dead

Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore

One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul

La cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye

 

Oh the night... here it comes again

It's off with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt

How'd I end up feeling so bad

For such a little girl

 

And I hold you close in the back of my mind

Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt

And I'm too scared to know how I feel about you now

How I feel about you now

La cienega just smiles and says, "I'll see you around"

[Albert Tatlock]

I never thought it would happen

With me and the girl from Clapham

Out on a windy common

That night I ain't forgotten

When she dealt out the rations

With some or other passions

I said you are a lady

Perhaps she said I may be

We moved into a basement

With thoughts of our engagement

We stayed in by the telly

Although the room was smelly

We spent our time just kissing

The Railway Arms we're missing

But love had got us hooked up

And all our time it took up

 

I got a job with Stanley

He said I'd come in handy

And started me on Monday

So I had a bath on Sunday

I worked eleven hours

And bought the girl some flowers

She said she'd seen a doctor

And nothing now could stop her

 

I worked all through the winter

The weather brass and bitter

I put away a tenner

Each week to make her better

And when the time was ready

We had to sell the telly

Late evenings by the fire

With little kicks inside her

 

This morning at 4:50

I took her rather nifty

Down to an incubator

Where thirty minutes later

She gave birth to a daughter

Within a year a walker

She looked just like her mother

If there could be another

 

And now she's two years older

Her mother's with a soldier

She left me when my drinking

Became a proper stinging

The devil came and took me

From bar to street to bookie

No more nights by the telly

No more nights nappies smelling

 

Alone here in the kitchen

I feel there's something missing

I'd beg for some forgiveness

But begging's not my business

And she won't write a letter

Although I always tell her

And so it's my assumption

I'm really up the junction

[viatroy]

Never chew a pickle

With a little slap and tickle

You have to throw the stone

To get the pool to ripple

[GPARSUNDA]

it's the bad way you feel today brush the dog as you

walk away oh ther it is baby, you know that they feel

the same

 

but they wave as you turn away got your mind but you

cannot stay sooooobaby you say what...high

way that you will be sorry, sorry is a man as he will be

sorry sorry (stop) baby (stop) da da (stop) da da (stop)

da da da da

[Elixir Sue]

When you wake up

Feelin' old

At this piano filled with souls

Some strange purse

Stuffed nervous with gold

Can you be where you want to be?

 

Walk down any street

You can find

Look at any clock telling time

Sing some strange verse

From some strange song of vines

And you'll be where you want to be

 

I know I can't sing

Until she brings the song to life

And I blend with kings

I'd never change a thing

 

Who knows anything

I don't know

There are so many things

I must leave alone

Some strange person is calling you their home

Can you be where you want to be?

 

Can you be

Where you want to be?

Can you be

Where you want to be?

Can you be

Where you want to be?

 

[viatroy]

They're selling postcards of the hanging

They're painting the passports brown

The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

The circus is in town

Here comes the blind commissioner

They've got him in a trance

One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker

The other is in his pants

And the riot squad they're restless

They need somewhere to go

As Lady and I look out tonight

From Desolation Row

 

Cinderella, she seems so easy

"It takes one to know one," she smiles

And puts her hands in her back pockets

Bette Davis style

And in comes Romeo, he's moaning

"You Belong to Me I Believe"

And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend

You better leave"

And the only sound that's left

After the ambulances go

Is Cinderella sweeping up

On Desolation Row

 

Now the moon is almost hidden

The stars are beginning to hide

The fortunetelling lady

Has even taken all her things inside

All except for Cain and Abel

And the hunchback of Notre Dame

Everybody is making love

Or else expecting rain

And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing

He's getting ready for the show

He's going to the carnival tonight

On Desolation Row

 

Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window

For her I feel so afraid

On her twenty-second birthday

She already is an old maid

 

To her, death is quite romantic

She wears an iron vest

Her profession's her religion

Her sin is her lifelessness

And though her eyes are fixed upon

Noah's great rainbow

She spends her time peeking

Into Desolation Row

 

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood

With his memories in a trunk

Passed this way an hour ago

With his friend, a jealous monk

He looked so immaculately frightful

As he bummed a cigarette

Then he went off sniffing drainpipes

And reciting the alphabet

Now you would not think to look at him

But he was famous long ago

For playing the electric violin

On Desolation Row

 

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world

Inside of a leather cup

But all his sexless patients

They're trying to blow it up

Now his nurse, some local loser

She's in charge of the cyanide hole

And she also keeps the cards that read

"Have Mercy on His Soul"

They all play on penny whistles

You can hear them blow

If you lean your head out far enough

From Desolation Row

 

Across the street they've nailed the curtains

They're getting ready for the feast

The Phantom of the Opera

A perfect image of a priest

They're spoonfeeding Casanova

To get him to feel more assured

Then they'll kill him with self-confidence

After poisoning him with words

 

And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls

"Get Outa Here If You Don't Know

Casanova is just being punished for going

To Desolation Row"

 

Now at midnight all the agents

And the superhuman crew

Come out and round up everyone

That knows more than they do

Then they bring them to the factory

Where the heart-attack machine

Is strapped across their shoulders

And then the kerosene

Is brought down from the castles

By insurance men who go

Check to see that nobody is escaping

To Desolation Row

 

Praise be to Nero's Neptune

The Titanic sails at dawn

And everybody's shouting

"Which Side Are You On?"

And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot

Fighting in the captain's tower

While calypso singers laugh at them

And fishermen hold flowers

Between the windows of the sea

Where lovely mermaids flow

And nobody has to think too much

About Desolation Row

 

Yes, I received your letter yesterday

(About the time the door knob broke)

When you asked how I was doing

Was that some kind of joke?

All these people that you mention

Yes, I know them, they're quite lame

I had to rearrange their faces

And give them all another name

Right now I can't read too good

Don't send me no more letters no

Not unless you mail them

From Desolation Row

 

 

 

 

 

Bob leaves me speechless sometimes.

[MrRain422]

There are men lost in jail

Crowded fifty to a room

There's too many rats in this cage of the world

And the women know their place

They sit home and write letters

Then they visit once a year

When they both just sit there and stare

 

See how we are

Gotta keep bars in between us

See how we are

We only sing about it once in every twenty years

See how we are

Oh, see how we are

 

Now there are seven kinds of Coke

500 kinds of cigarettes

This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy

Down in Acapulco

Well, they don't give a damn

About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet

 

See how we are

Hey man, what's in it for me?

See how we are

We only sing about it once in every twenty years

See how we are

Oh, see how we are

 

Well, this morning the alarm rang at noon

And I'm trying to write this letter to you

About how much I care and why I just can't be there

To draw your bath and comb

And comb your hair

 

Last night in a nightspot

Where things ain't so hot

My friend said, "I met a boy and I'm in love"

I said, "Oh really? What's this one's name?"

She said, "His first name is Homeboy"

I said "Could his last name be Trouble?"

 

See how we are

Hey girl, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you

See how we are

We only sing about it once in every twenty years

See how we are

Oh see how we are

Yeah, see how we are

 

Now that highway's coming through

So you all gotta move

This bottom rung ain't no fun at all

'Cause now fires and rockhouses and grape-flavored rat poison

Are the new trinity

For this so-called community

 

See how we are

Gotta keep bars on all of our windows

See how we are

We only sing about it once in every twenty years

See how we are

Oh, see how we are

 

See how we are

Yeah, see how we are

Oh, see how we are

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

What are we gonna do now?

Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?

'Cause they're working for the clampdown

They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!

When we're working for the clampdown

We will teach our twisted speech

To the young believers

We will train our blue-eyed men

To be young believers

 

The judge said five to ten-but I say double that again

I'm not working for the clampdown

No man born with a living soul

Can be working for the clampdown

Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall

How can you refuse it?

Let fury have the hour, anger can be power

D'you know that you can use it?

 

The voices in your head are calling

Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming

Only a fool would think someone could save you

The men at the factory are old and cunning

You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'

It's the best years of your life they want to steal

 

You grow up and you calm down

You're working for the clampdown

You start wearing the blue and brown

You're working for the clampdown

So you got someone to boss around

It makes you feel big now

You drift until you brutalize

You made your first kill now

 

In these days of evil presidentes

Working for the clampdown

But lately one or two has fully paid their due

For working for the clampdown

But ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!

 

And I've given away no secrets

Who's barmy now?

[GPARSUNDA]

You don't sing for children or their parents

In the nighttime in a bar

You sing for yourself

You stand up for nothing as far as I can tell

You used to be a folker

'til you went and tried to choke her

 

You're a folk star

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Folk star

 

You don't wear no leather

Don't care whether or not you arrive

On the red carpet

On the charts with a string of broken hearts

Used to be a folker, 'til you tried to choke her

 

You're a folk star, yeah you are

Folk star, yeah you are

 

Come on

You want it

 

A hundred mandolins won't hide the man within

Folk star with your plastic red guitar

Folk star with your plastic red guitar

Folk star with your plastic red guitar

Folk star, yeah

I'm all right

I'm a folk star now

 

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving

But how can they know it's time for them to go?

 

 

"It's a dull, narrow town full of dull, narrow people who don't know anything except what things are like right around here. They have no perspective whatsoever, no scope. "

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Say you stand by your man

Tell me something I don't understand

You said you love me and that's a fact

Then you left me, said you felt trapped

 

Well some things you can explain away

But my heartache's in me till this day

 

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way

 

All the times

When we were close

I'll remember these things the most

I see all my dreams come tumbling down

I won't be happy without you around

 

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay

There is only one thing that I can say

 

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way

 

You must explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me

 

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

 

Now I got a job

But it don't pay

I need new clothes

I need somewhere to stay

But without all these things I can do

But without your love I won't make it through

 

But you don't understand my point of view

I suppose there's nothing I can do

 

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way

 

You must explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me?

 

Did you stand by me

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way
