Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Though I've tried before to tell her Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Every little thing Every little thing...

Fields Of Gold Fields Of Gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love for to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley? We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold...

Fortress Around Your Heart Fortress Around Your Heart Under the ruins of a walled city Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light No flags of truce, no cries of pity The siege guns had been pounding through the night It took a day to build the city We walked through its streets in the afternoon As I returned across the fields I'd known I recognised the walls that I once made I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge For I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire Then I went off to fight some battle That I'd invented inside my head Away so long for years and years You probably thought, or even wished that I was dead While the armies all are sleeping Beneath the tattered flag we'd made I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge For I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire This prison has now become your home A sentence you seem prepared to pay It took a day to build the city We walked through its streets in the afternoon As I returned across the lands I'd known I recognised the fields where I'd once played I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge For I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire...

Fragile Fragile If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are how fragile we are How fragile we are how fragile we are...

Friends Friends I likes to eat my friends And make no bones about it I likes to eat my friends I couldn't do without it Ain't a man or poet, friend I know just how you'll taste Your limbs go sliding down my throat And never go to waste Your death of course, will sadden me Until I grok your essence I know your life was not in vain When digestion is commencing Consider this a celebration And the deepest pact of friends And I hope that you will dine on me When I come to an end Even friends may come to you With a new found revelation But think of it as life renewed And not their termination "To know you is to eat you," Should be the code of lovers Death brings the highest act of love Preserved for one another People say that what you are Is only what you eat And my friends become a part of me Oh it's then that life's complete To know you is to eat you The act of love supreme Each one of us inside himself Can appetise the dream...

Funny Friend And Me Funny Friend And Me In the quiet time of evening When the stars assume their patterns And the day has made his journey And we wondered just what happened To the life we knew before the world changed When not a thing I held was true But you were kind to me and you reminded me That the world is not my playground There are other things that matter And when a simple needs protecting (see below) My illusions all would shatter But you stayed in my corner The only world I know was upside down And now the world and me, I know you carry me You see the patterns in the big sky Those constellations look like you and I Just like the patterns in the big sky We could be lost we could refuse to try But we made it through in the dark night Would those lucky guys turn out to be But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me I'm not as clever as I thought I was I'm not the boy I used to be because You showed me something different, you showed me something pure I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure But you stayed and you called my name When others would have walked out on a lousy game And you could've made it through But your funny friend and me You see the patterns in the big sky Those constellations look like you and I That tiny planet in a bigger guy I don't know whether I should laugh or cry Just like the patterns in the big sky We'll be together till the end is nigh Don't know the answer or the reason why We'll stick together till the day we die If I had to do this all a second time I won't complain or make a fuss When the angels sing that that unlikely blend Are those two funny friends That's us...

Ghost Story Ghost Story I watch the western sky The sun is sinking The geese are flying south It sets me thinking I did not miss you much I did not suffer What did not kill me Just made me tougher I feel the winter come His icy sinews, Now in the firelight The case continues Another night in court The same old trial The same old questions asked The same denial The shadows closing round Like jury members I look for answers in The fire's embers Why was I missing then That whole December? I give my usual line, I don't remember Another winter comes His icy fingers creep Into these bones of mine These memories never sleep And all these differences A cloak I borrow We kept our distances Why should it follow that I must have loved you? What is a force that binds the stars? I wore this mask to hide my scars What is the power that moves the tide? Never could find a place to hide What moves the earth around the sun? What could I do but run and run and run? Afraid to love, afraid to fail A mast without a sail The moon's a fingernail And slowly sinking Another day begins And now I'm thinking That this is indifference Was my invention When everything I did Sought your attention You were my compass star You were my measure You were a pirate's map Of buried treasure If this was all correct The last thing I'd expect The prosecution rests It's time that I confessed I must have loved you I must have loved you...

Heavy Cloud No Rain Heavy Cloud No Rain Turned on the weather man just after the news I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues He looked at the chart, but he looked in vain Heavy cloud, but no rain Back in time with Louis XVI At the court of the people he was number one He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen When the king said, 'Hi' to the guillotine The royal astrologer was run out of breath He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death He look in the sky, but he look in vain Heavy cloud, but no rain Well the land was cracking and the river was dry All the crops were dying when they ought to be high So to save his farm from the banker's draft The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight He prayed to the sky, but he prayed in vain Heavy cloud, but no rain The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone The clouds won't go till their work is done And every morning you'll hear me pray 'If only it would rain today I asked my baby if there'd be some way She said she save her love for a rainy day So I look in the sky, but I look in vain Heavy cloud, but no rain...

History Will Teach Us Nothing History Will Teach Us Nothing If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past Security in human systems we're told will always, always last Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast If God is dead and an actor plays his part His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse Without freedom from the past things can only get worse Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Our written history is a catalogue of crime The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long A simple act of faith In reason over might To blow up his children will only prove him right History will teach us nothing Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for...

I Been Down So Long I Been Down So Long The sun sets across the ocean I'm a thousand mile from anywhere And my pocketbook in my heart Both just got stolen And the sun act like she don't even care The wind blows cold when you reach the top Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do Well I've been down so long It can't be that much longer still And I've been down for so long That the end must be drawing near I looked to everybody but me To answer my prayers Until I found an angel in the bathroom Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin - Don't matter what side it lands on So long as it's somebody else's dime" Cause if you're the top of the bottom It all feels the same We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor Guess all I can do is muster up some change And a little bit of faith And take some dignity when I walk through this door Gonna take a trip Catch a train Got a ticket in my hand And then a fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea In a thousand people I do not know But really they are no different from me They all have passion They all have fear They all have intense confusion And no sweet moments that are clear They all have aspirations High hopes and dreams And are really that alone like me We've been down so long It can't be that much longer still We've been down so long That the end must be...

I Hung My Head I Hung My Head Early one morning with time to kill I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bead on him to practice my aim My brother's rifle went off in my hand A shot rang out across the land The horse he kept running, the rider was dead I hung my head, I hung my head I set off running to wake from the dream My brother's rifle went into the stream I kept on running into the salt lands And that's where they found me, my head in my hands The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run" Then it came to me just what I had done And all for no reason, just one piece of lead I hung my head, I hung my head Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there I see the judge high up in his chair "Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find" I said "I felt the power of death over life I orphaned his children I widowed his wife I beg their forgiveness I wish I was dead" I hung my head, I hung my head Early one morning with time to kill I see the gallows up on the hill And out in the distance a trick of the brain I see a lone rider crossing the plain He's come to fetch me to see what they done We'll ride together til Kingdom come I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead I hung my head, I hung my head...

I Was Brought To My Senses I Was Brought To My Senses Alone with my thoughts this evening I walked on the banks of Tyne I wondered how I could win you Or if I could make you mine Or if I could make you mine The wind it was so insistent With tales of a stormy south But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree There came a dryness in my mouth Came a dryness in my mouth For then without rhyme or reason The two birds did rise up to fly And where the two birds were flying I swear I saw you and I I swear I saw you and I I walked out this morning It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes For the first time I saw the work of heaven In the line where the hills had been married to the sky And all around me every blade of singing grass Was calling out your name and that our love would always last And inside every turning leaf Is the pattern of an older tree The shape of our future The shape of all our history And out of the confusion Where the river meets the sea Came things I'd never seen Things I'd never seen I was brought to my senses I was blind but now that I can see Every signpost in nature Said you belong to me I know it's true It's written in a sky as blue As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes If nature's red in tooth and claw Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw The wounds she gave me Were the wounds that would heal me And we'd be like the moon and sun And when our courtly dance had run Its course across the sky Then together we would lie And out of the confusion Where the river meets the sea Something new would arrive Something better would arrive I was brought to my senses I was blind but now that I can see Every signpost in nature Said you belong to me...

It's Probably Me It's Probably Me If the night turned cold And the stars looked down And you hug yourself On the cold cold ground You wake the morning In a stranger's coat No-one would you see You ask yourself, 'Who'd watch for me? My only friend, who could it be? It's hard to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me When your belly's empty And the hunger's so real And you're too proud to beg And too dumb to steal You search the city For your only friend No-one would you see You ask yourself, Who'll Watch For Me? A solitary voice to speak out and set me free I hate to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me You're not the easiest person I ever got to know And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show Some would say I should let you go your way You'll only make me cry If there's one guy, just one guy Who'd lay down his life for you and die It's hard to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me When the world's gone crazy, and it makes no sense And there's only one voice that comes to your defence And the jury's out And your eyes search the room And one friendly face is all you need to see If there's one guy, just one guy Who'd lay down his life for you and die I hate to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me I hate to say it I hate to say But it's probably me I hate to say it I hate to say But it's probably me I hate to say it I hate to say But it's probably me...

January Stars January Stars Ten below and falling fast Those days of summer were long past My horoscope said you'd come back I have my doubts, you see And as I watched the mercury And thought about the prophecy A new moon and an early thaw I watched the door for you If January stars came true And as I gaze at winter stars The second house conjunct with Mars They would suggest that we'll be one I have my doubts, you see If I maintain a skeptic's eye And train the other on the sky I'd eat my hat if it came true I'd probably eat yours too If January stars came true If January stars came true Now I'm in a pretty mess It's getting warmer I confess My horoscope said you'd come back I have my doubts it's true And as I watched the mercury And thought about the prophecy A new moon and an early thaw I left the door for you If January stars If January stars If January stars came true January stars...

Jeremiah Blues Part 1 Jeremiah Blues Part 1 It was midnight, midnight at noon Everyone talked in rhyme Everyone saw the big clock tick-in', Nobody knew, nobody knew the time Elegant débutantes smiled Everyone fought for dimes Newspapers screamed for blood It was the best of times Every place around the world, it seemed the same Can't hear the rhythm for the drums Everybody wants to look the other way When something wicked this way comes Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me Everyone told the truth All that we heard were lies A Pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the past This was a big surprise Nobody knew the time Everyone fell in love A Cardinal's wife was jailed The government saved a dying planet When popular icons failed Every place around the world it seemed the same Can't hear the rhythm for the drums Everybody wants to look the other way When something wicked this way comes Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me...

King Of Pain King Of Pain There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday There's a black hat caught in a high tree top There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a little black spot on the sun today (That's my soul up there) It's the same old thing as yesterday (That's my soul up there) There's a black hat caught in a high tree top (That's my soul up there) There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop (That's my soul up there) I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall (That's my soul up there) There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall (That's my soul up there) There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb (That's my soul up there) There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web (That's my soul up there) I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread King of pain There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack (That's my soul up there) There's a black-winged gull with a broken back (That's my soul up there) There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain king of pain king of pain king of pain I'll always be king of pain...

Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot When you're down and they're counting When your secrets all found out When your troubles take to mounting When the map you have leads you to doubt When there's no information And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well Let your soul be your pilot Let your soul guide you He'll guide you well When the doctors failed to heal you When no medicine chest can make you well When no counsel leads to comfort When there are no more lies they can tell No more useless information And the compass spins The compass spins between heaven and hell Let your soul be your pilot Let your soul guide you He'll guide you well And your eyes turn towards the window pane To the lights upon the hill The distance seems so strange to you now And the dark room seems so still Let your pain be my sorrow Let your tears be my tears too Let your courage be my model That the north you find will be true When there's no more useless information And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well Let your soul be your pilot Let your soul guide you Let your soul guide you Let your soul guide you upon your way...

Lithium Sunset Lithium Sunset Fill my eyes O Lithium sunset And take this lonesome burden Of worry from my mind Take this heartache Of obsidian darkness And fold my darkness Into your yellow light I've been scattered I've been shattered I've been knocked out of the race But I'll get better I feel your light upon my face Heal my soul O Lithium sunset And I'll ride the turning world Into another night See mercury falling...

Little Wing Little Wing Well, she's walking through the clouds with a circus mind that's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales, That's all she ever thinks about... Riding the wind When I'm sad she comes to me with a thousand smiles she gives to me free It's alright, she says, It's alright Take anything you want from me, anything, Fly on, little wing... Sting |
Love Is Stronger Than Justice Love Is Stronger Than Justice This is a story of seven brothers We had the same father but different mothers We keep together like a family should Roaming the country for the common good It came to pass one fateful day We found ourselves down Mexico way The town, the mayor, the P.T.A. Pleading on their knees with us all to stay We'd only stopped for a few burritos But they told us of the trouble with los banditos A poor little town in need of aid My brothers and me had never been afraid The age of chivalry is not dead Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed There'd be a bride for every man Who chased away the evil gang Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river in flood The outcome was predictable Our banditos were despicable Of blood we lost a dozen litres A small price to pay for los seńoritas The town mayor was happy, but his face was glum The maidens numbered only one There weren't seven brides for seven brothers I knew I had to get rid of the others Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river in flood Mother told me I was the clever one The seventh son of a seventh son It all ended so happily I settled down with the family I look forward to a better day But ethical stuff never got in my way And though there used to be brothers seven The other six are singing in heaven For love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river in flood Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love, love, love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river in flood Love is a big fat river in flood...

Love Is The Seventh Wave Love Is The Seventh Wave In the empire of the senses You're the queen of all you survey All the cities, all the nation Everything that falls your way, I say There is a deeper world than this that you don't understand There is a deeper world that this tugging at your hand Every ripple on the ocean Every leaf on every tree Every sand dune in the desert Every power we never see There is a deeper wave than this, swelling in the world There is a deeper wave than this, listen to me girl Feel it rising in the cities Feel it sweeping overland Over borders, over frontiers Nothing will its power withstand, I say There is no deeper wave than this rising in the world There is no deeper wave than this listen to me girl All the bloodshed, all the anger All the weapons, all the greed All the armies, all the missiles All the symbols of that fear, I say There is a deeper wave than this rising in the world There is a deeper wave than this, listen to me girl At the still point of destruction At the centre of the fury All the angels, all the devils All around us, can't you see? There is a deeper wave than this rising in the land There is a deeper wave than this nothing will withstand I say love is the seventh wave I say love is the seventh wave I say love is the seventh wave I say love is the seventh wave I say love is the seventh wave I say love is the seventh wave I say love Every ripple on the ocean Every leaf on every tree Every sand dune in the desert Every breath you take with me Every breath you take, every move you make Every cake you bake, every leg you break...
