Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better eaarn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

Better take care
I think I better go, I better get a room, better take care of me
Again and again
I think about this and I think about personal history
Better take care
I breathe so deep when the movie gets real when the star turns round
Again and again
He looks me in the eye and says he's got his mind on a countdown 3-2-1

Forever
I'm screaming that I'm gonna be living on till the end of time
Forever
The sky splits open to a dull red skull and my head hangs low
Cause it's all over now

There's never gonna be enough money
There's never gonna be enough drugs
And I'm never ever gonna get old
There's never gonna be enough bullets
There's never gonna be enough sex
And I'm never ever gonna get old
So I'm never ever gonna get high
And I'm never ever gonna get low
And I'm never ever gonna get old

Better take care
The moon blows on to the end of the world because of you
Again and again
And I'm awake to an age of light and I'm living it because of you
Better take care
Looking at the future, solid as a rock, because of you
Again and again
I wanna be here then I wanna be there, living just like you, living just like me

Forever
Putting on my gloves and I bury my bones in the marshland
Forever
Think about my soul but I don't need a thing, just a ring of the bell in the cool clean air

Now I'm running down the street of life
And I'm never gonna let you die
And I'm never ever gonna get old
And I'm never ever gonna get...
And I'm never ever gonna get...


Never Get Old- David Bowie

16:49 / 27.09.03
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
I'm playing your stereogram
Singles remind me of kisses
Albums remind me of plans
Tonight it's love by the fire
The wind plays over the coals
Passionate looks are my fancy
But you turn the look into stone

If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so...?
Maybe love me
Oh if I didn't love you?

If I, if I, if I
Didn't, didn't, didn't
Love you, love you, love you

Gotta Know The Rules - Social Distortion


Spent my whole life, yeah
Looking for something
What it was, I'm not really sure
I looked for happiness
But only found sorrow
Then I realized how to unlock that door, yeah, yeah, yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy
Maybe just for fools
Some say life
Is a struggle now
It's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules

A little Can-con:

Floating - Blue Rodeo
========================
Well, these late night conversations
Leave a strange taste
Like French cigarettes
And these coloured drinks
That you keep on throwing at me
Just keep on reminding me
That I came to forget

So now every night
You insist on reminding me
Of my lost possibilities
And the stains on the wall
Well I don't mean to complain
Still it hurts just the same
And both of us know
The leaves will fall on their own

Just throw me a line
That's all that I ask
It's sink or swim and I'm going fast
I need love and it's you
And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool

Yeah you tell me
Life is for living
It's best in the giving
But it's so hard to be free
Still I do my best
But you refuse my gift
Now all we share is a collection of tears

Just throw me a line
That's all that I ask
It's sink or swim and I'm going fast
I need love and it's you
And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool



Underground - Blue Rodeo
===========================

There's a way I've been told
If we walk together
Keeps us from this cold
On the sidewalks of these streets
Lie the broken dreams
Scattered at our feet

Lead me on I don't mind
I'll come forward laughing every time
All my friends have gone underground
Go underground...

There's a shadow on this land
There's a growing darkness
Of a cruel and senseless hand
This block won't be the same
Now the music's there
But somehow something's changed

Lead me on I don't mind
I'll come forward laughing every time
All my friends they've gone underground
I got burned left too quick
Got myself locked outside the heart of it
All my friends they've gone
Underground underground underground

There's a song that I've heard
Rising up above the streets
Of this crumbling world
About the sadness in every day
How it leaves and takes
A bit of your faith away

Lead me on I don't mind
I'll come forward laughing every time
All my friends they've gone underground
I got burned left too quick
Got myself locked outside the heart of it
All my friends have gone underground
Go underground...go underground...

And one more...


Five Days In May - Blue Rodeo
================================

They met in a hurricane
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way
For those 5 days in May
Made all the stars around them shine
Funny how you can look in vain
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
The loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Looking back it's hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading South
She loved the lines around his mouth

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one


(Just for you.)

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I'd wanna go right away
To a January night
I built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become

Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name

I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better

It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear


Cat Power--Colors and the kids

Aaaand, this one...

Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
==============================

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this before I go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this and more?
Baby, maybe its 'cause you didn't know me at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time, I'll only make you cry
this is our last goodbye
Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
Did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes
And the memories offer signs that it's over
Over...



Good choice. Too bad.

Another good choice...

Dave Matthews band - Crush.

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting, smoking, feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'til morning comes
Watch the sunrise
To fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'til we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop, I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is it real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady I will treat you sweetly
Adore you
I mean
You crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know
How I love you
Come on
Lady
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain
we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more I love you
Crush me
Come on
Lady
So much you have given love
That I would give you back
Again and again
Meaning I'll hold you
And please
Let me always

But we certainly have to follow that one up with this lovely ditty.

Liar - Henry Rollins
=======================

you think you're gonna to live your life alone
in darkness
and seclusion
yeah I know
you've been out there
tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home
and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
and now you're desperate
and in need of human contact
and then
you meet me
and you whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
and you trust me completely
I'm perfect
in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality
and you never bother to wonder why
things are going so well
you wanna know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
a liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know
so you can say
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me
is just the time that I'm bleeding you
don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
and I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me
you wanna know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why I feel the need to lie
and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside
maybe it's something I can't explain
cause all I do
is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar
oh, I am a liar

if you'll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
because now I see the destructive power of a lie
they're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
that I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
no, no
ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa
sucker
sucker!
oh, sucker
I am a liar
yeah, I am a liar
yeah I like it
I feel good
ohh I am a liar
yeah
I lie
I lie
I lie
oh, I lie
oh I lie
I lie
yeah
ohhh I'm a liar
I lie
yeah
I like it
I feel good
I'll lie again
and again
I'll lie again and again
and I'll keep lying
I promise



ooh...such a bad ass. Loser.

Ripple - The Grateful Dead, although I've been blasting the Jane's Addiction version.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

if you choose to lead, must follow
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

Everybody needs a glass of water today
To chase the hate away
You know you've got company coming over
So you scrub extra hard
And everybody need somebody to love
Before it's too late
It's too late

(Ain't nobody wanna make it on their own...)

Everybody needs someone to rub their shoulders
And scratch their dandruff
And everybody needs to quit actin’ hard and shit
Before you get your ass whooped
(I’ll slap the fuck out ya!)
Everybody needs somebody to love
Before it's too late
It’s too late

Love hater!
Love hater! Hater of love!
Love hater!
Love hater! Hater of love!
Love hater!
Love hater! Hater of love!

(Everybody wants somebody to love...
Everybody wants somebody to love...
Everybody wants somebody to love...)

Bless the Johns.

"Wake me when it's over, touch my face
Tell me every word has been erased
Don't you want to know the reason
Why the cupboard's not appealing
Don't you get the feeling that

Everything that's right is wrong again
You're a weasel overcome with dinge
Weasel overcome but not before the damage done
The healing doesn't stop the feeling"


and also...


"Hello. This is Leslie Down with the daily home astrology report.
Taurus: Contemplate domestic turmoil.
Aquarius: Abandon hope for future plans."

The Masterplan
by Oasis

Take the time to make some sense
of what you want to say
and cast your words away upon the waves

and sail them home with acquiesce
on a ship of hope today
and as they land upon the shore
tell them not to fear no more
say it loud, and sing it proud today

and then dance if you wanna dance
please brother take a chance
you know they're gonna go
which way they wanna go
all we know is that we don't
know how it's gonna be
please brother let it be
life on the other hand
won't make us understand
we're all part of the masterplan

say it loud and sing it proud today

i'm not saying right is wrong
it's up to us to make
the best of all the things
that come our way

'cos everything that's been has passed
the answer's in the looking glass
there's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
say it loud and sing it proud today

we'll dance if they wanna dance
please brother take a chance
you know they're gonna go
which way they wanna go
all we know is that we don't
know how it's gonna be
please brother let it be
life on the other hand
won't make you understand
we're all part of the masterplan

ooooooohhhhh
ooooooohhhhh

get you.

can't get the stink off
he's hanging 'round for days
comes like a comet
suckered you, but not your friends
one day he'll get to you
and teach you how to be a holy cow

you do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
is you do it to yourself
just you
you, and no one else
you do it to yourself
you do it to yourself

you don't get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor
change the locks three times,
I still come reeling through the door
one day I'll get to you
and show you how to get to purest hell

you do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
is you do it to yourself
just you
you, and no one else
you do it to yourself
you do it to yourself

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Two doors remain before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street!
My pockets are out and running about!
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street!
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

The hills ringing, hear the words in time
Listen to the holler!
Listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
The air quicken tension building inference, suddenly:
LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT!

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock
A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street!
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there
My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the HOLLER!!!
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the HOLLER!
If I write a book it will be called
"Life and How to Live It"

My heart may burst
If you drink me up i'm
Gonna quench your thirst

You're not honest
No you're not that nice
But if i kiss you once i'm
Gonna kiss you twice

I'm burning up
Can you feel it burning me

I wrote a letter on a nothing day
I asked someone, "could you send my letter away?"
"You are too young to put all of your hopes in one envelope."

I said goodbye to someone that I loved
it's not just me,
I tell you it's the both of us
and it was hard, like coming off the pill that you take to stay happy

someone above has seen me do all right
someone above is looking with a tender eye upon your face
you may think you're alone but you may think again

if I could do just one near-perfect thing I'd be happy
they'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes
on second thought, I'd rather hang around
and be there with my best friend if she wants me

and far away, somebody read the letter
he condescends to read the words I wrote about him
and if he smiles, it's no more than a genius deserves
for all your curious nerve and your passion

I'm going deaf, you're growing melancholy
things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all
but life is good and it's always worth living at least for a while

if I could do just one near-perfect thing I'd be happy
they'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes
on second thought, I'd rather hang around
and be there with my best friend if she wants me

if you think to yourself "What should I do now?"
then take the baton, girl, you better run with it
because there is no point
in standing in the bath cos it's over and done

I took a book and went into the forest
I climbed a hill, I wanted to look down on you
but all I saw was 20 miles of wilderness so I went home

So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
Without himself
You drove your demons out

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about making your amends
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if they're all
Someone else's atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about making your amends
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
With your halo slipping down
With your halo slipping down
With your halo slipping down to choke you now

hey, what's the big deal?
tell me how to feel
I know where we boomeranged and fell from grace
point me to the stars, I'm up for the chase
I know where we fell on our face
jump with me, you jump with me, hey!

what's the big deal?
I'm an animal.

the answer landed on the rooftop, whoa!
the future and the truth, whoa!
it's calling me to work it out,
it's calling me to work it out...whoa!

I don't wanna boomerang.
I don't wanna cannonball.
I'm not angling.
I don't want to fall.
tell me I'm the anchor of my own ascension.
tell me I'm a tourist in the 4th dimension?

what's the big deal?
I'm an animal.

the answer landed on the rooftop, whoa!
the future and the truth, whoa!
it's calling me to work it out,
it's calling me to work it out...whoa!

I am vibrating at the speed of light
take my hand, we'll wind up the night
spin me, win me, lift me, kiss me
trip me, cuss me, bend me, trust me
touch me now
you take my hand
you trust me now
you understand

so what's the big deal?
I'm an animal.

the answer landed on the rooftop, whoa!
the future and the truth, whoa!
it's calling me to work it out,
it's calling me to work it out...whoa!

I am vibrating at the speed of light!
I am vibrating at the speed of light!
I am vibrating at the speed of light!

Cake: Never There

I need your arms around me
I need to feel your touch
I need your understanding
I need your love so much

You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby, you're never there

On the phone
long, long distance
always through such strong resistance
First you say you're to busy
I wonder if you even miss me

Never there
You're never there
You're never ever ever ever there

A golden bird that flies away
A candle's fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday
Your love was just a game

You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby

Take the time to get to know me
If you want me why can't you just show me
Well, always on this roller coaster
If you want me why can't you get closer

Never there
You're never there
You're never ever ever ever there

you dig down underground
through the soil, through the cooling clay
as the din fades above you
you're moving, you're secret, you're nowhere,
it's all good

no lights lead you onwards
no signs point you on your way
just earth in all directions
it's endless, it's mapless,
no compass, no north star

you're gone 'cause they can't find you
you're lost 'cause they don't know the way
they blame themselves, they blame each other
they're angry, they're sorry,
they're worried, you don't care

the shovels scrape somewhere up there
they just want to know if you're okay
the morse code, tapped with hammers
you hear it, you know it,
ignore it, you're on your way

but at some point, you've got to come up for air
you wipe the rocks and mud and dirt out of your hair
blind and queasy, with a growing sense of despair
you don't know anyone

you look around, trying to find someone you know you
put your hand up in the air, kinda wave hello
but if they do care, they're not letting it show
this can't be new to you

there's a feeling coming back
connected by a thread
pulling at your hands like a spiderweb
like a kite that isn't there

if it's a life of possibilities that pulls you away
that claws and tears
and challenges you to stay
well, then
if it's a life of possibilities that you've gotta live
then don't be suprised when they don't remember you
or simply don't want to

Here's my life at the moment and probably for quite some time to come -

I'm in love with Mary Jane.
She's my main thing.
She makes me feel alright.
She makes my heart sing.

Rick's chorus:
And when I'm feeling low,
She comes as no surprise.
Turns me on with her love.
Takes me to paradise.

Do you love me Mary Jane?
Yeah. Whoa-oh-oh.
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Now do you think you love me Mary Jane.
Don't you play no games.

Female chorus.

I love her just the same.
I love her, Mary baby, just the same.
The woman plays no games.
Now, now, now.

I'm in love with Mary Jane.
I'm not the only one.
If Mary wanna play around,
I let her have her fun.
She's not the kind of girl
that you can just tie down.
She likes to spread her love
and turn your head around.

Long ago
And oh so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar
It sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really there
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you love me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, i really do

Loneliness, is such a sad affair
And i can hardly wait
To be with you again
What to say
To make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar

Don't you remember you told me you love me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, i really do

Don't you remember you told me you love me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, i really do

Allow me to reintroduce myself:
My name is Hov (Hov!), H to the O V
I used to move snowflakes by the OZ
I guess even back then you can call me
CEO of the ROC, Hov!
Fresh out the frying pan into the fire, I be the
Music biz number one supplier
Flyer than a piece of paper bearing my name
Got the hottest chick in the game, wearing my chain
That's right, Hov! Not D-O-C, but similar to them letters, no-one can do it better
I check cheddar like a food inspector
My homie strict told me "dude, finish your breakfast"
So that's what I'm a do, take you back to the dude
With the Lexus fast-forward, the jewels and the necklace
Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this:
Shoot at you actors like movie directors.
(This ain't a movie, dogs!)

"Now, before I finish, let me just say: I did not come here to show out, did not come here to impress you. Because to tell you the truth, when I leave here I am gone, and I don't care what you think about me. But just remember: when it hits the fan, brother, whether it's next year, ten years, twenty years from now, you'll never be able to say that these brothers lied to you, Jack."

They ain't lie, how I came through the block and everything that's fly
I'm like Che Guevera with bling on, I'm complex
I never claimed to have wings on, I get mine
By any means, son whenever there's a drought
Get your umbrellas out because that's when I brain-storm
You can blame Sean, but I ain't invent the game
I just rolled the dice, trying to get some change
And I do it twice, ain't no sense in me lying as if I am a different man
And I could blame my environment but
That ain't no reason why I be buying expensive chains
Hope you dont think users are the only abusers, getting high within the game
If you do then how would you explain
I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins
I got a hustler's spirit, period
Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it
Check out my swag yo, I walk like a ball-player
No matter where you go you are what you are player
And you could try to change but that's just the top layer
Man, you was who you was when you got here
Only God can judge me so I'm gone
Either love me, or leave me alone.

can I feel useless and low?
could I hide a chain of gold from your eyes?
Sandy thinks he knows the trade
the game, the plays, the ways I made

do you believe in the first way to lend a hand?
it's a second chance you never planned
just a close encounter that comes to mind
a rummage sale you barely find

and it's sold
and you better believe it's freezing cold

oh whitehall! whitehall women rejoice!
tell us we're the ones with the most
and hear the sounds of our voices
we've been waiting for our host

Brixton bunnies come in
we can see the state you're in
nothing like a smiling face
what a waste you've been

Clapham clowns stop your frowning
let it go, you're not alone

the river may keep you drowning
but the south is only a home

Just for a short moment...

Slow down, you move too fast, you've got to make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobble-stones, lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy

Feeling groovy

Hello lamp-post, what's you knowin', I come to watch the flowers growin'
Ain't you got no rhymes for me, do-it-do-do-do, feelin' groovy

Feeling groovy

I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dabbled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its pebbles on me

Life I love you, all is groovy

Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
My hands are black the sun is going down
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
She's listening to the dream I weaved today
Crosswords through the bathroom door
While someone sings the theme-tune to the news
And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
And that's what triggered this.
I come back here from time to time
I shelter here some days.

A high-back chair. He sits and stares
A thousand yards and whistles
Marching-band (Boom-ching)
Kneeling by and speaking up
He reaches out and I take a
Massive hand. Disjointed tales
That flit between short trousers
And a full dress uniform
And he talks of people ten years
Gone like I've known them all my life
Like scattered black 'n' whites….

Elbow, Scattered Black and Whites.

When the colour of the night
and all the smoke for one life
gives way to shaky movements,
improvisational skills,
a forest of whispering speakers
let’s swear that we will
get with the times,
in a current health to stay
let’s get friendship right
get life day-to-day
in the forget-yer-skates dream
full of countervailing woes
In diverse-as-ever scenes
proceeding on a need-to-know
in a face so full of meaning
as to almost make it glow

0’ for a good life, we just might have to weaken

and find somewhere to go
go somewhere we’re needed
find somewhere to grow
grow somewhere we’re needed.

bitter fish in crude oil sea
you don't have to bother me
you just have to join on this song

crawling people on your knees
don't take this so seriously
you just have to hum it all day long

to dine alone
to build a private zone
or trigger a synapse
and free us from our traps

you won't see me turn my back
with my head against my stack
spinning deep and breaking open skin

official ironman, you are free
champions officially, but
you won't catch me on an open chin

to dine alone
to build a private zone
or trigger a synapse
and free us from our traps

knockout punches for the freaks
happy little babies with red cheeks
you will rock them gently out of sync

confirmations through the wire
spitting gas into the fire
am I also worthy of a drink?

to dine alone
to build a private zone
or trigger a synapse
and free us from our traps

Dear God, you made many, many poor people. I realize, of course, that
it's no great shame to be poor... but it's no great honor, either. So what would have
been the difference if I had... a small fortune?


If I were a rich man,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
If I were a biddy-biddy rich,
Daidle deedle daidle daidle man.

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
Right in the middle of the town,
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese
And ducks for the town to see and hear,
Squawking just as noisily as they can,
And each loud "pa-pa-geeee! pa-pa-gaack! pa-pa-geeee! pa-pa-gaack!"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man."
Oy!

If I were a rich man,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
If I were a biddy-biddy rich,
Daidle deedle daidle daidle man.

I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife,
With a proper double chin,
Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock,
Oy! What a happy mood she's in,
Screaming at the servants day and night.

The most important men in town will come to fawn on me--
They will ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise--
"If you please, Reb Tevye?"--
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye?"--
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes--
(chanting) Ya va voy, ya va voy voy vum...
And it won't make one bit of difference
If I answer right or wrong--
When you're rich, they think you really know.

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray,
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall,
And I'd discuss the learned books with the holy men
Seven hours every day--
That would be the sweetest thing of all...
Oy!

If I were a rich man,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
Lord who made the lion and the lamb,
You decreed I should be what I am--
Would it spoil some vast, eternal plan,
If I were a wealthy man?
