Genesis Hall
My father he rides in your ships
and I know he would never mean harm
but to see both sides of a quarrel
Is to judge without hate or love.
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
and you don't have anywhere to go.
You take away homes from the homeless
and leave them to die in the cold
the gypsy who begged for your presents
He will laugh in your face when you're old.
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
and you don't have anywhere to go.
Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
another he drinks up his wine
and they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
for those of a different kind.
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
and you don't have anywhere to go.
When the rivers run thicker than trouble
I'll be there at your side in the flood
It was all I could do to keep myself
from taking revenge of blood.
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
and you don't have anywhere to go
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
and you don't have anywhere to go.
Si Tu Dois Partir
TESTO NON DISPONIBILE
Autopsy
You must philosophise
but why must you bore me to tears ?
You're red around the eyes
You tell me things no one else hears
You spend all your time crying
Crying the hours in tears
Crying the hours in tears.
Come lend your time to me
and you will know that you are free
and when you look at me
Don't think you're owning what you see
for remember that you're free
and that's what you want to be
so just lend your time to me.
You must philosophise
but why must you bore me to tears ?
You're red around the eyes
You tell me things no one else hears
You spend all your time crying
Crying the hours in tears
Crying the hours in to ears.
A Sailor's Life
A sailor's life, it is a merry life
He robs young girls of their heart's delight
Leaving them behind to weep and mourn
They never know when they will return.
"Well, there's four and twenty all in a row
My true love he makes the finest show
He's proper, tall, genteel withal
and if I don't have him, I'll have none at all".
"Oh, father build for me a bonny boat
that on the wide ocean I may float
and every Queen's ship that we pass by
there I'll inquire for my sailor boy".
They had not sailed long upon the deep
when a Queen's ship they chanced to meet
"You sailors all, pray tell me true
Does my sweet William sail among your crew ?".
"Oh no, fair maiden, he is not here
for he's been drownded, we greatly fear
on yon green island, as we passed it by
there we lost sight of your sailing boy".
Well, she rung her hands and she tore her hair
She was like a young girl in great despair
and her little boat against a rock did run
"How can I live now ?
My sweet William is gone".
Cajun Woman
Ah Umm, Ah Umm, Ah Umm ...
Baby, that preacher gave you his pain
To ? Let the window ? On his finger in the undertaker's name.
Oh, cajun woman
some people still call you a queen
I don't believe you're sinking
with all the trouble you've been.
He grew up in the bayou with a Bible round his neck
He never loved a woman in the way you would expect.
Oh, cajun woman
some people still call you a queen
I don't believe you're sinking
with all the trouble you've been.
Don't tell him by his father, don't tell him by his name
the dogs won't get to heaven, they'll crucify his brain.
Oh, cajun woman
some people still call you a queen
I don't believe you're sinking
with all the trouble you've been.
Well, it's welcome to the graveyard and welcome to the throne
Welcome to the orphanage where your family sit and moan
Welcome to the liquor stand and welcome to the park
Your mama never told you how lucky you are.
Oh, cajun woman
some people still call you a queen
I don't believe you're sinking
with all the trouble you've been.
Ah Umm, Ah Umm, Ah Umm ...
Who Knows where the Time Goes ?
Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
but how can they know it's time for them to go ?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time.
For who knows where the time goes ?
Who knows where the time goes ?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
but I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time.
For who knows where the time goes ?
Who knows where the time goes ?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
so come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time.
For who knows how my love grows ?
And who knows where the time goes ?
Percy's Song
"Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep"
Turn, turn, turn again
"Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"Tell me the trouble, tell me once to my ear"
Turn, turn, turn again
"Joliet prison and ninety-nine years"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"Oh, what's the charge of how this came to be ?"
Turn, turn, turn again
"Manslaughter in the highest degree"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write
Turn, turn, turn again
Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
Without a reply, I left by the moon
Turn, turn, turn again
and was in his chambers by the next afternoon
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"Would you tell me the facts," I said without fear
Turn, turn, turn again
"That a friend of mine could get ninety-nine years"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"A crash on the highway, flew the car to a field"
Turn, turn, turn again
"There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"But I knew him as good as I'm knowing myself"
Turn, turn, turn again
"And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
The judge he spoke out of the side of his mouth
Turn, turn, turn again
Saying "The witness who saw, he left without doubt"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"That may be true, he's got a sentence to serve"
Turn, turn, turn again
"But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed"
Turn, turn, turn again
"His sentence it is passed and cannot be repealed"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
"But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none"
Turn, turn, turn again
"What happened to him could happen to anyone"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
At that the judge jumped forward and his face it did freeze
Turn, turn, turn again
Saying "Could you kindly leave my office now please ?"
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
His eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow
Turn, turn, turn again
With no other choice except for to go
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam
Turn, turn, turn again
I walked down the courthouse stairs and did not understand
Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind.
And I played my guitar through the night to the day
Turn, turn, turn again
and the only tune my guitar could play was
"The Old Cruel Rain and The Wind".
Million Dollar Bash
Well, that big dumb blonde with Gorgeous George
and Turtle, a friend of theirs, with his cheques all forged
and his cheeks in a trunk with a cheese in the cash
You're all gonna be there at that million dollar bash, and it's.
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
It's that million dollar bash.
Everybody from right now go over there and back
the louder they come, well the bigger they crack
Come now, ? Sweet pea ?, And don't forget the flash
We're all gonna meet at that million dollar bash.
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
It's that million dollar bash.
Well, I took my counsellor out to the barn
Silly Nelly was there, she told him a yarn
then along came Jones and emptied the trash
everybody went down to that million dollar bash.
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
It's that million dollar bash.
Well, I been hittin' it too hard, you know, my ? Sloes ? Won't take
I get up in the morning, bit too early to wake
First it's "Hello", then "Goodbye", they push and they crash
but everybody's gonna make it to that million dollar bash.
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
It's that million dollar bash.
Well, I looked at my watch then I looked at my wrists
Punched myself in my face with my fists and I
Took my taters back a-home to be mashed
but then I made it right on to that million dollar bash.
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
Ooh baby, ooh-ee
It's that million dollar bash.....
