Alone again or
Yeah, said it's all right
I won't forget
all the times I've waited patiently for you
and you'll do just what you choose to do
and I will be alone again tonight my dear.
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
the greatest fun
and I will be alone again tonight my dear.
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
the greatest fun
and I will be alone again tonight my dear.
A House Is not a Motel
At my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
in the halls you'll see the mantles
where the light shines dim all around you
and the streets are paved with gold and if someone asks you,
You can call my name.
You are just a thought that someone
somewhere somehow feels you should be here
and it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
and the streets are paved with gold and if someone asks you,
You can call my name
You can call my name
I hear you calling my name, yeah, all right now.
By the time that I'm through singing
the bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
more confusions, blood transfusions
the news today will be the movies for tomorrow
and the water's turned to blood, and if You don't think so
Go turn on your tub
and it it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
and you can call my name
I hear you call my name.
Andmoreagain
And if you'll see andmoreagain
then you will know andmoreagain
for you can see you in her eyes.
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum.
And when you've given all you had
and everything still turns out
Bad, and all your secrets are your own.
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum.
And I'm
Wrapped in my armor
but my things are material
and I'm
Lost in confusions
'cause my things are material.
And you don't know how much
I love you
Oh, oh, oh...
And if you'll see andmoreagain
then you might be andmoreagain
for you just wish and you are here.
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum.
And I'm
Wrapped in my armor
but my things are material
and I'm
Lost in confusions
'cause my things are material.
And you don't know how much
I love you
Oh, oh, oh...
The Daily Planet
In the morning we arise and
Start the day the same old way
as yesterday the day before and
all in all it's just a day like
all the rest so do your best with
chewing gum and it is oh so
Repetitious
Waiting on the sun.
Down on Go-stop Boulevard it
never fails to bring me down
the sirens and the accidents and
for a laugh there's Plastic Nancy
She's real fancy with her children
They'll go far,
She buys them toys to
Keep in practice
Waiting on the war.
I feel shivers in my spine
when the iceman, yes his ice is melting
Won't be there on time
Hope he finds a rhyme
for his little mind.
I can see you
With no (hands) (face) .
Eyes I need you
You're my (heart) (face).
Look we're going round and round.
Old Man
I once knew a man
Been everywhere in the world
Gave me a tiny ivory ball
Said it would bring me good
never believed it would until
I have been loving you.
Dear old man
He'd seen most everything
Gave me a piece of good advice
Said it would do me well
I couldn't really tell until
I have been loving you.
Now it seems things are not so strange
I can see more clearly suddenly I've found my way.
I know the old man would laugh
He spoke of love's sweeter days
and in his eloquent way
I think he was speaking of you.
You are so lovely
You didn't have to say a thing
but I remember that old man
Telling me he'd seen the light
Gave me a small brown leather book
Insisted that he was right
I only heard him slightly 'til I heard you whisper
Took you up all in my arms.
Dear old man
Wise old man
Fine old man, now.
The Red Telephone
Sitting on a hillside
Watching all the people die
I'll feel much better on the other side
I'll thumb a ride.
I believe in magic
Why, because it is so quick
I don't need power when I'm hypnotized
Look in my eyes.
What are you seeing (I see...)
How do you feel ?
I feel real phony when my name is Phil
Or was that Bill ?
Life goes on here
Day after day
I don't know if I am living or if I'm supposed to be
sometimes my life is so eerie
and if you think I'm happy
Paint me (white) (yellow).
I've been here once
I've been here twice
I don't know if the third's the fourth or if the the fifth's to fix
sometimes I deal with numbers
and if you wanna count me
Count me out.
I don't need the time of day
anytime with me's OK
I just don't want you using up my time
'cause that's not right.
ahh....ahh....ahh....ahh....
They're locking them up today
They're throwing away the key
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me ?
They're locking them up today
They're throwing away the key
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me ?
They're locking them up today
They're throwing away the key
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me ?
We're all normal and we want our freedom
Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom...
All God's chilluns gotta have dere freedom.
Maybe the People Would Be the Times or between Clark and Hilldale
What is happening and how have you been
Gotta go but I'll see you again
and oh, the music is so loud
and then I fade into the...
Crowds of people standing everywhere
'Cross the street I'm at this laugh affair
and here they always play my songs
and me, I wonder if it's...
Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
and if you think it obsolete
then you go back across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey.
When I leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
but if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the...
Moon's a common scene around my town
Yeah where everyone is painted brown
and if we do get stuck away
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah.
Live and Let Live
Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
it has turned into crystal
there's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol
I've got it in my hand
because he's on my land.
And so the story ended
Do you know it oh so well
Well should you need I'll tell you
The end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end
and...
Yes, I've seen you sitting on the couch
I recognize your artillery
I have seen you many times before
once when I was an Indian
and I was on my land
Why can't you understand.
And so the story ended
Do you know it oh so well
Well should you need I'll tell you
the end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end
and...
Served my time
Served it well
You made my soul
See...
Write the rules
in the sky
but ask your leaders
Why Why.
Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
it has turned into crystal
There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol
I've got it in my hand
because he's on my land.
And so the story ended
Do you know it oh so well
well should you need I'll tell you
the end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end
and...
Served my time
Served it well
You made my soul
See...
The Good Humour Man He Sees everything like this
Hummingbirds hum, why do they hum, little girls wearing
Pigtails in the morning, in the morning.
La da da, da da da da.
Merry-go-rounds are going around in and all over
the town in the morning, in the morning.
La da da, da da da da.
tc... tc...tc...tc...
Summertime's here and look over there, flowers every-
where in the morning, in the morning.
La da da, da da da da.
tc... tc...tc...tc...
Bummer in the Summer
Well, I remember when you used to look so good
and I did everything that I possibly could for you.
We used to ride around all over town
but they're puttin' you down for bein' around with me.
But you can go ahead if you want to 'Cause I ain't got no papers on you.
In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber
just to pass till the fall it was you I wanna ball all day.
Ah-we were walkin' along, honey, hand in hand
I'm a-thinkin' of you, mama, when you're thinkin' of another man.
But you can go ahead if you want to 'Cause I ain't got no papers on you.
(No, I don't I ain't got no papers on myself).
All alone on the bone when I didn't have a home
when I saw the way I was and I knew where I was supposed to be.
I was twitchin' so I turned and it's really hard to learn
that everyone I saw was just another part of me.
But you can go ahead if you want to 'cause nobody's got no papers on you.
(No, babe, it's just a falsehood).
You set the scene
Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
Have you been there before ?
Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
What did you take them for ?
There's a private in my boat and he wears pins instead of medals on his coat.
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't lay until I've given her my best.
At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
if you want she brings you water
if you don't then you will burn.
You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what you're put here for ?
You think you're happy and you are happy
That's what you're happy for ?
There's a man who can't decide if he should fight for what his father thinks is right.
There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up but they would rather screw you down.
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
if you're nice she'll bring me water
if you're not then I will burn.
This is the time and life that I am living
and I'll face each day with a smile
for the time that I've been given's such a little while
and the things that I must do consist of more than style
there are places that I am going
this is the only thing that I am sure of
and that's all that lives is gonna die
and there'll always be some people here to wonder why
and for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
there'll be time for you to put yourself on.
Everything I've seen needs rearranging
and for anyone who thinks it's strange
then you should be the first to want to make this change
and for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part you're playing ?
I see your picture
It's in the same old frame
We meet again.
You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while.
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
and if you take it easy
I'm still teethin'
I wanna love you, but...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the time and life that I am living
and I'll face each day with a smile
for the time that I've been given's such a little while
and the things that I must do consist of more than style
there'll be time for you to start all over
this is the time and this is the time and
it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
