"GIVE IT TIME"
THE MYNABIRDS
Hold on- hold right there a minute.
This horse could mean anything.
But we don't have to guess if he's good or he's bad-
We'll wait and we'll see.
This horse could mean anything.
But we don't have to guess if he's good or he's bad-
We'll wait and we'll see.
It's hard to know when you're in it
If it's heads or it's tails, if we won or we failed-
Oh, we'll wait and we'll see.
If it's heads or it's tails, if we won or we failed-
Oh, we'll wait and we'll see.
But I don't wanna talk- keep to yourself.
I don't wanna talk- so keep to yourself.
'Cause we said a lot and it sure hasn't got us anywhere yet.
I don't wanna talk- so keep to yourself.
'Cause we said a lot and it sure hasn't got us anywhere yet.
Every now and then, I hear the cold light of reason,
Firing like guns from the east.
But the end of the night, is it wrong it's right?
Oh, we'll wait and we'll see.
Firing like guns from the east.
But the end of the night, is it wrong it's right?
Oh, we'll wait and we'll see.

'Cause we said a lot and it sure hasn't got us anywhere yet.
I don't wanna talk- so keep to yourself.
'Cause we said a lot and it sure hasn't got us anywhere yet.
Give it time.
Give it time and silence.
Give it time and silence.
"WHAT WE GAINED IN THE FIRE"
THE MYNABIRDS
We are ships on an ocean,
Passing on our way back home.
We collide for a minute,
Andwe move on, we move on.
Passing on our way back home.
We collide for a minute,
Andwe move on, we move on.
But I got something I don't wanna lose.
And I'm not ready to leave you.
And I'm not ready to leave you.
We are born far from each other,
Then we find our way back home.
Though the road seems familiar-
We're just remembering where to go.
Then we find our way back home.
Though the road seems familiar-
We're just remembering where to go.
And I got something I don't wanna lose.
'Cause I'm just starting to remember you.
'Cause I'm just starting to remember you.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire is never gone.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire is never gone.
We are lost without each other
As we make our way back home.
Though the road leads together,
Still we make our way alone.
As we make our way back home.
Though the road leads together,
Still we make our way alone.
And I got something I don't wanna lose.
But I'm learning to let go of you.
But I'm learning to let go of you.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire is never gone.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire, we gain in the flood.
What we lose in the fire is never gone.

"SO TIRED"
NAP EYES
Nigel, you're so scared
Of people trying to control your life and
Criticize you
Change what you do
Make you have to admit
Anyone else knows better than you do
Of people trying to control your life and
Criticize you
Change what you do
Make you have to admit
Anyone else knows better than you do
And you don't have an answer for everything, alright
And you don't have an answer for everything at night
And you don't have an answer for everything at night
It's quite a difficult game
It's got too many rules
There's not enough players
There's only you
It's got too many rules
There's not enough players
There's only you
If I could make a suggestion
I'd only hope that it wouldn't be rude
But then what if like so many people
I'm too scared to?
I'd only hope that it wouldn't be rude
But then what if like so many people
I'm too scared to?
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
When I've been mired, stranded in the same fate
Though I feel inspired
But a moment later find I've been too late
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
When I've been mired, stranded in the same fate
Though I feel inspired
But a moment later find I've been too late
I'm so tired of trying to recreate
I'm so tired of proving it to you
That I've been mired in the same deluge as you
When I feel inspired
But a moment later forget what I'm trying to do
I've been tired, so tired, of trying to get through to you
When it should be easy
That I've been mired in the same deluge as you
When I feel inspired
But a moment later forget what I'm trying to do
I've been tired, so tired, of trying to get through to you
When it should be easy

"CLICK CLACK"
NAP EYES
I thought I should talk, man, I guess I need to listen
When she got caught in this world that she didn't even think
The wool that hides the wolf inside sheep's clothing
Could be so soft, and now she's on the brink
When she got caught in this world that she didn't even think
The wool that hides the wolf inside sheep's clothing
Could be so soft, and now she's on the brink
Over the autumn fields, across the water
Under the starry cloak of night
Under the starry cloak of night
Blue light, baby won't you light me a lantern
It's been too many hours since I last saw your pretty face
If a night is dark but if I don't see it when the man turns
His human bark into another place
It's been too many hours since I last saw your pretty face
If a night is dark but if I don't see it when the man turns
His human bark into another place
Sometimes drinking I feel so happy but then
I can't remember why
I feel sad all over again
Sometimes drinking I
Don't know my best friend for my best friend
I can't remember why
I feel sad all over again
Sometimes drinking I
Don't know my best friend for my best friend
Broken on the drum, an ancient ancient arrow
His people cold, swept onto the tender plain
And slow by slow by slow by slower than slow
Unto the open houses brought by the children of Joseph came
His people cold, swept onto the tender plain
And slow by slow by slow by slower than slow
Unto the open houses brought by the children of Joseph came
Play songs by the fire a while
Here are stories my child
Don't you feel like a train chugging, train chugging
In my head
Oh and now I know who I really really am
I, I'm going to stay on track
Still I can't lose myself, I'm haunted
By the sound
Click, clack, click, clack
Here are stories my child
Don't you feel like a train chugging, train chugging
In my head
Oh and now I know who I really really am
I, I'm going to stay on track
Still I can't lose myself, I'm haunted
By the sound
Click, clack, click, clack
Yes and now I know who I really am
I, I'm going to stay on track

Still I cant really lose myself, I'm haunted

"LION IN CHAINS"
NAP EYES
When I think thoughts about my home town
I sometimes feel like I'll never get back
On the brink, a shadow covers over
Whatever future I thought that I could have
I sometimes feel like I'll never get back
On the brink, a shadow covers over
Whatever future I thought that I could have
At the sink I wait for the cold water
I burned myself here one too many times
At the lab they've turned off the hot water heater
from the month of June right through until July
I burned myself here one too many times
At the lab they've turned off the hot water heater

A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains
A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains
Passing slowly the hours of my discontent
I felt a new craze welling up behind my eyes
In a flood of tears I gave myself to the heavens
Where once a fire of anxious feelings
Forced me not to cry
I felt a new craze welling up behind my eyes
In a flood of tears I gave myself to the heavens
Where once a fire of anxious feelings
Forced me not to cry
A lion in chains above me
A lion in chains above me

A lion in chains
Through my window and down across my sight lines
to the river where the evening thrush resides
along the water winding through woods and open fields
my imagination
A lion in chains above me

Through my window and down across my sight lines

my imagination
A lion in chains above him
A lion in chains above him
A lion in chains above him
With a lion in chains
A lion in chains above him
A lion in chains above him
With a lion in chains
Sleeping at the crest of a titanic crashing wave
I felt a strange dream of jealousy and the know it all crown
I wandered blindly through the field
I wandered blindly and alone
But could not find another one for my protector and my guide

I wandered blindly through the field

"OH MY FRIENDS"
NAP EYES
Oh my friends it makes me glad to know you're beside me
But I'm sad to know you're breaking up
Me, I have loved, but if my lover denies me
Come find me with my broken cup
Under the trees of old life lamenting
The childhood that comes no more
I keep poring over scratched-out pages
The wine I paid with heart aches more
Set to the pace of a distant blue sky
But in the hearts flutter boiling red
I feel something but I can't quite say why
Won't you comfort me baby, won't you cradle my head
You hold yourself so distant and careful
So I sing the charms of fading day
Cool winters night or just a springtime posing
But If you drop the cradle, I will do the same
And that way
You can be the child
Oh, once in a while
Oh mister, won't you help me
I won't let you down
But I'm sad to know you're breaking up
Me, I have loved, but if my lover denies me
Come find me with my broken cup
Under the trees of old life lamenting
The childhood that comes no more
I keep poring over scratched-out pages
The wine I paid with heart aches more
Set to the pace of a distant blue sky
But in the hearts flutter boiling red
I feel something but I can't quite say why
Won't you comfort me baby, won't you cradle my head
You hold yourself so distant and careful
So I sing the charms of fading day
Cool winters night or just a springtime posing
But If you drop the cradle, I will do the same
And that way
You can be the child
Oh, once in a while
Oh mister, won't you help me
I won't let you down
"NO FEAR OF HELLFIRE"
NAP EYES
I follow you follow
I follow and fallen
You follow I follow
You follow and fallen
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Only comes around once
Once these days
Without no warning
Never warns me anymore
But what I want now
Is not a place
Sigh for a while
I try to find a way
For the way I feel about you
There’s something in the way
Our hearts are made today
From a polymer
From the blackest coal
And it’s like me
Oh it’s not like me
To be so good
No fear of hellfire
No fear of hellfire
Makes me feel good
I follow and fallen
You follow I follow
You follow and fallen
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Only comes around once
Once these days
Without no warning
Never warns me anymore
But what I want now

"MAKE SOMETHING"
NAP EYES
Make something that looks good
For someone because you could
Do it now and then
It doesn’t matter when
Stacks of paper are lining my desk
So many things I will never read
Yet by and large my only success
Comes from the things I do grudgingly
Dad tries to tell me about future happiness
But I really don’t know if I know what he means
But still I keep on trying
The snow that falls over a calm happiness
Went under a blood red moon, I see
The light of life turns shining and fading
To the distance mercilessly
One sickness of brain protein aggregation
One above regulated on Cogene
Call out, so
Come to me baby
Calm the synapse in my brain
These lives are full of misery and so much pain
But I’ll hold a candle up
Let the light wash away the stain
So many fires burning
For someone because you could
Do it now and then
It doesn’t matter when
Stacks of paper are lining my desk
So many things I will never read
Yet by and large my only success
Comes from the things I do grudgingly
Dad tries to tell me about future happiness
But I really don’t know if I know what he means
But still I keep on trying
The snow that falls over a calm happiness
Went under a blood red moon, I see
The light of life turns shining and fading
To the distance mercilessly
One sickness of brain protein aggregation
One above regulated on Cogene
Call out, so
Come to me baby
Calm the synapse in my brain
These lives are full of misery and so much pain
But I’ll hold a candle up
Let the light wash away the stain
So many fires burning
Shitty colors painted
On the palette I was painting from
Miles waits for hours waiting like I waited
The passionate voice
Calling him from the next room
It’s the passionate choice
He could never say yes to
Because the lovers voice
Is like the vein depending
The lovers voice
Is like the vein returning
Make something that looks good
For someone because you could
Do it now and then
It doesn’t matter when

Today was one where, lost in thought
I really feel I am
Losing not an ounce of what
You see in me, my lamb
I really feel I am
Losing not an ounce of what
You see in me, my lamb
If you're not with me tomorrow
That would be the worst
I'm glad I dream of what I dream of
Today a thing was burst
That would be the worst
I'm glad I dream of what I dream of
Today a thing was burst

And living, I must work
To make our lives here justified
And not let trouble lurk
And living, I must work
To make our lives here justified
And not let trouble lurk
Instead of seeing monkeys biting
I lay on the ground
While my hectic travelling partner
Wandered all around

So only hold me, hold me

I just need an evening
With someone nice to hide me

"LAY AND LOVE"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
From what I've seen, you're magnificent
You fight evil with all you do
Your every act is spectacular
It makes me lay here and love you
You fight evil with all you do
Your every act is spectacular
It makes me lay here and love you
From what I hear, you are generous
You make sunshine and glory too
When you walk in things go luminous
It makes me lay here and love you
You make sunshine and glory too
When you walk in things go luminous
It makes me lay here and love you
From what I know, you're terrified
You have mistrust running through you
Your smile is hiding something hurtful
It makes me lay here and love you
You have mistrust running through you
Your smile is hiding something hurtful
It makes me lay here and love you
It makes me lay here and love you
I'm filled with violet and red and blue
I've got a feeling from what I do
That you might lay there and love me too
I'm filled with violet and red and blue
I've got a feeling from what I do
That you might lay there and love me too
"CURSED SLEEP"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
I slept sweetly unpretending
That the night was always ending
She breathes lightly right next to me
And I dreamed of her inside of me
That the night was always ending
She breathes lightly right next to me
And I dreamed of her inside of me
And in my dream she sang so sweetly
A melody I hope to sing
So enslaved by her sweet wonder
It cut my legs and? hunger
A melody I hope to sing
So enslaved by her sweet wonder
It cut my legs and? hunger
She sang my name and so engulfed
And I cried and felt my legs fail
In her arms I trembled electric
And she led me and she held me
And I cried and felt my legs fail
In her arms I trembled electric
And she led me and she held me
Then waking she was older still
And holds my love against it's will
In spell cast with her palms extended
Cursed love is never ended
And holds my love against it's will
In spell cast with her palms extended
Cursed love is never ended
Cursed eyes are never closing
Cursed arms are never closing
Cursed children never rising
Cursed me never despising
Cursed arms are never closing
Cursed children never rising
Cursed me never despising
Oh I am loving always holding
Epic song it tells of how
Of she and I are living now
Epic song it tells of how
Of she and I are living now
"WAI"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
The lameness of an unborn child
The tidiness of cry
The only way I'm leaving here
Is curling up and die
The way our shelter moves above
Controlled by just my hand
Insures the death you're dreaming of
The drowning down of man
O love, O love, O careless love
I only want to lay with you
My love, my love, my careful love
I've found the hard way love is true
And always love the smiling one
And rounding out will come
With bitter bile and heartless fun
And consciousness made numb
And fearful hate that's steming out
From fear and only fear
Has made your inner croco shout
And bring his victims here
O love, O love, O careless love
I only want to lay with you
My love, my love, my careful love
I've found the hard way love is true
The tidiness of cry
The only way I'm leaving here
Is curling up and die
The way our shelter moves above
Controlled by just my hand
Insures the death you're dreaming of

When the numbers get so high
Of the dead flying through the sky
O, I don't know why
Love comes to me
Love comes to me
Of the dead flying through the sky
O, I don't know why
Love comes to me
Love comes to me
When your mouth is laying ope
Head knocked back you don't cope
You're out of rings and flowers and soap
Love comes to me
Love comes to me
Head knocked back you don't cope
You're out of rings and flowers and soap
Love comes to me
Love comes to me
Love comes to me
Love comes and all
It's my hands, my heart, my lips
And that is all
Love comes and all
It's my hands, my heart, my lips
And that is all
When the fever hits on your forehead
And trusive mice chew up your bed
And you call on God and God is dead
Love comes to you
Love comes to you
And trusive mice chew up your bed
And you call on God and God is dead
Love comes to you
Love comes to you
O, sugar won't you be my only
I'm a hard-hearted honey-pot hungry shepherd
And I'm longing to be born for you, that's her
I'm a hard-hearted honey-pot hungry shepherd
And I'm longing to be born for you, that's her
Love comes to you
Love comes and all
It's your hands, your heart, your lip
And that is all

It's your hands, your heart, your lip
And that is all
In the night time when you feel me
And the backs of your knees conceal me
And your eyeballs unreal me
Love comes to me

"I CAME TO HEAR THE MUSIC"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
I came to hear the music
I came to hear the sound
The music, God knows it brings me down
A long, long road
From now to then
I know your song, sing it again
I came to hear the sound
The music, God knows it brings me down
A long, long road
From now to then
I know your song, sing it again
'Cause there's so many things I don't believe I understand
How the days turn into weeks, turn into months
The years become a moment in the ever-changing sand
Did God make time to keep it all from happening at once?
All at once...
How the days turn into weeks, turn into months
The years become a moment in the ever-changing sand
Did God make time to keep it all from happening at once?
All at once...
I came to love the music before I came to be
To know the music before it came to me
A long, long time ago, I don't know when
We sang a song
Along with the wind
To know the music before it came to me
A long, long time ago, I don't know when
We sang a song
Along with the wind
And there's so many things I don't believe I'll understand
Why the days turn into weeks, turn into months
And the years become a moment in the ever-changing sand
Yes, God made time to keep it all from happening at once
All at once...
Why the days turn into weeks, turn into months
And the years become a moment in the ever-changing sand
Yes, God made time to keep it all from happening at once
All at once...
I came to be the music.

So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others.
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers.
Life is like the seasons,
After winter comes the spring.
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings.
But so are many others.
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers.
Life is like the seasons,
After winter comes the spring.
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings.
I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'.
So even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'.
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you.
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true.
That life is meant for livin'.
So even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'.
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you.
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true.
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps running in cycles.
First there's laughter, then those tears.
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps running in cycles.
First there's laughter, then those tears.
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kind of tired.
My gal just up and left last week
And Friday I got fired.
You know, it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now.
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
But please, just don't ask me how.

"A HARD WAY TO GO"
SAVOY BROWN
Ain't got time for doubts or fears
Ain't got time for shallow tears
Ain't got time to bare my soul
Because I still got a hard way to go
Ain't got time for shallow tears
Ain't got time to bare my soul
Because I still got a hard way to go
Said that you got a losing hand
Ain't no point in you raising sand
Ain't got time to bare your soul
Because I still got a hard way to go
Ain't no point in you raising sand
Ain't got time to bare your soul
Because I still got a hard way to go
And it's a crying shame
That you can't lay the blame
On anybody else but yourself
That you can't lay the blame
On anybody else but yourself
Wish that you had my sympathy
You ain't got no hold on me
And my heart is getting cold
And I still got a hard way to go
You ain't got no hold on me
And my heart is getting cold
And I still got a hard way to go
And it's a crying shame
That you can't lay the blame
On anybody else but yourself
That you can't lay the blame
On anybody else but yourself
And I still got a hard way to go

(JOAN SALVAT PAPASSEIT)
(JOAN SALVAT PAPASSEIT)
ENRIC CASASSES I PASCAL COMELADE
Sense el ressò del dring i el brill de l'or malvat
voldria anar pel món
com el món no en té cura:
que trobés pel camí la noia jove i bruna
i la pogués besar,
-l' altra després de l'una-
abans una tonada i després un bell cant;
que en arribar al lloc on m'abrusés la set
trobés el càntir fresc
i amb el càntir l'abraç de la més joguinera;
i que en pujar trescant per la nova drecera
encara em fes adéu:
i jo li llançaria un llessamí per festa
per si no ens vèiem més
-que encara que besés a un altre caminant,
pogués jo anar pel món
sense el ressò del dring i el brill malvat de l'or.
"I'M TIRED"
SAVOY BROWN
I'm tired of being a fool
And my mind going from hot to cool
And trying to conform to others ideas
And someone else's rules
And my mind going from hot to cool
And trying to conform to others ideas
And someone else's rules
The life I'm living ain't mine
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm living in
And I ain't gonna toe the line
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm living in
And I ain't gonna toe the line
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me
You'll have the blues not me
"PLUS ULTRA" (JACINT VERDAGUER)
ENRIC CASASSES I PASCAL COMELADE
Plus Ultra
Estello, fai-te clara
car cerque moun camin
Allà dellà de l’espai
he vist somriure una estrella
perduda en lo camp del cel
com espiga en temps de sega,
com al pregon de l’afrau
una efímera lluerna.
– Estrelleta- jo li he dit -,
de la mar cerúlea gemma,
de les flors de l’alt verger
seies tu la darrera?
– No só la darrera, no,
no só més que una llanterna
de la porta del jardí
que creies tu la frontera.
És sols lo començament,
lo que prenies per terme.
L’Univers és infinit,
pertot acaba i comença
i ençà, enllà, amunt i avall,
la immensitat és oberta,
i aon tu veus lo desert
eixams de mons formiguegen.
Dels camins de l’infinit
són los mons la polsinera,
que puja i baixa a sos peus
quan Jehovà s’hi passeja.

"TIME TO BE CLEAR"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
It's time to be clear
Got news of his passing
And I'm stuck, singing here.
I want to peel the wallpaper and swing from chandelier
Something to show that I know
It's time to be clear
Got news of his passing
And I'm stuck, singing here.
I want to peel the wallpaper and swing from chandelier
Something to show that I know
It's time to be clear
I can handle what's given
I can make mystery mine
And sing it with feeling, with rythm and rhyme
And make you all marvel that this is your time and holler
"It's time to be clear"
I can make mystery mine
And sing it with feeling, with rythm and rhyme
And make you all marvel that this is your time and holler
"It's time to be clear"
And stop all the moaning and bemoaning of fate
God isn't listening or else it's too late
This is your song and your song it is great
We're singing "it's time to be clear"
Time to be clear
And leave our old worlds
And build new stories here
Lover oh lover please buy me a beer
And bring all your enemies here
God isn't listening or else it's too late
This is your song and your song it is great
We're singing "it's time to be clear"
Time to be clear
And leave our old worlds
And build new stories here
Lover oh lover please buy me a beer
And bring all your enemies here

"BROTHER WARRIOR"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
(versió de la cançó de Kate Wolf)
Gentle warrior
With your heart like gold and a rainbow in your eyes
Brave companion
Do you see a world shining in the sky?
With your body dancing like an arrow
Spreading joy beneath your feet
And your hands they wave like tall grass
In the wind as you speak
With your heart like gold and a rainbow in your eyes
Brave companion
Do you see a world shining in the sky?
With your body dancing like an arrow
Spreading joy beneath your feet
And your hands they wave like tall grass
In the wind as you speak
With the shyness of a small child
And the wisdom of a saint
I tell ya now
There is no reason to be afraid
And the wisdom of a saint
I tell ya now
There is no reason to be afraid
Brother warrior
There are none of us who walk this path alone
Spirit healer is the only life that we have ever known
I see your smile in the sunlight
I hear your song in the rain
And I hold you here inside me…
There are none of us who walk this path alone
Spirit healer is the only life that we have ever known
I see your smile in the sunlight
I hear your song in the rain
And I hold you here inside me…

"RICH WIFE FULL OF HAPPINESS"
BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY
All and all is one thing today
One good effort made on its way
To take in a love and pass on a feeling
Of heart in chest slowly unpeeling
One good effort made on its way
To take in a love and pass on a feeling
Of heart in chest slowly unpeeling
Lilly can take it with a smile and not a frown
In the room where she lives blessed I guess
She wears my favor and shows it around
And in doing so I too get blessed
In the room where she lives blessed I guess
She wears my favor and shows it around
And in doing so I too get blessed
Rules explode and we call her mine
And she has my baby and things are fine
She can't hold her eyes still or her voice
The way nooses hold necks still in excellent poise
And she has my baby and things are fine
She can't hold her eyes still or her voice
The way nooses hold necks still in excellent poise
Lilly can take it with a smile and not a frown
In the room where she lives blessed I guess
She wears my favor and shows it around
And in doing so I too get blessed
In the room where she lives blessed I guess
She wears my favor and shows it around
And in doing so I too get blessed
Jug holds a gallon and you hold my arm
And I hold a million in bottle and yarn
And gem isn't sacred when mother has breathed
You know, you told me that
And I hold a million in bottle and yarn
And gem isn't sacred when mother has breathed
You know, you told me that
A shark and a dog, now you're laughing
The dog licks the shark dry in your photographing
And I lick you dry until you are laughing
My finger is in your behind
The dog licks the shark dry in your photographing
And I lick you dry until you are laughing
My finger is in your behind
I woke up fat and almost unhappy
But the bigger the laugh the bigger the belly
And I bellow out and the whole bed it shakes
And you smile at my laugh as it rocks you awake
But the bigger the laugh the bigger the belly
And I bellow out and the whole bed it shakes
And you smile at my laugh as it rocks you awake

"APOCALYPSE, NO!"
WILL OLDHAM
We dined in the breezeway
And met later in the carport for drinks
We rationed out the pills
Splitting evenly the blues and the pinks
We didn't really split the blues
I only mean that's what he thinks
He's got the mother lode this time
Why, o why are best friends such finks ?
We met on the causeway
Unloading all our grievances there
He pat me on the shoulder
And I playfully ruffled his hair
Then brought him to the waterline
And constrained him while he struggled for air
Then I pulled him back and kissed
And we both went arm in arm to the fair
And met later in the carport for drinks
We rationed out the pills
Splitting evenly the blues and the pinks
We didn't really split the blues
I only mean that's what he thinks
He's got the mother lode this time
Why, o why are best friends such finks ?
