"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
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"
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

"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 the shyness of a small child
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…

"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
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
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
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
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
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
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

"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

"FALL AND RAISE IT ON"
RIAN MURPHY & WILL OLDHAM



I went down to the ba hoo
Where the wed water flow
And as the sill was glad
The fellow buddled uh
Way de fade uh guh
Way de fade uh guh o
sell me a peach o' the ba ho
Ate for the sake of all
And wasted for the love of
Olive an an a'
Waig an as' a tode
Waig an as' a tode o
fame I'd a said all a ba hoo
Fame all a nod is a game
A fagen horror
And a low berra don
To fall and raise it on
To fall and raise it on o
