"THE THINGS WE DID AND DIDN'T DO"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS 

 All the things I knew I didn't know and didn't want to know
that you told me just to tell me later that you'd told me so
come flooding back to me now Come on Come flooding back to me now
All the things you said you'd never say and you said anyway
The things we did and didn't do The things we did and didn't do
come flooding back to me now

 

"PARADES GO BY"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS 

I'll linger here
Your ring upon my finger, dear
And sing till dawn
A song of you and me and what and why
For time is all
I have to keep
Between these walls
And half asleep
The days go by
A million little nights
And days go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind
I'll sit and stare
How could I venture anywhere?
And let the centuries fall where they may
But never die
For I have loved
And so I lost
The world above
Beyond the moss
The days go by
A million little nights
And days go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind
The days goes by
(Goes by)
Parades go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
(Parades go by)
Parades go by
Leave me behind

 

"I THINK I NEED A NEW HEART"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS

 
Time stands still
All I can feel is the time standing still
As you put down the keys
And say, "don't call me please"
While the radio plays
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
You've lied, too
But it's a sin that I
Can't tell the truth
'Cause it all comes out wrong
Unless I put it in a song
So the radio plays
I think I need a new heart
Just for you
I think I need a new heart
'Cause I always say, "I love you"
When I mean, "turn out the light"
And I say, "let's run away"
When I just mean, "stay the night"
But the words you want to hear
You will never hear from me
I'll never say "happy anniversary"
Never stay to say "happy anniversary"
So I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
I think I need a new heart, oh oh
Give me time

"ROSEMARY LANE"

BERT JANSCH 

 

When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the goodwill of my master and did I
Till a sailor came there one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery
He called for a candle to light him to bed
And likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head
To tie up his head as sailors will do
And he said my pretty Polly will you come too
Now this maid being young and foolish she thought it no harm
For to lie into bed to keep herself warm
And what was done there I will never disclose
But I wish that short night had been seven long years
Next morning this sailor so early arose
And into my apron three guineas did throw
Saying take this I will give and more I will do
If you'll be my Polly wherever I go
Now if it's a boy he will fight for the king
And if it's a girl she will wear a gold ring
She will wear a gold ring and a dress all aflame
And remember my service in Rosemary Lane
When I was in service in Rosemary Lane
I won the goodwill of my master and did I
Till a sailor came there one night to lay
And that was the beginning of my misery

 

 "TELL ME, WHAT IS TRUE LOVE"

BERT JANSCH

 Tell me, what is true love?
Tell me, how shall I know?
Shall there be a sign, like Autumn
That brings the Winter snow?
Well love is like a little boy
Building castles in the sand
And the higher he builds them
The longer they stand.
And if someone did shoot down
The white snowy dove
Then your heart is filled with sorrow
Like the pain of true love.


"GO YOUR WAY MY LOVE"

BERT JANSCH 

 Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass.
Walking homeward my mind is filled with pain,
Woe is me.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 And as I wander through the trees
Picking up the windy leaves,
Looking where you may be sleeping now,
I wanna die.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 As I sit mending your clothes
That you will never ever wear,
Looking daily for you I do prepare
But woe is me.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 Is there walking some far land
And have you gone to lend your hand,
And do you lie broken and dying now
I wanna die.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.

 Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass.
Oh woe.
Go your own way, my love,
Go your way, my love.
