JOHN OF DREAMS
When midnight sings the people homeward tread
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed
Home is the rover his journey over
Yield up the night time to old John o'dreams
Yield up the night time to old John o'dreams
Across the hill the sun has gone astray
Tomorrow’s cares are many dreams away
The stars are flying your candle's dying
Yield up the darkness to old John o'dreams
Yield up the darkness to old John o'dreams
Both man and master in the night are one
All things are equal when the day is done
The prince and the ploughman the slave and the freeman
All find their comfort in old John o'dreams
All find their comfort in old John o'dreams
Now as you sleep the dreams come winging clear
The hawks of morning cannot harm you here
Sleep is your river float on forever
And for your boatman choose old John o'dreams
And for your boatman choose old John o'dreams
JOHNNY B GOODE
Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Back up in the woods amongst the evergreens
In an old log cabin made of earth and wood
There lived a country boy name of Johnny B Goode
Who never ever learned to read and write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell
Oh go, go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go, go,
Johnny B Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
Old engineers would say, sitting in the shade
Strumming with the music that the drivers made
People passing by the would stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy could play
Oh go, go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go, go,
Johnny B Goode
Well his mother told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big rock band
All kinds of people’ll come from miles around
To hear you play your guitar ‘till the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights saying
Johnny B Goode tonight
Oh go, go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go, go,
Johnny B Goode
JOHNNY COME GOOD
Down amongst the harlots where the punters come,
To the rhythm of the falling and the rising bum,
And a flaccid phallus droops now, where a horn once stood,
Lived a country boy called Johnny come good,
Who was blessed with the world's most enormous wick,
It was six feet long, and it was two feet thick.
Oh come, come Johnny come come come,
Come Johnny, come come come,
Come Johnny, come come come,
Come Johnny come come come, Johnny come good.
He would carry his great tool in a pick-up truck,
And travel fifty miles or more just for a friendly conversation,
Experienced whores would cry out when he had them splayed,
Gasping to recover from each thrust he made,
Sometimes he would split them right from arse to tit,
Because they couldn't take the length or width of it.
Oh come, come Johnny come come come,
Come Johnny, come come come,
Come Johnny, come come come,
Come Johnny come come come, Johnny come good.
Along came a lady of the endless night,
Who challenged him to fuck her 'till the morning light,
He gave his wick a rub 'till it was yards around,
And in between her legs he went and ground and ground,
But this devious old harlot then let fly a fart,
That blew both of his balls and his prick apart.
Well bye bye bye,
Well bye bye bye bye,
Bye bye Johnny,
Johnny come good.

JOLLY BEGGARMAN
It’s of a jolly beggar man came tripping o’er the plain
He came unto a farmers door some lodgings for to gain
The farmer’s daughter she came down and viewed him cheek and chin
She said he is a handsome man I pray you let him in
We’ll go no more a roving a roving in the night
We’ll go no more a roving let the moon shine so bright
We’ll go no more a roving
He would not lie within the barn nor yet within the byre
But he would in the corner lie down by the kitchen fire
The beggar’s bed then it was made of good clean sheets and hay
And down besides the kitchen fire the jolly beggar lay
We’ll go no more a roving a roving in the night
We’ll go no more a roving let the moon shine so bright
We’ll go no more a roving
The farmer’s daughter she came down to bolt the kitchen door
And there she saw the beggar standing naked on the floor
He took the girl in both her arms and to the bed he ran
Kind Sir she said go easy now you’ll waken our good man
We’ll go no more a roving a roving in the night
We’ll go no more a roving let the moon shine so bright
We’ll go no more a roving
So now you are no beggar man you are some gentleman
For you have stole my maidenhead and I am quite undone
I am the lord I am the squire of beggars I be one
And beggars they are robbers all and you are quite undone
We’ll go no more a roving a roving in the night
We’ll go no more a roving let the moon shine so bright
We’ll go no more a roving

JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH
I was born in a cross fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it’s all right now
In fact it’s a gas
But it’s all right
I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash it’s a gas gas gas
I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
Well it’s all right now
In fact it’s a gas
But it’s all right
I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash it’s a gas gas gas
I was drowned I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it’s all right now
In fact it’s a gas
But it’s all right
I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash it’s a gas gas gas

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
JUST TO HAVE YOU BACK AGAIN
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free set me free
The finest years I ever knew
I s all the years I had with you
I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my own
I would give anything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
That won’t let you go
And taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And you don’t hear a word they say
I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my own
I would give anything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
That won’t let you go
And taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And you don’t hear a word they say
KEY TO THE HIGHWAY
I got the key to the highway
Yes all packed up and bound to go
I’m going to leave here running
‘Cause walking’s much too slow
I’m going down to the river
Yes I’m going to take my rocking chair
I’m going to have blues in trouble
I’m gonna rock away from here
I’m going down to the border
Yes, baby where in better know
You know I don’t do nothin’ here little girl
That would drive a good man away from home
Now give me one whole kiss baby
Yeah just before I go
,Cause I know it’s time little girl
I was back out on that road
Now when the man peeps over the mountain
You know I’ll be on my way
I’m going to walk walk this old highway
Just until the break of day
So long goodbye
Yes I have to say goodbye
I’m gonna walk walk this old highway
Just until the day I die
I got the key to the highway
Yes all packed up and bound to go
I’m going to leave here running
‘Cause walking’s much too slow
KILLER QUEEN
She keeps Moet and Chandon in a pretty cabinet
Let them eat cakes she says just like Marie Antoinette
Building a remedy for Kruschev and Kennedy
And in it signed an invitation you can’t decline
Caviar and cigarettes well versed in etiquette
Extraoardinarily nice she’s a killer queen
Gunpowder gelatine dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (anytime)
Ooh recommended at the Pru
Unsatiable appetite (wanna try ?)
To avoid complications she never kept the same address
In conversation she spoke just like a baroness
Made a mine in China the corporation bought her
But then again incidently she went about it with class
Perfume came right through here from Paris (naturally)
Because she couldn’t care less
Fastidious and precise she’s a killer queen
Gunpowder gelatine dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (anytime)
Drop of a hat she’s as elegant
Grateful as a prison camp
Momentarily out of action temporarily out of use
Absolutely grand
She’s out to get you she’s a killer queen
Gunpowder gelatine dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (anytime)
Ooh recommended at the Pru
Unsatiable appetite (wanna try ?)
KILLING FLOOR
I should have quit you a long time ago
I should have quit you babe a long time ago
I should have quit you and went on to Mexico
If I had a followed my first mind
If I had a followed my first mind
I’d been gone it’s my second time
I should have went home when my friend come from Mexico
I should have went home when my friend come from Mexico again
But now I’m fooling with you baby I’m down on this killin’ floor
God knows I should have been gone
God knows I should have been gone
And I wouldn’t been here down on the killin’ floor
KILLING ME SOFTLY
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song.
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy,
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
But he was there this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

LADY IN BLACK
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me for in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win
Ah ...
She asked me name my foe then I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or god
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemy
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
Ah ...
But she would not think of battle that reduces man to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men did counsel me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay
Ah ...
Oh Lady, lend your hand I cried or let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me, she said and filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers. Have no such misconception.
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away
Ah ...
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
My labour is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
Ah ...
And if one day she comes to you,
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
And say hello for me
Ah ...
LADY JANE
My sweet Lady Jane when will I see you again
Your servant am I and will humbly remain
Just hear this plea my love
On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane
My dear Lady Anne I’ve done what I can
I must take my leave for promised I am
This play is run my love
Your time has come my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane
Oh my sweet Marie I wait at your ease
The sands have run out for your lady and me
Wedlock is nigh my love
Her station is right my love
Life is secure with Lady Jane
My Lady Jane
