Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow, Moon shadow, moon shadow. MORRIS MAN’S LAMENT As I walked by the brewery one morning so fair To view the still vats and to sniff the malt air I spied an old morris man singing this song Oh bury me here ‘cause me gallup has gone Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks No more in the pubs I’ll be seen Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green Now “Bells have turned green” is a pub I’ve heard tell Where morris men go when they don’t go to hell Where the beer is so pretty and the girls are all free They take you to heaven and don’t ask a fee Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks No more in the pubs I’ll be seen Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green Where it always rains when you dance “Shepherd’s hey” And you don’t need a squire to show you the way And the bagman is there buying drinks by the score And everyone say’s good let’s have twenty more Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks No more in the pubs I’ll be seen Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green My time has been good boys I’ve had a fair part And from your kind company I sadly do part These words slowly dropped from his lips and his jaw As he sank down contented in booze on the floor Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks No more in the pubs I’ll be seen Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green A MOTHER’S LAMENT A muvver was washing ‘er baby one night The youngest of ten and a delicate mite The muvver was poor and the baby was thin It was nought but an skelington covered with skin The muvver turned round , picked the soap off the rack She was only a moment but when she looked back ‘Er baby had gorn and in anguish she cried “Oh where has my baby gorn ?” the angels replied ... Oh your baby has gorn down the plug ‘ole Your baby ‘as gorn down the plug The poor little thing was so skinny and thin It should ‘ave been washed in a jug (in a jug) Oh your baby is perfectly ‘appy It won’t need a barf no more It’s a muckin’ abaht wiv the angels above Not lorst but gone before MOVING ON I'm gonna leave this place tomorrow I'm gonna leave this town behind I'll be gone before the morning I'll be outta sight and outta mind That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on I've been hanging round too long It's time I was moving on
And I'm sick of the same old things I'm getting bored with the same old places Everybody starts to look the same That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on I've been hanging round too long It's time I was moving on I was trying to settle down here But my feet just a won't stay still And I felt that the grass is greener On the other side of the hill That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on I've been hanging round too long It's time I was moving on I'm gonna leave this town tomorrow I'm gonna leave this place behind You can bet your bottom dollar All my troubles will be far behind That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on I've been hanging round too long It's time I was moving on
It's time I was moving on I've been hanging round too long It's time I was moving on MR. TAMBOURINE MAN Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to. Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you. Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand, But still not sleeping. My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet. I have no one to meet, and the ancient, empty street's Too dead for dreaming. Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to. Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you. Take me for a trip upon your magic whirling ship. My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Onto my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way. I promise to go under it.
Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you. Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escaping on the run, But for the sky, there are no fences facing. And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind. I wouldn't play it any mind, It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.
Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you. Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind. Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free. Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves. Let me forget about today until tomorrow. Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to. Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you. MRS FANSHAW When Mrs. Fanshaw fantasised, things often got romanticised, There was for those who liked a rock cake, no bolder cook, by grave mistake, She put cement dust in the spice, and Fanshaw said “It's very nice”, And ground his teeth and coughed and sighed, and very soon thereafter , died. Now though England's a pagan land, some citizens still make a stand, While Fanshaw's faith was lapsed RC, his wife was Christmas C of E, Yet down the years she had forgot ,what an arse he was, And what funerary pomps were meet, and which were poison for her sweet. A representative of Rome was summoned quickly to the home, To explain the Catholic rites, and wrongs, and ways, and mays, and mights, Father Ignatius (29), not only godly, but divine, Within minutes of the time he met her she found love at first sight in a buretta. Unchecked by ultra monstrance guilt, her love ran wild and at full tilt, From that day forth she planned, full spate, to swallow up this celibate The very night her spouse chose to knock off in, she danced with glee upon his coffin, And by his box was not a dirge she sang, but praises for the clergy. With an ardour mostly found in latins, Mrs F. turned up at Mass, and matins, And from the second row of pews, tried to communicate her views. Rattling her rosary in her best clothes and hosiery, With sad unconsummated sighs, Mrs.F. unfrocked him with her eyes. Her fantasies began to grow, that she could die she loved him so, What a man so strong and chaste, what a chest, oh what a waste, If he could only leave his pedestal and clasp her close, or even better still, Inflamed with lust and satyriasis, chase her naked round the diocese. But Mrs. Fanshaw’s guile and gaiety, ‘though it might have laid the laity, Sometimes coy, sometimes salacious, never did ignite Ignatius. Her passions always animated, blew up one Sunday when he stated, “Today I have this news to dish up, I'm leaving to become a bishop” Mrs. Fanshaw blenched, Mrs. Fanshaw paled, Mrs. Fanshaw cried, Mrs. Fanshaw wailed, My love won’t die, my love won’t cease, how can you leave the diocese? She didn’t even get a kick from thinking of his bishopric, A fallacy she said, that’s it, and threw a most unpleasant fit. They saw her raise her head and shake it, no truth had ever seemed so naked Since Adam's first defoliation, no Budda, or other holy Asian Could calm the rage that boiled up in her breast now she was foiled, And voicing vulgar unromanticals, she kicked him soundly in the canticles. The congregation rose in wrath, to avenge this insult to the cloth, Not lacking for a precedent, to burn her at the stake they went. Hymn books and Psalters soon caught fire, they threw her screaming on the pyre, And she remained though quickly slaked, for ever afterwards half baked. MRS.

Only my heartbreak makes me feel like a fool You led me on just to bring me down and I felt so low So if the stars are out tonight I’ll get up and go On my way I walked through town Stopped at your house but you weren't around The lights were on to ward off thieves but you stayed out all night It's you who stole my heart when you hadn't any right It's my town but I've got to leave it And head south to where the climate is kind And if the time comes when I'm feeling better I'll be back with the birds in the spring Paid my fare and took the train I'd soon forget but now I feel the pain Though I tried to think of better days lying in my berth I pondered revenge for what it was worth It's my town but I've got to leave it And head south to where the climate is kind And if the time comes when I'm feeling better I'll be back with the birds in the spring I NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD I need someone’s hand to lead me through the night I need someone’s arms to hold squeeze and squeeze me tight Now when the night begins I’ve had enough BecauseI need your love so bad I need some lips to feel next to mine I need someone to stand up and tell me when I’m lying But when the lights are low and it’s time to go That’s when I need your love so bad So why don’t you give it up and bring it home to me Or write it on a piece of paper baby so it can be read to me Tell me that you love me and stop driving me mad Because I, I need your love so bad I need your soft voice to talk to me at night I don’t want you to worry baby I know we can make everything all right Listen to my plea baby bring it to me Because I need your love so bad NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN She broke down and left me again Made me see where I'd been Been down one time been down two times Never going back again You don't know what it means to win Come down and see me again Been down one time been down two times Never going back again NEW KID IN TOWN There’s talk on the street, it sounds so familiar Great expectations, everybody’s watchin’ you People you meet they all seem to know you Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new Johnny come lately, the new kid in town Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down You look in her eyes, they music begins to play Hopeless romantics here we go again But after a while you’re looking the other way It’s those restless hearts that never mend Johnny come lately, the new kid in town Will she still love you, when you’re not around There’s so many things you should have told her But night after night you’re willing to hold her, Just hold her tears on your shoulder

When one day she said to me Virgil quick come see There goes the Robert E. Lee Now, I don't mind them chopping wood And I don't care if their money's no good Just take what you need and leave the rest But they should never have taken the very best The night they drove old Dixie down And all the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singing They went na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
I'm a working man And like my brother before me I took the rebel stand Well, he was just eighteen, proud and brave But a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat The night they drove old Dixie down And all the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singing They went na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Letters I've written never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you, yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Gazing at people, some hand in hand Just what I'm going through, they can't understand Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be, you'll be in the end And I love you, yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Nights in white satin never reaching the end Letters I've written never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you, yes, I love you Oh, how I love you NO MATTER WHAT No matter what you are I will always be with you Doesn’t matter what you do girl Ooh girl with you No matter what you do I will always be around Won’t you tell me what you’ve found girl Ooh girl won’t you Knock down the old grey wall Be a part of it all Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do If you would give me all I would give it to you

The bottle stands forlorne, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by, don't know the reason why How could they know just what that message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay we turned night into day But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in the main street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up two down No milk today, my love is gone away The bottle stands forlorne, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by, don't know the reason why As music played the faster we did dance We felt both in at once the start of our romance How could they know just what that message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen No milk today, my love is gone away The bottle stands forlorne, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by, don't know the reason why But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in the main street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up two down NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS I can wait another day until I call you You’ve only got my heart on a string And everything a flutter

I’ve burned in the sunshine, been drowned in the pouring rain Had too many lovers and not too much love I’ve been tried and convicted of things I’m not guilty of I was locked in a prison, ‘till you came and set me free So how can you say you’re no good for me Now that the magic has gone You just wanna walk away, nothing left to say Anyway, now that the magic has gone There’s no sense in holding on, baby now Now that the magic has gone
It can smile like an angel while it treats you just like a fool It captures and haunts you until you give in And it stacks the dice against you in a game you never can win Just when I was thinking lady luck was you and me You tell me it’s over, it’s time for breaking free Now that the magic has gone You just wanna walk away, nothing left to say Anyway, now that the magic has gone There’s no sense in holding on, baby now Now that the magic has gone
I might as well let go But my heart keeps asking how to
Some say love’s a blessing, but for me it’s just a curse Now that the magic has gone You just wanna walk away, nothing left to say Anyway, now that the magic has gone There’s no sense in holding on, baby now Now that the magic has gone

at the door Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire Old Johnson rushed to the port wine tub, and gave it a few hard knocks Then he took off his pantaloons, likewise his shoes and socks Hold on said Snooks if you want to wash your feet, there’s a drop of old ale right there Don’t put your trotters in the port wine tub, when we’ve got some old stale beer And there was Brown upside down, mopping up the whisky on the floor Booze booze the firemen cried, as they came knocking at the door Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire Just then there was a terrible crash, and half the bloody roof gave way We got soaked with the firemen’s hose, but still we were quite gay Well we got some sacks and some old tin tacks, and bunged ourselves inside And we kept on drinking good old scotch ‘till we were bleary eyed And there was Brown upside down, mopping up the whisky on the floor Booze booze the firemen cried, as they came knocking at the door Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire THE OLDEST SWINGER When you tap up a bird in the folk club bar Drive her home in your comfy car Find you went to school with her ma and pa You’re the oldest swinger in town When you avoid a mirror by the light of the day Think it looks distinguished when your hair turns grey Zip up your Wranglers and your belly’s in the way You’re the oldest swinger in town There he goes with his wire wheels Easy Rider specs and his nine inch heels He never shows how old he feels Cause he’s the oldest swinger in town When you blow-wave your hair twice a week The girls don’t understand a word you speak You walk in the disco and they offer you their seat You’re the oldest swinger in town When you prefer beer to Bacardi and coke Suffer next morning from the fags you smoke When you’d have another dance but you’re scared of a stroke You’re the oldest swinger in town There he goes with his wire wheels Easy Rider specs and his nine inch heels He never shows how old he feels Cause he’s the oldest swinger in town When sex becomes a monthly chore When you wonder how you every managed on the floor When sometimes you even forget what it’s for You’re the oldest swinger in town And when you’re down to the last of your slim-jim ties When the president of the Bill Haley Fan Club dies When you’ve got suitcases instead of bags under your eyes You’re the oldest swinger in town ON THE BORDER The fishing boats go out across the evening water Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border The winds wipe up the waves so loud The ghost moon sails amongst the clouds And turns the rifles into silver on the border
From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming The torches flare up in the night The hand that sets the farms alight Has spread the word to those who’re waiting on the border
Still you never see the change from day to day No one sees the customs slip away
I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp glow I thought I saw down in the street The spirit of the century Telling us that we’re standing on the border
It’s just the patterns that remain an empty shell But there’s a strangeness in the air You feel it too well The fishing boats go out across the evening water Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border The winds wipe up the waves so loud The ghost moon sails amongst the clouds And turns the rifles into silver on the border
There's work to do before we say goodbye And the tears which welled beneath his sombre shroud And hurt with the pain of somebody who knows He can never be like the sort of a rose Whose beauty remains even though the bloom goes Oh one more chance
Lord you know more mortal than we know And who can see him turning to the face of love And hear him pleading with her don’t let it die And I see her leaning on my shoulder to cry Oh one more chance And is it too late to change the way we're bound to go Is it too late for surely one of us must know ONE MORE NIGHT I've been trying oh so long to let you know Let you know know how I feel So if I stumble and if I fall just hold me back So I can beat you see Please just give me one more night Give me that one more night Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever Please just give me one more night Give me that one more night Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever I've been sitting here so long just wasting time Just staring at the phone And I was wondering should I call you then I thought Well maybe you're not alone Please just give me one more night Give me that one more night Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever Please just give me one more night Give me that one more night Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever Just give me one more night Give me that one more night Oh one more night cause I can't wait for ever Please just give me one more night Give me that one more night Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever Like a river to the sea I will always be with you And if you sail away I will follow you To give me one more night Just give me that one more night One more night cause I can't wait forever
And I know it's only words But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here And maybe we both can love I'll give you just one more night Give me that one more night Just one more night cause I can't wait for ever Just give me one more night Give me that one more night Just one more night cause I can't wait forever ONE OF THESE NIGHTS One of these nights one of these crazy old nights We’re gonna find out pretty mama what turns on your lights The full moon is calling the fever is high And the wicked wind whispers and moans You’ve got your demons you’ve got desires Well I’ve got a few of my own Ooh someone to be kind to In between the dark and the light Ooh coming right behind you Swear I’m gonna find you one of these nights One of these dreams one of these lost and lonely dreams now We’re gonna find one girl one that really screams I’ve been searching for the daughter of the devil himself I’ve been searching for an angel in white I’ve been waiting for a woman who’s a little of both And I can feel her but she’s nowhere in sight Ooh loneliness will blind you In between the wrong and the right Ooh coming right behind you Swear I’m gonna find you one of these nights One of these nights In between the dark and the light Coming right behind you Swear I’m gonna find you Get you baby one of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights One of these nights ONLY LOVE Some say a heart is just like a wheel When you bend it you can’t mend it And my love for you is like a sinking ship And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean They say that death is a tragedy It comes once and then it’s over But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss ‘Cause what’s the use of living with no true lover When harm is done no love can be won I know it happens frequently What I can’t understand and please God hold my hand Is why it should happen to me And it’s only love and it’s only love That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
You Catholic girls start much too late But sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away But they never told you the price that you’d pay For things that you might have done For only the good die young that’s what I said Only the good die young, only the good die young You might have heard that I run with a dangerous crowd We ain’t too pretty, we ain’t too proud We might be laughing a bit too loud But that never hurt no one So come on Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal, I’ll throw you the line The stained glass curtain you’re hiding behind Never lets in the sun Only the good die young I tell you Only the good die young I tell you You got a nice white dress and a party at your confirmation You got a brand new soul and a cross of gold But Virginia they didn’t give you quite enough information You didn’t count on me when you were counting on your rosary And they say there’s a heaven for those who will wait Some say it’s better but I say it ain’t I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun You know that only the good die young, I tell yer You know that only the good die young, I tell yer You said your mother told you all that I could give you Was a reputation Oh she never cared for me But does she ever say a prayer for me Ooh woh woh Come out, come out, come out Virginia don’t let me wait You Catholic girls start too late But sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one
You know that only the good die young only the good die young Only the good die young, only the good die young
You say you don’t feel clean You don’t have an answer but baby don’t ask me I don’t give a darn in hell, out behind the barn Oh out behind the barn, I’m chewing on a piece of hay I’m up to my knees in cow shit, I’m shovelling my blues away You say I was your leader, you say I turned you on You’re starting to suspect now, it was all a con I don’t give a darn in hell, out behind the barn
I’m up my knees in cow shit, I’m shovelling my blues away You say I owe you something, you ask me for my plan Just who were you expecting, Jesus Zimmerman I don’t give a darn in hell, out behind the barn

Why don’t you listen to it sometimes I’ve wandered round the moors on many misguided tours Poor Emily and Charlotte pour their hearts out What did they know what could they know about love What do they know or any one know about love Over and over and over Baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head Over and over and over Baby baby baby what made you think I need it maybe I’m going up here, rolling up over I have to write rock and roll just to keep body and soul together For what do I know or anyone know about love

As Heaven that you take me to Who needs Paradise I’d rather have you They say Paradise is up in the stars But I needn’t sigh because it’s so far ‘Cause I know it’s worth a Heaven on Earth For me where you are The look from your eyes the touch from your hand And I seem to fly to some other land When you are around my heart always pounds Just like a brass band If Paradise is half as nice As Heaven that you take me to Who needs Paradise I’d rather have you La la la la, la la la la La la la la, la la la La la la la la, la la la la la
As Heaven that you take me to Who needs Paradise I’d rather have you Oh yes I’d rather have you
La la la la, la la la La la la la la, la la la la la
But I needn’t sigh because it’s so far ‘Cause I know it’s worth a Heaven on Earth For me where you are The look from your eyes the touch from your hand And I seem to fly to some other land When you are around my heart always pounds Just like a brass band Yüklə 1,87 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
