END OF THE WORLD
Why does the sun go on shining

Why does the sea rush to the shore

Don’t they know its the end of the world

‘Cause you don’t love me anymore


Why do the birds go on singing

Why do the stars glow above

Don’t they know it’s the end of the world

It ended when I lost your love


I wake up every morning and I wonder

Why everything’s the same as it was

I can’t understand, no I can’t understand

How life goes on the way it does


Why does my heart go on beating

Why do these eyes of mine cry

Don’t they know it’s the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye


EVE OF DESTRUCTION
The eastern world it is exploding

Violence flaring, bullets loading

You're old enough to kill,

But not for voting

You don't believe in war

But what's that gun you're toting

And even the Jordan river has bodies floating
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction


Don't you understand what I'm trying to say

Can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today

If the button is pushed

There's no running away

There'll be no one to save

With the world in a grave

Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction


Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulating

I'm sitting here just contemplating

I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation

Handful of Senators don't pass legislation

When marches alone can't bring integration

When human respect is disintegrating

This whole crazy world is just too frustrating
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction


Think of all the hate there is in Red China

Then take a look around you to Salma, Alabama

Ah, you may leave here for four days in space

But when you return it's the same old place

The pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace

You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace

Hate you next-door neighbour, but don't forget to say grace
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction


Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE
Every breath you take, every move you make

Every bond you break, every step you take

I’ll be watching you
Every single day, every word you say

Every game you play, every night you stay

I’ll be watching you
Oh can’t you see, you belong to me

How my poor heart aches with every step you take


Every move you make, every vow you break

Every smile you fake, every claim you stake

I’ll be watching you
Since you’ve been gone, I’ve been lost without a trace

I dream at night, I can only see your face

I look around but it’s you I can’t replace

I feel so cold and long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby, please
Oh can’t you see, you belong to me

How my poor heart aches with every step you take


Every move you make, every vow you break

Every smile you fake, every claim you stake

I’ll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take

I’ll be watching you


EVERY LITTLE THING SHE DOES IS MAGIC
Though I’ve tried before to tell her

Of the feeling I have for her in my heart

Every time that I come near her

I just lose my heart as I’ve done from the start


Every little thing she does is magic

Every thing she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on


Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

It’s a big enough umbrella

But it’s always me that ends up getting wet


Every little thing she does is magic

Every thing she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day

And ask her if she’ll marry me in some old fashioned way

But my silent fears have gripped me long before I reach the phone

Long before my tongue has tripped me must I always be alone

Every little thing she does is magic

Every thing she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on


Every little thing she does is magic

Every thing she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on


Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Every little every little thing

Every little thing she does is magic

Ki oh ki oh ki oh ki oh ...


Every little thing she does is magic

Magic magic magic magic

Way oh way oh

EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY
If we can solve any problem why do we lose so many tears

I saw you go again when the leading man appeared

It’s always the same scene

Can’t you see we’ve got everything going on and on


Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you


Go on and go free baby you’re too close to see

I feel your body move it doesn’t mean that much to me

It’s always the same scene

Can’t you see we’ve got everything going on and on


Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you


It’s always the same scene

Can’t you see we’ve got everything going on and on


Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you


Go on and go free baby you’re too close to see

I feel your body move it doesn’t mean that much to me

It’s always the same scene

Can’t you see we’ve got everything going on and on


Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you



EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIEND
Trust in me I'll try to do

Everything to help you that I can

Broken wings can heal and mend again

Don't be afraid to cry your tears out loud

Everybody needs to have a friend
Show me now that I can give

Give to you the only love I have

When I see you're in misery

It makes me want to try and understand

Everybody needs a helping hand
It's only love that I can give

I'll give to you the only love I have

When I see you're so unhappy

It makes me want to try and understand

Everybody needs a helping hand
If everything should turn around

And it's me who feels so down and out

You could be the kind of company

To share the load and know how bad it feels

Everybody needs to have a friend
EVERY THING I DO I DO IT FOR YOU
Look into my eyes you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart search your soul

And when you find me there you’ll search no more


Don’t tell me it’s not worth trying for

You can’t tell me it’s not worth dying for

You know it’s true everything I do

I do it for you


Look into you heart you will find

There’s nothing there to hide

Take me as I am take my life

I would give it all I would sacrifice


Don’t tell me it’s not worth fighting for

I can’t help it there’s nothing I want more

You know it’s true

Everything I do I do it for you , oh yeah......


There’s no love like your love

And no other could give more love

There’s nowhere unless you’re there

All the time, all the way


Look in to your heartbreak

Yeah........

Oh yeah....
Oh you can’t tell me it’s not worth trying for

I can’t help it there’s nothing I want more


Yeah I would fight for you I’d lie for you

What do I for you yeah I die for you


You know it’s true everything I do

Oh... I do it for you


Excommunicate me
When I was young and they packed me off to school

And they taught me how not to play the game

I didn’t mind if they groomed me for success

Or if they said I was just a fool

So I left there in the morning with their god tucked underneath my arm

Their half-arsed smiles and the book of rules

And I asked this god a question and by way of firm reply

He said I’m not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays


So I told my old headmaster I’m twenty-one who cares

Before I’m through I’d like to say to say my prayers

I don’t believe you you have the whole damn thing all wrong

He’s not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays

Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school

And have all the bishops harmonise these lines


How d’you dare to tell me that I’m my father’s son

When that was just a natural man’s birth

I’d rather look around me compose a better song

‘Cause that’s the honest measure of my worth

In your pomp and all your glory you’re a poorer man than me

As you lick the boots of death born out of fear oh ho ho ho


When I was young and they packed me off to school

And they taught me how not to play the game

I didn’t mind if they groomed me for success

Or if they said that I was just a fool

So I left there in the morning with their god under my arm

Their half-arsed smiles and the book of rules


Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school

And have all the bishops harmonise these lines


When I was young and they packed me off to school

And they taught me how not to play the game

I didn’t mind if they groomed me for success

Or if they said I was just a fool

So I told my old headmaster I’m twenty-one who cares

Before I’m through I’d like to say to say my prayers

Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school

And have all the bishops harmonise these lines

I don’t believe you you have the whole damn thing all wrong

He’s not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays


FINAL COUNTDOWN
We're leaving together

But still it's farewell

And maybe we'll come back

To Earth who can tell

I guess there is no one to blame

We're leaving ground

Will things ever be the same again
It's the final countdown
We're heading for Venus

And still we stand tall

Cause maybe they've seen us

And welcome us all

With so many light years to go

And things to be found

I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown

The final countdown

The final countdown
The final countdown

It's the final countdown

The final countdown

The final countdown


It's the final countdown

We're leaving together

The final countdown

Where love is to serve

It's the final countdown
It's the final countdown
THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST
I would have given you all of my heart

But there's someone who's torn it apart

And she's taken almost all that I've got

But if you want I'll try to love again

Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest,

Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

When it comes to loving me she's the worst

But when it comes to being loved she's the first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest,

Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

When it comes to loving me she's the worst

But when it comes to being loved she's the first


I still want you by my side

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

'Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try

And if you want I'll try to love again

Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest,

Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

When it comes to loving me she's the worst

But when it comes to being loved she's the first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest,

Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

When it comes to loving me she's the worst

But when it comes to being loved she's the first



FIRST SONG
I’ve written words to say I’m leaving

The words express the pain

Old songs lose young meanings

But the new ones they gain

From changes that I’ve been through

Or new ones I’m coming to

You were my first song

And I still ...


Well sure I still get feelings

To get back on the road

And I still get leanings

To forget the things I know

About myself and changes

Going through and coming to

You were my first song

And I still ...


Do words express true meaning

I mean the words are still the same

Old loves lose young feelings

But the new ones they gain

From changes that I’ve been through

And the new ones I’m coming to

You were my first song

And I still ...


Yes you were my first song and I still love you
THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies, my love

To the dark and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hand

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

That was there at my command
The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart beat close to mine

I thought our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time, my love

And last till the end of time
FOG ON THE TYNE
Sitting in a sleazy snack bar sucking

Sickly sausage rolls

Slipping down slowly slipping down sideways

Think I’ll sign off the dole


‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine

‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine


Could a copper catch a crooked coffin maker

Could a copper comprehend

That a crooked coffin maker’s just an undertaker

One it takes to be your friend


‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine

‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine


Tell it to tomorrow today will take it’s time

To tell you what tonight may bring

Presently we’ll have a pint or two together

Everybody do their thing


We can swim together we can have a wee wee

We can have a wet on the wall

If someone slips a whisper that his simple sister

Slap ‘em down and slap it on their smalls


‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine

‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine

‘Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine

The fog on the Tyne is all mine


FOGGY FOGGY DEW
When I was a bachelor I lived all alone and I worked at the weaving trade

And the only thing I ever did wrong was courting a servant maid

I courted her in the Winter time and part of the Summer too

And the only thing I ever did wrong was to keep her from the foggy foggy dew


One night she came to my bedside as I lay fast asleep

She lay her head upon my bed and bitterly began to weep

She wept she moaned she tore out her hair crying “Oh what shall I do ?”

So all night long I held her in my arms just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew


So all the first part of the night how we did sport and play

And all the latter part of the night she in my arms did lay

And when the daylight did appear she cried I am undone

Oh shut your mouth you pretty fair maid for the foggy foggy dew has gone


Suppose that we should have a child it would make you laugh and smile

Suppose that we should have another it would make you think awhile

And if we had another my dear and another too

Why we must leave our kissing my dear and think of the foggy foggy dew


One night she starts to moan and cry says I what’s up with you

Says she I should never have been this way if it hadn’t been for you

I got my boots and my trousers on I got my neighbour too

But do what we could we could do her no good and she died in the foggy foggy dew


So I am a bachelor and with my son we work at the weaving trade

And every time I look into his eyes it reminds me of that fair young maid

He reminds me of the Wintertime and part of the Summertime too

And the many many times I held her in my arms just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew



THE FOLKER
I am but a folker and my story’s seldom told

But I massacre folk music with a piece of German plywood and a capo

I do requests just the ones that have two chords in and I disregard the rest

But with Burt Weedon’s help one day I’ll be the best


Seeking twenty plus expenses I went looking for a gig

But I got no offers just a come on from a groupie in the tap room

I do declare I was feeling kind of randy so I had her then and there

Ooh la la way hey I didn’t care


I have sung the folk tradition with my finger in my ear

‘Cause half the tripe I’m singing I just can’t bear to hear (it’s a load of cobblers)

Bar after bar to the rhythm of an off key British one string thatched guitar

La la la la la la la la la la la


In “Sir Patrick Spens” I clean forgot the forty second verse

So I sung the twenty seventh twice as loud and in reverse and no one noticed

I laughed for hours ‘till the tears ran down my trouser leg I nearly wet my drawers

La la la la la la la la la la la


Right fol la toora loora laddie ay fol de ra shooly shooly rolly day

Wass fink of ‘e o ar cor blimey oy diddly oy diddly oy dee diddle oy de day


On the stage I stand a hero and a martyr to my trade

‘Cause I carry the reminders of every gig I’ve been to like last Sunday at the Irish club in Clifton Where I fled in mortal fear with the imprint of a Guinness bottle stamped upon my ear

And a voice that shouted “no surrender here”
Nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya

Nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya


Now I’ve got me thing together man I’m really freaking out

Dropping black Old Holbourne resin mainlining on draught stout and having hang-ups

I’m like the rest I’ve got problems with my sex life since I fell and sprained my wrist

And my other songs are twice as bad as this


Ly la ly ly la ly ly ly ly ly ly la ly ly la ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly
FOLLOW ME UP TO CARLOW
Lofy MacCahir Og your face brooding o’er the old disgrace

Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place and drove you to the Fern

Grey said victory was sure soon the fire brand he’d secure

Until he met at Glen malure with Feach MacHugh O’Byrne


Curse and swear Lord Kildare feach will do what Feach will dare

Now Fitzwilliam have a care fallen is your star now

Up with halbert out with sword on we’ll go for by the Lord

Feach MacHugh has given his word follow me up to Carlow


See the swords of Glen Imayle flashing o’er the English pale

See all the children of the Gael beneath O’Byrne’s banners

Rooster of the fighting stock would you let a Saxon cock

Crow out upon an Irish rock fly up and teach him manners


Curse and swear Lord Kildare feach will do what Feach will dare

Now Fitzwilliam have a care fallen is your star now

Up with halbert out with sword on we’ll go for by the Lord

Feach MacHugh has given his word follow me up to Carlow


From Tassagart to Clonmore flows a stream of Saxon gore

Och great is Rory Oge O’More at sending loons to Hades

White is sick and Lane is fled now for black Fitzwilliam’s head

We’ll send it over dripping red to Liza and the ladies


Curse and swear Lord Kildare feach will do what Feach will dare

Now Fitzwilliam have a care fallen is your star now

Up with halbert out with sword on we’ll go for by the Lord

Feach MacHugh has given his word follow me up to Carlow


FOR YOUR LOVE
For your love for your love for your love
I’d give you everything and more and that’s for sure (for your love)

I’d bring you diamond rings and things right to your door (for your love)

To thrill you with delight I’d give you diamonds bright

There’ll be days that will excite and make you dream of me at night


For your love

For your love

For your love
For your love for your love I would give the stars above

For your love for your love I would give you all I could


For your love for your love (for your love)
I’d give the moon if it were mine to give (for your love)

I’d give the stars and the sun before I live (for your love)

To thrill you with delight I’d give you diamonds bright

There’ll be days that will excite and make you dream of me at night


For your love

For your love

For your love

For your love


FREE BIRD
If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me

For I must be travelling on now

‘Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see


But if I stayed here with you girl

Things just couldn’t be the same

‘Cause I’m free as a bird now

And this bird you cannot change

And this bird you cannot change

Lord knows I can’t change


Bye bye baby it’s been sweet love

Though this feeling I can’t change

But please don’t take it so badly

‘Cause the lord know’ I’m to blame


But if I stayed here with you girl

Things just couldn’t be the same

‘Cause I’m free as a bird now

And this bird you cannot change

And this bird you cannot change

Lord knows I can’t change


Lord help me I can’t change

Lord help me I can’t change

Lord help me I can’t change
FREE ELECTRIC BAND
My father is a doctor, he's a family man

My mother works for charity whenever she can

They're both good clean Americans who abide by the law

They both stick up for liberty and they both support the war

My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down

For summer in a summer camp and winter in the town

My future in the system was talked about and planned

But I gave it up for music and a free electric band

I went to school in hand washed shirts with neatly ordered hair

And the school was big and newly built and filled with light and air

And the teacher taught us values that we had to learn and keep

And they clipped the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep

My father organised for me a college in the east

But I went to California for the sunshine and the beach

My parents and my lecturers could never understand

Why I gave it up for music and the free electric band


Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career

A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer

Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand

'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band


My father sent me money and I spent it very fast

On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class

Yes and we learned about her body, but her mind we didn't know

Until the deep rooted attitudes and morals began to show

She wanted to get married even though she never said

And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head

She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land

So I gave her up for music and the free electric band
