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
