| Baby Lemonade In the sad town Cold iron hands clap The party of clowns outside Rain falls in gray far away Please, please baby lemonade In the evening, sun going down when The Earth streams in, in the morning Send a cage through the post Make your name like a ghost Please, please baby lemonade I'm screaming I met you this way You're nice to me like ice In a clock they sent Through a washing machine Come around make it soon, so alone Please, please baby lemonade |
| Late Night When I woke up today And you weren't there to play Then I wanted to be with you When you showed me your eyes Whispered low of the skies Then I wanted to stay with you Inside me I feel alone and unreal And the way you kiss will always be A very special thing to me When I lay still at night Seeing the stars high and light Then I wanted to be with you When the rooftops shown dark All alone saw a spark Spark of love just to be with you Inside me I feel alone and unreal And the way you kiss will always be A very special thing to me If I mention your name Turn around on a chain Then the sky opens up for you When we grew very tall When I saw you so small Then I wanted to stay with you Inside me I feel alone and unreal And the way you kiss will always be A very special thing to me |
| Waving My Arms In the Air Waving my arms in the air got my love, got no care No care, no, no pressing my feet to the ground Stand up right where you stand Call to you, and what do you do? Laying back in a chair She's so high on the air She's so high on the air Half and half, half and half All you have to do to call, is hold her hand Stand a while and then smile and we'll understand Yes we do, yes, yes we do Oh what a girl I got too, oh what a girl I got too With a slinky look, she held a tie to her hair I could see everywhere No one in the land, no one, No one in the land, no one It rains on Saturday, cats and dogs in the hay Stormy day, hey, hey And you shouldn't try to be what you can't be You shouldn't try to be what you can't be Call to you, and what do you do? There will be shoulder pressing in the hall And I won't know if you're here at all There will be wine and drinking in the yard There won't be anybody very hard There will be lots of things that we can do And all and more will be for you Everything I knew I tried with you But everything with you was never easy So I went ahead around my world I saw the things you do, arriving by your side To see you looking too, But I never lied to you It's been just like you're gone For just one day, for so long It's been so hard to care when you're not there But then I think of you, the things youb do When I'm with you, to be with you |
| Dark Globe Oh where are you now Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf? When I was alone You promised a stone from your heart My head kissed the ground I was half the way down Treading the sand, please Please lift a hand I'm only a person whose armbands beads On his hands hang tall Won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all? The poppy birds sway Swing twigs coffee brands around Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue My head kissed the ground I was half the way down Treading the sand, please Please, please lift a hand I'm only a person with Eskimo chain I tattooed my brain all the way Won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all? |

| Here I Go This here's a story 'bout a girl that I knew She didn't like my songs and that made me feel blue She said a big band is far better than you...

Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall your stars - my stars, a simple cock bar only an impulse - pie in the sky mumble listen dolly drift over your mind - holly creep into bed when your head's on the ground she held the torch on the porch, she winked an eye Reason it is written on the brambles stranded on the spikes - my blood red, oh listen: remember those times I could call through the clear day time - be there... braver and braver, a handkercheif waver the louder you lips to a loud hailer growing together, they ('re) growing each either no wondering, stumbling, fumbling rumbling minds shot togther, our minds shot together So equally over a valley, a hill wood on quarry stood, each of us crying a velvet curtain of grey mark the blanket where the sparrows play and the trees by the waving corn stranded my legs move the last empty inches to you the softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense mote to a grog - the star a white chalk minds shot together, our minds shot together... |

| Wolfpack Howling the pack in formation appears diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead waving us back in formation, the pack in formation bowling they bat as a group and the leader is seen - so early... the pack on their backs, the fighters through misty the waving - the pack in formation far reaching waves on sight, shone right I lay as if in surround... all enmeshing, hovering... the milder I gaze all the animals laying trail beyond the far winds mild the reflecting electricity eyes... tears, the life that was ours grows sharper and stronger away and beyond short wheeling - fresh spring gripped with blanched bones - moaned magnesium, proverbs and sobs... howling the pack in formation appears diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead waving us back in formation, the pack in formation |
| Effervescing Elephant An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes, and great big trunk once whispered to the tiny ears the ears of one inferior that by next june he'd die, oh yeah! because the tiger would roam and the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home and everytime I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl and I'll be really safe you know The elephant he told me so And everyone was nervvy, oh yeah! and the message was spread to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus who wollowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippoplancton food and tended to ignore the word prefering to survey a herd of stupid water bison, oh yeah! and the jungle took fright and ran around for all the day and the night but all in vain because you see the tiger came and said to me, "You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you I much prefer something to chew you're all too scant, oh yeah!" He ate the elephant |

| Long Gone She was long gone, long, long gone She was gone, gone the bigger they come The larger her hand 'til no one understands Why for so long she'd been gone And I stood very still by the window sill And I wondered for those I love still I cried in my mind while I stand behind The beauty of lows in her eyes She was long gone, long, long gone She was gone, gone the bigger they come The larger her hand 'til no one understand Why for so long she'd been gone And I borrowed a page from a leopard's cage And I prowled in the evening's suns glaze Her head lifted high to the light in the sky The opening dawn on her face She was long gone, long, long gone She was gone, gone the bigger they come The larger her hand 'til no one understand Why for so long she'd been gone And I stood very still by the window sill And I wondered for those I love still I cried in my mind while I stand behind The beauty of lows in her eyes |
| She Took a Long, Cold Look She took a long, cold look at me And smiled and gazed all over my arm She loves to see me get down to ground She hasn't time just to be with me A face between all she means to be To be extreme, just to be extreme A broken pier on the wavy sea She wonders why for she wants to see But I got up and I stumped around And hit the piece Where the trees touch the ground The end of truth that lay out the time Spent lazing here on a painting green A modern moor in a foreign clime To see farther inside of me Looking high up into the sky I breath as the water streams over me |
| Octopus (Clowns and Jugglers) another clip from "The Madcap Laughs" Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro' you have no word trip, trip to a dream dragon hide your wings in a ghost tower sails crackiling at ev'ry plate we break cracked by scattered needles little minute gong coughs and clears his throat madam you see before you stand hey ho, never be still the old original favourite gran grasshoppers green herbarian band and the tune they play in us confide... so trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro' you have no word Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! Isn't it good to be lost in the wood isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood meant even less to me than I thought with a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds clover honey pots and mystic shining feed... well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border hey ho, huff the talbot The winds they blew and the leaves did way They'll never put me in their bag The raging seas will always seep So high you go, so low you creep The wind it blows in tropical heat the drones they throng on mossy seats the squeaking door will always creep two up, two down we'll never meet Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! |
| No Man's Land You would hold your head up high You'd even try You would hold another hand Oh, understand They even see me under call We under all We awful, awful crawl To him I are Don't see me cry Just searching, you even try I can make you smile If it's there will you go there too? When I live I die They even see me under call We under all We awful awful crawl Because of you To see me be |
| Feel You feel me away far too empty, oh so alone! I want to go home Oh find me inside of a nocturn - the blonde "how I love you to be by my side" they wail the crowd on her side she straggled the bridge by the water She misses her crawl far ley grew heady aside in a dell inside an eye be the lonely one, my bride how I leave on the waddling wheel they flail a gasp shringing a bad bell's ringing the angel, the daughter You feel me away far too empty, oh so alone! I want to go home Oh find me inside of a nocturn - the blonde how I love you to be by my side they wail... the crowd on her side she straggled the bridge by the water... |
| Bob Dylan Blues Got the Bob Dylan blues And the Bob Dylan shoes And my clothes and my hair's in a mess But ya know I just couldn't care less Gonna write me a song 'bout what's right and what's wrong 'Bout God and my girl and all that Quiet while I make like a cat 'Cause I'm a poet Don't ya know it? And the wind you can blow it 'Cause I Mr Dylan the king And I'm free as a bird on the wing Rome from town to town Guess I get people down But I don't care too much about that 'Cause my gut and my wallet are fat Make a whole lot of dough But I deserve it though I got soul and a good heart of gold So I'll sing about war and the cold 'Cause I'm a poet Don't ya know it? And the wind you can blow it 'Cause I'm Mr Dylan the king And I'm free as a bird on the wing Well I sings about dreams And I rhymes it would seems 'Cause it seems that my dream always means That I can prophesi all kinds of things Well the guy that digs me Should try hard to see That he buys all my disks and a hat And when I'm in town go see that 'Cause I'm a poet Don't ya know it? And the wind you can blow it 'Cause I'm Mr Dylan the king And I'm free as a bird on the wing |
