WAITING FOR THE SUN

At first flash of Eden we raced down to the sea,

Standing there on freedom's shore.

Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun,

waiting for the sun.

Can't you feel it, now that spring has come;

That it's time to live in the scattered sun.

Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun,

Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,

Waiting for you to come along;

Waiting for you to hear my song;

Waiting for you to come along;

Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong.

This is the strangest life I've ever known.

YOU MAKE ME REAL

I really want you really do,

Really need you, baby, God knows I do.

'Cause I'm not real enough without you;

Oh, what can I do?

You make me real, you make me feel like lovers feel.

You make me throw away mistaken misery.

Make me free, love. Make me free

You make me real, only you have that appeal.

So let me slide in your tender sunken sea,

Make me free, love, make me free.

PEACE FROG

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles

She came

There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee

She came

Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago

She came

Blood on the rise, it's following me

Think about the break of day

She came and then she drove away

Sunlight in her hair

She came

Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness

She came

Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh

She came

Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city

She came

The women are crying rivers of weepin'

She came into town and then she drove away

Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven

Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice

Blood in my love in the terrible summer

Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers

Blood will be born in the birth of a nation

Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles

Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee

Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago

Blood on the rise, it's following me

BLUE SUNDAY

I found my own true love was on a Blue Sunday.

She looked at me and told me

I was the only

One in the world.

Now I have found my girl.

My girl awaits for me in tender times

My girl is mine

She is the world

She is my girl.

La, la, la, la

My girl awaits for me in tender times

My girl is mine

She is the world

She is my girl.

SHIP OF FOOLS

The human race was dying out,

No-one left to scream and shout.

People walking on the moon,

Smog will get you pretty soon.

Ev'ryone was hangin' out,

Hangin' up and hangin' down.

Hangin' in and holdin' fast,

Hope our little world will last.

Yeah, Along came Mister Goodtrips

Looking for a new ship.

Come on, people, better climb on board;

Come on, baby, now we're going home.

Ship of fools, ship of fools,

Smog will get you pretty soon.

LAND HO!

Grandma loved a sailor

Who sailed the frozen sea.

Grandpa was the whaler

And he took me on his knee.

He said, "Son, I'm going crazy

From livin' on the land.

Got to find my shipmates

And walk on foreign sands.

This old man was graceful

With silver in his smile.

He smoked a briar pipe and

He walked four country miles.

Singing songs of shady sisters

And old time liberty.

Songs of love and songs of death

And songs to set men free.

Yeah!

I've got three ships and sixteen men,

A course for ports unread.

I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow

Till half of us are dead.

Land ho!

Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill,

Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill.

If I get my hands on a number five,

Gonna skin that litle girl alive.

If I get my hand on a number two,

Come back home and marry you,

marry you, marry you.

Alright!

Land ho!

THE SPY

[I'm the spy in the house of Love.

I know the dream that you're dreamin' of;

I know the word that you long to hear.

I know your deepest secret fear.

I know ev'rything:

Ev'rything you do;

Ev'rywhere you go;

Ev'ryone you know.

I'm a spy, I know your deepest secret fear.

I know your deepest secret, I'm a spy

I can see what you do;

And I know.

QUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY

She was a princess, Queen of the Highway

Sign on the road said: "Take us to Madre"

No one could save her, save the blind tiger

He was a monster, black dressed in leather

She was a princess, Queen of the Highway

Now they are wedded, she is a good girl

Naked as children out in a meadow,

Naked as children, wild as can be,

Soon to have offspring, start it all over

Start at all over

American boy, American girl,

Most beautiful people in the world!

Son of a frontier Indian Swirl,

Dancing through the midnight whirl-pool

Formless hope it can

continue a little while longer

INDIAN SUMMER

I love you the best,

Better than all the rest,

I love you the best,

Better than all the rest,

That I meet in the summer.

Indian summer.

MAGGIE M'GILL

Ms. Maggie M'Gill,

She lived on a hill.

Her daddy got drunk

And left her no will.

So she went down,

Down to Tangie Town.

People down there

Really like to get it on.

Now if you're sad,

And you're feeling blue.

Go out and buy a

Brand new pair of shoes.

And you go down,

Down to Tangie Town.

'Cause people down there

Really like to get it on.

Get it on.

Illegitimate son

Of a Rock n' Roll star.

Illegitimate son

Of a Rock n' Roll star.

Mom met dad in the back

Of a Rock n' Roll car.

Well, I'm an old blues man

And I think that you understand.

I've been singing the blues

Ever since the world began.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie M'Gill.

Roll on, roll on, Maggie M'Gill.
