An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time When I was a young man I learned not to care Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear My mother and father said whiskey is a curse But the fate of their baby is many times worse An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man Try it just once, an' you'll try it again It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found I will live a few days as a slave to codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head An' I've started heating whether my body said Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time Tangerine Eyes Please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me, One that I can hear all the day. Oh and please darling Tangerine Eyes kiss my hand at dawn By the bright and yellow corn of your hair. Like a picture of the golden sunset you can make it real, You know just how I feel all the time. So please darling Tangerine Eyes whisper to the wind We'll leave the rain behind and walk away. We walk along the lonesome shoreline listening to the sea, Talking to you and me about the sky And we know even as we walk that way before the dawn Our footsteps will be gone far away. The seagulls ride the winds for you, can't you hear them cry, Can't you hear them sigh out your name? Oh please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me One that I can hear So I feel alright In the big start studded night of my dreams. |

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Di di di di, di di di di Di di di di, di di di di Di di di When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be and long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears. He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen, Been a soldier for a thousand years. He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain, A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew. And he knows he shouldn't kill, And he knows he always will, Kill you for me my friend and me for you. And he's fighting for Canada, He's fighting for France, He's fighting for the USA, And he's fighting for the Russians, And he's fighting for Japan, And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way. And he's fighting for Democracy, He's fighting for the Reds, He says it's for the peace of all. He's the one who must decide, Who's to live and who's to die, And he never sees the writing on the wall. But without him, How would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone, He's the one who gives his body As a weapon of the war, And without him all this killing can't go on. He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame, His orders come from far away no more, They come from here and there and you and me, And brothers can't you see, This is not the way we put the end to war. Chords:- F,G7,C,Am Dm,Em |

Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur Draped in white velvet, silk and lace. The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase, Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight, Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur Draped in white velvet, silk and lace. The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase, Sparkles on her fingers both slender and pale. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. |

The long gone breezes are blowing down the sky. From my window to the street I cast my weary eye. Everything is quiet in the lonesome dusky night. I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night. I remember the days when the sun was warm with love Softening as the day grew old in dazzling streaks of gold. Now my days are meek, the sunset's the cruellest time I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night. I feel I want to ramble to the shores of the mighty sea Pounding in my ears the wind so wild and free To stumble in the high grass, the sand a-glowin' white My eyes they feel, they break and spell the darkness of my night. My sorrow is confusing, my love will never know My empty hands they lie down by my sides so low I walk this sleeping tunnel and the highway in-between bright I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night. Riding feathered wings to lick like I'm a dog Oft I've heard the world as it cries out for some love Cries out for someone, a little compassion and light They're feeling so alone in the darkness of their night. |

I drink sweet wine for breakfast, I slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence deciding on where to go. "Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum," I think that's what she said, a little bit sad about having to leave them. Yawning in the sun, like a child I run. But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. No, don't it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. How little do you speak of beauty, isn't it a shame, what ho Maybe you should go get a power ring, you'd make all your troubles go. There she stood in drag, just-a lookin' cool in astrakhan. She's lookin' just a little wiped out, she said I looked like Peter Pan. Yawning in the sun, oh baby, like a child I run. But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. Oh no, no, don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that. Don't do it. |

The days of wine and roses are distant days for me. I dream of the last and the next affair and of girls I'll never see. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue, The retired writer in the sun. Tonight I trod in the starlight, I excused myself with a grin. I ponder the moon in a silver spoon and the little one 'live within. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun. The magazine girl poses on my glossy paper aeroplane Too many years I spent in the City playing with Mr. Loss and Gain. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue, The retired writer in the sun. I bathe in the sun of the morning, lemon circles swim in the tea Fishing for time with a wishing line and throwing it back in the sea. And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun, The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue, The retired writer in the sun. |

The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico. There in the valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jade Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine In that crystal thought time in Mexico. Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine, Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine. Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet, I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico. Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night, Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight, Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp, Valentino vamp in Mexico. The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity I dug you diggin' me in Mexico. |

On the windy beach the sun is shining through with
weather fair White horses riding on the seas pasture onto the sand Over the Dunes came a travelling man Sack on back Wild flowers in his hand Old rusty cans, pebbles 'bedded in the sand stand and stare Scratching his beard through the grass he steered his sandy shoe Disappearing in the dips pondering and wandering along Nice as you please comes the travelling man Drinking a bottle of milk in his hand Speaking to no one in particular but happily Down where the gulls dance driftwood lying drying for the fire Yellow beak and sleek now the gulls are crying flying higher Out from the sea came a little green Crab Taking the Sun the morning being very drab Old rusty cans, pebbles 'bedded in the sand stand and stare The Tinker and the Crab The Tinker and the Crab The Tinker and the Crab |

I dwell in the north in the green country,
Far I'm here, far I'm here And I take to my rest at the end of day, Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play. And then I dream along, Then I make a song About everything that I've known and felt, And it makes my sadness melt Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day, The rain has gone away, Watching the children sing and play In the garden and the roadway. Up comes a little one singing a song About a friend she knows called Rosie. Off to the greenwood you must go, bring-a me one fine posie. All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly. Oh, I dwell with my pride and my songs and things Wearily, oh so wearily And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye Sundaily, whatever she may be. And then I dream along Then I make a song About everything that I've known and felt And it makes my sadness melt.

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. So great an area of land, That from her western shores Those beautiful sailors journeyed To the South and the North Americas with ease, In their ships with painted sails. To the East Africa was a neighbour, Across a short strait of sea miles. The great Egyptian age is But a remnant of The Atlantian culture. The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis. Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth. On board were the Twelve: The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist, The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends. Though Gods they were - And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice And let us sing And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be, Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be, Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be. Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be, Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be. My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, I wanna see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, My antediluvian baby, My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl, Girl, I wanna see you some day.

Multi colour run down over your body, Then the liquid passing all into all Love is hot truth is molten. True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.

Little pebble upon the sand Now you're lying here in my hand, How many years have you been here ? Little human upon the sand >From where I'm lying here in your hand, You to me are but a passing breeze. The sun will always shine where you stand Depending in which land You may find yourself. Now you have my blessing, go your way. Happiness runs in a circular motion Thought is like a little boat upon the sea. Everybody is a part of everything anyway, You can have everything if you let yourself be. Happiness runs, happiness runs. Happiness runs, happiness runs. Happiness runs, happiness runs. Happiness runs, happiness runs. Happiness runs in a circular motion Thought is like a little boat upon the sea. Everybody is a part of everything anyway, You can have everything if you let yourself be. Happiness runs, happiness runs. Happiness runs, happiness runs. Happiness runs, happiness runs.

From the album hms donovan
Should you wander this land to the North, And few seldom do, Should you follow the song of the gull To enchanted western isles, Coax a fisherman to take you out Where the silky seals are seen, Hear the stories that they tell about The maiden who is their queen, The maiden who is their queen. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" Seal hunters are not brave and bold, They murder her poor wee seals And cut off their skins to be sold, Cursed be he who deals. There's no reason for this slaughtering, They're left on the rocks to bleed He's not a man who does this thing, It's a cruel and a heartless deed, A cruel and a-heartless deed. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" |

Driving across the highlands
Of Scotland in our land rover Shadow of cloud falls And with it a chill High o'er heather Hawk hover the hill Just begun is my journey And Danu's my name I am the juggler of fortune and fame Let me not hear facts figures and logic Fain would I hear lore legends and magic (x 4) Feathers of raven Slithers of coal Armour of silver In the mackerel shoal Sun in the west T'is ruby blood red Travelers a-weary Do make their bed Let me not hear facts figures and logic Fain would I hear lore legends and magic (x 4) |

God is playing marbles
With his planets and his stars Creating havoc through my life Through his influence on Mars That's why I'm stumbling down the highway On my boots of steel I should be rolling down the skyway On my cosmic wheels In the present position of the planets It's impossible for me to say Just when I'll find my course again With these boulders in my way I should be rolling down the skyway On my cosmic wheels Instead of stumbling down this highway On my boots of steel I should be rolling down the skyway On my cosmic wheels |

You're such a good friend.
I'd had to have you as an enemy. From the first time we met, I knew you were the one to set me free. You liked me. I liked you. You liked me. I liked you. Holding my heart in the palm of your hand. Headed out west for the Indian lands. Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind. Burning your body to fill in the time. Sad city sister on Avenue of Palm, I knew naively that I was your man. I followed after with heavy heart of lead. Just like a man who walks, yet is dead. I asked you to dance and you wondered and you thought you might. So we went and took a chance, On the catwalk in the cold starlight. I held you. You felt me. I touched you. You kissed me. Holding my heart in the palm of your hand. Headed out west for the Indian lands. Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind. Drugs aid your body to fill in the time. Sad city sister on Avenue of Palm, I knew naively that I was your man. I followed after with heavy heart of lead. Just like a man who walks, yet is dead. |

A-One, two. One, two, three.
There have been bad thing done There have been some good one And many people died And many nations cried And many babies came As many died again Yet always Man prevailed Yeah though the Devil wailed You know we're way out there In some galaxy hair With all this space around We fight to keep our share. With all our cruelty And all our jealousy We find it hard to give To just live and let live To live and let live It's all in the Dance of Life my friend It's all in the Song that never ends It's all in the Dance of Life my friend Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star We think that we're so big The truth we never, never twig And if some Quasar gonna blow I guess we'd never, never know And long before that day When we are burned away Let us take time to smile And swing a little while Just a little while. There have been many, many words And just as many, many turds It's all a kind of dream And not quite what it seems But when the talking's done This Life of Death we're gonna shun And turn our heart to Him Haile Selassie Whose Light will never, never dim Whoa, oh, oh, It's all in the Dance of Life my friend It's all in the Song that never ends It's all in the Dance of Life my friends Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star. |

There's a certain romance about a long haired guitar man
You can close your eyes imagine, and he could be your man With his soft and soothing song you can just be his gal You just turn his records on when you need a good pal. Is it fantasy fascination in the melody man Dare his music touch you deep inside, Feel the touch of his wand With his rock and rolling song you can feel the feeling Just a casual glance from his eyes send your senses reeling... The Rock and Roll Souljer, fight my allergy Rock and Roll Souljer, kill my misery Rock and Roll Souljer won't you help me when I'm down Rock and Roll Souljer shoot me with your magic sound You're inclined to believe all he say when he's sayin' he love you You're entwined around his magnet word, and do what he do With his boogie woogie walk he can make ya looney WIth his lazy crazy talk, can make you act so gooney baby, it make you act so gooney. The Rock and Roll Souljer, fight my allergy Rock and Roll Souljer, kill my misery Rock and Roll Souljer won't you help me when I'm down Rock and Roll Souljer shoot me with your magic sound (Come on shoot me with the...) The Rock and Roll Souljer, fight my allergy Rock and Roll Souljer, kill my misery Rock and Roll Souljer won't you help me when I'm down Rock and Roll Souljer shoot me with your magic sound Come and shoot me full of rock and roll Shoot me, shoot me full of rock and roll...

On a lone and windy hilltop beneath a roof of tin
In a little wallpapered bedroom I done my growin'. 'Twas there I dreamt my dreams, I hung my jeans And wandered through my puberty as all do. My mother was a tight nut bound up with false guilt Strapped up in her fearing wall she had built. The independent girl in a dark and cruel world She'd lost the way to say, ""OK, now lay back"". We disagreed on most things, I shouted peace and love The family is mankind, the symbol of the dove. She only saw the surface of things before her face But I was young and argued on for hours. My father he liked poetry, a scholar he might have made. Had nothing, born a poor boy barefoot and underpaid So the man worked with his hands up and down the land, His dreams forgot he thought that I must follow. With his marks as worker's wisdom he'd read a thing or two He once had been a Mason but he never followed through. Always kind and thoughtful, smelling of mushy oil And he read me poetry of visionaries. I flunk my way to college, a looser kind of school But we bobbed and played time arty, feeling cool Just to live an artists diggin' the ravin' scene Reading Kerouac and Ginsberg well deuced. I was not academic, Art and English neat, The history of mankind I liked that a bit. And what was I to do ? The choices they were few, I done right disgrace to the working classes I done right disgrace to the working classes I done right disgrace to the working classes I done right disgrace to the working classes. |

There is a rapture that my soul desires
There is a something that I cannot name. I know not after what my soul aspires Nor guess from when the restless longing came But ever from my childhood have I felt it In all things beautiful, in all things gay And ever has its gentle unseen presence Falling like a shadow cloud across my way. It is the melody in all sweet music In all fair forms it is the hidden grace. In all I love, a something that escapes me, Flies by pursuit and ever visits face. I see it in the woodlands, silver beauty I feel it in the very breathing of the air. I stretch my hand to grasp for I can't touch it When I do, well I know it is not there. 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 la la La la la la la la la la la But ever from my childhood have I felt it In all things beautiful, in all things gay And ever has its gentle unseen presence Falling like a shadow cloud across my way. There is a rapture. |

From the album slow down world
My love she's a flower Perfuming the air where'er she blooms, With her silk and her incense Harmonising hotel rooms. Dark-eyed blue jean angel, Red Egyptian hair, Dark-eyed blue jean angel, Watch the people stare. I bought you lace and velvet, And Victoriana trinket, Dressed you up in Art Nouveau When nobody else kink it. Dark-eyed blue jean angel, Red Egyptian hair, Dark-eyed blue jean angel, Watch the people stare. Dark-eyed blue jean angel, Pre-Raphaelite child, Let loose your henna braid, Fuzz your hair out wild, Fuzz your hair out wild. |
