Withering tree, bearing no fruit
Never will see an evergreen suit
Reaching right out, out for the sun
Broken old branches, fall one by one
Into the arms of eternity
Fighting the fish up from the deep
Oh how I wish the lake would not sleep
Following dreams into the blue
There you will see, hidden from view
Trees in the arms of eternity
Into the arms of eternity

Withering tree, bearing no fruit
Never will see an evergreen suit
Reaching right out, out for the sun
Broken old branches, fall one by one
Into the arms of eternity
Fighting the fish up from the deep
Oh how I wish the lake would not sleep
Following dreams into the blue
There you will see, hidden from view
Trees in the arms of eternity
Into the arms of eternity

We are not like all the rest
You can see us any day of the week.
Come around, sit down, take a sniff, fall asleep
Baby you don't have to speak.
I'd like to show you where it is
But then it wouldn't even mean a thing.
Nothing is easy, baby just please me
Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

If for just one moment
You could step outside your mind.
And float across the ceiling
I don't think the folks would mind.

Nothing is easy, baby just please me
Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

Well if for just one moment
You could step outside your mind.
And float across the ceiling
I don't think the folks would mind.

Who knows (who knows, who knows) what tomorrow may bring (repeat to fade)

You walk and talk and move around in circles
Your friends telling you you are doing fine
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles
Through the shattered membranes of your mind
If I could talk to you for just one minute
Then you would know what it is I am getting at
But there again your head's got nothing in it
By the way you left without your hat

I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off
The joker that you got is fading too
And all the sharks that come around for the rip-off
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder at the silver glittered boys
Trying, trying to compete
And all at once the room begins to thunder
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet

The prostitute is standing on the corner
Suffering so much pain to stay alive
She's so real, that life itself bows down before her
She couldn't make that nine to five
While the president is crying, crying in the White House
The prime minister's really got the blues
All the heads of state are busy playing cat

Capaldi

Whale meat again under the sun
Every twelve minutes and another one's gone
His meat's in your make-up, his flesh is on your lips
As a nuclear warhead explodes in his hips.

Scientists are saying : 'Now we've got to do something soon'
But sitting around talking about it ain't gonna stop that harpoon
Oh, whale meat again, when will it end ?
Not 'til everything is dead, alright.

Woman's in labour, she screams at the sky
Somebody take this pain away, I'm gonna lay here and die
The doctor rushes in, puts a needle in her skin
And says : 'Oh, come on now, you really must try'.

If you go slowly, then you won't be lonely
But everybody keeps on rushing around
It's bringing me down, hey.

Mr. Politician, can't you see ?
You're gonna kill everything including you and me
So while you're talking in your expensive clothes
I think somebody's going to shove something up your nose.

The whale boats are sailing, tonight they'll be whaling
Oh, there gonna be frying tonight.

Oh, beauty, all the love
Oh, God, if you're really up above
Do something now
Oh, do something now
...

Tell me how you want me to be, then look again and you will see
That I'm still the same love
Think me into any shape, your twisted mind has no escape
But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love
But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love
You can learn how to play
Born like you were in a terrible mess, didn't know what it was to have a new dress
You just wanted to scream out my name
Till somebody said, 'Let me take you to bed'
And with money and lies they filled up your head
You were barely thirteen, a child from the villages
So fresh on the scene

Everything really is stupidly simple
And yet all around is utter confusion
Fairy tales written may help you to see it
Do you understand about Lewis's Alice?
We fit all our lives into regular patterns
All that we really know is that we're really living

"The man who makes the world - his wisdom seeks to know his mind.
And knowing where his feet should walk, and when he should or should not talk,
And have a friend to find.
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet.
The hermit sits inside his cave and seeks to know his mind.
Staring into empty space and seeing things in people's faces others cannot find.
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet."

You've nothing to hide, so why try to hide it?
I know there are some, but they're screwed up inside
If you need a reason for all this I'm singing
It's simpleness really that gives it its meaning

Sometimes your life can be sidetracked
Getting lost in things you don't need
But we all lose direction
In a world of greed

People's lives end in ruin
Some people's lives never start
Someone knows what you're doing
Deep in your heart

In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace

There's a world never ending
Sorrow and pain don't exist
We can live there together
You can't resist

'Cause when you think you can't take it
Dreams disappear into space
Trust in your heart, you can make it
When you're living, living in a state of grace

Nothing worse than sorrow
Of loved ones you have lost
You can't face tomorrow
You can't bear the cross

Just remember that darkness
In this world has no place
You've got so much to give now
You're living

In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace

In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved [Incomprehensible] spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace

Living, state of grace
Oh, oh, state of grace
Baby, when you are living
[Incomprehensible]

Hey, hey, living
Living, living, oh, oh, yeah, oh
[Incomprehensible], hey
Living in a state of grace

We started off heading for the top and set our sights on the sun.
Now there's no more tears as we're standing here, and the morning light has begun.
They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try.
But inside a heart of fire is a force you can't deny.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong, born of the sun.
Like a fire burns inside me so strong

We live in hope waiting for the day, when all our dreams can begin.
But the time it takes for the rain to fall, is the time it takes to give in.
They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try.
But inside a heart of fire, is a force you can't deny.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong, born of the sun.
Like a fire, sea of fire, burns inside me so strong.


Love is what brought us here.
And no-one can deny.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire.
Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher.
Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire.
Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher
Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire.

You said you couldn't leave me after all that we'd been through
I believed you when you said we should both try something new
I was drowning inside here with a love that was so true
But you laughed right in my face and there was nothing I could do
Once I took a walk across the hill to see what I could see
I saw a light falling from the sky and land beneath a tree
The light it gave was oh, so bright that it took away my care
I ran back to the house to tell you but you were not there
When you've loved someone dearly it's so hard not to regret
Memories that have faded, suddenly you can't forget
I know I was not dreaming when you walked right out the door
Just a feeling that told me my love was gone for evermore
When you think you've found the key, the door just slips away
And so you walk the floor all night until the break of day
Somewhere in your mind you know that things will be alright
Because everything in life is equal just like the day and night
You said you couldn't leave me after all that we'd been through
I believed you when you said that we should both try something new
Something new

Heats the message that you send
One look at you, I'm burning up inside
You know that I'd give up anything
I can't get enough when you get next to me
Oh you, hey, some kinda woman
You some kinda woman
You cut a notch every time a heart is breaking
One time and then you, oh, never let 'em off
Once you've fixed your sightsv Oh, I want you, I want to tie you to me
Oh, don't hesitate, you got the touch to set me free
I'm like a kid standing outside your door
You make me feel like never before
I feel the heat rising up in my soul
I'm burning out of control
Oh, break down this heat 'cause what you're doing just makes me weak
The way you stand there in your clothes, giving me a look like Edward G.
And then you start to shake the place
And then you lock on tight to the groove
Oh, I want to get it on, looking for the chance to make a move
Look into my heart for what you want
Saying that you will and then you won't
Look into my heart for what you want
Saying that you do and then you don't

You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way
You sneak upon a mean moon, that casts it's shadow too soon
When the spell is in tune, your shadow slips away

Good man gets the good wife, while bad boy's cleaning up his knife
And all I got is trouble and strife to help me on my way
You're running round to nowhere, someone said it might be there
But I'm telling you beware, the hand that fights you'll feed

Investigating downtown, Sergeant Gruesome got shot down
National Guard came all around, but couldn't find his knees
Mickey Mouse was all put out, Donald Duck began to shout
Rumors that were put about, said they would get theirs next

You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way

In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
Had to make a break
And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger,
feeling stronger
In my island of dreams,
with impossible schemes
- 간 주 중 -
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Had to make a break
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger,
feeling stronger
In my island of dreams,
with impossible schemes
- 간 주 중 -
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
- 간 주 중 -
Had to make a break
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger,
feeling stronger
In my island of dreams,
with impossible schemes

Capaldi

Flyin' over the sea,
Oh how I wish it could be me.
Seagull flyin' over the sea,
Oh how I wish that it could be me.
But I'm grounded here, just like a stone.
Just like a king, who's lost his throne.
Oh the seagull, if I had your wings.
I could do so many things.
Fly away over the sun. Fly away over the moon.
Seagull flyin' over the sea . Oh how I wish it could be me.

Fly away to some distant shore,
And never be afraid any more.
Seagull flyin' over the sea. Oh how I wish it could be me.
Seagull flyin' over the sea. Oh how I wish that I could be free.
Seagull please don't wear a frown.
When you're flying high and you look down.
Seagull when you look down on me
Seeing a man who just wants to be free.
Seeing a man who just wants to be free.
Seeing a man who just wants to be free.

'Til I find out, where will I go, where will I go
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where
The space is between my eyes
Open up the heavenly skies
Death awaits with pearly gates
Those who've been mesmerized
Many years has come and gone
Went to see a standing stone
Some in circles, some alone
Ancient, worn and weather torn
They chill me to the very bone
Many of these can be seen
In quiet places, fields of green
Of hedgerow lanes with countless names
But the only thing that remains are the roll right stones

[Chorus:]
Space age before my eyes
Opening up the skies
Devil waits at the pearly gates
For those wh have been mesmerized
Many a years has come and gone
But progress marches slowly on
In nature's paint, she hides the stain
Cause everybody is going insane
The only, the only thing that will sustain are the roll right stones
Roll right stones (7X)

[Chorus]

'Til I find out, where will I go, where will I go
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where
The space is between my eyes
Open up the heavenly skies
Death awaits with pearly gates
Those who've been mesmerized
Many years has come and gone
Went to see an ancient mound
People buried underground
Long ago, will never know
What it was like to hear their sounds
Black crow, I know you've been here
You've see the sights of yesteryear
You steal the grain of the conquered plain
But the only thing that remains are the roll right stones

[Chorus x2]

Don't be afraid love when the storm comes
We're gonna make it through on our own
Don't you, don't you ever let go of my love
Think about it, if you believe then it will be

We'll be riding high and we won't look down
See our spirits flying to that higher ground

Over and over oh, the storm raged
I held you in my arms to keep you warm
No, you, no, you never let go of my love
Through the darkness you were the light that shone on me

Every step I took through everything I've done
When the lightning struck you were the only one

Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too surprised if its just a paper sun

Ahh Paper Sun, Ahh Paper Sun

In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun

Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!

When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying
From your cheek have just begun
Dont be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun

Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun

Capaldi

Open your door so I can see your love
Open your heart so I can be a part
Of all you feel as you are me and me is you.

Loving you then the way I did before
Loving you now just makes me love you more
Each day I see that you are me and me is you.

Feeling love is true
Living love is real
How can I explain ?
Do you feel the same ?

Open your door so I can see your love
Open your heart so I can be a part
Of all you feel as you are me and me is you.

Loving you then the way I did before
Loving you now just makes me love you more
Each day I see that you are me and me is you.

Open your heart
Open your heart
...

Chaplin-Jolson

Oh how we danced on the night that we wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the sky
Except for the two that were there in your eyes.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love you so.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love ..

Oh how we danced on the night that we wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the sky
Except for the two that were there in your eyes.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love ..
Alright, come on.

Locked out of Eden for failing the test
They just can't live like all of the rest
Speakin' in tongues without any rhyme
Ragged outcasts on the wastelands of time

Easy rider coming down the road
Easy rider overload

Looking for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace
But nowhere is their freedom
Nowhere is their freedom

Red flames of fire reflect in her eye
Masked by the smoke that's floatin' on high
Seizin' the road, reaches the sky
Like a falcon, she just wants to fly

Dark clouds gather on the edge of the mist
Hear her laughter and she's gone

Lookin' for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace
Nowhere is their freedom
Nowhere is their freedom

There's always one more mountain to climb
But we are all lost, travelers in time
Long way from home

You always fear what you don't understand
Choosing to live in Disneyland
They polish the children, polish the grass
Definitely in a different class

All is magic on a mushroom ride
It's so tragic when you realize

Looking for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace
Nowhere is their freedom

Nowhere is their freedom, no
Nowhere is their freedom
Nowhere, no
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
No no no
Oh nowhere no nowhere

As time begins to burn itself upon me
And the days are growing very short
People try their hardest to reject me
But in a way, their conscience won't be caught

Something's happened to me day by day
My pebble on the beach is getting washed away
I've given everything that was mine to give
And now I'll turn around and find that there's no time to live

So often I have seen that big wheel of fortune
Spinning for the man who holds the ace
There's many that would change their places for him
But none of them have ever seen his lonely face

Something is happening to me day by day
My pebble on the beach is getting washed away
I've given everything that was mine to give
And now I'll turn around and find that there's no time to live

I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her
Well, I can't stop this feeling deep in inside me
Ruling my mind

I feel no sound
Don't know where I'm bound

The scenery is all the same to me
Nothing has changed or faded
I'm a part of it, some part of me
Painted cool green, and shaded
So, try to find myself must be the only way
To feel free

I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her
Well, I can't stop this feeling deep in inside me
Ruling my mind

I feel no sound
Don't know where I'm bound

The scenery is all the same to me
Nothing has changed or faded
I'm a part of it, some part of me
Painted cool green, and shaded
So, try to find myself must be the only way
To feel free

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
Call all my reindeer to graze here, call all my grain to grow
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

Many a thought unanswered, many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
And together we melt like the snow

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

A few more miles to go
Miles to freedom

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
Call all my reindeer to graze here, call all my grain to grow
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

Many a thought unanswered, many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
And together we melt like the snow

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

A few more miles to go
Miles to freedom

Well, you told me you were sorry, when I needed your advice
And I was too confused to see the meaning
Like Peter, you disowned me with a voice as cold as ice
And before the fire died and they were leaving.

I'm a means to an end and everybody's friend
To a rich man, poor man, beggar man or thief
From my heart I send a messenger to bend
And take your mind from agony and grief.

Oh, sweet silence without kings and queens
No one here has ever reached your centre
Better to be quiet than to speak without a thought
Or you may lose the meaning of your venture.

I'm a means to an end and everybody's friend
To a rich man, poor man, beggar man or thief
From my heart I send a messenger to bend
And take your mind from agony and grief.

Man with no country
Just a guitar and a love that he sung
(he only wants to see)

Man with no country
walking along down long dusty roads
(he wants to stay ahead of everything)

He's got to see new horizons each day
He'll never stay

Man with no country
Looks up and sees birds in the sky
(he wants to be so free to fly high)

Man with no country
Never looks back to that place that he´s coming from
(something inside him always moving on)

Though he'll remember the moments of making new friends each day
Still he won't stay

Man with no country
Comes into town and looks for a bar
(somwehere that he can play his acoustic guitar)

The girl at a moment sees him and says "I'd like the way that you


touch the strings
come play with me I'll give you everything"

But he's such in other things that will set him so free
(that's the way he knows it's got to be)
And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
He's a very lonely man

But he's such in other things that will set him so free
(that's the way he knows it's got to be)
It's gotta be
And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
He's a very lonely man

Capaldi

He's a rebel and an angel of the devil
You can't see him but he's always on the level
He's a driver, a survivor from the law, oh yeah
And if you cheat him, he will even up the score, oh.

He's a traveller, an unraveler of your mind, yeah
He's the high priest, freedom is his only shrine, oh
He's the shadow, he can see behind your eyes
He's got the power, he's like lightning from the skies.

He's a low rider, oh, hey hey,
I said low rider, oh oh oh oh, hey.

He's been down in the ground
He's been kicked and he's been pushed around
But now he's coming back, coming back to claim his crown, hey, alright.

Rider passed by, rider passed by the local sheriff, uh
Sheriff chased him, started chasing him with his gun
The rider lost him, lost him in the backstreets, oh yeah
Then he burned the town up, burned the town up just for fun.

Sheriff got mad, said : 'I'm gonna get thet rider'
He couldn't stand to see the rider running free
He told the deputy : 'Go 'round up, up the posse, oh'
He said to meet him outside Smokey Joe's Cafe.

The rider came down through the town
The sheriff's men they cut him down
Low rider, now they've finally got your crown.

I said : 'Ah!'.

Low rider, low rider ...

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart, it's not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a flower, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, oo love hurts

Some fools dream of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness


Some fools fool themselves, I guess, but they're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, oo love hurts

Some fools dream of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess, but they're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, love hurts, oo love hurts
Oo love hurts, yeah love hurts ....
