Your mother should know
written by Lennon/McCartney
main vocal by McCartney


Let's all get up and dance to a song
that was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know Your mother should know

Sing it again
Let's all get up and dance to a song
that was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know Your mother should know

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
that was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know Your mother should know
Your mother should know Your mother should know

Da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know Your mother should know
Your mother should know Your mother should know
Your mother should know Your mother should know

Yesterdays, yesterdays,
Days I knew as happy sweet sequestered days.
Olden days, golden days,
Days of mad romance and love.

Then gay youth was mine
Truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Then truth was mine
Sad am I, glad am I,
For today I'm dreaming of
Yesterdays.

I can't seem to learn not to love you,
You get to me every time.
You're someone I just can't say 'no' to,
And you're so good at changing my mind.

Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I've already been.
Even though I know where it will end,
Here I go down that wrong road again.

Though I see the web that you're weaving,
You and your soft easy lies,
If I stop to think I'm believing,
And I'm falling for you one more time.

Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I've already been,
Even though I know where it will end
Here I go down that wrong road again.

Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I've already been.
Even though I know where it will end,
Here I go down that wrong road again.

Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I've already been.
Even though I know where it will end,
Here I go down that wrong road again.

Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I've already been.
Even though ...

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career,
But you really can't function you're so full of fear.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling us still,
But first we must learn how to smile as we kill
If we want to live like the folks on the hill.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.

Shall I see tonight sister, bathed in magic greet
Shall we meet on the hilltop where the two roads meet.
We will form the circle, hold our hands and chant,
Let the great one know what it is we want.

Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,
Happy is our family, lonely is the ward.

Sister, we are waiting on the rock and chain
Fly fast through the airwaves, meet with pride and truth.

Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,
Happy is our family, lonely is the ward.

Father, we are waiting for you to appear.
Do you feel the panic, can you see the fear ?
Mother, we are waiting for you to give consent.
If there's to be a marriage, we need contempt.

Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,
Happy is our family, lonely is the ward.

La da da da da da, la la la la la .
La da da da da da, la la la la la .
La da da da da da, la la la la la
La da da da da da, la la la la la ...

Remember death is far away and life is sweet.

Think about it when you're out on the street
Think about it when you've nothing to eat
How could you fall so low from so high above.

Think about it when you're on your own
Think about it when you're leaving home
You didn't see it coming, the velvet glove.

Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.

Think about it from the other side
Realise you've got nothing to hide
There's no one left alive to give you away.

Night moves in mystery,
What else do you want to be ?
Did no one ever show you the way ?

Just found out on the wilder shores of love
Just found out what you did before
On the wilder shores of love.

Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out what you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.

Ican feel your dangerous love around me.
Do I want to go in there again ?
When all I wanted was for you to drown me
And love was there to make me go insane.

I remember all the lies you told me,
Shut my eyes and always you appear.
I can't forget the way you used to haunt me,
I can't forget the love that wasn't there.

Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.

So far out on the wilder shores of love
So far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.

When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak,
I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
And twisted around for a whole fucking week.
Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you let that trash
Get a hold of your cock, get stoned on my hash ?

Why'd ya do it she said, why'd you let her suck your cock ?
Oh, do me a favour, don't put me in the dark.
Why'd ya do it, she said, they're mine all your jewels,
You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools.

Why'd ya do it, she said, when you know it makes me sore,
'Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny and I believe in giving to the poor.
Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you spit on my snatch ?
Are we out of love now, is this just a bad patch ?

Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did ?
You drove my ego to a really bad skid.

Why'd you do it, she said, ain't nothing to laugh,
You just tore all our kisses right in half!

Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd ya do what you did,
Betray my little oyster for such a low bitch.

Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did ?
You drove my ego to a really bad skid.

Why'd ya do it, she screamed, after all we've said
Every time I see your dick I see her cunt in my bed.

The whole room was swirling,
Her lips were still curling.

Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did
Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did
Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd ya do it, she said,
Why'd you do what you did ?

Oh, big grey mother, I love you forever
With your barbed wire pussy and your good and bad weather.
Why'd ya do it, she said, whyc1

Ah, I feel better now.

Oh, I will free the bird in me
Oh, when I find my life.
What I always knew could be
Oh, when I find my life.
I will see the truth in me
Oh, when I find my life.
Oh, when I find my life.

I will let go the pain
Oh, when I find my life.
I will reach beyond the strain
Oh, when I find my life.
Fear of lost and fear of pain
Oh, when I find my life.
Oh, when I find my life.

I remember all the games of shame
And all the lies you told me.
I have worked so hard to learn
And flunked so far in my attempts to let it go by, dear.

And it's so easy
I just opened my eyes.
And it's so hard
To let go.

Oh, I will free the bird in me
Oh, when I find my life.
I will we what I wanna be
Oh, when I find my life.
I am here and I am free.
Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.
Oh, when I find my life.
Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, I will free the bird in me
Oh, when I find my life.
What I always knew could be
Oh, when I find my life.
I will see the truth in me

What's the worry, what's the hurry,
Do you hear me, do you fear me ?
You've got the message, you read the story,
You want the power, you need the glory.

Clocks break, time goes by,
Hot sake along the fly,
She laughs on a spin,
He laughs, turns you in.

What's the panic, where's the static,
Do you see me, could you meet me ?
I heard the rumour, you've got my number,
But now I see you run for cover.

So you thought you had it made,
Ain't it easy to be afraid,
Feel the pressure, take the bait,
Here it comes again.

Clock breaks, time goes by,
Hot sake along the fly,
She laughs on a spin,
He laughs, turns you in.

Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound.
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain ?

Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain ?

Just a little breeze out of the sky,
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by.
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain ?

Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain ?
And what have they done to the rain ?

What have I done wrong ?

It seems I've hurt you once again,
I try so hard but all in vain.
Tears in your eyes you can't disguise,
But please forgive me if you can.
What have I done wrong ?

I hate to make you suffer so,
I'm not a child and I should know
Where laughing ends and tears begin
And I must seem so cruel to you.

Come, let me kiss your tender lips
And you will see our love can be.
What have I done wrong ?

You turn away when I am here
And yet I know you need not fear.
If I had time to ease your mind
I'd let you know how much I care.
What have I done wrong ?

Want to buy some illusions
Slightly used, second-hand ?
They were lovely illusions,
Reaching high, built on sand.
They had a touch of paradise,
A spell you can't explain,
For in this crazy paradise
You are in love with pain.

Want to buy some illusions
Slightly used, just like new ?
Such romantic illusions,
And they're all about you.
Too bad they all fell apart
Like dreams often do.
They were lovely illusions,
But they just wouldn't come true.



Slightly used, just like new,
Such romantic illusions
And they're all about you.
I'd sell them all for a penny,
They make pretty souvenirs.
Take my lovely illusions,
Some for laughs, some for tears.

On this next song, I'm using the translation, a new translation done by one of my best, best, best, best friends in ireland, the playwriter and poet, frank mcguinness, and he did a new translati
The threepenny opera about four or five years ago, and I played pirate jenny in that production at the gate theatre in dublin. and I love this translation, I think it's so exceptional. in this
Jenny who is a prostitute and a waitress in a, in a, in a shitty hotel, er, obviously on the docks, and, and macheath is her pimp, is imagining, is having a fantasy of what she would do to thos
Oppress her if she could.

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of johanna that conquer my mind.

Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But mona lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "jeeze
I can't find my knees"


Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "name me someone who's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like louise always says
"ya can't look at much, can ya man ? "
As she, herself, prepares for him
And madonna, she still hasn't showed
We see the empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps on the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish trucks that load
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of johanna are now all that remain.

Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please.
I drink and I take drugs, I love sex and I move around a lot,
I had my first baby at fourteen,
And yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways.
Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways.

Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please,
I think you've made a mistake, I'm fine and I don't need people,
You don't understand all my choices,
But yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways,
Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways.

Please, don't lock me up,
Please, let me stay free.
If you let me go I promise I'll never come back,
I'll take a ship across the sea.
I'm young and poor, and yes I'm afraid,
But I'll stay myself and keep my vagabond ways.

It was a long time ago, they took her child away and she was sterelized.
She died of the drink and the drugs
And yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways,
Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways,
Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways.

Where did it go to, my youth?
Where did it fade away to?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth we didn't want to know?

What is it, do you know?
What is it, can I bear it?
Who did it, do I care?
Who is it, when did it happen, and where?

Why did you let me know?
How could you think I'd stand it?
You knew I'd pay you back.

They killed him, did you see?

They knew he couldn't take it.
They wanted lies, he said the truth.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
The sun will shine
In my back door some day

Trouble in mind, that's true
I have almost lost my mind
Life ain't worth living
Sometimes I feel like dying

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
Let the 2:19 train
Ease my trouble in mind

Trouble, oh trouble
Trouble's on your worried mind
When you see me laughing, baby
I'm laughing just to keep from crying

I'm going down to the river
I'm gonna take my old rocking chair
And if those blues overtake me
I'm gonna rock on away from there

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
My poor heart is beating slow
Never had no trouble
In my life before

Never had no trouble
In my life before

Well my friends have gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
In the Tower of Song.

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get ?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I can hear him coughing all night long
About a hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song.

I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
They just tied me to this table right here
In the Tower of Song.

Well you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing near the window where the light is strong
Oh they don't let a woman kill you
Not in the Tower of Song.

I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never , we'll never have to lose it again.

Well I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
In the Tower of Song.
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
In the Tower of Song.
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
In the Tower of Song.

In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the fast talk
Watch 'don't walk' to 'walk'
Easy when you're dreaming
Staring at the movies
Standing in a circle,
Laughing at the wrong time.

If alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.

In a car taking a back seat
Staring out the window
Thinking about danger.
Playing in a wrong world
Fighting ??징??쨘 but I'm not free.
Talking on the telephone
Talking about you and me.



If jesus christ could take me here
I'd fall dawn on my knees,
Have no questions to his answers.

Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.

Alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.

And if I die gaining my senses
Wake up in a hotel
Staring at the ceiling.

The wind laughs and the world cries,
And I don't care anymore.
I can only hear the sound of my head,
And the soft sea roar.
For the wind laughs and the world cries
And I shall laugh with the wind.

Today will end when the sun will rise
When I shall laugh to your blind eyes.
The world can break
And time takes time to realise.
For the wind laughs, the world cries
And I shall laugh with the wind.

I shall laugh like a child in the wind and change
As love for me has always been strange.

The wind laughs and the world cries,
But I don't care anymore.
I can only hear the sound of my head,
And the soft sea roar.
For the wind laughs and the world cries
And I shall laugh with the wind.

This time
If you want me to come back
It's up to you,
But remember
I want a lot other things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line.
This time will be the last time.

This time
If I should feel unwanted
I won't stay.
Each tomorrow
Will depend on the love you give today.
It's all up to you to stand by.
This time will be the last time.

If this time should be
Anything like the other time
This time will be the last time.

This time
If you want me to come back
It's up to you,

I want a lot of things you used to do.

If this time should be
Anything like the other time

There's a little bird
Somebody sent down to Earth
To live along the wind
Blowing on the wind
And she sleeps on the wind
This little bird, somebody sent

Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes

Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes

Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
And the only time that she touches ground
Is when that little bird, little bird

Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird dies -

They never will leave you
The pain and the sorrow
Of love that one day maybe
You will learn

Can only be shared by you
And how much I yearn
The days that we once knew
Will never return.

They never will leave
The rain and the storms
The snow and the winds
That guide you depart.

They took you far away
Right out of my life.
They condemned us and
They'd stolen my heart.

They never will leave you,
My hopes or my memories.
I've lost all my loving,
Got nowhere to turn.

My happiness with you
Has drowned in my tears,
The tears that will fall until
The day you return.

The tears that will fall until
The day you return.
The tears that will fall until
The day you return.

There is a ghost
And it goes out
On the land
On the land
It's lifted up
It feels and flows
On many hands
On many hands

Oh, my lover
Oh, my lover
Never was there another
Where has my loverman
Gone

There is a dream
You've had before
And forgot many times
So many times

When you remember who I am
Just call
When you remember who I am


Just call
When you remember who I am
Just call
When you remember who I am

There is a tree
Its leaves have gone
For what it seem
It stands alone

Oh, my lover
Oh, my lover
Gonna, gonna find another
Where has my loverman
Gone

Away
Away
Across the land
Across the land
Across the land

"When you marry you will change,"
Said the woman to the man.
"When I marry I will change you,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and were happy.
They were happy for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.

"When I marry I will be you,"
Said the woman to the man.
"When you marry you'll be someone,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and were someone.
They were someone for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.

"When you leave me you'll be sorry,"
Said the woman to the man.
"When you leave me I will haunt you,"
Said the woman to the man.
So he left her and was haunted.
They were haunted for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.

"When I left him I was happy,"
Said the woman to the child.
"When I left him I was happy,"
Said the woman to her child.
So I left him and was happy,
I was happy with his child.
"You won't know him when you meet him,"
Said the woman to the child.
"You won't know him if you meet him,"
Said the woman to the child.
But he met him and said, "Father,
You were father for a time,
I just wondered who you were in my mind."
"Well, I told you he's your father,"
Said the woman to the child.
"Well, I knew it, you would love him,"
Said the woman to her child.
And I loved him and I loved him
And was happy with our child.
What was it that made you
Treat us so unkind ?
"What's the problem, why 're you crying ?"
Said the woman to the man.
"He's your father, he's your father,"
Said the woman to her son.
"He's the problem, he's my father,
He was father for a time."
"When I die I'll be with him,"
Said the woman to her son.
"When I die you'll forgive me,"
Said the woman to the man.
So she did and was buried,
Buried with him for all time.
"When I love you we will marry,"
Said the woman to the man,
"And our children will have children,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and had children,
They had children for all time.

I wish I could dance like Fontaine,
Floating along on a breeze,
But when you come home
And I get you alone
I wish that I could put you at ease.

I wish I could sing you a love song,
Sing about the silvery moon,
But the things that you say
When I think it's OK
Always seem to sing out of tune.

Oh, I'm not the way
That you want me to be,
No, it's not like me,
No, it's not like me.

You say I should dress like a Lady,
Read all the best magazines,
But the people in there
And the clothes that they wear,
Take it from the girl of your dreams.

You wish I could be a show-piece
Something to show all your friends
Is it true what they say,
That I get in your way ?
Is this about the place that it ends ?

I'm not the way
That you want me to be,
No, it's not like me,
No, it's not like me.

I wish I could dance like Fontaine,
Floating along on the breeze
And when you come home
And I get you alone
I wish that I could put you at ease.

The stars line up
The stars line up for me tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see who we are, baby,
And write our names
High up inside the sky.

The stars line up
The stars line up for me tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see what we know, baby,
And write our names
High up inside the sky.

I lined them up for you
The time is clear
What else is there to do ?

The stars line up
The stars line up for us tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see who we are, baby.
Let's write our names
High up inside the sky.

I hope you know
I hope you know the way I feel
I want you so.

I hope you know the way I feel
I feel about you, baby.
Let's write our names
High up inside the sky.

The sun was red and the fires were roarin'
Stars aligned and our webs were spun
I could've sworn I heard my spirit soarin'
Guess, I'm always chasin' the sun
Hopin' we will soon be one
'Til it turns around to me and I try to run

On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated
The fires froze and the sea was hushed
And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded
And the war will rage in my guts
Till the devil bites the dust
I never saw him losin' a race, but I think he must

The great storm raged and the power kept growin'
Dragons rose from our land below
And even now I wonder where I'm goin'
Ever since a long time ago
I've tried to let my feelings show
I'd like to think I'm insincere, but I'll never know

When you're not by my side
The world's in two, and I'm a fool

When you're not in my sight
Then everything, just fades from view

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Tell me, have you changed your mind?
Am I a fool, because of you?

Tell me, do we still have time?
To make this wrong somehow be right

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Show me sweetness, show me summer skies
Show me how to make this wrong seem right
Show me laughter in your pale blue eyes
Tell me, tell me have you changed your mind?

Day after day alone on the hill The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him They can see that he's just a fool And he never seem to notice But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Well on the way, his head in a cloud The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appears to make And he never seems to notice But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Oh, round, round, round, round, round And nobody seems to like him they can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Oh, round, round, round, round, round And he never listen to them He knows that they're the fools But they don't like him The fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Oh, round, round, round, round, round oh

You've seen him
In the undirected light of street dreams
Doing nothing ?
Standing, like to seem casual
With a resemblance to people held by fear.
Lit by fire and disrepair.
The blue millionaire.

Don't listen and keep asking ?
Only stories reach this far.
No one's left and no one's coming
And I will disappear
Far away from you,
The American wind,
And the blue millionaire.

Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.

There is no such thing as the Wrong Man
Blue as the dusk that ended my day
And shut off the light and air.

I wish I could tell you
How he put them in cages,
Found you where you slept.
Got me down with something else than bruises

Tied me to a blue chair
Lit by fire and disrepair
The blue millionaire.

Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.

Seen him drinking gin from pale blue bottles,
Drowning in shadow,
Shadows moving in.
Forever imagine
Imagine it's him
Nearby the window
With dreams broken in.

I don't laugh anymore ? or smile,
I am lost in the body,
The passion of time.
He is screening my dreams
And everything that's mine.
Don't stay in this mirror
Other hands have left me in.
You don't blow away as I do.
It will be the same again.
Turn and point away from here.
Steal what you cannot win
From the blue millionaire.

Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.

Blue millionaire.
Blue millionaire.
Blue ...

I've noticed how few emotions stand the test of time.
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine.

Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness,
Tenderness.
Tenderness,
Tenderness.

It's funny how romance fails us, giving way to love.
You look around, feel your freedom ???? you're a slave to love.

Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness ???? spirit moves me
Tenderness ???? try to show me
Tenderness ???? come on show me
Tenderness ???? feelings grow and change.

I've noticed how few emotions stand the test of time.

Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness ???? really moves me
Tenderness ???? try to show me
Tenderness ???? come on show me
Tenderness ???? feelings grow and change.

Don't think that because I don't know what's happening
That I ain't achin' ...
I never thought you would be showin'
Just what you been takin'.
It's not as simple as that
Don't think I don't know just when my heart's breakin' ?

I ain't chosen ???? I ain't chosen
I ain't chosen ???? chosen ???? chosen ???? chosen ???? chosen.

It doesn't matter to you anyhow.

I had just turned sixteen that season
When you came up from Burma to stay.
And you told me I ought to travel with you,
You were sure it would be OK.
When I asked how you earned your living,
I can still hear what you said to me:
You had some kind of job on the railway
And had nothing to do with the sea.

You said a lot, Johnny,
All one big lie, Johnny.
You cheated me blind, Johnny,
From the minute we met.
I hate you so, Johnny,
When you stand there grinning, Johnny.
Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat.

Surabaya Johnny,
No one's meaner than you.
Surabaya Johnny,
My God and I still love you so.
Surabaya Johnny,
Why am I feeling so blue ?
You have no heart, Johnny,
And I still love you so.

At the start, every day was Sunday,
Till we went on our way one fine night.
And before two more weeks were over,
You thought nothing I did was right.
So we trekked up and down through the Punjab,
From the source of the river to the sea.
When I look at my face in the mirror,
There's an old woman staring back at me.

You didn't want love, Johnny,
You wanted cash, Johnny.
But I sewed your lips, Johnny,
And that was that.
You wanted it all, Johnny,
I gave you more, Johnny.
Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat.

Surabaya Johnny.
No one's meaner than you.
Surabaya Johnny.
My God and I still love you so.
Surabaya Johnny,
Why am I feeling so blue ?
You have no heart, Johnny.
And I still love you so.

I would never have thought of asking
How you'd got that peculiar name,
But from one end of the coast to the other
You were known everywhere we came.
And one day I

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't
matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think
it's
not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when
it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I
disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Will you take me across the channel,
London bridge is falling down.
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown.
And he's the rain that they predicted,
It's the forecast every time.
The rose has died because you picked it
An' I believe that brandy's mine.

And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same.

The word is getting flatter,
The sky is falling all around.
And nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town.
And a love like ours, my dear,
Is best measured when it's down.
And I never buy umbrellas,
For there's always one around.



And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same.

And you know that it's beginning,
And you know that it's the end
When once again we are strangers
And the fog comes rolling in.

And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same.

I should have known
You were a strange one.
You should have said
That you don't like to love.
But you never told me no lies.
Don't have to apologise.
When everything's said and done,
I was the strange one.

You should have said
I don't want to love.
But I never told you no lies.
I don't want to apologise,
When everything's said and done,
What can I do ????
That boy's in love with you.

I should have seen it coming,
I should have known what to expect.
I could be off and running,
Looking for my respect.
You don't need to criticise,
You never did realise,
When everything's said and done,
You were a strange one.

You were a strange one.
You were a strange one.
You were a strange one.

Where I walk
And life is warm
Sun and breath
Hopefully here
All our hearts are blessed.

Texas real
A woman sworn to man
Here I tried,
Here I tried
To be the best.

So hot it's white and real to me
I'd stay awake all night
Asking your silent sympathy.

I know something new,
Southern Butterfly and you.
I know something new,
Southern Butterfly with you.

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to look, time to care
Someday, somewhere

We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a place for us, a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere

We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a time for us, a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere, somewhere

Somewhere

In my solitude you haunt me
With memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send me back my love

In my solitude you haunt me
With memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

Send back my love

And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send me back my love

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Treading the waves,
Come in from harm.
How could you regret your other words ...
Hoping for thrills ???? free as a bird ...

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

There's a knock at the door,
I get up ???? let you in.
Travelled and stained,
Soaked to the skin.
Welcome my darling, you got here at last ...
Come and sit by the fire ???? forget what's past.

So sad, so sad,
So sad, so sad.

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.

It is safe to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
And to seek life under stones
In a place water flows.

It is best to find in sleep
The missing pieces that you lost
Best that you refuse to weep
Ash to ash, dust to dust.

It is strange to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
Strange to shelter under stones
In a place water flows.

It is safe to walk with me
Where you can read the sky and stars,
Safe to walk upon the sea
In my sleep we can go far.

all the clean white sheets stain red.

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar playing friend do my request."

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Oh please take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I remember Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
They came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers "There's a song my mama sang.
Won't you sing it once before I move along?"

Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Please take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

Won't you sing me back home before I die

I don't like old satan
None of his tempting charms.
Cheat you at your Jesus now
And roll you in his arms.

In the end will it matter that you've gone&nbsp;?
In the end will I go on minding that you've gone&nbsp;?
Will the night always seem so long,
Is it really darkest before dawn&nbsp;?
Will I see whiskey as a Mother In the end&nbsp;?

In the end will I smash my brains with drinking
Till I fall down on the floor,
Will I hiccup and jabber,
Saying things I never meant&nbsp;?
Will I kiss and cry and wake to find
A sordid stranger by my bed&nbsp;?
Will the world shake its sensible head
And say the words that have to be said:
"She's got a problem."

Every problem has a solution in the end
And solutions must be final
For help gets so unhelpful near the end.

When I take my last ride
Down the big dipper slide,
Will I care, will it matter
If the world should say:
"She had a problem."

She had a problem.
She had a problem.

In the end will it matter that you've gone&nbsp;?
In the end will I go on minding that you've gone&nbsp;?
Will the night always seem so long,
Is it really darkest before dawn&nbsp;?
Will I see whiskey as a Mother
In the end&nbsp;?

My young love said to me, "My brothers won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
Then she turned her head to me and this she did say
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

She turned away from me and she moved through the fair
And I watched her so swiftly move here and move there
Then she turned away homeward with one star awake
Like a swan in the evening moves over the lake

Last night, I did dream that my dead love come in
So softly she entered that her feet made no din
And she turned her head to me and this she did say
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

She lives alone with no one
Who can see she's unhappy.
She knows what she lost,
Still she is waiting for more.

She could be living in hell
And not know someone loves her.
What can she do,
What is she waiting for ?

The day turns to night
He just can't find the right words to tell her
Twisting and turning and looking for
Something to say.

If you would let me hold you
I wouldn't walk away
That's what he wants,
That's what he wants to say.

What can she lose,
What is she waiting for ?

He knows when she cries
And he saw through the lies that she told him.
She's dreaming and planning
Of how she could ask him to stay.

If you would let me love you,
I wouldn't be the same.
Please can we try,
Please can we try again ?

She lives alone with no one
Who can see she's unhappy.
She knows what she lost,
Still she is waiting for more.

So, Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothing's really holy
No one, no one hears your calling
Falling, everything is falling

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

So, Jesus left you lonely
Feels like nothing's really holy
No one, no one hears your calling
Falling, everything is falling

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

Try so hard just to speak to you
Nothing ever seems to come through
Circumstances on the breaking back
Try to sit down is a therapy

Oh, salvation, oh, salvation
Oh, salvation, oh, salvation

Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Can you feel alive?

You saw the wise man salomon,
You know what 'came of him.
To him the world seemed clear as day,
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign,
He knew that everything was dust.

How great and wise was salomon!
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such wisdom's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such clarity.

You saw divine cleopatra,
You know what 'came of her.
Two emperors died to serve her lust,
She whored herself to death, yes she did,
And withered into lovely dust.

How beautiful great babylon.
Watch out, the world is spinning fast


The night will fall, the price we'll pay,
Such beauty's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such luxury.

Behold the man, the bold macheath,
The end's in sight, I fear.
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
All's come to nought and turned to dust.

How sad the heart when it has won.
Watch out the world is spinning fast,
The night will fall, the price we'll pay.
Such whoring's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise sweet chastity.

I'd like to introduce my friend, my musical director and accompanist, mr. paul trueblood. please, come on!

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what's making you sad, Li&nbsp;?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me,
'Cause you know that's how it must be.
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

Her eyes like windows trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall,
Lost in her hall she can't hear me,
Though I know she likes to be near me.
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

She sits in her corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her.
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know no-one can see her.
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

Move along staying close to the wall
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine.
And put your hand in mine.

Are we in danger, or is it that
You think we might be ?
But I think I'd like to get out of here,
This place it frightens me,
This place it frightens me.

[Chorus]
Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far. [Repeat: x3]

Stop pretending
This is a child's adventure,
The only way I can take it
Is playing the game.

Be quiet, there's a gate ahead.
Do you think we can make it ?
Will it be different, or just the same ?
How long can we keep escaping [Repeat: x3]
Into another prison ?

[Chorus]

Move along staying close to the wall,
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine
And put your hand in mine.

[Chorus]

We never get very far. [Repeat: x3]
We never get

Move along staying close to the wall
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine.
And put your hand in mine.

Are we in danger, or is it that
You think we might be ?
But I think I'd like to get out of here,
This place it frightens me,
This place it frightens me.

[Chorus]
Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far. [Repeat: x3]

Stop pretending
This is a child's adventure,
The only way I can take it
Is playing the game.

Be quiet, there's a gate ahead.
Do you think we can make it ?
Will it be different, or just the same ?
How long can we keep escaping [Repeat: x3]
Into another prison ?

[Chorus]

Move along staying close to the wall,
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine
And put your hand in mine.

[Chorus]

We never get very far. [Repeat: x3]
We never get

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues,
Got shoes and money, good friends, too.
I always play to win, and always seem to lose,
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.

And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.
And I know just exactly what's on your mind,
You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.

But I'm wondering why, girl, should I ask your name
All the people standing by, are they in my game&nbsp;?
Love is just a story, a story without words,
Words are even never seen and never even heard.

And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.
And I know just exactly what's on your mind,
You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues
Got shoes and money, good friends, too.
I always play to win, always seem to lose,
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.

That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.

And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.

You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.
