"The Secret Garden"

 (Sweet Seduction Suite)

Quincy Jones

Tell me your secret
I don't just want to know
About any secret of yours
I wanna know about
One special secret (oh)

 

Because tonight I want you
To learn all about the
Secrets in your garden

 

I wanna read your mind
Know your deepest feelings
I wanna make it right for you
Baby, show me, let me
Share the mystery, ohh

 

Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Listen to your heart tonight

Come on, come on
Come on, make it alright, yeah
Come on, come on tonight

 

I know a melody
We can sing together
I've got the secret key
To you, baby
Let's make music
Harmonize in ecstasy

 

Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on and sing it to me

 

Here in the garden where
Temptations feel so right
Passion can make you fall
From what you feel

 

In the garden (hoooo)
We can make it come alive
(We can make it come alive)
Every night (every single night)
Oh, your secret garden (hoooo)

 

Oh, baby
I need to be with you
Let me lay beside you
Do what you want me to
All night

 

Wanna hold you, ooh, baby
Can I touch you there

Come on, come on
Come on, come on
I can keep you satisfied, baby

 

Come on, come on, come on
Oowee, oowee, baby
Please, baby, oh, darling
Come on, come on tonight

 

I'll take good care of you
That's what a man is
Supposed to do
And I'll be there for you
All the time

 

Let your hair down
Let me get you in the mood

 

Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Take me, take me with you

 

Into the garden where
Temptation feel so right
Passion can make you fall
From what you feel

 

In the garden, we can
Make it come alive
Every night
Oh, woman
Here in the garden

 

You know I never
Wanted anyone
I never wanted anyone
As much as I
As much as I want you

 

I want you to show me
I want you to tell me
I want to feel all the secrets

 

If you think I am
Gonna take care of you
If you think I have
Got what you need
Show you right

 

And I want to take our time
Because we have all night

 

If you think I am
Gonna be good to you
If you think I
Like what you do
Show you right

 

Oh, gonna be so
Good to you, baby
Oowee, owee, baby

If you think I am
Gonna take care of you
If you think I have
Got what you need

Show you right

Let me find your secrets

 

If you think I am
Gonna be good to you
If you think I
Like what you do
Show you right

 

Show you right
Baby, you know

 

If you think I am
Gonna take care of you
If you think I have
Got what you need
Show you right

 

How does that feel

 

If you think I am
Gonna be good to you
If you think I
Like what you do
Show you right

 

Oh, show you right

 

If you think I am
Gonna take care of you
If you think I have
Got what you need
Show you right

[Chorus]

Songwriters: MICHAEL JACKSON

There Is Nothing

without love &
even less with-
out respect.

Never Thought

IT would go
so wrong but
that's how
illusions roll.

Hate Requires

blame & none
have more influence
than the econ royalty
who, via their control
of Media are master
@ blaming the 'other',
as if 'they' have any
influence, any 1
just not them as they
continue to plunder.

Trump Claims

that fake news Is
the enemy of the
people such as
GOP TV (fox)
hate radio &
numerous web
sites, (that He
supports), while he
& they are the
enemy of facts
/ truth.

When A Company

has a Town with the
same name the doers /
makers lose; now We
are Inc.

"You Can Scream

 and shout with all your might, (march)
Dig in your heels and hold on tight

You speak the lines you've overheard
The ring of truth in every word
You know you're right and that's absurd

We really seem to have a problem(s) here

Now we really have a problem
And it won't just disappear..."

(It's Not a matter of opinion but
of understanding the facts)

David Gilmour

"Out of the Blue"

 

David Gilmour

Out of the blue on the wings of a dove
A messenger comes, with the beating of drums
It's not a message of love

 

Our children are born, and we keep them warm
They must have the right, to live in the light
To be safe from the storm

 

Out of the blue, with wings on his heels
A messenger comes, bearing regrets
For the time that he steals

 

But steal it he will, my children's and mine
Against our desires, against all our needs
Our blood spilled like wine

 

Over and over we call, no one hears
And further and further and further we fall
And though we pray that we soon will awake
It is clear, that it's no dream at all
Our lives are at stake

 

I cannot believe, nor even pretend
That the thunder I hear, will just disappear
And the nightmare will end

 

So hold back the fire, because this music is true
When all's said and done, the ending will come
From out of the blue

 

Songwriters: DAVID JON GILMOUR

We Can Turn

back the page
just never go
back

it's what happens
when we stretch
our self past the
point of no return.

"...You Came

"Don't Let It Show"

 

Alan Parsons, The Alan Parsons Project

If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go

 

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me

 

Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show

 

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there

 

But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you

 

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it,
Don't let it show

 

Songwriters: ALAN PARSONS, ERIC WOOLFSON

What Is The

difference between
not having '?' &
not letting 'it' show?

We Didn't Fall

"Gemini"

 

The Alan Parsons Project

Watching waiting rising falling
Listening calling drifting
Touching feeling seeing believing
Hoping sending leaving
I couldn't say why you and I are gemini
If I tried to write a million words a day
I see your shadow coming closer
Then watch you drifting away

 

Watching Waiting rising falling
Listening calling drifting
Touching feeling seeing believing
Hoping Sending leaving
I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini

We are travelling a million worlds away
I see your Shadow coming closer
Then watch you drifting away

"A Sign Of The Ages"

 

Gil Scott-Heron

It's a sign of the ages
Markings on my mind
Men at the crossroads
At odds with an angry sky

 

There can be no salvation
There can be no rest
Until all old customs
Are put to the test

 

The gods are all angry
You hear from the breeze
As night slams like a hammer
Yeah, and you drop to your knees

 

The questions can't be answered
You're always haunted by the past
The world's full of children
Who grew up too fast

(or not @ all)

 

Yeah, but where can you run
Since there ain't no world of your own
And you know that no one will ever miss you, yeah yeah yeah
When you're finally gone

 

So you cry like a baby, a baby
Or you go out and get high
But there ain't no peace on Earth, man
Maybe peace when you die, yeah

 

Songwriters: BRIAN JACKSON, GIL SCOTT-HERON

Since You

there will not
be an after
you for my ever
be it with or
with out you.

Some Want To

build walls
to keep us
'safe' from ?
while we live
behind the walls
that hold us down.

The Soul

of capitalism
is insatiable
greed.

Proximate

events are often
not cause & effect
rather random
precision; while
disparate events
are the effect of
the cause (ends).

Love The Language

a tune, so
tune-in or
drop-out
it's up to
us.

If We Are

we can try the

"You Put A Move On My Heart"

 

Quincy Jones

Baby I just want you to understand
Just exactly how you make me feel
Ooo, oo yeah
I want to feel you next to me, oooo

 

Time after time, when I'm feelin' low
Something inside of me, lets me know
It's alright, love's on my side
When the world, seems a lonely place
I've got a dream that won't leave a trace, of the blues
I just think of you, baby I know

 

[Chorus]
I've got a real thing, here by my side
Someone who needs me, holding me tight
And these special feelings, won't ever fade
Cause I knew, I knew from the start
You put a move on my heart

 

Baby our love's, like a melody
Playing for us in the sweetest key
You could find, the music of life
And when we touch
There's the warmest glow
Heat in the passion that heaven knows, is a dream
Just for you, you and me
And baby I know

 

[Chorus]

 

I've got a real love, yes I do
And you're someone baby, you're someone baby
You're someone that needs a true love
And these, these special feelings, time can't erase
Baby, believe me
This is a dream and suga
I knew, I knew from the start
You put a move on my me, ooo, you got through to my heart, yeah
You got through to my heart baby, oh yeah
 

Baby can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (Hold me baby)
Put your hand in mine, love me 'til the end of time
Hold me, love me (Hold me baby, and don't let go)
 

Baby can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (I want you to touch me the right way)
Put your hand in mine, love me till the end of time
Hold me, love me
 

Hold me, love me
(I want you right here, right now, lay by my side, suga thrill me tonight)
Hold me, love me (I want to feel you in my arms babe)
 

Baby can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (Oh and you know, when I love, when you're lovin' me)
Put your hand in mine, love me til the end of time
Hold me, love me
 

(Mmm, come closer)
Baby can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me
(I want to feel your body pressed against mine)
Put your hand in mine, love me til the end of time
Hold me, love me
(Mm, that's right, right there, oh)

"To Turn You On"

 

Roxy Music

I could show you in a word
If I wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school
It's so easy, believe me
When you need fun

(all we can get by looking for it)

 

I do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
Is it raining in New York
On Fifth Avenue

 

And off Broadway after dark
Love the lights don't you
I could walk you through the park
If you're feeling blue
Or whatever

 

Spring Summer whenever
Winter through Fall
I'd do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
I could leave you as you were
If I wanted to

( neither will be how we were before us)

 

Then I wonder is it fair
Now you're on your own
Who cares about you
Except me, God help me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you
Must phone me, you know me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you on

"Why Can't We Live Together"

 

Sade

Tell me why tell me why tell me why
Umm why can't we live together
Tell me why tell me
Umm why can't we live together
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
 

No more war no more war no more war
Umm just a little peace
No more war no more war all we want
Is some peace in this world
 

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
(illusion of profits & mental illness)
 

No matter no matter what color
Umm you are still my brother
I said no matter no matter what color
Umm you are still my brother
 

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
 

Everybody wants to live
Everybodys got to be together
Ooh everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together
 

Ooh Ooh laaa laa laa laa
Everybodys got to be together
Everybody wants to be together
 

I said no matter no matter what color
Umm you are still my brother
I said no matter no matter what color
You are still my brother
 

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

Goitta live together
Together!

"The Language of Life"

Everything but the Girl

 

I know you'd rather talk instead about the
Things inside your head, but everything, everything,
That I overheard, tells me you just don't have the words.
Cause you never learned to speak the language

Of life, and here you are a grown man who can't talk
To his wife. And the children you don't understand.
You think you're come on pretty far, still
Got the job, the house and the car. But there's one
Thing, one thing that you never get -a grip on life?

Sweet alphabet. Cause you never learned to speak the
Language of life, and here you are a grown man who
(starting with Pachamama)
Can't talk to his wife.
And when things get out of hand, and the kids you

Don't understand, love is foreign land. Over words
You have no command, you have no command
But it's not that you don't care
Admit it baby,
And you're half way there. Cause you know, you know
That you feel much more than you ever have the words for.

Cause you never learned to speak the language of life,
And here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife,
And the children you just don't understand.

"More Than This"

 

Roxy Music

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

 

More than this, there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there is nothing

 

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

 

More than this, there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there is nothing

Songwriters: BRYAN FERRY

"Love Is A Rose"

Neil Young

Love is a rose
but you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and
you'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
when you say the word "mine".

I wanna see what's never been seen,
I wanna live that age old dream.
Come on, lads, we can go together
Let's take the best right now,
Take the best right now.

I wanna go to an old hoe-down
Long ago in a western town.
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin'
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.

Love is a rose
but you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and
you'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
when you say the word "mine".
Mine, mine.

Love is a rose, love is a rose.
Love is a rose, love is a rose.

"Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through"

 

Meat Loaf

You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start.
You want to shut out the night

 

You want to shut down the sun

 

you want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart.

 

Think of how we'd lay down together

 

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong.
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods.
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

 

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it

 

You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it.
I treasure your love

 

I want to show you how to use it

 

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it.

 

Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true.
When you're alone and afraid and you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do

 

Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby:

 

There's always something magic

 

There's always something new

 

And when you really
really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through.
The beat is yours forever
the beat is always new

 

And when you really
really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through . . . for you.

 

I treasure you love
. . .

Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true.
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do.
Keep on believing and you'll discover baby:
10

 

There's always something magic
. . .

The beat is yours forever -
That's when rock and roll dreams come through.
The beat is yours forever - . . .

"Birdland"

 

Quincy Jones

5000 light years from Birdland
But I'm still preachin' the rythym
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
Years from the land of the Bird
And I am still feelin' the spirit
5000 light years from Birdland
But I know people can hear it

 

Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, then played it
Well stated Birdland
It happened down in Birdland

 

In the middle of that hub
I remember one jazz club
Where we went to pat feet
Down on 52nd Street
Everybody heard that word
That they named it after Bird
Where the rythym swooped and swirled
The jazz corner of the world
And the cats they gigged in there
Were beyond compare

 

Birdland, I'm singing Birdland
Birdland, old swingin' Birdland

 

Hey man, the music really turns you on
Really? Ya turn me around and turn me on

Down them stairs, lose them cares
Where? Down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king there

Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look
Where? Down in Birdland
Miles came through, trane came too there
Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakie too
Where? Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall there
Down in Birdland, yeah

 

There will never be nothin' such as that
No more, skoo be wah, no more
Down in Birdland, that's where it was at
I know, ah ah ah ah ah, I know
Back in them days Bop was ridin' high
Hello, heh heh heh heh heh, goodbye!

 

How well those cats remember their first Birdland gig
To play in Birdland is an honor we still dig
Yeah, that club was like in another world
Sure enough, yeah baby
All those cats were cookin' on
People just sat and they were steady lookin' on
Then Bird, he came and spread the word
Birdland

 

Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did
Yes he did Parker played in Birdland
Yes he really did
Yes indeed he really did told the truth way down in Birdland
Yes indeed he did, Yard bird Parker played in Birdland
Yes indeed he really did, Charlie Parker played in Birdland

Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, then played it
Well stated Birdland
It happened down in Birdland

Everybody dug that beat
Everybody stomped their feet
Everybody digs be bop
And they'll never stop

 

Down them stairs, lose them cares
Yeah, down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king

"Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back"

 

Meat Loaf

I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing

 

And nothing's all I ever get
Every time I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

 

It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about

 

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

 

And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game, it's just a rout

 

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergant gets it out

 

And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

 

I want my money back
I want my money back

What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breaking in half

 

What about sex?!
It's defective!
It's never built to really last

 

What about your family?
It's defective!
All the batteries are shot

 

What about your friends?
They're defective!
All the parts are out of stock

 

What about hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed

What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it's frayed

 

What about your Gods?
They're defective!
They forgot the warranty

 

What about your town?
It's defective!
It's a dead end street to me

 

What about your school?
It's defective!
It's a pack of useless lies

 

What about your work?
It's defective!
It's a crock and then you die

 

What about your childhood?
It's defective!
It's dead and buried in the past

 

What about your future?
It's defective!
And you can shove it up your ass!!

 

I want my money back
I want my money back

It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Every time I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

 

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

 

And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

"Pieces Of A Man"

econ rap

Gil Scott-Heron

"?Jacky? jigsaw pieces
Tossed about the room
I saw my grandma sweepin'
With her old straw broom
But she didn't what she was doin'
She could hardly understand
That she was really sweepin' up
Pieces of a man

 

I saw my daddy greet the mailman
And I heard the mailman say
"now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
Cause they've laid off nine others today"
But he didn't know what he was saying
He could hardly understand
That he was only talkin' to
Pieces of a man

 

I saw the thunder and heard the lightnin'!
And felt the burden of his shame
And for some unknown reason
He never turned my way

 

Pieces of that letter
Were tossed about that room
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Come knifing through the gloom
But they don't know what they are doing
They could hardly understand
That they're only arrestin'
Pieces of a man

 

I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
He was always such a good man
He was always such a strong strong man
Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces"

"Is It Love That We're Missin'"

 

Quincy Jones

Hey, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

 

Well, the first time I saw you
Was the first time I lost you

And the first time I kissed you
Was the first time I missed you

 

There were times when we tried to
Get by with some love too
But the things that we went through
Were so cold, don't let me remind you

 

It takes one to be alone
And it takes two to carry on
Tell me what you want to say
When you'll take my love
And just walk away

 

Is it love that we're missing
Peace of mind we're not getting
Are the games that we're playing
Simply our way of entertaining

 

Since the start you don't seem to
Realize what I've been through
Since the start I have tried to
Make you see that I need you

 

It takes one to be alone
And it takes two to carry on
Tell me what you want to say
When you'll take my love
And just walk away

 

And at times when we drift to
Our knees but forgot to
Leave behind all the past fun
Sometimes I find it hard to comfort
Wonder why we're not on

 

Is it love that we're missing
Peace of mind we're not getting
Is it love that we're missing

 

Is it love that we're missing
Peace of mind we're not getting
Tell me is it love that we're missing

 

I tried so hard to make it work
But it seems to me, only got hurt

 

Is it love that we're missing
Peace of mind we're not getting
Is it love that we're missing

 

Leave behind all the past fun
[Incomprehensible]

Is it love that we're missing

Winter Comes Early

& lasts log
the farther
down the econ
ladder we are.

In spite of global
warming we feel
a chill.

Perhaps We Could

fall in love
with Pachamama
Again but she is
not the same cuz
of what we do
while being.

There Is A

big difference
between a crazy
socio/psycho-path
& a 'normal' 1 cuz
they are smart, cunning,
etc. or the 'game' of
fake sanity, but to them
we are evil cuz we won't
obey.

"Winter In America"

 

Gil Scott-Heron

From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
And to the buffalo who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds
Looking for the rain
Looking for the rain

 

Just like the cities staggered on the coastline
Living in a nation that just can't stand much more
Like the forest buried beneath the highway
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow

 

And now it's winter
Winter in America
Yes and all of the healers have been killed
Or sent away, yeah
But the people know, the people know
It's winter
Winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
Save your soul, Lord knows
From Winter in America

 

The Constitution
A noble piece of paper
With free society
Struggled but it died in vain
And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner
Hoping for some rain
Looks like it's hoping
Hoping for some rain

 

And I see the robins
Perched in barren treetops
Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor
But just like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow

 

And now it's winter
It's winter in America
And all of the healers have been killed
Or been betrayed
Yeah, but the people know, people know
It's winter, Lord knows
It's winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
Save your souls
From Winter in America

 

And now it's winter
Winter in America
And all of the healers done been killed or sent away
Yeah, and the people know, people know
It's winter
Winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
And ain't nobody fighting
Cause nobody knows, nobody knows
And ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save

"Blue Collar"

Gill Scott Heron

I been down in Pennsylvania,
Where I was working in the mine.
And I been down in Cincinnati;
They laid me off the assembly line.
Yeah, they got me looking everywhere,
But I ain't too proud of what I found.
And you can't name where I ain't been down.
'Cause there ain't no place I ain't been down.

I was down in Kansas City,
Where even the blues sell by the pound
And I been down in New York City, brother,
And that ain't no place to be down.
Yeah, I'm a-looking at the face of the children;
You see, we're looking for a higher ground,
And you can't name where we ain't been down.
'Cause there ain't no place we ain't been down.

We fell down somewhere
Between the cities and the towns.
We went down, I know,
Between the smiles and the frowns.
And if they call me in the morning,
I mean, I'd recognize the sound,
'Cause you can't name where we ain't been down.
There ain't no place we ain't been down.

Standing in the shadows
It sho'nuff (sure enough) looks like rain.
I see the steel-gray clouds above me
Yeah, well the anguish and the pain.
Yeah, I been looking everywhere for peace,
But I swear, there just ain't none around.
But you can't name where I ain't been down.
'Cause there ain't no place I ain't been down.

We been down
Between the cities and the towns.
Yeah, been down somewhere
Between the smiles and the frowns.
And if they call me in the morning,
I mean, I'd recognize the sound,
'Cause you can't name where I ain't been down.
There ain't no place I ain't been down.

We Are All

just ordinary people
cuz that's all we can
be while being.

The operative variable
is the degree of mental
illness / evil.

Don't Be

afraid to
logically
care &
admit it
to your
self by not
denying it,
by saying you
don't.

By In Large

we have a government
of charlatans who reside
in their own version of
reality while believing
only 'they' know &
speak the truth but that
is often the result of the
illusion of exaggerated
wealth in $'s. Amazing.

We Are In

are in an era where
alternative 'facts'
result in real policies.

"You Know I'm Right"

 

David Gilmour

 

You can scream and shout with all your might
Dig in your heels and hold on tight
Either you are wrong or I am right

 

We really seem to have a problem here
But it is you or me

 

It's just a matter of opinions
It's not a simple fact
Why don't you try to see the other side
Don't turn your back

 

Now we really have a problem
And it won't just disappear

"There Is No Way Out Of Here"

There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still
So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go

When you look out
You don't see in

There never was there an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing

David Gilmour; K. Baker

"Cry From The Street"

So you've lost someone
that you thought you owned
or ? owne?

"Love on the air"

I keep transmitting but reception is hazy
I don't get an answer
Keep sending it faster
Always knew it was crazy
To put my love on the air

David Gilmour

There Is No

way to know
if this is a
dream or
 real life.

"Jugband Blues"

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here.
And I never knew we could be so thick
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

 

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.

 

And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.

"Let There Be More Light"

Pink Floyd

Far, far, far away - way
People heard him say - say
I will find a way - way
There will come a day - day
Something will be done.
Then at last the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall

Now, now, now is the time - time
Time to be - be - be aware
Carter's father saw him there
and knew the Rhull revealed to him
the glowing soul of Hereward The Wake.

Oh, my, something in my eye - eye
Something in the sky - sky
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolls slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky

Oh - oh - did you ever know - know
Never ever will they
I cannot say
Summoning his cosmic powers
And glowing slightly from his toes
The psychic emanations fly

"Magic Carpet Ride"

 

Steppenwolf

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

 

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

 

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

 

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

 

Don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

"Young Lust"

 

Pink Floyd

I am just a new boy
Stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

 

Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?

(nothing or no 1 can do that, just you)

Take this rock and roll refugee
Ooh, baby set me free

 

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

 

Hello?
Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mister Floyd
Will you accept the charges from United States?

 

Oh, he hung up, that's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?

 

Hello?
This is United States calling, are we reaching
See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering

"The Happiest Days of Our Lives"

 

Pink Floyd

You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives

Songwriters: ROGER WATERS

Take off this uniform and leave the show
And I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know

"Send In The Clowns"

 

Judy Collins

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

 

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

 

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

 

Sure of my lines
Nobody's there

 

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here (for sure)

 

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

"Comfortably Numb"

Pink Floyd

Hello? Hello? Hello?

 

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

 

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

 

Okay
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, ah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

(the only way to be comfortably numb is to be or pre-tend to be dumb)

"Nobody Home?"

 

Pink Floyd

I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in

 

I got elastic bands keep in' my shoes on
Got those swollen-hand blues
I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from

I've got electric light
And I've got second sight

I got amazing powers of observation

And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

 

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

 

I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly

But I got nowhere to fly to

Ooh, babe when I pick up the phone

(Surprise, surprise, surprise) there's still nobody home

 

I've got a pair of Gohills boots
But I got fading roots

Remember the flowers I sent

To put through the shredder
In front of my friends

Ooh babe

 

Don't leave me now
How could you go?
When you know how I need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
Ooh babe, don't leave me now

 

How can you treat me this way?
Running away
Ooh babe
Why are you running away?
Ooh babe

Mother do you think they'll like this song?

Ooh, ah

Mother should I run for President?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing mine?
Ooh ah,
Is it just a waste of time?

 

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mama's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall.

 

Mother do you think she's good enough?
For me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous,
To me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh ah,
Mother will she break my heart?

 

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
Promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
Sky?

 

Ooh
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on

 

Goodbye, blue sky

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to startle you"
"This place is bigger than our apartment"
"Let me know when you're entering a room"
"Yes sir"

"If you'll just let me know as soon as you can Mrs Bancroft" "Mrs Bancroft"
"Hello?"
"I don't understand"
"Are you feeling okay?"

 

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
And night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more

And I can feel one of my turns coming on
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum

 

Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
One of my bad days
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?

 

Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

Pink Floyd

Momma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooh baby
Ooh baby blue
Ooh babe

 

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes

Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you

As you claw the thin ice

"Outside the Wall"

 

Pink Floyd

All alone, or in two's
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall

Isn't this where

out there

some where?

start some
where?.

Awaking Behind The

wall & searching
for a door for how

"Run Like Hell"

 

Pink Floyd

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
You better make your face up in

Your favorite disguise.
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes.
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart.

Feel the bile rising from your guilty past.
With your nerves in tatters
When the conch shell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door.
You'd better run.

 

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
You better run all day
And run all night.

Keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside.
And if you're taking your girlfriend
Out tonight
You'd better park the car
Well out of sight.

'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks,
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box.
You better run.

"A Whiter Shade Of Pale"

 

Procol Harum

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

 

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'

But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be

One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed

 

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was that later

"Waiting for the Worms"

 

Pink Floyd

Eins, zwei, drei, alle
Ooh, you cannot reach me now
Ooh, no matter how you try
Goodbye, cruel world, it's over
Walk on by

 

Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come

 (come they will in the form of hate, blame, etc.)
 

We're waiting to succeed and going to convene outside Brixton
Town Hall where we're going to be
Waiting to cut out the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to put on a black shirt
Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain
Waiting to follow the worms

Waiting to turn on the showers
And fire the ovens
Waiting for the queens and the coons
And the reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms

Would you like to see Britannia
Rule again, my friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our colored cousins
Home again, my friend?

 

All you need to do is follow the worms

The worms will convene outside Brixton Bus Station

"The Trial"

 

Pink Floyd

Good morning, Worm your honor
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do
Call the schoolmaster

 

I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder
Let me hammer him today?

 

Crazy
Toys in the attic, I am crazy
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away
Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy

 

You little shit you're in it now
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no
You had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, worm your honor
Him and me, alone

 

Babe
Come to mother baby, let me hold you
In my arms
M'lud I never wanted him to
Get in any trouble
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home

 

Crazy
Over the rainbow, I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in
Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy

 

The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertible, there's no need for
The jury to retire
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate

 

Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers
Tear down the wall

The Collaspe Of

'their' alternative
reality will take
this 1 with it as
they have influence
via buttons, be it
atomic, $'s, societal
& environmental.

That's how wrong
the right is.

How Can This

work out well?.?

"Hey You"

 

Pink Floyd

Hey you out there in the cold
Getting lonely getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight

(1st understand the opponents)

 

Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
(No, but will help put 'it' down)

Open your heart, I'm (you're)coming home

 

But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high
As you can see
No matter how he tried
He could not break free
And the worms (of propaganda)  ate into his brain

 

Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall (fell)

Songwriters: ROGER WATERS

Those In Search

of some sanity
can only re-arrange
our self, cuz the
lunatics are  in
the mirror of our
mind, where thoughts
reflect like the
facets of a diamond.
of understanding

Shine on you crazy
diamond.

& perhaps see the
light.
The Floyd

But For The

1% we are all
poorer than we
were 10 yrs. ago
& Pachamama is
broke(n).

Who

we?

What
we?

There Is 1

earth, 1 life,
1 love, etc.
either we
share it or not.

Cuz We Print

$'s out of thin
air we believe
we are in control
when we can't make
an atom or even an
electron or love,
just be it,

out of
thin air?.

We Are Masters @

pretending 'it's' real
& killing those who
question or don't believe.

Often There Are

shadows within
shadows or
familiar strangers.

It's Difficult

to un-wind
The
en-twined.

It starts as
a ball of
confusion

& ends in
mass confusion.

The Bell

goes off
when the
light comes
on (energy).

We Can &

do live  'in'
or 'out' of
Touch.

It's our
choice.

Truth, Facts

are Not
leaks in
our world.

The 1 Simillarity

between us &
corp. person-
hood is that
many of us
& all of 'them'
lack a conscience.

Greed Can Never

be too much
when 'it's'
never enough.

Sex Is An

aspect of a

"Fire Inside"

Bob Seger

There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
Where the latest neon promises are burning bright

Past the open windows on the darker streets
Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
The tired new money dressed to the nines
The low life dealers with their bad designs
And the dilettantes with their open minds

You're out on the town, safe in the crowd
Ready to go for the ride
Searching the eyes, looking for clues
There's no way you can hide
The fire inside

Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises

 Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
And the lights go down and they dance real close
And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm

Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
The darkness scatters as the lights flash on

 They hold one another just a little too long
And they move apart and then move on

On to the street, on to the next
Safe in the knowledge that they tried

 Faking the smile, hiding the pain
Never satisfied
The fire inside
Fire inside

Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave
like you knew he would

 You hear his car pull away in the street
Then you move to the door and you lock it when
he's gone for good

Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky

 And it comes to you how it all slips away
Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray

Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass
Waves rolling in with the tide

 Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
But we cannot be denied
The fire inside

The More $'s

& stuff we have
the less defined
we are.

Lifes Are The

batteries that
store & animate

The Myths &

mysteries from
the mist of time

"...Some Are Standing

some waiting in
line as if there was
some thing (to see),
they thought they
might find... in the
background they just
starred...did you get
rid of all the voices
in your head.." to have
just 1; reality? then
let 'it' go?.
David Gilmour

We See What

we are looking for
(rarely find it)
& with you it was /
is your kindness so
I won't give up easy
unless you ask me to,
then I'll keep it to my
self.

We All Bellieve

in tall tales
with out end;
yet the 'end'
is there for
all to see.
David Gilmour

Perhaps Those

looking for love
will find 'it' never
left them; if not
'it' was not; it
was ??. Not love.
David Gilmour

I'll Forget

the thought of
filling a missing
persons report as
the word on the
street is that you
are around but
even with street
signs I miss you.

"...Never Was There

an answer...

To Understand

what's going on
is to understand
that We are Not
In Charge.

Many Hide

from them
self in plain
sight, it's just
not obvious.

1 May Be

the loneliest
number we do
but it's the only
number we can
do or be; or
not @ all.
