Never Seen Blue

Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Got a little red light
That tells you, boy, where the razors been
You said girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman, yes
Finally be that woman
Thats been frozen in that pretty silver girl
Yes

And i never seen blue like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
I said I never seen eyes like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Some boy you are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
And wear it like a lady knows how to cross her legs
Where the paddy's been

I never seen blue like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Said i never seen eyes like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Said now
Say goodbye to those left
Said..


Ode To The Banana King (Part One)

Turning back ten thousand year it's all a blur where the taxi's go
Monster man a willing friend Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows gonna get caught in her rub babe

This is not a conclusion
Not a revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

Boats made out of paper float dreams made up for the banana king
Darling crumbs you have lapped freely of devious we all have been
Violent and delicious souls

This is not a conclusion
Not a revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

Boats made out of paper float dreams made up for the banana king
Darling crumbs you have lapped freely of devious we all have been
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion
Not a revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been


Over It

***instrumental only***


The Pool

One with her hands
Open
"Don't be afraid" she said
"No one will know it-
Just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back


Purple People

Well, hey do you do judo when they surround you
A little mental yoga will they disappear
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
No matter what it takes she promises a show
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me

I watch me be this other thing and never know
If I'm marooned or where the purple people go
Then lily white mattress hides from vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me

And on and on the nurses make it clear
Just when you escape you have yourself to fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast every hour
It could save the world
So hey do you do judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me


Samurai

My Samurai said going to the sanctuary
I knew about my la la la too
My Samurai done making a liar of me when
To be happy
To be you
He says

My Samurai take me down to the sanctuary
And I'm free
Gonna be
You know me
You know me
I said I'm gonna be
Gonna be
You know me

My Samurai taking my face
And she's sticking it on a daisy
And you

(*spoken*: "I think I cut that one too. I get the Samurai book out and just read words")


Sister Janet

Master Shamen I have come with my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade

All the angels all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see Sweet Maryanne

Sister Janet
You have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becomind none
Call The Wanderer
He has gone
And all those up there are now making it look so easy
With your perfect wing
Can cover all sorta of thing


Sister Named Desire

Got a sister named Desire
They don't let you light those
Little boys
On the back hand swings.
Know a vicar who coughs a lot
Thought we told some little sweet stories
In the parking lot

They say the girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway
That day

God, I'd like to take him for a long way
Cause maybe I
Then I just cry a little tear
Near to that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take it by myself if I've got to go
Don't let you, let you know
Where she goes to with those meows and her fear

The girl lost her sway
They say the girl lost her sway
That day

Teach me about them old old words
Big brother man
In an elevator where
Somebody can get out without sound
Say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it
Slip through my hands, boy
Watch it go
What you know, hey, yes

Just see
Cause she still can sway


Smells Like Teen Spirit (Words and music by Kurt Cobain)

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overbored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello hello
I'm worst at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be until the end
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Yes
Hello
Hello, hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Yes, a mulatto
An albino
A mosquitto
My libido
A denial
A denial
A denial
A denial
Yes
A denial


Somewhere Over The Rainbow (lyrics by Harold Arlen, Music by E.Y Harburg)

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

One day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, oh why can't I?

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?


Song For Eric

I wait all day for my sailor
And sometimes he comes

See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know me like the nightengale
"Oh fair maiden I see you standing there"
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me


Strange Fruit (billie holiday, words and music by Lewis Allen)

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the twisted south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a frui for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop


Sugar

Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes I'd
Have the record books

Sugar
He brings me sugar

Bobby's collecting bees
And hammers he used one on me
Cold wars with little boys
Get in with them, bubble gum tree

And sugar
Bring me sugar
All the robins bring
Bring me many thing but
Sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now

And you know, and I know
I don't know me very well
And I know, and you know
If they found me out

Sugar
He brings me sugar
And all the robins bring
They bring me many things but
Sugar
He brings me sugar
And all the robins bring
They bring many things but
Sugar
Oh, sugar
Sugar
Ah, sugar
Sugar
You
Ah, ah
(FADE)


Sweet Dreams

"Lies everywhere"
Said the father to the son
You're peppermint breath
Gonna choke him to death Daddy
Watch your little black sheep run
He's got knives in his back
Everythime he opens up
You say "He gotta be strong if
He wants to be a man" no
I don't know how you can have
Sweet dreams
Land land of Libery we're run
By a constipated man
When you live in the past you refure
To see when you daughter comes home
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points
Of light gonna shine them on the face
Of your friends - they've got the Earth in a sling
The world on her knees they've even got
Your zipper between their teeth Sweet dreams
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Go on and dream
Your house is on fire

Well well summer wind
Been catchin up with me
"Elephant mind missy
You don't have you're forgettin
To fly darlin when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy Susan
Takin turns all over my dreams
I got Lizards and Snakes
Runnin through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet Dreams


Take To The Sky

This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and grey
You got me movin in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried deep in my heart yeah
But my priest says
You ain't savin no souls  My father says
You ain't makin any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here i stand
With this sword in my hand

You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky

My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
If you don't like me just a little
Why do you hang around
There she goes again
Wearing those purple panties
There she goes again
Wearing his heart
There she goes again Why do you
Take it


Thank You (Words and music by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page)

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
Mountains crumble to the sea
There would still be you and me
Kind woman, i give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more

Little drops of rain
Whipser all the pain
Tears of loves lost and the days gone by
If our love is strong
Then there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die
Inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration, love to see

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
Mountains crumble to sea
There would still be
You
You, babe
And me


That's What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song)) *(music and lyrics by Chas Hodges&Dave Peacock)*

Cheese and onion sandwiches and Derby chinaware
Fiddles and jigs and boogie my dog, Auntie Vee having a swear
Taking my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
Licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glen Hoddle scoring a goal
Catching a pike and riding my bike, old wooden wheels and a bowl of eels

Yes, that's what I like boy
That's what I like

Pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William books and comical looks, pianos trams and trains
Coals and cockles and thunder storms, a place on the [wallace and ow](?)
Grandfather clocks and coke and brandy
Fountain pens and Beano and Dandy

That's what I like
I said, that's what I like

Little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and Barnet Faire
The sound of the banjo barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
Burning toast a beer from the wood and old terry thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chet and Cannon & Ball, a banjo picking bill keith
And old bungalows wood burning stoves
And Shirley MacLaine and Petticoat Lane

That's what I like,
Said that's what I like
Yes, boy
Yes that's just a...

Bubble and squeak and jumble sales, Little Richard and Jerry Lee
Bonfire night and Southend nights, paddle in the sea
Polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
Violins and old coach inns, and colored elastic bands
Tea in the morning and winter beginning
Fishing rods and frogs and spurs and winning years

That's what I like
Hey, that's what I like

Decorations off in the bases, going down hopping in Kent
A new pair of braces little kids faces sleeping under the tin
And wagons chickens and picking blackberries and swallows and sledges
And Devon and jerries and haddock and trotters horses and knickers
And cider and celery and banjoes and kippers
Yeah, that's I like boy
That's what I like


This Old Man (Traditional)

This old man
He played one
He played knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played two
He played knick knack on my shoe
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone

This old man
He played three
He played knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack paddywhack
This old mancame rolling home

This old man
He played four
He played knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He play ten
He played knick knack on my shin
On my shin


Thoughts

My thoughts right now
I picked up a magazine
Here, here they go
Fifteen hundred years,
Fifteen hundred years right here
Oh, burning witches, burning books
Burning babies and their looks

Yes, indeed
Burning everything that's sacred in my jeans

Thoughts right now
She'd been everybody else's girl
Thoughts right now
Now...
Thoughts right now
Aye, right now
In my head, in my head

Never here...
I'm never here
I'm never here
I'm never, never a bird
In the flower, in the tree
In the pain of the respect thereof
Yes, indeed!

Thoughts right now
What will become of me?
Become of her?
Become of we, babe?
Yeah...


Toodles Mr Jim

spoken:* Hey I yes I said yes I said hooray yay yippee yay I said toodly hey and)

Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Toodles I say so long
Hear that your grave's a little warm you stickler
Sing them all your happy song
It's today
Today sunday
By your grave

I say Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Taught me so well
How to spell those red in and
And hey
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered and swattered blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead

Now it's toodles Mr Jim
You cherry picker
Build that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb
When they've got a spell

Toodles Mr Jim
You are my sweet favorite neighbor of them all
Girls go to their parties
I don't care
Cause I'm with you
Still

*spoken:*
"That was Toodles Mr Jim
Mr Jim died
2 weeks ago
And he taught me how to pick cherries
And I punched his daughter in the nose
Because she was mean
Mr Jim was good"


Upside Down

God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter
Chatter chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still comin out of my mother
Upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You've been shatter shatter shatter
Shatter shatter
And I know you're still a boy
Still comin out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own
I say the world is sick you say tell me what that makes us darlin
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons I say baby what have you been smokin
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed I loved a
Black boy my daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten kitten kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
It's the only thing we can't seem to turn upside down
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm OK when everything is not OK
Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down
Don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down
Inside my head a voice
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
And it says girl you're all the same
Still comin out of your mothers
Still comin out of your mothers
Upside down


Walking With You
