[Greywind]

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough to give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth, oh

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes, oh

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, oh

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

Young girl, get out of my mind

[Greywind]

Daylight, alright
I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel

No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it's too late

Head games, it's you and me baby
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, I don't wanna play the...
Head games

I daydream for hours it seems
I keep thinkin' of you, yeah, thinkin' of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?

Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm sayin', still we keep on playin'

Head games, that's all I get from you
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, don't wanna play the...
Head games

So near, so far away
We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore
Head games, instead of makin' love
Head games, ooh

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore, no more
Head games, instead of makin' love, we play
Head games

Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games

Do you know Jacques Cousteau?

Well it said on the radio

That he hears bells in random order

Deep beneath the perfect water

 

"Perfect Water"--Blue Oyster Cult

[Greywind]

I do come from miles away
Ain't got no place to stay
Glad to help you plow your fields
Farmer's daughter

Might be just a couple of days
Clean up rest and on my way
Thank you and I'm must obliged
Farmer's daughter
Ooh, ooh

So long better leave your land
Many thanks it was mighty grand
I do hope to see you again
Farmer's daughter

Ooh, farmer's daughter
Ooh, farmer's daughter
Ooh, farmer's daughter
Ooh, farmer's daughter

[Greywind]

To be the last to leave, the last to be gone,
stolen from the ones who hung on to it.

To be the last in line, the ones that live on,
silhouette of a dream, treasured by the ones
.. who hung on to it.

Almost a breakdown of our love affair,
the stiletto cuts quick, like a whip through the air.
Long distance winners .. where we survive the flight,
not one of us runs .. from the firelight.

I would love to believe .. I believe what you say.
In the drama of the moment, oh, there's no easy way.
No one ever leaves. Every one stays .. close till the fire .. fades.

To be the last to leave; what caused the fearsome ..
divorce in the night, there was no competition.
To survive do it right. You believe in the five.
To survive the distance, everyone fights.
Everyone fights .. and the fireflies.

At the risk of my feelings .. dreamers in the night.
Some call it our nightmare, and my five fireflies.
Like a sailing ship, not one of us runs.
Everyone stays .. and the fire never fades........

[tkdguy]

By yon bonnie banks, and by you bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond.

Where me and my true love were ever won't to gae,

On the bonnie, bonnie banks, O Loch Lomond.

 

O ye'll take the High Road,

And I'll take the Low Road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye.

But me and me true love

Will ne'er meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks O Loch Lomond.

 

'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen.

By the steep steep sides of Ben Lomond.

Where deep in purple hue, the highland hills we view.

And the Moon coming out in the gloamin'.

 

O ye'll take the High Road,

And I'll take the Low Road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye.

But me and me true love

Will ne'er meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks O Loch Lomond.

 

The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring.

And in sunshine the waters lie sleeping.

But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again.

And the world knows not how we are grieving.

 

O ye'll take the High Road,

And I'll take the Low Road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye.

But me and me true love

Will ne'er meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks O Loch Lomond.

[Greywind]

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain... we can be like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand... don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

La la la la la
La la la la la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity... Romeo and Juliet
40, 000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet
40, 000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness
Another 40, 000 coming everyday... We can be like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand... don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly... don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

La la la la la
La la la la la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared... saying don't be afraid
Come on baby... and she had no fear
And she ran to him... then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye... she had become like they are
She had taken his hand... she had become like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper

[Greywind]

And the sign says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for you"

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
****in' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of sinner

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
****in' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

Oh, say now mister, can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" - uh!

[solo]

And the sign says "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own ****in' sign
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing fine", oh

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
****in' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
****in' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

[Greywind]

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

[Cancer]

Once I met the devil

He was mighty slick

Tempted me with worldly goods

And said, "You can have your pick."

But when he laid that paper on me

And he showed me where to sign

I said thank you very kindly

But I'm in too great a need of mine

 

Hi de ho

Hi de hi

Gonna get me a piece of the sky

Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll

I'm singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.

Hi de ho

Hi de hi

(Get it, children)

Gonna get me a piece of the sky

Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll

Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hoooo

(Lay it on, children!)

Hi de ho

Hi de hi

Gonna get me a piece of the sky

Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll

I'm singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.

Bill McCloskey was a husky healthy, handsome lad;
And McCloskey had a pretty little girl by the name of Pearl
But McCloskey, big and husky, stuttered very bad
So when he wanted her to marry him,
He told her brother Jim

Chorus
You, you, you, you, you, you tell her
"Cause i, i, i, i, i, i stutter and
O, o, o, o, always get in dutch,
She, she, she, she, she, she ought to know,
I've a bun, bun, bun, bun, bungalow,
WHere we two can raise a little
"Eefff offf Eeff-a-soff-a-Loff-a"
Help, help, help, help, help, a feller,
And go, go, go, go, go and tell her
I've boo, boo, boo, boo, bought the ring and such,
I'm thinking Ow! wow! wow! wow! of her
'cause I Low! wo! wo! wo! love her
So you, you tell her, oh 
you, you tell her
'cause I, I, stutter too much.

Her big brother told his mother what McCloskey said,
She said "Go ahead,"
And so he telephoned to McCloskey's home
Billy grabbed a taxicab right to his sweetie's door,
He saw the family upon the porch,
And started into roar:

Chorus
You, you, you, you, you, you, tell her
"Cause I, I, I, I, I, I stutter and
Some, some, some, some day I'll get in dutch,
When, when, when I hear the parson say,
Will you hon, hon, honor and obey?
I'm afraid that I will answer
"Eepp-eipp Gimmee a piece of peipp"
When I'm in her poo, poo parlor,
I ki, ki, cough and sneeze and hooer
my tu, tu, tongue, and tonsils seems to touch,
And when I foo, foo, fool around her,
I'm a foo foo fraid I'll drawn her
So you you tell her,
oh, you, you tell her 'cause
I, I, stutter too much.

[tkdguy]

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

Even you don't know by now

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It'll never do somehow

 

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window, and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm a-traveling on

But don't think twice, it's all right.

 

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe

The light I never knowed

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe

I'm on the dark side of the road

 

But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

But we never did too much talking anyway

But don't think twice, it's all right.

 

So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

Like you never done before

And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

 

I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I am told

I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right.

 

So long honey, baby

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

Goodbye's too good a word, babe

So I'll just say fare thee well

 

I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right.

[Greywind]

There’s no bread let them eat cake
There’s no end to what they’ll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they’re marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel, and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And we’re marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, o choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise.

Lessons taught, but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine – claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn’t all that money buys

[Joe Walsh]

Another crummy perfect day
Waking up in LA
Never thought that I would stay so long

Dusty leaves and bees are hummin'
Ten day says there's no rain comin'
The sun is shining 'cause
It nearly always does
What else can I say

What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just layin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave

Orange sky and ashes falling
I can't get home the car is stalling
How lucky can I get?
I am so fortunate

What a Life
What a Life
What a Life we lead
I'm just waitin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Yeah, wake me when it's time to leave

Well, it's another perfect day
I guess I wouldn't have it any other way...

[Pariah]

These mist-covered mountains are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands, and always will be

One day you'll return to your valleys and your farms

And you'll no longer burn to be brothers in arms

 

Through these fields of destruction, baptisms of fire

I've witnessed your suffering as the battle raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad in the fear and alarm

You did not desert me, my brothers in arms

 

There's so many different worlds, so many different suns

And we have just one world, but we live in different ones

 

Now the sun's gone to Hell and the moon's riding high

Let me bid you farewell--every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight and every line in your palm

We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms

[Joe Walsh]

Another crummy perfect day
Waking up in LA
Never thought that I would stay so long

Dusty leaves and bees are hummin'
Ten day says there's no rain comin'
The sun is shining 'cause
It nearly always does
What else can I say

What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just layin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave

Orange sky and ashes falling
I can't get home the car is stalling
How lucky can I get?
I am so fortunate

What a Life
What a Life
What a Life we lead
I'm just waitin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Yeah, wake me when it's time to leave

Well, it's another perfect day
I guess I wouldn't have it any other way...

It’s August again and I’m on my own
I’m under a cloud and I’m staying home
The telephone rings and I am hiding out
Rituals carved on a well-worn path
It’s up with people but I’m failing that class
So many reasons to smile but I’m happy to doubt

I’m under a cloud and no one knows
Under a cloud while beauty unfolds like a rose

I’ve been down so long I’ve got a fear of heights
My mind keeps telling me that something’s not right
So I walk in the sun in my rain hat and overcoat
It makes no sense and it’s so surreal
Despite what you see I fear what I feel
And I’m bailing out water from this lush lifeboat

I’m under a cloud and no one knows
Under a cloud while beauty unfolds like a rose

It’s a terrible life
But none of it ever happened
I have my sunny, sunny days
Always served blackened

I’m under a cloud and no one knows
Under a cloud while beauty unfolds
I’m under a cloud and no one knows
Under a cloud while beauty unfolds like a rose
Like a rose

Bailing out water from this lush lifeboat
Bailing out water from this lush lifeboat

[Greywind]

Lido missed the boat that day
He left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin' back

At a tombstone bar
In a juke joint car
He made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi town
Lido put the money down
Let 'em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road

Lido
Whoah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's waitin for the go

Lido
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road

Lido will be runnin'
Havin' great big funnin'
Till he got the note
Sayin' tow the line or blow it
And that was all he wrote

He'll be makin' like a bee line
Headin' for the border line
Goin' for broke
Sayin' one more hit ought to do it
This joint ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road

Lido
Woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's waitin' for the go

Lido
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it
One last shot then we quit it
One more for the road

Lido
Woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go
Lido
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it

[Greywind]

In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire 'til he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all signin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street, yeah

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer, and you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one, and she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'; you'll be on your knees tomorrow, yeah

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gambling man;
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table, yeah

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

[Greywind]

Up all night I could not sleep
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
Well the sun came, night had fled
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm

South city midnight lady
I'm much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that I sent out returned with you

When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street
Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away

South city midnight lady
I'm much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that I sent out returned with you

CHORUS
Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly,
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
did the band play the last post and chorus,
did the pipes play the "Flowers of the Forest"

Well how do you do young Willie McBride?
do you mind if I sit down here by your graveside
and rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun
I've been walkin' all day and I'm nearly done
I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
when you joined the great fallen of 1916
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean
Willie McBride was it slow and obscene CHORUS

And the beautiful wife or the sweetheart for life
in some faithful heart are you forever enshrined
and although you died back in 1916
in that faithful heart are you forever nineteen?
or are you a stranger without even a name
enshrined forever behind a glass pane
in an ould photograph torn tattered and stained,
fading to yellow in a brown leather frame? CHORUS

Now the sun shines down on the green fields of France
a warm summer wind makes the red poppys dance
The trences have vanished under the plows,
there's no gas no barbed wire, there's no guns firing now
but here in this graveyard it's still No Man's land,
the countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
for man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
to a whole generation that was butchered and damned CHORUS

Now Willie McBride I can't help wonder why
Do those who lie here do they know why they died
Did they really beleive when they answered the call
did they really believe that this war would end wars
Forever this song of suffereing and shame
the killing the dying was all done in vain
for young Willie McBride it's all happened again,
and again, and again, and again and again

[Greywind]

Yeah!
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby

Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
