Array I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they’re falling tell a story
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Don’t say I’m out of touch
With this rampant chaos- your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -

Array Por la blanda arena que lame el mar
su pequeña huella no vuelve más
y un sendero solo de pena y silencio llegó
hasta el agua profunda
y un sendero solo de penas puras llegó
hasta la espuma
Sabe Dios que angustia te acompañó
qué dolores viejos calló tu voz
para recostarte arrullada en el canto
de las caracolas marinas
la canción que canta en el fondo oscuro del mar
la caracola
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
¿qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
Y una voz antigua de viento y de mar
te requiebra el alma
y la está llamando
y te vas, hacia allá como en sueños,
dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar.
Cinco sirenitas te llevarán
por caminos de algas y de coral
y fosforescentes caballos marinos harán
una ronda a tu lado.
Y los habitantes del agua van a nadar pronto a tu lado.
Bájame la lámpara un poco más
déjame que duerma, nodriza en paz
y si llama él no le digas que estoy,
dile que Alfonsina no vuelve.
y si llama él no le digas nunca que estoy,
di que me he ido.
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
¿qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
Y una voz antigua de viento y de mar
te requiebra el alma
y la está llamando
y te vas, hacia allá como en sueños,
dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar.
By the soft sand that licks the sea
its small track does not return
and a single footpath of pain and silence reached
the deep water
and a single footpath of pure pain reached
the foam
God knows what distresses accompanied you
What old pains shut up your voice
So you lay down sung to sleep by the song
of the marine conches
The song that sings in the dark bottom of the sea
the conch
You go away Alfonsina with your solitude
What new poems you went looking for?
And an old voice of wind and sea
breaks your soul
and it is calling it
and you go away, towards there, like in dreams,
Alfonsina asleep, dressed in sea.
Five little mermaids will take you
by paths of seaweed and coral
and fluorescent sea horses will dance
around at your side.
And the inhabitants of the water are going to swim soon at your side.
Lower the lamp a little more
Allow me to sleep, nanny in peace
and if he calls, don't tell him that I am,
Tell him that Alfonsina will not return.
and if he calls, never tell him that I am,
say that I have gone away.
You go away Alfonsina with your solitude
What new poems you went looking for?
And an old voice of wind and sea
breaks your soul
and it is calling it
and you go away, towards there, like in dreams,
Alfonsina asleep, dressed in sea. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

Array Whoever we are
Wherever we're from
We shoulda noticed by now
Our behavior is dumb
And if our chances
Expect to improve
It's gonna take a lot more
Than tryin' to remove
The other race
Or the other whatever
From the face
Of the planet altogether
They call it THE EARTH
Which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right
'Cause we behave the same...
*We are dumb all over*
Dumb all over,
Yes we are
Dumb all over,
Near 'n far
Dumb all over,
Black 'n white
People, we is not wrapped tight
Nurds on the left
Nurds on the right
Religous fanatics
On the air every night
Sayin' the Bible
Tells the story
Makes the details
Sound real gory
'Bout what to do
If the geeks over there
Don't believe in the book
We got over here
You can't run a race
Without no feet
'N pretty soon
There won't be no street
For dummies to jog on
Or doggies to dog on
Religous fanatics
Can make it be all gone
(I mean it won't blow up
'N disappear
It'll just look ugly
For a thousand years...)
You can't run a country
By a book of religion
Not by a heap
Or a lump or a smidgeon
Of foolish rules
Of ancient date
Designed to make
You all feel great
While you fold, spindle
And mutilate
Those unbelievers
From a neighboring state
TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
Hooray! That's great
Two legs ain't bad
Unless there's a crate
They ship the parts
To mama in
For souvenirs: two ears *(Get Down!)*
Not his, not hers, *(but what the hey?)*
The Good Book says:
*("It gotta be that way!")*
But their book says:
*"REVENGE THE CRUSADES...
With whips 'n chains
'N hand grenades..."*
TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS?
Have another and another
Our God says:
*"There ain't no other!"*
Our God says
*"It's all okay!"*
Our God says
*"This is the way!"*
It says in the book:
*"Burn 'n destroy...*
*'N repent, 'n redeem*
*'N revenge, 'n deploy*
*'N rumble thee forth*
*To the land of the unbelieving scum on
the other side*
*'Cause they don't go for what's in the
book*
*'N that makes 'em BAD*
*So verily we must choppeth them up*
*And stompeth them down*
*Or rent a nice French bomb*
*To poof them out of existence
*While leaving their real estate just where
we need it*
*To use again*
*For temples in which to praise
OUR GOD*
*("Cause he can really take care of
business!")*
And when his humble TV servant
With humble white hair
And humble glasses
And a nice brown suit
And maybe a blond wife who takes
phone calls
Tells us our God says
It's okay to do this stuff
Then we gotta do it,
'Cause if we don't do it,
We ain't gwine up to *hebbin!*
(Depending on which book you're using
at the time...Can't use theirs... it don't work
...it's all lies...Gotta use mine...)
Ain't that right?
That's what they say
Every night...
Every day...
Hey, we can't really be dumb
If we're just following *God's Orders*
Hey, let's get serious...
God knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here
An' the book says:
*He made us all to be just like Him,"
so...
If we're dumb...
Then God is dumb...

Array Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
And in the doubtful war, before he won
The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town;
His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine,
And settled sure succession in his line,
From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
And the long glories of majestic Rome. Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point. -

Array O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate;
What goddess was provok'd, and whence her hate;
For what offense the Queen of Heav'n began
To persecute so brave, so just a man;
Involv'd his anxious life in endless cares,
Expos'd to wants, and hurried into wars!
Can heav'nly minds such high resentment show,
Or exercise their spite in human woe? But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -

Array Don't you know what you're doing
You got a death wish
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Was the colour of her hair
Like a cheap distraction
For a new affair
She knew it would finish
Before it began
Something tells me you lost the plan
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
She stripped to the beat
But her clothes stay on
White light everywhere
But you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad sad moment
Glory to you
Glory to you
Take me there
Take me there
Got some revelation
Put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don't you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again
You want to make her

Array Tam Lin
I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair
To travel to Carter Haugh, for young Tam Lin is there.
Them that go by Carter Haugh, but they leave him a pledge
Either their mantels of green or else their maidenhead.
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And she's gone to Carter Haugh as fast as go can she.
She doth pull the double rose, a rose but only two
And up then came young Tam Lin, says lady pull no more.
And why come you to Carter Haugh without command from me
I'll come and go, young Janet said, and ask no leave of thee.
Janet tied her kirtle green a little bit above her knee
And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she.
Then up spoke her father dear, and he spoke meek and mild
Well alas Janet, he said, I think you go with child.
Well if that be so, Janet said, myself shall bear the blame
There's not a knight in all your halls shall get the baby's name.
For if my love were an earthly knight, as he is an elfin grey
I'll not change my own true love for any knight you have.
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And she's gone to Carter Haugh as fast as go can she.
Oh tell to me Tam Lin she said, why came you here to dwell
The Queen of Fairy's caught me when from my horse I fell.
And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell
I so fair and full of flesh am feared it is myself.
But tonight is Halloween and the fairy court rides
Those that would let true love win, At Miles' Cross they must hide.
First let pass the horses black and let pass the brown
Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down.
For I ride on the white steed, the nearest to the town
For I was an earthly knight, they give me that renown.
They will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake
Hold me tight and fear not, I am your baby's father.
And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold
Hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child.
And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight
Cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight.
And in the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring
She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win.
Then up spoke the fairy queen, an angry queen was she
Who betide her ill-farr'd face, an ill death may she die.
Oh had I known Tam Lin, she said, what this night I did see
I'd have looked him in the eye and turned him to a tree. -

Array Around her neck
She wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore it in the springtime
And in the month of May.
And if you asked her
Why the hell she wore it,
She wore it for her lover
Who was far, far away.
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away.
Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away. Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point. -

Smooth as silk, cool as air.

She doesn't know your name and your heart beats like a subway train.
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.
Ooh, don't you wanna take her'
Wanna make her all your own'

Array How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? -

Array The cafes are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town,
In the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...
I'm never going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...
I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no;
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away;
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation...
I'm going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more,
I'm going to miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit... "ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK" - Gen. Patton I miss Fencergrl!!! -

Array Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die
There’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?
I can’t do the talk like they talk on tv
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I’d do the stars with you any time
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die
There’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

Array It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
Then I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse
The subways are sizzling and the skin of the streets is gleaming with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
Come on, come on and there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on, come on, it's time to burn up the fuse
You got nothing to do and even less to lose
You got nothing to do and even less to lose
So wander down to the ancient hallway, taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
So open the door and lay down on the bed, the sun is just a ball of desire
And I wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
And I wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
(Let me stand next to your fire)
Whoa! Let me stand baby
(Let me stand next to your fire)
Let me stand
(Let me stand next to your fire)

Listen here baby
And stop acting so crazy
You say your mommy ain't home
That ain't my concern
Just play with me and you won't get burned
I have only one itching desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Chorus (slight variation)
Oh move over, rover
And let Jimi take over
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about
Yeah! Get on with it baby!
Now listen baby,
You try to give me your money
You better save it babe
Save it for your rainy day!
I have only one burning desire

Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire

And our love become a funeral pyre

Time to hesitate is through

All right, all right I want to be remembered when I'm dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.

I can feel your heart is beating fast
We are alone in this crowded room
Oh tonight there is something happening
And it's something that should never be
But there's a flame over you and me
And I can see the fire on water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun...
There's a place and an ancient fortress
High above the worries of the world
I'd love you there for a long, long time
And we'll discover all our deepest secrets
And let the spirit go flying free
Until the dawn breaks over the sea
It's burning like fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Oh let it shine on me

Array Cry baby cry

Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour
Playing piano for the children of the king
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the children's holiday
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The dutchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark
Cry baby cry
