Moody Man

|
A moody man and his moody woman
Waited til the coast was clear
And looking across at each other
Said what the hell are we doing here
She said what you doing to me honey
You’re making me cry all day
I try to understand your anger
But you just push me away
That moody man took a hold of his woman
And speaking to her tenderly
He said You see that big star in the sky babe
Well it’s been putting heavy vibes on me
I try to get my nose off of the runway
But you know I’m losing altitude fast
So hold on to your difficult darling
Cos with you I want to last
And I know it’s all gonna be different
In another little slice of time
Oh the egg on my plate is coming sunny side up
We’re gonna be over the moon
I said we’re gonna over the moon
That moody man and his moody woman
Stood on the doorstep and waved bye bye
And gently closed the door behind them
and they wondered how they both were saved.

Blind Jane

Blind Jane
Whose eyes can only feel
The wind and rain
Whose sun is dark
Whose moon the same
But how her smile puts me to shame
Blind Jane
Me I ride a cock horse
I follow the easiest course
Back home, back home
I measure my worth
As if everything on the earth
Was my own, my own
Me I play the odds
I curse the Gods
I curse the breeze
Curse the very sky above the trees
Fighting every day in troubles way
I’m troubled grey
But when I look at you
Everything seems kind of blue
Blind Jane
Whose eyes can only feel
The wind and rain
Whose sun is dark
Whose moon the same
But how her smile puts me to shame
Blind Jane

Rascals & Thieves
04:14
|
|||
|
Well I ride on the wings of the beautiful bird
Over the hill and far away
I stand with the kings in their castles superb
And watch their children play
And like a child in need of nothing
Except the sky
I don’t know how, I don’t know when
But if I lay eyes on that girl again
Hey this time she’ll be more than a friend
And more than a rolling day
Well I stand on the shoulders of Plato and Freud
Their point of view to see
But if all this is true than all that must be void
How else could it be?
And I for one am sure of nothing
Except that I
I don’t know how, I don’t know when
But if I catch sight of that girl again
Hey this time she’ll be more than a friend
And more than a rolling day
Well the wind howls high and the sky sits low
The ocean is standing up
And the time draws nigh when the world will know
It’s running out of luck
But time and tide they know no reason
And I
I don’t know how, I don’t know when
But if I lay eyes on that girl again
Hey this time she’ll be more than a friend
And more than a rolling day
Hey more than a rolling day
And in the castles are rascals and thieves dressed in gold
Laughing at me out in the cold

Nothing Says
04:11
|
|||
|
This place is cold
And sunless as
The arctic winter’s night
I don’t get many letters
From the west
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
ah, ah
My love was like
A madman’s dream
Of Cairo in the snow
I skated on
The thin ice of your lakes
Nothing says Hello
Like a smile
Nothing says Hello
Like a smile
ah, ah
And now my only life is here
Amidst the broken swans
And all my tracks
Were covered long ago
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
ah, ah

Promises
03:42
|
|||
|
Promises, promises
Made out to last
Promises, promises
Fragile as glass
You said you’d be here
And the clock wasn’t fast
In the morning
In the morning
Cinderella expects
And so do we all
Warm invitations
To come to the ball
And I’m gonna be there
If I have to crawl
In the morning
In the morning
Doesn’t it register somewhere inside
Just how close to disaster we sail
Everyone’s thinking
Your battleship’s sinking
But you know you’ll stay on the rails
You’re gonna stay on the rails
Promises, promises
Easily made
Crackle like radios
Constantly played
Promises, promises
Made out to fade
In the morning
In the morning

Formica
03:09
|
|||
|
I carve you in formica
So surrealist and cool
And pan your lovely features
For the penguin and the fool
For the penguin and the fool
I miss you evanescent smile
The Sanskrit that you taught
The wind in lovely Hampshire woods
And the headlands where you walked
And the headlands where you walked
A fool, a fool
I am a fool for you
A queen, a queen
You are a queen for me
The sea calls out its numbers
And you write them in the sand
And schools of whales approach the shore
To gently kiss your hand
To gently kiss your hand
A fool, a fool
I am a fool for you
A queen, a queen
You are a queen for me
A fool, a fool
I am a fool for you
A queen, a queen
You are a queen

I Love the Way
04:01
|
|||
|
The storm is passing by
Hello brand new summer sky
I’m standing in your glow
Nowhere else to go
For I’m there anyway
Not a care at the end of the day
I love the way she’ll come to me
I love the way she’ll come do me
When nothing’s worth the pain
And winning is just a losing game
I’m hanging on her smile
Helpless as a child
In the dark, in the light, In the day
In the dead of the night
I love the way she’ll come to me
I love the way she’ll come do me
And I love the way
I’m alive for today
And to hell with tomorrow
No reason better than
the one you just had
Cos I’m there anyway
Not a care at the end of the day
I love the way she’ll come to me
I love the way she’ll come do me

Regrets
04:27
|
|||
|
You once said to me
That the wings they were a symbol of some thing
You had lost deep inside I regret
I regret, I regret, I regret
Suffer not the child
Remaining where the white dove can’t remain
You are locked in your pain I regret
I regret, I regret I regret
I can read you just like a crossword
Five across and One down
I’m down
Rip up your picture in Harpers
But don’t forget to
Put up the sacred heart
There was no mistake
In the broken road you felt
You had to take
There was no
There was no mistake I regret
I regret, I regret, I regret
You once said to me
That the wings they were a symbol of some thing
You had lost deep inside I regret
I regret, I regret, I regret
Yes I really do regret

Paradise Garden
08:34
|
|||
|
Well my woman blows the whistle
for the ten-fifteen to Euston
And if she once had some principles
well now she’s loosed ‘em go
So’s she could know how it feels
pulling strokes and making deals
Setting spokes inside the wheels
of the Utopian Express
And then my lover she’s the mother
of my hopes and aspirations
She’s the keeper of my morals
and my expectations
She’s a virgin in forgiveness
and a whore in self-destruction
And a master of that moment
when you’re hanging on her word
And at night I dream I’m falling
from her thirty storey window
As she pushes me and cries out
God have mercy on my soul
Then she flies into the darkness
with her make-up man beside her
And I stand helplessly watching
as the gulf gets wider
Crying please
take your greed and leave me lone
I’ve enough of my own
And when Paradise’s Garden
isn’t where you would be
Listen to me
For the devil is alive and well
and living on Manhattan
He’s committed to a scientific
course of action
And his legions they are many
and they answer unto no one
And their promise is as heavy
as the fog upon LA
Oh but the treadmill is for losers,
better leave your pride behind you
And go hide beneath your shadow
lest the good Lord find you
And say Mind you, now what you doing,
have you spent all that I gave you
Are you broken now in spirit
as your minutes are in years
Or are you waiting for the scientist
to come up with an answer
And to cut away the cancer
of your discontented mind
Well Frankenstein’s in town
and I can lead you to his window
Where Cinderella dances in eternal limbo
Crying help, save yourself if you can
And your fairy tale land
And now Paradise has started
slipping back to the sea
Listen to me

I'm on my way
00:59

Everybody wants to belong
To someone
Somehow, some day
Somewhere someone wants to belong
To you
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way

Hold on to Love
03:38
|
|||
|
Hold on to love it’s a simple love
It’s a love that cannot be denied
Hold on to love it’s a simple love
And it’s gonna show the reason why
Me I think you’re really fine
Never get a minute when you go away
From my mind
Hold on to me I’m a lonely man
And you give me all I really need
Hold on to you you’re a lovely girl
And you give me all I really need
Hold on to you you’re a lovely girl
And I love deep in word and deed
You I think you’re really fine
Never get a minute when you go away
From my mind
Asked me what I was doing
I said I didn’t know
I said the garden we grew in
That’s where I want to grow
So we swam in the sunset
And we danced in the sea
I knew that I’d have to love you
I knew you had to hold
I knew you had to hold
Hold on
Hold on to love it’s a crazy love
It’s a love that cannot be denied
Hold on to love it’s a crazy love
And it’s got to show the reason why
Me I think you really fine
Never get a minute when you go away
From my mind
Hold on, Hold to Love
Why don’t you hold on

Not mad about You
03:01

|
I really dug your flamingos
and all the apes in your zoo
I really liked your wild dingoes
But I’m not mad about you
But I’m not mad about you
You know you’re not being serious
When you say what you do
You send the doctor delirious
And he can’t get over you
Oh you are a silly bitch
You never get me right
Pull a switch and down I go
Into the gloom night
Ooh
And I can’t get over you
I can’t get over you
And I can’t get across you
I can’t get across you
Ooh
Ah

O Boy I'm Cold
02:17
|

|
Oh boy I’m cold
Dunno why my daddy won’t let me
Go steal some coal
I suppose he’s scared they’ll get me
Or maybe he thinks that it’s bad
Not to take what you have and be glad
You’re alive
Oh boy I’m cold
But that aint nothing new inside of this
Tumble down hole
It always has been so
But now the snow and the frost’s on the ground
And there aint enough food to go round
And it’s Oh
Oh boy I’m cold
But so is mommy and daddy and granny
And she’s getting old
But I see in their eyes it’s okay
For they’ve spent all their lives in this way
Oh boy I’m cold
And if I had some wood I’d take it
And block up this hole
Where the door don’t close
And where the wind comes and laughs in my face
Like it laughs at the whole human race
As it if knows
Oh boy I’m cold

Meet me at seven don’t you be late
I got a bee in my bonnet and I might not wait
Listen Carly Monique
Don’t want to play hide and seek
Hey now life’s a letter Carly’s a stamp
Fountain pen boogie and writers cramp
Listen Carly Monique
Don’t want to play hide and seek
Well you’ve got the cheek to face me
You’ve got the cheek to space me
Don’t you know that you’ve got the nerve to hold me
My Carly Monique
When the sky island’s on the horizon
And that old wind is singing scat
Down through the trees
In your sweet heart I’ll find my asylum
Ooh
Sweet Racola life is a gas
Heard it from Reuters, copyright Tass

Don’t want to play hide and seek
Hey now life’s a letter, Carly’s a stamp
Fountain pen boogie and writers cramp

You’ve got the cheek to space me
Don’t you know that you’ve got the nerve to hold me
