"Coulter's Candy"



Ally bally bally bally be
Sittin' on yer mamy's knee
Greetin' for a wee baw bee
Tae buy some COULTER'S CANDY

Poor wee baim yer lookin' awfull thin,
A' yer jaw is aw drawn in
Could it be wi sookin'
Wi sooking the COULTER'S CANDY

I had a little nut tree
nothing would it bear
But a silver nut meg
And a golden pear.

The Queen of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me
And all on account
Of my little nut tree

Ally bally bally bally be
Sittin' on yer mamy's knee
Greetin' for a wee baw bee
Tae buy some COULTER'S CANDY

"Crazy 'Bout A Woman"

"Crazy 'Bout A Woman"



I'm crazy 'bout a woman living in the neighbourhood
Well, she's the kind of woman don't mean no one no good
She got the ways of a devil sleeping in the lion's den
I come home last night and she wouldn't even let me in
You know, you're the kind of woman I just don't understand
You taken all my money and you give it to another man
That kind of woman I just don't understand, pretty mama
You taken all my money and you give it to another man

Well, you're the kind of woman don't mean no one no good
You're always doing things that you should
You are the kind of woman make a man lose his brains
You're that kind of woman drive a man insane
You know, you're the kind of woman makes a man lose his brains
And you're that kind of woman you're gonna drive this man insane
Now, you give me the blues, now I guess you're satisfied, pretty mama
You give me the blues, now I wanna lay down and die

Yeah, I'm crazy 'bout a woman living in the neighbourhood
She's the kind of woman don't mean no one no good
She got the ways of a devil sleeping in the lion's den, sure she has
She's that kind of woman she's gonna drive me insane
You know, sometimes you're as sweet, babe, as anybody wants to be
Then you get a crazy notion and you're jumpin' all over me
Now you give me the blues, now I guess you're satisfied, pretty mama
Hey, you give me the blues, now I wanna lay down and die, oh
You give me the blues, now I wanna lay down and die

"Cryin' Shame"

"Cryin' Shame"



Food in abundance, beggars and banks,
God in His Heaven and His priests in tanks.
Gold in the misery, sewer in the mind,
Greed and corruption of every kind.
They all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your head, look away again.
They all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your head, look away again.
They all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.
Fools in the Parliament, pollution in the stream,
T.V., poverty and the big bad dream.
Sex in the cinema, fear in the school,
Censorship committees, they rule/we're cool.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn your heads, look away again.
Composure in the little pill, courage in the beer,
Mummy and daddy and the life of fear.
Human relationships cast away,
I hope we get together one of these days.
And they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.
Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame
To turn their heads, look away again.

"Curry Land"

"Curry Land"



Lady, you are my peace of mind
Were I to seek your par none I could find
You delicately went to curry land
And left a lonely man, ah me, yogi blue

He thought to himself as he sat before
His stocks and shares a dreadful bore
If I'm to live another happy day
I best make haste and be on my way

He at his desk did write and indicate
To lawyer, friend and intimate
His lamentable grief did necessitate
The need for one swift bird to sail the ocean o'er

A sailing schooner was soon seen sailing,
Swift and silent, around the sound
Salutating seagulls heralding
The wonderous transport upon the wing

Twenty days from Goa they did espire
A wealthy merchant bound for Arabi-iy
Echanging greetings, had he heard the news
The Lady Hall had drowned, the price of Ninevah rose

Storms and tempests his shatterd mind beset
Hurricanes of pains raged and tore
Truly drowned in grief, he did repair
To haunted trinkets and gross despair

All in white 'neath shade in bamboo chair
Military discipline has replaced despair
Anchored in the bay of innocence
Is left a lonely man, lonely through and through
Through and through
Through and through

"Cuttin' Out"

"Cuttin' Out"



I went down to jose's pool
To see if she was there
I didn't find nobody
Nobody anywhere

So I cut on out of there
I cut on out of there

I was standing behind this colored man
In a bar way down town
I didn't said not one was
We didn't care down

We just cut on out of there
Cut on out of there

"Dare To Be Different"

"Dare To Be Different"



Dare to be different - learn to be lonely
Dare to be different - learn to be lonely
If you don't want to, do what the rest do
Dare to be different
If you think you've got it - why don't you flaunt it
If you think you've got it - why don't you flaunt it
If you don't want to, do what the rest do
Dare to be different
Dare to be different - Dare to be different
Dare to be different - Dare to be different
If you don't want to, do what the rest do
Dare to be different
If you don't like it - Why don't you bike it
If you don't like it - Why don't you bike it
If you can't stand it - be like a bandit
Dare to be different

"Dark-Eyed Blue Jean Angel"

"Dark-Eyed Blue Jean Angel"



My love she's a flower
Perfuming the air where'er she blooms,
With her silk and her incense
Harmonising hotel rooms.
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Red Egyptian hair,
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Watch the people stare.
I bought you lace and velvet,
And Victoriana trinket,
Dressed you up in Art Nouveau
When nobody else kink it.
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Red Egyptian hair,
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Watch the people stare.
Dark-eyed blue jean angel,
Pre-Raphaelite child,
Let loose your henna braid,
Fuzz your hair out wild,
Fuzz your hair out wild.

"Darkness Of My Night"

"Darkness Of My Night"



The long, long breezes are blowing down the sky
From my window to the street I cast my weary eye
Everything is quite in the lonesome dusky light
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night

Oh, I remember days when the sun was warm with love
Softening as the day grew old in dazzling streaks of golds
Now my days are bleak and the sunset's a cruel sight
Oh, I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night

Oh, I feel I want to ramble to the shores of the mighty sea
Pounding in my ears, the wind so wild and free
To stumble in the high grass and the sand a-glowing white
My eyes they fill, they break and spill the darkness of my night

My sorrow is confusing, my love will never know
My empty hands they lie down by my side so low
I walk this sleeping town and the highway a-glittering bright
Oh, I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night

"Dear Heart"

"Dear Heart"



Dear heart, ever since the first time
Our hearts have beat as one
Here among the chaos below
Longing only for your song

Love is the melody
Always for you and me
Love is the harmony
The bond between you and me
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart

Dear one, never ever sing
For me your love has gone
Forever and forever
We have known the constant one

Love is the melody
Always for you and me
Strong is the harmony
The bond between you and me
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart

Love is the melody
Always for you and me
Strong is the harmony
The bond between you and me
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart

Dear one, never ever sing
For me your love has gone
Forever and forever
You will be the only one

Love is the melody
Always for you and me
Strong is the harmony
The bond between you and me
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart
Dear heart, dear heart, dear heart

"Deep Peace"

"Deep Peace"



Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace deep peace
Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you
Deep peace of the wandering wind to you
Deep peace of the flock of stars to you
Deep peace deep peace
Deep peace of the eastern wind to you
Deep peace of the western wind to you
Deep peace of the northern wind to you
Blue wind of the south to you
Pure red of the whirling flame to you
Pure white of the silver moon to you
Pure green of the emerald grass to you
Deep peace deep peace
