"Wizard Of The Worldly Game"

"Wizard Of The Worldly Game"


For seven years I've stood right here
And the flowers grow green by day
All for the yarns that I was told
I spread my arms when they grew cold
And warded off the rain
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
The grass that is trodden underfoot
Give it time and it will surely rise again
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
And I'll bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
And who will rise again
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
The grass that is trodden underfoot
Give it time and it will surely rise again
It's laughter dust, the Derby's just
Be do be law be done
Wile to win and wise to pain
Wizard of the worldly game
Treasoned into trust
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
The grass that is trodden underfoot
Give it time and it will surely rise again

"Ye Mariners All"

"Ye Mariners All"


Oh, ye mariners all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this
Oh, ye mariners all, if you've half a crown
You're welcome all for to sit down
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this
Oh, ye gentlemen all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Call in and drink, think naught amiss
And pop your nose in a jug of this
And now I'm old and can scarcely drawl
Have an old grey beard and a head that's bald
Fell my desire, fulfill my bliss
A pretty girl and a jug of this
Oh, when I'm in my grave and dead
And all my sorrows are past and fled
Transform me then into a fish
And let me swim in a jug of this
Oh, ye mariners all, as you pass by
Call in and drink if you are dry
Come spend, my lads, your money brisk
And pop your nose in a jug of this

"Yellow Bird"

"Yellow Bird"


Yellow bird, yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
They're all the same, the pretty girls
Take tenderness then they fly away
Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Let her fly away, in the sky away
Pick a town and soon, take from night to noon
Black and yellow, you, like banana too
They might pick you some day
Wish that I was a yellow bird
I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothin' else to do
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird

"You Never Wanted Me"

"You Never Wanted Me"


Wondering and waiting, my back against the wall
Not a word that passed between us comes to recall
Just your shadow at the window as you pass on down the hall
You never wanted me and never knew me at all
I haven't any picture to set before my eyes
Nothing I can blame when the blues start to rise
Just the memory of laughter and a living out of lies
But if I could change my ways we would never have said goodbye
If you ever get the time, please think of me
It's a lock that can't be broken and there isn't any key
I'm only in your mind, only you can set me free
You can't hurt me anymore and it isn't hard to see
Someday, someone will leave you and I know you'll feel the same
But you'll mark it down to memory and a dream that never came
But there are no answers given when love is just a game
And you never wanted me and now I feel the same

"You're Gonna Need My Help"

"You're Gonna Need My Help"


You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry, I'll have everything goin' my way

You wake up in the morning, your face so full of frowns
Asked you: 'What's wrong?', you say: 'I'm sorry, I'm puttin' you down'

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry 'cause I'll have everything goin' my way

Well, you leave home in the morning and you won't come back tonight
You won't give me no food, you still say you treat me right

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry 'cause I'll have everything goin' my way

You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry 'cause I'll have everything goin' my way

Well, you wake up in the morning, your face so full of frowns
Asked you: 'What's wrong?', you say: 'I'm sorry, I'm puttin' you down'

Well, you're gonna need, you're gonna need my help, I say
You know I won't have to worry 'cause I'll have everything goin' my way
