"Nomad"

"Nomad"



Gone, with the northern sun
'cross that far horizon
World of a thousand faces
I can't find my oases
There's a black ice in the sky
And wells are runnin' dry
Doomed to voyage till life's end
Load up, strike campaign

Gone, along the highway ribbons
Past city dwellings
I can see how far they are
From the stickers on their cars
But I'm a nomad
Can't look far ahead
It's a voyage till life's end
Load up, strike campaign

Doomed to travel till life's end
Load up

Yeah I've seen you down below
From my hotel window
On the run, Star Trek's on
We've got a dream in common
We've got a dream in common
We've got a dream

"Now I Have"

"Now I Have"



Sick, I'm sick of you now man
Why don't you believe me when
I say I admire that fountain of love
The only thing you're thinking of
Well now I have
She won't treat me cruel like you
And I'm sure I love her too
You said I'm only refusing the pain
I hope I find real love again
Well now I have
No more of who I be
I'll just set you free
Rush up do what's wrong
I don't believe no one
You said I'm only refusing the pain
I hope I find real love again
Well now I have
Sick, I'm sick of you now man
Why don't you believe me when
I say I admire that fountain of love
The only thing you're thinking of
Well now I have
Well now I have

"On A Night Like You"

"On A Night Like You"


You know the first time I saw the X-Files
I was stoned as usual
Here comes Scully walking in
Zappin' through the Cartwrights
Fox Mulder went and lost his gun
He keeps holding on to the flashlight

Shining bright on lost memories
Scully, I can't forget your sweet sixteen
I'm not an alien
I fear it's not a dream
I wish you'd recognize the voice
That sang your favourite song

At Kansas City Airport
Got the jukebox on wheels, hello
There's a Talkin' Head silently
Tappin' on my shoulder
I'm standing there I'm stunned
Flying high as a kite
My hero he turns out to be
Just an ordinary guy
Lickin' on a lollypop
Looking insecure
One look in his eyes and I knew for sure
I might never come this close, to a rising star
I may be crazy, but he killed me with that song

And oh, on a night like you [3x]
When memories explode....

Faster, faster
It's pure delight
Flashing past and blinding my eyes
Memories you've been trying to blow away
Keep on coming back again

The band is in the basement
It's Saturday night
In Richmond, VA after a gig with The Pie
Seeing it all through the clouds of my birthday surprise
Delicious Donna decides to write a new episode

I remember being introduced
Stevie's face was small
He just kept me reeling
Man, we were laughing at the dark
Getting ready to march all the way back home to Mars
One last fuel stop at Itchycoo Park

And oh, on a night like you [3x]
When memories tend to explode

"One Huge Road"

"One Huge Road"



Sunshine, I'm late back and happy
I wish I could stay here forever
When the sun's gone
I just can't be lazy
Movin' on, to see my baby
So I pack my things and I'm going
The highway, going on my way

Gotta move on, the road is much too long, too long
One huge road for one, one huge road for one

"One Night Without You"

"One Night Without You"



Don't care where you've been
(Last night, last night)
I don't care, but I hate to lose control
(Uptight, uptight)
I get emotional
(headaches, bad vibes)
Bein' here just on my own,
Waitin' for someone like you

They say, alcohol and cigarettes,
Are worth dyin' for
Your gamble is a bet,
I just can't afford

One night, one night without you

I'm dying, but I'm wide awake
(Getting angry)
You're a sinner and you ain't no saint for sure
(Sounds like, she's a hardcore)
Can't live without your love
(He's innocent, she's a whore)
Bein' here just on my own,
Waitin' for someone like you

They say, alcohol and cigarettes,
Are worth dyin' forYour gamble is a bet,
I just can't afford

One night, one night without you

"One Shot Away From Paradise"

"One Shot Away From Paradise"



I wanna talk to you,
Please let me talk to you
But you don't let me in
I wanna hold you
But I don't know where to begin

One shot away from paradise
I'll be there to open your eyes

You're hidin', hidin' in your head
Layin' on your bed
You're zoning away, got nothing to say
You're hiding, you lock yourself away
Day after day
But don't you know I'm with you
It's hard to be with you

Lemme tell ya
One shot away from paradise
I'll be there to open your eyes

You're smilin', baby you're smilin'
That's when I know you're coming home
That's when I feel I'm not alone
No no

You're crying, sometimes you're crying
That's when I know we're still alive
That's when I feel we will survive
'Cause baby don't you know that
I'll be there to open your eyes
I'll be there when you open your eyes
We're just one shot away from paradise
I'll be waiting with my arms open wide

"One Word"

"One Word"



There's a heartache, come over me
Can't be imagination
I worry and I cry for you
Guess I'll have to learn to live with it
A heartache hauntin' me
Feels like electrocution
I'm hurt, you never understood
One word, one word

Who are you, sittin' on your throne
I used to be a slave in your temple
Now you tell me that you're so alone
On the run for your life
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better

Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home
One word, makes all a difference in the world
One word
One is being born
Two is what you're going for
Three is the price you pay
For what you've been lookin' for
And the word is love, love
One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better

Do now, do now what you wanna do
Tell a lie now, tell the truth
There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome
So follow your footsteps home

One look through the eyes of a stranger
One night in the arms of a fool
One glance down the shaft of a goldmine
Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better
One word, makes all a difference in the world
Make one hell of a difference in the world
One word, one single word

"Orwell's Year"

"Orwell's Year"



We have been waitin' for this, to put an end to all this
Oh there's works to be done, oh there's work under the sun
Happy New Year
In the back alley, millionaire valley
Trafalgar, Time Square and the who knows where
Big Brother's watching you
Baby's got a computer tutor
Daddy is a trouble shooter
Fat cookie in a soylent green
From a kitchen that you've never seen
It's all shiny chrome - attaching your chromosomes
Say - count to four - Count to 1 - 9 - 84
Welcome, welcome to 1984
Orwell's year is here, Orwell's year is here

It's the ministry of energy
The ministry of ecology
The university of food and economy
The ministry of war and explosions
The ministry of you and me
Minus Orwell's sanity
Welcome everybody, to be a nobody
The ministry of heavenly peace
Big Brother's watching you
Orwell's year is here, Orwell's year is here

Say you wanna hear some more
Big Brother's watching you, Big Brother's watching you

"Over The Cliff Into The Deep Deep Blue"

"Over The Cliff Into The Deep Deep Blue"



Getting stoned on a Saturday
Afternoon on river lake
Beyond just a piece of cake
Yet in all, miles away

Over the cliff
Into the deep deep blue
Watch me flyin’
(Watch me flyin’)
Safe and waterproof
A qualified
Fools for you
Over the cliff
Into the deep below

It’s cold and the skies are gray
Walking dogs in the pouring rain
Seems like time somehow escaped
‘Fore I knew it was getting late

Over the cliff
Into the deep deep blue
Always tryin’
To get in touch with you
And the rain of light
For just a simple truth
A qualified
Fools for you

Breathin’ water and I’m fightin’ for air
As if there’s nothing left more to fear
And we feel totally innocent
Close my eyes and call my pussy

With one last fortress to defend
With one last word left in the sand

It’s cold and the skies are gray
Walking dogs in the pouring rain
Walking dogs in the pouring rain

"Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux"

"Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux"



When Jorma the witch raised her hand
You could hear her awful laughing
Stirring in a boiling jar
While the raven was almost starving
Then she went into the fields
And she went into the marsh
With a satchel on her back
To find the bats and to find the herbs
While the raven was sitting on her neck

Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux

Satisfied, but in her mind she was screaming
About the best trick
Ever done by a witch
And it was steaming

But then came the night of the full moon
She challenged S.W. Johanna
S.W. Johanna accepted the challenge
And said I'll show you what I can, yeah
Many days they fought one another
You know what she went through
With a smiling face Jorma returned, whispering

Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux
