"Ireland"

"Ireland"


There is a land that I can go to
When I have time to rest.
All the people I love are there
And those who love me best.

Then I heard the wind
Calling from over the sea
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"

This land I go to when I'm tired
And need to see and walk in green.
The people who can laugh and drink
And see things others have not seen.

Then I heard the wind
Calling from over the sea,
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"

There is another side to this pure land,
A side of blood and guilt and pain

A side of enemy and friend
And sorrow at the hearth side stain.

Then I heard the wind
Crying from over the sea,
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"

There is a land that I can go to
When I have time to rest.
All the people I love are there
And those who love me best.

Then I heard the wind
Calling from over the sea,
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"

"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free?"

"Is This What I Get For Loving You?"

"Is This What I Get For Loving You?"


There's been a lot of talk around
That you've been seen with a certain party
& now I'm so afraid I'm losing you, oh baby
Don't tell me you don't want my love
I couldn't give it to just anybody
Baby won't you tell me it's not true?

[Bridge:]
Don't leave me, baby
Don't tell me it's over
After I trusted you
And did my best to make you happy

[Chorus:]
Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?
Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?
There was a night when you held me tight
& you said you'd always love me
You said you'd never hurt me

What would there be left for me?
It's such a cruel world to be alone in
I always needed you to look out for me, oh baby
I'm gonna miss your loving arms
They're the only arms I feel at home in
Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Don't leave me baby

[Chorus to fade]

"Isolation"

"Isolation"


Don't they know we're so afraid,
Isolation.
We're afraid to be alone
Everbody's got to have a home
Isolation.

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world,
Isolation.
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down,
Isolation.

I don't expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But then again you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane.

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun,
Isolation.
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years,
Isolation.

"It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry"

"It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry"


Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night,
Leanin' on the window sill.
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

Don't the moon look good, mama,
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
Flagging down the "double e"?
Don't the sun look good

Going down over the sea?
But don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?

Well, the wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say I never wanted you
When your train gets lost.

"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"


You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you'd better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are coming through
And it's all over now, baby blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, baby blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.

Your empty-handed armies are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, baby blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind you, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, baby blue.

"Jaberwock"

"Jaberwock"


'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsey were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"beware the jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that snatch!
Beware the jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought??
He rested 'neath the tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And while in uffish thought he stood,
The jabberwock, with eyes aflame

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! one, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"and hast thou slain the jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! callooh! callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsey were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Kimbie"

"Kimbie"


Kimbie wants a nine dollar show
Kimbie wants a nine dollar show
She wants a nine dollar show
And I need
Well baby where you been so long

Baby where you been so long
I've been in that state pen
With them rough and rowdy,
Rough and rowdy, rough and rowdy men
Well baby where you been so long

Baby where you been so long
I've been in your state pen
And I gotta go back again
Well baby where you been so long

Kimbie let your hair hang down
Kimbie let your hair, let it hang down
Let your hair hang down
And your bangs all curl around
Kimbie let your hair hang down

Kimbie let your hair, let it hang down
Let your hair hang down
And come the morning
You know I'll be gone
Well baby let your hair hang down

Well I wished I was a mole in the ground
I wished I were a mole in the ground
I was a mole in the ground
And that I'd tear, I'd tear this mountain down
Wished I was a mole in the ground

"Kissin' Time"

"Kissin' Time"


Oh, don't sell me out, only love.
You don't get it so well.

Please tell someone
Everything is gone
Dream less of me, less to guess on you
I felt so much
Every tick and tussle
Heart torn because it's a kissin' time.

So pass on by -
You'll never find out
I love someone else
Find your God
You'll find yourself
But, he falls
I'm confessing to you
Just my guess
It's a kissin' time.

He can't pass on you
Oh no, I see far right through you.

Please understand my kissin' song
Think for yourself,
It's a lesson, guess it's kissin' time.
Heart torn because
Parts of me I'd sell myself
Oh, just in time I'm assessing myself.

Someone told me
Keep on - hold me
Don't let go until I reach the other side.

Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again

Someone told me - keep on hold me
Don't let go until I reach the other side.

Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come

Time
Time
Time

"Lady Madeleine"

"Lady Madeleine"


Oh, lady Madeleine,
I miss you baby, I can't stand the pain.
And I walk down the avenue
And I think of you, lady Madeleine.

And mich?, what will she do
Without you, lady Madeleine?
And I walk down the avenue
And I'm missing you, lady Madeleine.

And spanish tony don't know what to do,
He's missing you, darling Madeleine.
His strange world has all fallen through
And he wonders, was his love in vain?

And I think I might go quite insane
With the scenes here lady Madeleine.
So I walk down the avenue
And I miss you, lady Madeleine.

And spanish tony, he don't know what to do,

He's missing you, darling Madeleine.
His strange world has all fallen through
And he wonders, was his love in vain?

And I think I might go quite insane
With the scenes here darling Madeleine.
So I walk down the avenue
And I miss you lady Madeleine.

Yes, I walk down the avenue
And I think of you lady Madeleine.
Yes, I walk down the avenue
And I miss you lady Madeleine.

Oh, I walk down the avenue
And I think of you, darling Madeleine.
Oh, I walk down the avenue
And I miss you, lady...

"Last Song"

"Last Song"


Lost his own, taken down
All his songs
Till his all alone
And all our love was harmed
'cept for you

I'm only young, favourite son
Say you tried, take it back
To where you belong
And all the things you say
Still untrue

We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lonely homes
We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lovely homes

Do what you want to do!

I was digging up, sorting out,
Only to built a song alone
Till you came along
But all my love was there
Just all for you
And in the darkest time
We crossed the line
Made a song
Cause all the talk was wrong
And all you ever won
Can still be true

We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lonely homes
We saw the green fields
Turn into stone
Such lonely homes

We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lovely homes
We saw the green fields
Turn into stone
Such lonely stone

Now all my love is out
It's just for you

It's not a love song
It's the last song for you
