"Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City"
(originally by Bobby "Blue" Bland)



Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nough is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around
Baby, since you been around.

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nough is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go, well, it seems so strange.
Without you, baby, baby, things have changed.
Now that you re gone y'know the sun don't shine
From the city hall to the county line.

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nough is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go, well, it seems so strange.
Without you, baby, baby, things have changed.
Now that you re gone y'know the sun don't shine
From the city hall, woman, to the county line.

And that's why ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nough is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nough is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around
'cos you ain't around.

"All Along The Watchtower"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"All Along The Watchtower"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late
Hey

Hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin
And the wind began to howl
Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower

"All Good Books"

"All Good Books"



If Jesus could hear us now
Bending all his words
Of which he's proud
But the carpenter was only
Making invitations
Voicing the opinions of others

Sending down a word
That travels well
Only as a vessel
As a bell
And the violence you've mistaken
In the words you took to be taken
And the images of hatred
Against all that we're worth
All that you love
All that you give
All we hold dear

If Mohammed could see us now
Shaking down the walls
But not as prayer
And the power games that play out
And the lies that come within out
Against all we are worth
All we hold dear
All that is true
All that we love
All we dream of
All that you give

"All I Wanna Do (Is Be With You)"

"All I Wanna Do (Is Be With You)"



I'm not out to convince you,
But draw upon your mind.
I'm not out to race you,
You know I'm not that kind.

All I wanna do is, be with you
All I wanna do is, be with you.

I'm not here to begin ya,
I'm neither clever nor confused.
I'm not looking to steal ya,
Don't want you feeling used.

All I wanna do is, be with you
All I wanna do is, be with you.

I've given dust
I feel the most
I twist and turn (turn)
I'm lost and found
In the moment
In a single, moment.

I'm not out to chain you,
Lead you far, and from behind.
I'm not here to claim you,
You know I'm not that kind.

All I wanna do is, be with you
All I wanna do is, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you

All I wanna do is, be with you
With you
Be with you.

"All On A Misty Morning"

"All On A Misty Morning"




I come to you
When you least expect
I call to you
To come with me now
I ask of you
To drop all things
Of absolution
And whatever may be
In your hands

All on a misty morning
I come to you with love
All on a misty morning
I come to you
I come to you with love

I talk to you
As a lover should
With a voice
Close to your ear
If I may
Get so near enough
You might hear
What I hear

It was all on a misty morning
I come to you with love
All on a misty morning
I come to you
I come to you with love

Let my hands be nimble
Let my tongue be quick
Let my loins move slowly
Against your skin

Let my face and mind
Disappear for a while
Let my kisses rain
Down like silk

Let our spit and sweat
Mingle into one
Let it form a stream
Of union
That would always run
Forever on

It would have no start
And know no end
It would have no start
And know no end

All on a misty morning
I come to with love
All on a misty morning
I come to you
I come to you with love

"All The Pictures On The Wall"

"All The Pictures On The Wall"



And all the pictures on the wall
Serve only to remind you of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give
There was a time I really loved you
But when that was I just can't say
As all the memories merge into one
As each day becomes each day

The clock hands ticking on the wall
Are just reminders of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give

We used to meet each others' eyes
And that's all we'd have to say
Now we don't talk that much at all
The further our eyes seem to stray

And in a funny kind of way
This empty room was full one day
Full of love that we once shared - now it all looks so bare
The silent walls whose cracks I feel -
But is there room to let the hatred heal?

"All Year Round"

"All Year Round"



Our eyes meet across the floor
We don't have to say much more
Lets take a chance on it
Say you'll be mine till Spring
We kiss on crowded streets
We kiss everytime we meet
Who knows how it will go
Stay here till summer comes

I love you more each day God sends
Love you because you are my friend
Oh, don't say our luck has blown
Oh stick with it till autumn goes

Lets make love in the light
Sleep together every night
Oh, with dark days all about
Oh, lets stay together, see the winter out

"Amongst Butterflies"

"Amongst Butterflies"




The sunny sand we ran along, every day began upon
The summer's kiss of love and adventure
And every dune that we fell into left a mark upon us too
Etched forever as a moment we'd remember, oh and we'd remember

The empty woods where we played, every hour of every day
The holidays went on forever
And in the woods was a soldier's tomb, the ghost of which looked over you
And God was there amongst the trees, we felt his whisper as the summer's breeze
And every night and every day I learned to love it in a special way
As I remember, what it's like to walk amongst butterflies

"Andromeda"

"Andromeda"




Tiny, tiny shades of light
Came dancing gently through my window
As I waved goodbye
To my other life

The dying planet grew darker still
My thirsty engines took me up and then
I could see the embers
Of Andromeda

I'm not anywhere, I'm here
And I'm not waiting any longer
For this world to be still

I raise my glass and I remember her
Oh sweet Andromeda

My mood gets lifted with the gravity's pull
Looks like I'm smiling but I'm dying too
We only mirror our surroundings
Oh sweet Andromeda

"Around The Lake"

"Around The Lake"



There's a vacuum
In the back room
Of a ballroom after dark

There's a triumph
In the buy out
Of a sell out in the park

It's only in the gaps we find
A solace in the quiet
That leads us to we know not where
It all goes on around the lake

Some insurance
After paying
Sometimes rush
Who knows? Not us

It's only in the weeds that bind
Some barbed wire in your diet
That leads us where we don't belong
If alt grows dark around the lake
Jt all goes on around the lake

Some disturbance
In the hedges
On the ledges
Very tall

Some commotion
Like a ripple
On the water
from a pebble thrown
