"Easy Come Easy Go"

"Easy Come Easy Go"


Easy come, easy go
That's the way if love must have its stay
Then ours, it came-
Let it go

No remorse, no regret
We should part exactly as we met
Just easy come, easy go

We never dreamt of romantic dangers
Now that it ends- let's be friends
And not two strangers

Easy come, easy go
Here we are, so darling: au revoir
Easy come, easy go

"Epizootics!"

"Epizootics!"


Maman Neigho was frightened by Hawaiians
When all the veins ran out
When too much bone structure went missing
She thumbed the galleon Cacafuego

Forsook the eyebrows climbing into greasy black hairlines
Narcrotic leis yanked down around the melianomed ankles
Their putrid petals dropping, erasing the white shoes
Like a face being eaten by a jungle

Slabs of steam tables whiffing of onions and roses
Haunted Jacuzzis churning
All night the native bods squealing B-flat
Like choirs of pigs seeking revenge for stolen insulin

Blip, boost, bust, brother
That's how we copped a final
Reached this city without sound

Everywhere you turn
Bunkers of rubber hoses pronging up off the city's floor

Chirp, chime, clambaked, cups
Don't step on that rotting tartare

Just might bust your conk
Might lay your racket
Early black ickaroo

It's dense, tense
Unseen through, pound for pound
All the people,on the corners
Pushing each other around
Humping like buggers, touching like muggers
Pushing each other around

Adepocere in a zoot
Sloshing, karat, ballooning down the street
Thousand kilos simpy, forty stone send
Tips his skypiece, come to weigh me up

But I'm toned
Gut bucket
Ground grippers ready to trilly
Layin' down iron, togged to the bricks

Shh

Let's add a little shade
Try something apart from the hogshair
While Pope Julius affects his red slippers
Let Michelangelo tip-toe around in his dogskin boots

Shh

The powder on a chalky bosom
Rises and hangs in the air
Clouds crawling through protracted blue
Like souls of insects
From threshing haze
The scent of spider lilies

Sam P's bagged decapitation
Rotates to the ocean floor
Its nostrils are twitching and sniffing

Gabriel's gravy
Got your glasses on, gate
There's some mezz glimmers, a gammon V8

Twisters in the slammer
Frisking their whiskers
Till peola dim on the chime of black

It's dense, tense
Unseen through, pound for pound
Scratch and Jesus on the corner
Pushing each other around
Shoving like sluggers, touching like muggers
Pushing each other around

Snapping their caps, slidin' their jibs
Lampin' the brees, drapin' the trees

Oops, pardon the elbow
Let's just shift you over here
Sorry, I'm so clumsy
Take that accidently in the bollocks for a start

Seven brights jumped in port
Reached this city without sound
Kopasetic, on the corners
Pushing each other around
Everybody on the corners
Pushing each other around.

Joe below, hincty dicty
Slipped the pounders, fews and two
Knock me, boot me
Down in the land of darkness

Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower

I tried to
show ya
but ya didn't
want to go

Ya know
how to whistle
put ya lips

That's what

This night you
are mistaken

I'm a farmer
in the city

Dark farm
houses
against the
sky

Every night
I must wonder
why

Harness on the
left nail keeps
wrinkling wrinkling

Then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o

Can't go by
a man from
Rio

Can't go by
a man from
Vigo

Can't go by
a man from
Ostia

Hey Ninetto

Remember that
dream

We talked about
it
so many times

And if I'm not
mistaken
We can search
from farm to
farm

Dark farm houses
against our eyes

Every night I
must realize

Harness on the
left nail

Keeps withering
withering

Then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o

Can't go by
a man in
this shirt

Can't go by
a man in
that shirt

Can't go by a man
with brain
grass

Go by his long
long eye
gas

And I used
to be a
citizen

I never felt
the pressure

I knew nothing
of the horses

Nothing of the
thresher

Paolo
take me with
you

It was the
journey of
a life

Do I hear

"Frisco Depot"

"Frisco Depot"


Frisco's a full day from home, when you can afford to fly
But it might as well be to the moon, when you're as broke as I
Here I sit, with my head in my hands, and watch the trains roll by
Lord, the helping-hand mission man warned me the nights here got cold

When you're cold, there's nothing as welcome as sunshine
When you're dry, there's nothing as welcome as rain
When you're alone, there's nothing much slower than passing time
When you're afoot, there's nothing as fast as a train

Yes, Frisco's a mighty rich town and that ain't a lie
Why, they've got some buildings that reach a mile into the sky
Yet no-one can even afford the time just to tell me - why
Is this world full of people, and so many people alone?

When you're alone, you ain't got much reason for livin'
But while you're alive, you just got to live with your pain
Unless you've been alone for so long, there's no-one left for giving
And you find yourself searching your past, for the links to the chain

"Funeral Tango"

"Funeral Tango"


Oh I can see them now
Clutching a hankerchief
And blowing me a kiss
Discreetly asking how
How came he died so young
Or was he very old
Is the body still warm
Or is it already cold
All doors are open wide
They grope around inside
At my desk my drawers my trunk
There's nothing left to hide
Some love letters are there
And an old photograph
They've laid my poor soul bare
And now all they do is laugh

Oh I can see them all
So formal and so stiff
Like a sergeant at arms
At a policeman's ball
And everybody's pushing
To be the first in line
Their hearts upon their sleeves
Like a ten cent valentine
The old women are there
Too old to give a damn
They've brought along the kids
Who don't know who I am
They're thinking about the price of my funeral bouquet
What they're thinking isn't nice
For now they'll have to pay

Oh I see all of you
All of my phoney friends
Who can't wait for it ends
Who can't wait till it's through
Oh I see all of you
You've been laughing all these years
Now all that you have left
Are a few crocodile tears
Ah you don't even know
That you're entering your hell
As you leave my cemetary
You think you're doing well
With that one who's at your side
You're as proud as you can be
Ah she's going to make you cry
But not the way you cried for me

Oh I can see me now
So cold and so alone
As the flowers slowly die
In my field of little bones
Oh I can see me now
I can see me at the end
Of this voyage that I/m on
Without a love without a friend
Now all this that I see
Is not what I deserve
They really have a nerve
To say these things to me
No girls just bread and water
And your money you must save
For there'll be nothing left for us
When you're dead and in your grave

"Get Behind Me"

"Get Behind Me"


It's the signs as we see them
There's no thresholds at all
There's no vows to be broken
As we rise, or we fall
There's no noise high above us
As the moon turns in space
Just the face of a lady
Who we loved for her grace

Get behind me, Get behind me
Won't you bend my ear again
I really need a friend
Get behind me, Get behind me
Remind me to remind me
Not to go back there again

When the threads of dark moments
Start to tremble with sound
And an almost formed whisper dies
The boundaries surround
We keep reaching beyond us
Through the shape shifting clouds
Why ain't I like you brother,
So electric, so proud

Get behind me, Get behind me
Won't you bend my ear again
I really need a friend
Get behind me, Get behind me
Remind me to remind me
Not to go back there again

Set us free of this feeling
So we'll be once again
So we won't feel the gravity of time
And the face in the faces
Of the loves we move through
Reappears in original design

Get behind me, Get behind me
Won't you bend my ear again
I really need a friend
Get behind me, Get behind me
Remind me to remind me
Not to go back there again

"Glory Road"

"Glory Road"


Wearin' my high boots
Got all my wordlies here in a sack
Looking for something
Knowing that it ain't here where I'm at

I'm comin' back - I'm comin'
Ride by thumbin'
Get by bummin', I'm on my way

"Friend, have you seen Glory Road?
Say friend, I've got a heavy load
And I know Glory Road's waiting for me"

Caught me a pick-up down from Seattle to L.A.
Seems like those folks go chasin' a new star every day
Ain't gonna stay in Nevada - through Wyoming
Colorado - I'm on my way

"Friend, have you seen Glory Road?
Say friend, I've got a heavy load
And I know Glory Road's waiting for me"

It's so many autumns
Which way to go? -
Louisiana, New York City
They won't give the answer
They ask of me:

"Friend, have you seen Glory Road?
Say friend, I've got a heavy load
And I know Glory Road's waiting for me"

Rest my load, now I know
Glory Road won't set me free

"Hand Me Ups"

"Hand Me Ups"


Mend
Amend
Bring and rub
Beat the band
I tried
I tried
Shrugged off the splintering white bone
Teeth shaken out with a stroke
Brain running down along spear
from the wound in the eye hole
Stones pounding in
past the screens
past the shields
I felt the nail driving into my food
while I felt the nail driving into my hand
Rub a dub
God and bring
beat the band
I tried
I tried
what?
When you can't hear the bleating all night
Else he's strumming the springs of his cot
When?
What you can't see is
her tiny mouth
squealing and shrieking with laughter
Dispensing
with each little toe
each little finger
let them whirl away into the darkness
The pee pee soaked trousers
The torn muddied dress
No ankles at the gates at dusk
Ever caught the dawning
The audience is waiting
Its audience is waiting
Its audience is waiting
Its audience is waiting
No Fado live from last year's winning country
Twelve bunnies in a hutch for nine new weeks
The audience is waiting
Its audience is waiting
Its audience is waiting
Its audience is waiting
And it will catch my toes
It will catch my fingers
The pee pee soaked trousers
The torn muddied dress
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Mend

Shrugged off the splintering white bone

I felt the nail driving into my food
while I felt the nail driving into my hand

"Hero Of The War"

"Hero Of The War"


He's a hero of the war
All the neighborhood is talkin' 'bout your son
Mrs. Reiley get his medals
Hand them 'round to everyone
Show his gun to all the children in the street
It's too bad he can't shake hands or move his feet

He's a hero of the war
You can see his picture in the local news
Mrs. Reiley seems the girl next door is nowhere to be found
Once you couldn't keep that boy from hangin' 'round
Never mind dear, you're with your mum once more

He's a hero of the war
Like his dad he gave his life the war before
It was tragic how you almost died of pain when he was born
With no husband there beside you through it all
Ring the bell if you get hungry or you fall

You're a hero of the war
Why those teardrops on your cheek? it's so absurd
Feelin' empty it's the emptiness of heroes like your son
And what made him leave his mother for a gun
Driven forward driven back and nothing more

He's a hero of the war
