"The Street And Babe Shadow"

"The Street And Babe Shadow"


Tiger tim, the tightrope walker,
Tried to steal, the dragons daughter,
Babe, I do mean, babe.

Menace lurks in houses only,
Where the hearts are fat and bony,
Babe, I do mean babe.

Golden risks and follys rainbow,
Down the drain where all the time goes,
Babe, I do mean babe.

Frozen joe the ballet boxer,
Chromed his toes to get his rocks oh
Babe, I do mean babe.

All the rats and all the peacocks,
Built a ship and flew to venus,
Babe, I do mean babe.

Pain is meat and meat is people,
Your head's a house, your soul the steeple,
Babe, I do mean babe.

Painted toes and purple earlobes,
Life's a gas but it's such a scene though,
Babe, I do mean babe.

Shake

Babe, I do mean babe,
I could tell you something,
I could tell you something,
Babe, I do mean babe.

"The Throat Of Winter"

"The Throat Of Winter"


O the throat of winter is upon us
The barren barley fields refuse to sway
Before the Husky hag of early darkness
In her hoods of snowy grey.

Winter winter winter
Are you but a servant of the bad one.

Lo the frozen blue birds in the belfries
The bluebells in their hearts are surely prey
Unto the grasping bats-wing of the winter pincer
Hoods of snowy grey.

"The Time Of Love Is Now"

"The Time Of Love Is Now"


Light up your face
With all the love within you
Say your word
Make it heard

Light up the wind
With all the kings inside you
Shout it out
Have no doubts
For the time of love is now

Light up your head
With things the children said child
Make a start
From your heart

Light up the world
With poems from within you
Shout it out
Have no doubts
For the time of love is now

And your days of love
Are always in a dream
You know.

"The Travelling Tragition"

"The Travelling Tragition"


Shadow cloak swift as a swallow,
Pantaloon down in the hollow,
Dancing, his voice like a cloud
In the death of my night.

Awful eyes, black Persian beggar,
Harlequinesque, hair plaited heather,
Stepping so lightly,
A sprite in the house of my sight.

Oh m'dear, travelling Tragition,
It's sky clear, you're a gift from the fair folk.

"The Visit"

"The Visit"


My eyes went up
It was sunrise
The sky turned black
It was noon

A ship of the silverest
Metal
Shadowed out
All of the moon

A shape
That was golden and crimson
Extend a claw
To my frame

I sunk in the sand
Like an infant
I screamed
But my tongue was lame

My heart on a platter
They'd stolen
My eyes
Were all fiery flame

A sound like sweet dove
I did stutter
And then the ship
Swum the skies again

"The Wizard"

"The Wizard"


Walking in the woods one day
I met a man who said that he was magic
Wonderful things he said
Pointed hat upon his head
Knew why people laughed and cried
Why they lived and why they died

Shadows followed him around
He walked the woods without a single sound
Golden eagles at his door
Cats and bats played on the floor
Silver sunlight in his eyes
The wizard turned and melted in the sky.

"The Woodland Bop"

"The Woodland Bop"


Everybody's doing the Woodland Bop
Once you start you will find it hard to stop.
In the hallowed morning
See her in the moon-white
Streaking across the skies
In the evening dusk dunes
See her like a sun bird
Streaking across the skies

"Think Zinc"

"Think Zinc"


People passing by, all through the night
They use my senses in strange ways
She knows just what you are, like a fading star
And she uses my senses in strange ways

You've got to think zinc
Think a, think a
Think a, think a
Think a, think a
Ooh

You've got to think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Zinc, zinc
Ooh

People passing by, all through the night
They use my numbers in strange ways
Over the telephone, you should hear them groan
I crossed his wires in strange ways

You've got to think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Zinc, zinc
Ooh

All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc
All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc

People passing by, all through the night
They use my senses in strange ways
She knows just what you are, like a fading star
And she uses my senses in strange ways

You've got to think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Zinc, zinc
Ooh

All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc
All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc
All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc
All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc

Oh hmm hmm

People passing by, all through the night
They use my numbers in strange ways
Over the telephone, you should hear them groan
I crossed his wires in strange ways

You've got to think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Think a, think zinc
Zinc, zinc
Ooh

All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc
All my favourite people child, you gotta think zinc

Think zinc, think zinc baby
Think zinc, think zinc baby

"Thunderwing"

"Thunderwing"


I was walking down the skyway my way
When I saw the legs that I love
I was thinking about drinking something
When I saw the legs that I love
I bought a car 'twas a low slung thunderwing
It moved like the sun of the dawn
My little baby she's a tip-a-toed vamp rider
She moves like the sun of the dawn
Ooh
Yeah, get it on
Do your thing,
Love on the Thunderwing
Do your thing, love on the Thunderwing
Yeah
Get it on, get it on whooo
Well my wings had grooves
And my baseball boots bounce
When I hear the music I love
A soapbox chord was the start of my wandering
When I hear the music I love

"Till Dawn"

"Till Dawn"


One and a two and a three and four, hey

Golden eyes on a sunset lawn
Make me feel so glad to be born
Broken pages on the edge of night
Make me want to squeeze you tight
Till dawn
Till dawn oh

Heat will fly on a sky of gold
Rivers flow like diamonds oh
Sweet angel girl I need you now
Locked around me like a burning house
Till dawn
Till dawn oh

Golden eyes on a sunset lawn
Make me feel so glad to be born
Broken pages on the edge of night
Make me want to squeeze you tight
Till dawn
Till dawn oh

Till dawn t-t-till dawn Till dawn t-t-till dawn
