Danny Boy (live)

Danny Boy (live)


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.


But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

Dark Side Of The Sun

Dark Side Of The Sun


Is there a way out of this?
If there is I don't see it
Can heaven and hell coexist?
Not when both battle for dominance

Brush back my tears and he said "girl
We have to soldier on
Yes girl even when we don't feel strong"
So how many young men have to lay down
Their life and their love of their woman
For some sick promise of a heaven

Lies go back now to the garden
Even the four horses say all bets are off

We're on the dark side of the sun
We're on the dark side of the sun
We're on the dark side of the sun

Soon there'll be fast food on the moon
Painted in neon with For Sale signs up
You say "I'm more afraid of what
Tomorrow could bring to us"

Brushed back my tears and he said "girl
You have to soldier on
Yes girl even when you don't feel strong"

So how many young men have to lay down
Their life and their love of their woman
For some sick promise of a heaven

Bushes burn there on the mountain
Abraham and Ishmael turn back the clock

We're on the dark side of the sun
We're on the dark side of the sun

We're on the dark side of the sun

Desperado

Desperado


desperado, why don't you come to your senses
you been out ridin' fences for so long now
oh, you're a hard one
i know that you got your reasons
these things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow

don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
she'll beat you if she's able
you know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

now it seems to me, some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones that you can't get

desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
and freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walking through this world all alone

don't your feet get cold in the winter time
the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
it's hard to tell the night time from the day
you're loosin' all your highs and lows
ain't it funny how the feeling goes away

desperado, why don't you come to your senses
come down from your fences, open the gate
it may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
you better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Devils And Gods

Devils And Gods


Devils and gods now thatâ??s an idea
But if we believe that itâ??s they who decide
Thatâ??s the ultimate detractor of crimes
â??Cos devils and gods, they are you and I
Devils and gods, they are you and I
Devils and gods, safe and inside.

Digital Ghost

Digital Ghost


It started as a joke
Just one of my lucks to see
If somehow I could reach you
So I swam onto your shores
Through an open window
Only to find you all alone
Curled up with machines
Now it seems youâ??re slipping
Out to the land of the ravine

Just take a closer look
Take a closer look
At what it is thatâ??s really haunting you
I hear to trust you
Not this digital ghost

Look I fear thereâ??s only so much time
Cause the you I knew is fading away
Hands
Lay them on my keys
Let me play you again
I am not immune to you
And find me there and yet
I wonâ??t go even if he
Your heart only beats once
And switch you on my friend
Pull you from that wreckage
But only you can fight against these

Take a closer look
Just take a closer look
At what it is thatâ??s really haunting you
I hear to trust you
Not this digital ghost

Well I fear thereâ??s only so much time
Cause the you I knew is fading away
Fading
Fading
Fading away.

Do It Again

Do It Again


In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire 'till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street
Let's go

Well you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two-timer
And you're sure you're at the end
Then you love a little wild one
But she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow

You go back, Jack
You go back
Do it again
Wheel's turnin' round and round
You go back, Jack
Do it again

Now your swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards will make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

You go back, Jack
Do it again
Wheel turning round and round
You go back, Jack
Do it again
Back you go
Come on to me
Wheel turning round
Beautifully
Wheel turning round

Dogs

Dogs


one dog buries a bone
and then the other dog digs it up
and finds a prize in store
one dog dies and the other dogs
go dig him up a tomb with his name inscribed

and there on his tombstone carved so bold
the words are clear and strong
it says:

this one is for the eyes
for the eyes of the other dogs who come
it's for the eyes of the other dogs to come

one man digs a hole while another man shovels dirt
inside another hole
one man says hello while another one is leaving
on a long journey to a place he'll return

and there on his tombstone carved so bold
the words are clear and strong
it says:

this one is for the eyes
for the eyes of the other dogs who come
it's for the eyes of the other dogs to come

every entrance has an exit
and every doorknob has a twist
i wonder what my face looked like
before it looked like this?

and there on his tombstone carved so bold
the words are clear and strong
it says:

this one is for the eyes
for the eyes of the other dogs who come
it's for the eyes of the other dogs to come

Don't Look Back In Anger

Don't Look Back In Anger


Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know, you might find a better place to play?
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Coz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger", I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band who'll throw it all away

Gonna start the revolution from my bed
'Coz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'coz summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger", I heard you say

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger", I heard you say

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger"
I heard you say, at least not today

Don't Make Me Come To Vegas

Don't Make Me Come To Vegas


Don't make me come to Vegas
Don't make me pull you out of his bed
I am vigilant that it will not be
You on the menu he's serving up for his friends
Don't make me come to Vegas
Don't make me pull him out of your head
Athena will attest
That it could be done
And it has been done
And I think that I am up to it
And the jacaranda tree
Is telling me of the trouble you're in
Just by the way
She bends remember dancing and wondering
As you were swaying
What kind of woman you'd be
"What will be will be" over my dead body
Slip through your hand again and again
Slip through your hand again and again
My old flame was a jester and a joker
And as healer of men, they called him the prince
Prince of black jacks and of women
And of anything that's slipped into his hands
"And the ranches and the mustangs"
And the way you said "you can have all this, except for me--
You see lady luck is my mistress
And you'll have to play second to her wish"
And the jacaranda tree
Is telling me it's not over yet,
Just by the way
She bends "if you come breezin' through"
You said "I'll know that it's you by the taste on my lips,
Bet on the deserts kiss"
I could slip through your net
"Over my dead body" slip through your hand
Don't make me come to vegas
Hmmm
