I'd love to see you

It’s the end of a beautiful day
And the summer sun has chased every dark cloud away
Hey hey
I’d love to see you
At the start of a long lonely night
slowly the shadows are making the end of the light
Tonight
I’d love to see you

On a Plane

I’ve been living on easy far too long
And the ravens sent to feed me have all gone
And every time I see the sunset
I can hear you call my name
So I’ve made up my mind
I think that it’s time
I’ve got to get myself a seat on a plane
I was saying to life give me a break
Crying so hard like a child in the dark
Keeping everyone awake
Now I’m through with all that moping
All that walking in the rain
Will be history
When it’s just you and me
I’ve got to get myself a seat on a plane
ON A PLANE
I’m flying out across the blue
ON A PLANE
I’m coming home, back home to you
I’ve been searching -in red green and blue
But you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see
When it aint working for you
Or that only your sweet loving
Can make it work again
I’m scared of the drop
But ready or not
I’m gonna get myself A seat on a plane
Yeh I’m gonna get myself A seat on a plane
ON A PLANE
I’m flying out across the blue
ON A PLANE
I’m coming home, back home to you

Black Dog Day
03:33
|
|
||
|
I can hear the telephones are ringing
and somebody is banging on my door
but I can’t face the message that they’re bringing
can’t take it any more
I just got to hide away
Like a squirrel in a dark place
it’s my Black Dog Day
I don’t think that I can take it,
can’t find the treasure in my clay
don’t know if I’m going to make it –
through this Black Dog Day
The life insurance man he knows my number
He’s pestering me every single day
he’s watching every ladder I walk under
but what’s he going to say
When he finds out it’s for real
There’s a monkey in the engine
And a penguin at the wheel
And they talk to one another
like they’re in a Shakespeare play
like it’s Hamlet and his mother
in ‘A Black Dog Day’
Now it’s a sorry situation –
but only yesterday
I had it all together
and let it all slip away
Now I don’t think that I can shake it,
please let me just fade away
I don’t want to have to fake it,
through this Black Dog Day

Lord Rockford Moses
being of sound mind
Left everything to Mistress Caroline
Stepped in his time machine
and disappeared from view
leaving the argument for me and you
And he wished he could be here
But he’s done the best he can
Yes he wished he could be here
and he hopes you’ll understand
that I, Rockford Moses
being of sound mind
Leave everything to Mistress Caroline
The five thousand acres
And all the precious works of art
wine in the cellar and the tigers in the park
And he says it’s okay
You can give it all away
I don’t care what you do
But just be careful what you say about my…
Sweet love child Mistress Caroline
She was my friend
she love me when I was alone without a dime
Sweet love child Mistress Caroline
She scratched my back she lit my fag,
she chilled my wine, she done me fine
Love her til the end of time
Love her til the end of time

Well Alright

Well all right, so I'm being foolish
Well all right let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
In the night when lights are low
Well all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well all right - well all right
Our lifetime of love will be all right
Well, all right, so I'm going steady
It's all right when people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way
Well all right, well all right
We will live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
Our lifetime of love will be all right

The Queen, the Prince and the Dish
Came together on a day like this
crossing over boundaries
Suddenly the hand of fate
Has thrown them together on a date
Welded into time and space
Far be it for me to forget the good times
Far be it for me to stand in the rain
The Queen turned to the Prince and said I know you
but who’s that snazzy dresser over there?
He said ma’am that’s the dish and he’s famous
for disappearing in thin air, disappearing in thin air
The Queen, the Prince and the Dish
came together in a way like this
crashing in to memories
Now for hopings sake
I’m hoping that the news is fake
but hearts that hope are hearts that ache
Far be it for me to forget the good times
Far be it for me to stand in the rain
Wild horses couldn’t keep him at the Maypole
and places to the west and to the east
mothers, sons and daughters searched for him
from the greatest to the least, the greatest to the least
The Queen, the Prince and the Dish
Came together on a day like this
shattering my certainties

Knower

Once upon a time the earth was flat
you loved me and that was that
but now is now and now I see
A subtle change in scenery, when you look at me
And I know it in my knower, something isn’t right
I feel it in my feeler, I puff it in my pipe
When I run the movie backwards to the bit that makes me blue
Where you boil the hero in your verbal stew
Well it don’t taste good and it aint a pretty view
and I know it like I know it in my knower
Yeh I know it like I know it in my knower
Here inside these four walls
I sing my song to no applause
Searching for the smile upon your face
as my ship sinks without a trace, and nobody escapes!
There’s a pixie in my bedroom and I can’t put out the light
I just know its going to get me at the bottom of the night
so I’m staring at the ceiling, practicing my lines
I used to be Romeo but now I’m Frankenstein
I know it in my knower, I knew it all the time
Don’t I know it like I know it in my knower
Yeh I know it like I know it in my knower
it don’t matter what you say, I know it in my knower
You can cut it any way, I know it in my knower
Yeh I know it in my knower, when all is said and done
No I aint going to fight and I aint going to run
so I pay the man my penny, and I make me my wish
and the ship sails on to the edge of the abyss
and I know it in my knower on a night like this
Yes I know it like I know it in my knower
Don’t I know it like I know it in my knower

Gibraltar Farm

Gibraltar Farm, Violette came
She walked in its long green grass
and left on an aeroplane
With all that she had, One summer’s night
riding the clouds of England and France
in the fading light
And every night I heard her calling out across the wires
(Louise…)
and I’m out on that long and lonely road I chose
and nobody in England knows but you, you, you
Oh let me go where the tears don’t flow
Oh let me stay where there is no war today
Gibraltar Farm, Violette knew
Every turn and glance of the dangerous dance
that she had to do
With all that she had, she did it so well
with a fire in her heart
she played out the part til the curtain fell
And every night I heard her calling out across the wires
(Louise…)
I’m out on a long and lonely road tonight
And nobody can see my light but you, you, you
Oh let me go where the tears don’t flow
Oh let me stay where there is no war today

Are you Ready?

Are you ready to climb up the ladder
Are you ready to see
What the view is like from up on the balcony?
Are you ready to step up to the wire
Spead your feathers and fly
Are you ready to climb to the top of the sky?
Nothing in the old, the oldie fashioned kind of way
Nothing too big-time this isn’t Broadway
Everybody got a new way of talking
Everybody got a word
Are you ready to run with the message you heard
Everybody got a piece of the puzzle
Just the one little jot
Are you ready to fly with the baggage you got
Nothing in the olde-oldie fashioned kind of way
Nothing too big-time this isn’t Broadway
Give me a break, I’ve got a deadline to make
We’ve gotta dance the night away
Are you ready to climb up the ladder
see the view from the top
don’t bother going up if you’re scared of the drop
Nothing in the old, the oldie fashioned kind of way
Nothing too big-time this isn’t Broadway

Big Brown Sky
03:47

I was down in the boondocks
on the Edinburgh Road
banging on the door to the Mother Lode
when Ceilidh Al, as bold as brass
was coming down the mountain
on his Whisky Poet glass
And I‘m under the Big Brown Sky
watching the changes fly
and hearing them call out my name
as the wind and the rain go by
They talk up a future in poetic rhyme
standing on the parapet of Auld Lang Syne
feelings run high and faces are red
everybody’s shouting out but not a word is said
And I‘m under the Big Brown Sky
watching the changes fly
and hearing them call out my name
as the wind and the rain go by
So take a cup of kindness, hang it on the wall
don’t let nobody touch it no, no one at all
There’s only so much water can go under the bridge
before I get a molecule to pass down to my kid
under the Big Brown Sky
watching the changes fly
and hearing them call out my name
as the wind and the rain go by
Ceilidh light, don’t leave me lone tonight
Ceilidh light, come keep me warm tonight
Ceilidh light, I need you by my side
