"Pyramid Song"I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubtALPINE VALLEY MUSIC THEATRE 1992

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
What was I thinking when I said good night?I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when I said hello?I'd always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heartDisposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?Loves you
I'm the man who loves youALPINE VALLEY MUSIC THEATRE 1992

Paint a picture visions only grey
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time,
Far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted frightened trees,
Out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea,
Circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate,
Driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

I've been listening to this one a lot recently.
Joseph Arthur, 'Travel As Equals'
In the dark of grave yard chatter
In the light of freedoms call
In the heat of any matter
We travel as equals or not at all
Bloom disgust and class divide
I saw it written on the wall
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all
You can't be in greater comfort
As my pain prevents your fall
The truth will come and tell us brother
We travel as equals or not at all
And when we get to where we're going
Past the divide past the stall
Past the wind that's always blowing
Travel as equals or not at all
In your way
You found a way, free
In your way
You found a way, follow me
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up to your destiny
In your way
You found a way, free
And you might have a greater income
Or you might be dumb and dull
But either way I won't leave you
Travel as equals or not at all
So help me too, in my slumber
If I'm blind in madness hall
If I'm deaf amongst the thunder
Travel as equals or not at all
Lift the way, forget the ransom
Free the chain and kick the ball
Let our love take us higher
Travel as equals or not at all
And down the road and through the sky
And on the tracks, hear the gull
Fly above us, without worry
Travel as equals or not at all
I hope your road takes you homeward
And may you always outrun the law
If I'm with you we will always
Travel as equals or not at all
Yes if I'm with you we will always
Travel as equals or not at all
Yes if I'm with you we will always
Travel as equals or not at all
In your way
You found a way, free
In your way
You found a way, follow me
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up to your destiny
In your way
You found a way, free
In the dark of grave yard chatter
In the light of freedoms call
In the heat of any matter
We travel as equals or not at all
Bloom disgust and class divide
I saw it written on the wall
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all
The only way we can survive
We travel as equals or not at all
In your way
You found a way, free
In your way
You found a way, follow me
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up to your destiny
In your way
You found a way, free
In your way
You found a way, free
In your way
You found a way, free

Astral Weeks
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin' on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in the hall
And pointin' a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin' in the sun darlin'
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin' good care of your boy
Seein' that he's got clean clothes
Puttin' on his little red shoes
I see you know he's got clean clothes
A-puttin' on his little red shoes
A-pointin' a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin' up to heaven
We are goin' to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
In another face

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New OrleansI pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knewFreedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGeeFrom the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through…

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said "honey, we may be through"
But you'll never hear me complain'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low placesWell, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and…Give Peas A Chance…0 -
OneIs it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blameYou say one love, one life (One life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for itDid I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go withoutWell it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each otherOne, one
One, one
One, one
One, oneHave you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one,…

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certainI've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my wayRegrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemptionI planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much more than this
I did it my wayYes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it outI faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my wayI've loved, I've laughed, and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusingTo think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my wayFor what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneelsThe record shows I took the blows
And did it my wayYes, it was my wayAthens 2006. Dusseldorf 2007. Berlin 2009. Venice 2010. Amsterdam 1 2012. Amsterdam 1+2 2014. Buenos Aires 2015.
