    Pity, take pity on me
    Because I'm not half the man that I should be
    I'm always turning to run
    From the people I should not be afraid of
    And darling, you should know
    That I have fantasies about being alone
    It's like love is a lesson
    That I can't learn
    So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn

    I know you can't hold out forever
    Waiting on a diamond and a tether
    From a boy who won't swim
    But who will dip his toe in
    Just to keep you here with him

    I've got this habit I abhor
    When we go out, I'm always watching the door
    As if there's someone I'm gonna see
    Who could out-do the things that you do to me

    I know you can't hold out forever
    Waiting on a diamond and a tether
    From a boy who won't fly
    But who will take to the skies
    If he thinks you're about to say goodbye

    Pity, take pity on me
    Because I'm not half the man that I should be
    And I don't blame you, you've had enough
    With all these empty promises and countless bluffs

    I know you can't hold out forever
    Waiting on a diamond and a tether
    From a boy who won't jump
    When he falls in love
    He just stands with his toes on the edge
    And he waits for it to disappear again
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

    Down to who knows who just to socialize
    I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
    You got your ways to make a man
    Honey, you got to understand
    I'm your man, child, Lord Of The Thighs

    Well, well, Lordie my God
    What do we got here
    She's flashin' 'cross the floor
    Make it perfectly clear
    You're the bait and you're the hook
    Someone bound to take a look
    I'm your man, child, Lord Of The Thighs

    You must have come here to find me
    You've got the look in your eyes
    Although you really don't mind it
    I am the Lord Of Your Thighs

    You must have come here to find me
    You've got the look in your eyes
    Although you really don't mind it
    I am the Lord Of Your Thighs

    Wish you were here...

    "Force Of Nature"

    Understand She's a Force of Nature
    Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
    Exercising her will to lose control
    she lets go

    Common Man he don't stand a chance no
    one to love who allowed his in the hole
    no way to save someone who wont take the role
    and just let's go

    One Man Stands the edge of the ocean
    a beacon on dry land
    eyes above the horizon
    in the dark before the dawn

    hurricane has the trade winds blowing
    gale force shaking windows in the storm
    shipwreck from a love that he calls home
    one light on

    Somewhere there's a siren singing
    solmenly he hears
    all the strengths you might think would
    disappear resolving

    one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
    Eyes above the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    Makes me ache
    Makes me shake
    Is it so wrong to think that
    Love can keep us safe?

    Last I saw he was out there waiting
    a silhouette in the black light full moon
    in the sand there he stands upon the shore
    Forevermore

    somewhere there's a siren singing
    solemnly he hears
    all the strength
    that you might think would disappear, resolving

    one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
    eyes are closed, you cannot know
    but his heart don't seem to know...
    grow...
    home....


    Wish you were here...

    Hey... oooh...
    Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
    Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
    All five horizons revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

    Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
    Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
    And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything.
    Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
    I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can drop away

    And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything?
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    All the love gone bad turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...
    Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

    Aah... uuh..

    Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]



    Wish you were here...

    do you see the way that tree bends?
    does it inspire?
    leaning out to catch the sun's rays
    a lesson to be applied
    are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense
    have you ideas on how this life ends?
    checked your hands and studied the lines
    have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
    seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    to find an approach and a way to live
    are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    Hold on to the thread
    The currents will shift
    Glide me towards...
    You know something's left
    And we're all allowed
    To dream of the next
    Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...

    You don't have to stray
    Tho oceans away
    Waves roll in my thoughts
    Hold tight the ring...
    The sea will rise...
    Please stand by the shore...
    Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
    I will be there once more...

    Wish you were here...

    See the world in green and blue
    See China right in front of you
    See the canyons broken by clouds
    See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
    See the Bedouin fires at night
    See the oil fields at first light and
    See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
    After the flood all the colors came out

    Day, day

    It was a beautiful day
    Day
    Don't let it get away
    Day
    Beautiful day
    Day, day

    Touch me
    Day
    Take me to that other place
    Day
    Reach me
    Day
    I know I'm not a hopeless case
    Day

    What you don't have you don't need it now
    What you don't know you can feel somehow
    What you don't have you don't need it now
    Don't need it now
    It was a beautiful day
    Day

    It's warm in the sun, I reach to the sun

    thrown away, returned, became your sunflower
    only growin up to your clouding eyes
    some kind of welcome in you is like a rush right off my face
    i would not climb too far from here

    you can feel so sure
    eventually no more
    you can't feel much at all
    a memory a spaceship left behind

    oh, what a great day for your warm smile
    it's a shameful tragic lie
    some kind of happiness is all we need to make ourselves worthwhile
    what a great day for your life
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    We've all seen enough, now it's time to decide
    The meekness of love or the power of pride
    It doesn't matter if you're good or smart
    God damn it, things fall apart

    Let's go for a walk. yeah, let's go for a drive
    Don't know how to say, thanks for being alive
    Let's go for a lifetime. let's go for a fling
    Don't know how to say anything

    built to spill- things fall apart

    some words when spoken...can't be taken back...

    and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...

    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry no more

    Once I rose above the noise and confusion
    Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
    I was soaring ever higher
    But I flew too high

    Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
    Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
    I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
    I can hear them say

    Masquerading as a man with a reason
    My charade is the event of the season
    And if I claim to be a wise man, well
    It surely means that I don't know

    On a stormy sea of moving emotion
    Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
    I set a course for winds of fortune
    But I hear the voices say
    No!
    Carry on, you will always remember
    Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
    The center lights around your vanity
    But surely heaven waits for you

    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)

    Wish you were here...

    Ive used hammers made out of wood.
    I have played games with pieces and rules.
    I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now youre gone.
    I havent figured out why.
    Ive come up with riddles and jokes about war.
    I figured out numbers and what theyre for.
    Ive understood feelings and Ive understood words but how could you be taken away?

    And wherever youve gone and wherever we might go.
    It dont seem fair. today just disappeared.
    Your light reflected now. reflected from afar.
    We were but stones. your light made of stars.

    With heavy breath awakened regrets.
    Back pages and days that could have been spent together but we were miles apart.
    Every inch between us becomes light years now.
    No time to be void or save up on life.
    Oh, you got to spend it all.

    And wherever youve gone and wherever we might go.
    It dont seem fair. you seem to like it here.
    Your light reflected now. reflected from afar.
    We were but stones. your light made of stars.

    And wherever youve gone and wherever we might go.
    It dont seem fair. today just disappeared.

    Her green plastic watering can
    For her fake Chinese rubber plant
    In the fake plastic earth.
    That she bought from a rubber man
    In a town full of rubber plans
    To get rid of itself.
    It wears her out, it wears her out
    It wears her out, it wears her out.

    She lives with a broken man
    A cracked polystyrene man
    Who just crumbles and burns.
    He used to do surgery
    For girls in the eighties
    But gravity always wins.
    And it wears him out, it wears him out.
    It wears him out, it wears . . .

    She looks like the real thing
    She tastes like the real thing
    My fake plastic love.
    But I can't help the feeling
    I could blow through the ceiling
    If I just turn and run.
    And it wears me out, it wears me out.
    It wears me out, it wears me out.

    And if I could be who you wanted
    If I could be who you wanted
    All the time, all the time.
    Oh, oh.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    Where do we go from here?
    The words are coming out all weird
    Where are you now when I need you?
    Alone on an aeroplane
    Fall asleep against the window pane
    My blood will thicken.

    I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
    'cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
    And who are my real friends?
    Have they all got the bends?
    Am I really sinking this low?

    My baby's got the bends - Oh no
    We don't have any real friends - No no no
    Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
    talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
    I wish it was the sixties
    I wish I could be happy
    I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.

    Where do we go from here?
    The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
    And where are you?
    They brought in the C.I.A.
    The tanks, and the whole marines to blow me away
    To blow me sky high.

    My baby's got the bends
    We don't have any real friends
    Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
    talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
    I wish it was the sixties
    I wish I could be happy
    I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.

    I want to live and breathe
    I want to be part of the human race.

    I want to live and breathe
    I want to be part of the human race.

    Where do we go from here?
    The words are coming out all weird
    Where are you now when I need you?
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand

    It is the evening of the day
    I sit and watch the children play
    Smiling faces I can see
    But not for me
    I sit and watch
    As tears go by

    My riches cant buy everything
    I want to hear the children sing
    All I hear is the sound
    Of rain falling on the ground
    I sit and watch
    As tears go by

    It is the evening of the day
    I sit and watch the children play
    Doin things I used to do
    They think are new
    I sit and watch
    As tears go by

    Wish you were here...
