I was slipping through the cracks
Of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walkin in two ton shoes
Now somebody's talking bout a
Third world war
And the police said this was normal control
Candle burning yesterday......
Somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I was crying from my eye teeth and
Bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just
To stamp out the coals
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within.....
I'm luck's last match struck
In the pouring down wind......

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.
First they put away the dealers,
keep our kids safe and off the street.
Then they put away the prostitutes,
keep married men cloistered at home.
Then they shooed away the bums,
then they beat and bashed the queers,
turned away asylum-seekers,
fed us suspicions and fears.
We didn't raise our voice,
we didn't make a fuss.
It's funny there was no one left to notice
when they came for us.
I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn - I said 'never'
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority

you know you can't complain you
took your last chance once again, i
landed, stranded
hardly even knew your name
you take me walking

Love me, forget about tomorrow now and love me
there's time enough to borrow from another day
so just for now
let's touch and do the things that drive my cares away...
hold me
forget the world outside tonight and hold me
and by the flickering candle light
our love will glow and then we'll share
the words and feelings no one else will ever know...
We should never end
hand in hand we'll walk the night forever
but, if it can't be so
there's one more thing I need before I go...
Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away
Is it cloak ’n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away
There’s something out there
I can’t resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There’s something out there
I can’t resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I’ve ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake the further I’m away
I did what I had to do; and if there was a reason...There wasn't no reason. And if there's something you'd like to do, well let me just continue to blame you.

Baby, I never gave my heart to anyone, oh no
Used to think that love was a game
I used to make it just for fun
When we spent the night together
Didn’t mean it meant that much
Now I just can’t live without your touch
I didn’t wanna to need you, no
I didn’t wanna want you like I do
I didn’t mean to fall
Didn’t wanna care at all
I didn’t wanna need you
Like I need you now
I can’t get no sleep
’coz I keep thinking of you all through the
Night, oh yeah
My eyes can’t wait to see you again
My arms can’t wait to hold you tight oh yeah
And when you’re laying here beside me
There is nothing else I need
Never thought that this could ever be
I didn’t wanna to need you, oh no
I didn’t wanna want you like I do
I didn’t mean to fall
Didn’t wanna care at all
I didn’t wanna need you
Like I need you now
I’ve always been free
To leave when I wanna leave
But it’s not up to me anymore
I didn’t wanna need you ...
I didn’t wanna to need you, no
I didn’t wanna want you like I do
I didn’t mean to fall
Didn’t wanna care at all
I didn’t wanna need you
But I need you now
I work five days a week girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
And meet my girl down on the block
And Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got Friday on my mind
When that whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When I'm out in the street
When I'm out in the street
When I'm out in the street, girl
Well, I never feel alone
When I'm out in the street, girl
In the crowd I feel at home
The black and whites they cruise by
And they watch us from the corner of their eye

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub
I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the way
Its getting late
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papas translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades
Fades away
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
sit on a train, reading a book.
same damn planet every time i look.
try to relax and slow my heartbeat
only works when i'm dead asleep.
been thinking and drinking all over the town
must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down
all i am is
a body floating down-wind
"what's wrong?"
"nothing."
"are you sure nothing's wrong?"
"yeah.."
"but you're sad about something."
"yeah...."
"so tell me what."
"i don't know.
i can't tell you.
i can't tell you...."
all i am is
a body floating down-wind
as the express train passes the local
it moves by just like a paper boat.
although it weighs a million pounds
i swear it almost seems to float.
and as we pass by each other
our heads all full of bother.
we can't look, we can't stop.
we can't think, we can't stop.
because we're stuck in our own paths.
and it's the way it always lasts.
but i need
something more
from you.......
all i am is,
a body floating down wind...

The other was just railroad gin

An’ it strangled up my mind
An’ now people just get uglier

All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman
Monkey woman too, babe!
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!

this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Her aching limbs and downcast face, algow with perspiration
Stif as wire, her lungs on fire, with just the briefest pause
the flooding through her memory, the echoes of old applause
she limps across the floor, and closes her bedroom door....
The writer stares with glassy eyes, defies the empty page
his beard is white, his face is lined and streaked with tears of rage...
thirty years ago, how the words would flow
with passion and precision, but now his mind is dark and dulled
by sicknes and indecision.....
and he stares out the kitchen door, where the sun will rise no more....
Some are born to move the world, to live their fantasies...
but most of us just dream about, the things we'd like to be....
sadder still to watch it die, than never to have known it
for you, the blind who once could see
the bell tolls for thee....
or lose the race to rats
get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
to relax their restless flight
somewhere out of a memory of
lighted streets and quiet nights....
but I really don't know if you can do that
I know you want to know what's right...
but I know it's so hard for you to do that
and time's running out as often it does
and often dectates that you can't do that
But fate can't break this feeling inside
that's burning up through my veins.....
I really want you, I really want you, I really want you.... Now
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through
and you're listening to the sound...
Of my breaking heart.....
than to wear a crown of thorns

NICE.
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.
That song always really moves me. Much more than I would like to admit

Rules the nation
With version
Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub
I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the way
Its getting late
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papas translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades
Fades away
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
same damn planet every time i look.
try to relax and slow my heartbeat
only works when i'm dead asleep.
been thinking and drinking all over the town
must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down
all i am is
a body floating down-wind
"what's wrong?"
"nothing."
"are you sure nothing's wrong?"
"yeah.."
"but you're sad about something."
"yeah...."
"so tell me what."
"i don't know.
i can't tell you.
i can't tell you...."
all i am is
a body floating down-wind
as the express train passes the local
it moves by just like a paper boat.
although it weighs a million pounds
i swear it almost seems to float.
and as we pass by each other
our heads all full of bother.
we can't look, we can't stop.
we can't think, we can't stop.
because we're stuck in our own paths.
and it's the way it always lasts.
but i need
something more
from you.......
all i am is,
a body floating down wind...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Then he said, “Jump right in”
The one was Texas medicine
The other was just railroad gin
An’ like a fool I mixed them
An’ it strangled up my mind
An’ now people just get uglier
And I have no sense of time
Send my credentials to the house of detention
Because I miss your smile
