Presence

ACHILLES LAST STAND

It was an April mornin' When they told us we should go And as I turned to you, you smiled at me, How could we say no? Whoah the fun to have, To live the dreams we always had. Whoah the songs to sing When we at last return again. You set me off a glancing kiss To those who claim they know, Below the streets the seaman hears, The devil is in hisle. Whoah to sail away To sandy lands an' other days. Whoah to touch the dream That hides inside and never is seen, yeah. Into the sun the south the north, Lies the first of hope. Th' shackles of commitment fell In pieces on the ground. Whoah to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din. Whoah to laugh aloud, With dancin' eyes above the crowds, yeah. To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds, Will guide us from the curving path That churns up into stone. If one bell should ring In celebration for a king, So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah. Oooh. Days went by when you and I Made an eternal summers glow. It's far away an' distant, Our mutual time to grow. Whoah the sweet refrain Soothes the soul an' calms the pain. Oh Albion remain, Sleeping now to rise again. Wandering, wandering One place to rest the search. For the mighty arms of Atlas Hold the heavens from the Earth. For the mighty arms of Atlas Hold the heavens from the Earth. From the Earth, Earth. Earth. I know the way, know the way,    know the way, know the way. Earth. I know the way, know the way,    know the way, know the way. Earth. Earth. Ahh-ah-ah. Ahh-ah-ah. Ahh-ah-ah. Ahh-ah-ah.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah-ah-ah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh-oh-oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh-oh-oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh-oh-oh. When the mighty arms of Atlas Hold the heavens from the Earth. Ohh~           Ahh-ah-ah. ~ohh.           Ahh-ah-ah. Ohh~           Ahh-ah-ah. ~ohh~         Ahh-ah-ah. ~ahh       Ahh-ah-ah. hh       Ahh-ah-ah.   hh. Ahh-ah-ah. Ahh-ah-ah. Ahh-ah-ah. Ahh-ah-ah.

ROYAL ORLEANS

One time love, Take care how you use it, An' try to make it last all night. An' if you take your pick, Be careful how ya choose it, Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite. Feel it bite. A man that I know, Went down to Louisiana. Had himself a bad, bad fire. An' when the sun beats through, John Cameron he sees Sandy. He kissed her whiskers left an' right. Whiskers! Now, now, now a fight subsides Out at a hotel in the Quarter. Our friendship took a bash tonight. Now love gets hot. Look far for a sea with water. Poor old whiskers set that room alight. Whiskers! Down on Bourbon street, You know it's right. You can see my friends, They run around us in the night. Almost everywhere, 'Til the closet's bare. Run for the razor, fun, Doin' up my hair. New Orleans queens Sure know how to schmooze it. Maybe for some that seems alright. When I step out I strut down with my sugar. She better not talk like Barry White. Now, one time love, Take care how you use it, Try to make it last all night. An' if you take your pick, Be careful how ya choose it, Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite-ah.

HOTS ON FOR NOWHERE

I was burned in the heat of the mornin', Though it could'a been the heat of the day. When I learned how my time had been wasted, A tear fell as I turned away. Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder, When I should happen to fall. With time and his bride growin' older, Got friends who will give me fuck all. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la my baby. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la. The corner of Bleeker 'n' nowhere In the land of not quite day. A shiver ran down my backbone, The face in the mirror turned grey. So I looked 'round to a hitch up a reindeer, Searchin' hard, tryin'a brighten the day. I turned 'round to look for the snowman, To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah.   [ Yeah. ] A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la my baby. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la. The moon and the stars call the order It's like the tide stands to ebb an' sway. The sun in my soul's sinkin' lower While the hope in my hands turn to clay. I don't ask that my field's full of clover, I don't moan at opportunity's door And if ya ask my advice, take it slower, Then your story'd be your finest reward. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la my baby. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la.   Now do it. Oh-ohh.             Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-oh~ooh~oh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Lost on the path to attainment. I search in the eyes of the wise. When I bled from the heart of the matter, I started bleedin' without a disguise. Now everything's finally happened, Now an' then you gotta take time to pause, 'Cause if you're down on the ground, Well don't be messin' around, If you land in a boat without oars. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la my baby. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la yeah. A-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Hey babe, I lost my way. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. I really, really did now. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. I don't know where I'm gonna find it. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Hey babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. A-do you wanna know? A-do ya really, really     wanna help me, yeah? Let me tell ya my babe, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Let me tell ya,                Oh-oh-oh-ohh. That it feels so good but it must be right And my babe,   Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Let me tell ya, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. If it feels so good then it must be right And my babe,   Oh-oh-oh-ohh. Let me tell ya, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. If it feels, if it feels, if it feels,     if it feels So good,     Oh-oh-oh-ohh. A-so good, Oh-oh-oh-ohh. So good. Oh! Yes it.

TEA FOR ONE

How can twenty four hours Baby sometimes seem to slip into days yeah? Oh twenty four hours A-baby sometimes seem to slip into days yeah. When a minute seems like a lifetime Oh baby when I feel this way. Sittin' lookin' at the clock, Oh time moves so slow. I've been watchin' for the hands to move Until I just can't look no more. How can twenty four hours Baby sometimes seem to slip into days? A minute seems like a lifetime Baby when I feel this way. To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say "Oh baby a-this one's for we two," Which in the end is you anyway. A-how can twenty four hours Baby sometimes seem to slip into days? A minute seems like a lifetime Oh baby when I feel this way. There was a time that I stood tall In the eyes of other men, But by my own choice I left you woman And now I can't get you back again. A-how can twenty four hours Sometimes seem to slip into days yes, well? Well, well, well, well a minute seems like a lifetime Baby when I feel this wa-ay. A minute seems like a lifetime Oh baby a-when I feel this way, I feel this way.
