God I love to turn my little blue world upsidedown
God I love to turn my little blue world upsidedown

I say baby what have you been smokin

got a kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
it's the only thing we can't seem to turn
upside down
well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm O.K. when everything is not O.K.

little Blue world upsidedown

little blue world baby upsidedown
inside my head a voice
chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter and it says girl you're all the same

Thoughts
Thoughts right now
I picked up a magazine

I'm never never a bird or a flower in the tree
or the pain of the respect thereof yes indeed
Thoughts right now

The Pool
one with her hands
open
"Don't Be afraid" she said
"No one will know it -
just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back
Take To The Sky
This house is like Russia
with eyes cold and grey
you got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
to hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
buried deep in my heart yeah
but my priest says
you ain't savin no souls
my father says
you ain't makin any money
my doctor says
you just took it to the limit
and here I stand
with this sword in my hand
you can say it one more Time
What you Don't Like
Let me hear it 1 more time then
have a seat while I
take to the sky
My heart is Like the Ocean
it gets in the way so
Close to touching freedom
then I hear the guards call my Name
if you don't like me just a little
Why Do you hang around
there she goes again
wearing those purple panties
there she goes again
wearing her heart
there she goes again Why do you
take it
Sweet Dreams
"Lies everywhere"
said the father to the son
you're peppermint breath
gonna choke him to death daddy
watch your little black sheep run
he's got knives in his back
everytime he opens up
you say "he gotta be strong if
he wants to Be a man" mister
I don't know how you can have
Sweet Dreams
Land land of liberty we're run
by a constipated man
when you live in the past
you refuse to see
when your daughter comes home
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points of light
gonna shine them on the face of your friends
they've got the earth in a sling
the world on her knees
they've even got your zipper
between their teeth
Sweet Dreams
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
go on and dream
your house is on fire
Well well summer wind
been catching up with me
"elephant mind missy you don't have
you're forgettin to fly darlin
when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy susan
takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes
runnin through my body
funny how they all have my face
Sweet Dreams
Sugar
Don't say morning's come
don't say it's up to me
if I could take twenty five minutes
out of the record books
Sugar
he brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
and hammers, he used one on me
cold wars with little boys
get in with the bubble gum trade
and Sugar
bring me sugar
I know the robins bring
bring me many things but
Sugar
He brings me sugar
as far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know, and I know
I don't know me very well
and I know, and you know
if they found me out
Sugar
he brings me sugar
I know the robins bring
they bring me many things but
Sugar
oh, Sugar
[this verse is added when sung live:]
sweet boy when they find you out
tell me what you think they'll do
when they find you out
when they find out you're just sugar
Flying Dutchman
Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
they say your brain is a comic book tattoo
and you'll never be anything
what will you do with your life
oh, that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman
Straight suits, they don't understand
she tried, that one with the alligator boots
but the other side drew her in
heart falling fast when she left
even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman
'cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can't see me
they can't be what they can't believe
they can't see what you see
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
tie him up and so he won't say a word
they keep the boys spinning in their own little world
so afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
are you still out there?
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great big fall, and
all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty Dumpty and Betty Louise, well
stole a Sony and some Camembert cheese
she said Humpty baby, oh, take me
ooh yeah, take me to the river
'cause I like the way it runs, yeah
take me to the river,
you know I like the way it runs, yeah
He said Ev'rything's going my way
he said Maybe it's my la-lucky day
and he said Anything you want I can give
she said I want to take your picture, mmm
just for me
he said
Anything
she said
Up there, baby,
Get on the wall, babe
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
looked at her as he was falling, and
all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
hey, Betty Louise
hey, Betty Louise
she said I like custard in the summer, honey
oh yeah, what it takes to be Queen
hey, what it takes to be Queen
what it takes to be...
Here. In My Head
In my head I found you there
and running around and following me
boy you don't, oh, dare now
but i find that i have now
more than i ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said, and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you
There you all here in my head
and running around and calling me
come back,
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again
and you know that apple green ice cream
can melt in your hands I can't, so
I, I held your hand at the fair
and even forgot what time it was
and even Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said, and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you
and me here alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers as the bells toll
you see the bow and the belt
and the girl from the south
all fav'rites of mine, you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles
that makes it all clear makes it all...
Hey do you know?
Hey
Do you know
What this is doing to me?
Oh, here
Here
Here
Here in my head
Mary
Ev'rybody wants something from you
ev'rybody want a piece of Mary
lush valley all dressed in green
just ripe for the picking
God I want to get you out of here
you can ride in a pink Mustang
when i think of what we've done to you
Mary, can you hear me?
Growing up isn't always fun
they tore your dress and stole your ribbons
they see you cry, they lick their lips
but Butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
we're just waking up
and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind
even the wind cries your name
Ev'rybody wants you sweetheart
ev'rybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
they got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry
can't you hear the dolphins crying?
what do we do when our babies scream?
fill their mouths with some acid rain
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
we're just waking up
and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind
even the wind cries your name
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
we're just waking up
and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind
even the wind cries your name
cries your name
cries your name
cries your name
Ode To The Banana King (Part 1)
Turning back ten thousand years
it's all a blur where have the taxis gone
monster man a willing friend
Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls
four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows
gonna get caught, gonna get caught
gonna get caught in her rug babe
This is not a conclusion
no revolution
just a little confusion
on where your head has been
Boats made out of paper float
dreams made up for the banana king, Darling
crumbs you have lapped freely of
devious we all have been
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion
no revolution
just a little confusion
on where your head has been
Song For Eric
I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes
see you over hill and dale
riding on the wind I see
you know me, you know me like the nightingale
"Oh fair maiden I see you standing there"
will you hold me for just a fair time
the tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
fair boy your eyes haunt me
Sister Janet
Master Shamen I have come
with my dolly from the shadow side
with a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
All the angels all the wizards black and white
are lighting candles in our hands
can you feel them touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Maryanne
Sister Janet you have come
from the woman clothed with the sun
your veil is quietly becoming none
call the Wanderer he has gone
and all those up there are making it look so easy
with your perfect wings
a wing can cover all sorts of things
Home On The Range
[With Cherokee Addition]
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day
Well Jackson made deals
a thief down to his heels
had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide Cherokee bride
her brave was shot yesterday
Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day
Mmm, We know it's not Caroline
your home is your home
the range may be fine
for some but not in my eyes
Home on the range
the Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride but in her eyes
we know it's not Caroline
yeah, America
hey, America
oh, who discovered your ass?
The white man came
"This land is MY Land
this is your land" they sang
Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Daisy Dead Petals
Daisy dead petals, that is her name
she's in the phone booth phase so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
she can turn it out with a heal on
she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say
knowing they're around the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
Daisy dead petals, that is her name
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
she said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
Dancing on a dime
hearing mother cry
maybe she's a-round the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
on my back with
on my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down, falling down
all over the river
falling down, falling down, falling down
wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
falling down, falling down, falling down
And since we're down might as well stay
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
she's a new friend not a skeleton
to ride into town knowing what they'll say
knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid but
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
said these dead petals, honey, brought me here
Honey
A little dust never stopped me none
he liked my shoes I kept them on
sometimes I can hold my tongue
sometimes not when you just
skip-to-loo my darlin
and you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just to used to my honey now
you're just to used to my honey
And I think I could leave your world
if she was the better girl
so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
cause I'm not sure
what you're doin or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey
Don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky

Turn back one last time

but cowboys know cowgirls ride
on the Indian side
And you know what you're doing
so don't even
Black Swan

Frog On My Toe
Poppa I know

and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still
slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
you paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
in funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl
you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all
you're my poppy's baby

Purple People (Christmas in Space)
well hey do you do judo when they surround you
a little mental yoga will they disappear
it's grim but never dubious as motives go

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me
i watch me be this other thing and never know
if i'm marooned or where the purple people go
and lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt
thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these girls are here for her, for you, for me
and don't you know the nurses make you clear
just when they've escaped you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast every hour it could save the world
so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me
for her, for her

Cooling
Maybe I didn't like to hear
but I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
so then i thought I'd make some plans
but fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
and Peggy got a message for me from Jesus
and I've heard every word that you have said
and I know I have been driven like the snow
but this is cooling faster than I can
this is cooling faster than I
but do I hate what she is
or do I want to be her
and don't we love something fresh
anything new, a virgin
woman you've got too many brambles
hanging onto these bushes
woman you've got too many brambles
but I always liked a good storm
and always good for a storm
so then love walked up to like
and said I know that you don't like me much
let's go for a ride
this ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
and is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses
these, yes, these kisses
and Peggy got a message for me from Jesus
and I've heard every word that you have said
and I know I have been driven like the snow
but this is cooling faster than I can
hey faster than i can
hey this is cooling
this is cooling

oh Angie, I still love you baby
everywhere I look I see your eyes
there's not another woman
that ever comes close to you
dry those tears from your eyes
here...
Angie, Angie
you can't say we never tried
Angie, Angie
I still love you
but ain't it time we said goodbye
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Nirvana
Load up on guns
bring your friends
it's fun to lose and to pretend
she's overbored and self-assured
oh no, I know a dirty word
hello, hello, hello, hello
hello hello
I'm worst at what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed
our little group has always been
and always will be until the end
hello, hello, hello, hello
hello hello
with the lights out it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
yes
hello
hello, hello
with the lights out it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
yes, a mulatto
an albino
a mosquitto
my libido

Thank You
Led Zeppelin
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
mountains crumble to the sea
there would still be you and me
kind woman, i give you my all
kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain
whipser all the pain
tears of loves lost and the days gone by
if our love is strong
then there is no wrong
together we shall go until we die
inspiration is what you are to me
inspiration, love to see
if the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
mountains crumble to sea
there would still be
you
you, babe
and me
A Case Of You
Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the northern star."
and I said, "Constantly in the darkness
where's that at?
if you want me I'll be in the bar."
on the back of a cartoon coaster
in the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
In my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
and I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
surely you touched mine
'cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time.
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
she had a mouth like yours
she knew your devils and your deeds
and she said, "Go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed"
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
If 6 Was 9
Jimi Hendrix
If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind
I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be
It ain't me
Got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you
If a 6 turned out to be 9
I don't know how
I don't mind
If the hippies cut off their hair
I don't care
I don't care
I've got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you
If the sun refused to shine...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...?
Strange Fruit
Billie Holiday
(written by Lewis Allen)
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Losing My Religion
R.E.M.
me, me...
me in the corner
me in the spotlight
losing my religion
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
I think I saw you try
consider this
consider the lengths that I would go to
the slip that brought me to my knees
and I don't know if I can do it
oh no I said too much
I set it up
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
life is bigger
bigger than you and you are not me
the lengths that I would go to
hey, I said too much
I set it up
I think I saw you try
it's me, me...
me in the corner
losing my religion
trying to keep an eye on you
and I don't know if I can do it
oh no, I said too much
I set it up
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
losing my...
it's me
it's me...
can't you see

London Girls
Chas Hodges & Dave Peacock
Some people sing about Deutsch(e) girls
and girls from California
they might be alright for a night alright
but I don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east and I've been out west
and I've been the world around
but I ain't seen no one anywhere near
a girl from London town
Give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
Marry a girl from London town
you know that you can trust her
she'll darn your socks
and wash you everytime your trousers won't bust 'em yes
they're all good cooks
and they've got good looks
and they won't lead you down
said I gotta find a London Girl
if I ever get to have a chance
Oh give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
London Girls are the best in the world
there ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from La-London town
you're better off doin' without it
they don't [create] when you come home late
and you're crawlin' up the passage floor
they won't mock about you
when you're going out with
the geezer from the house next door
give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a London Girl babe
every little day
your legs turn to jelly
and I got a little smelly
but I know it's just what I want
cause I need a London Girl, oh, every time
they've always got a pound
to buy their round
when it's their turn at the bar
That's What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song)
Chas Hodges & Dave Peacock
Cheese and onion sandwiches and Derby chinaware
fiddles and jigs and boogie my dog, Auntie Vee having a swear
taking my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glen Hoddle scoring a goal
catching a pike and riding my bike, old wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
yes, that's what I like boy
that's what I like
pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William books and comical looks, pianos trams and trains
coals and cockles and thunder storms, a place on the wallace and owl
grandfather clocks and coke and brandy
fountain pens and Beano and Dandy
that's what I like
I said, that's what I like
little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and Barnet Faire
the sound of the banjo barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
burning toast a beer from the wood and old terry thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chet and Cannon & Ball, a banjo picking Bill Keith
and old bungalows wood burning stoves
and Shirley MacLaine and Petticoat Lane
that's what I like,
said that's what I like
yes, boy
yes that's just a...
bubble and squeak and jumble sales, Little Richard and Jerry Lee
bonfire night and Southend nights, paddle in the sea
polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
violins and old coach inns, and colored elastic bands
tea in the morning and winter beginning
fishing rods and frogs and spurs and winning years
that's what I like
hey, that's what I like
decorations off in the bases, going down hopping in Kent
a new pair of braces little kids faces sleeping under the tin
and wagons chickens and picking blackberries and swallows and sledges
and Devon and jerries and haddock and trotters horses and knickers
and cider and celery and banjoes and kippers
yeah, that's I like boy
that's what I like
Famous Blue Raincoat
Leonard Cohen
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of a record
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear?
the last time I saw you, you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
you'd been to the station to meet every train
you came home alone without Lili Marlene.
and you treated my woman to flake of your life
and when she came back she was nobody's wife
well, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well, I see Jane's awake
she sends her regards.
and what can I tell you my brother, my killer
what can I possiby say
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
if you ever come by here for Jane or for me
well, your enemy is sleeping and your woman is free
yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
and Jane came by with a lock of you hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
sincerely, L. Cohen
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Martin/Blane
have yourself a merry little Christmas
let your heart be light
from now on our troubles will be out of sight
have yourself a merry little Christmas
make the yuletide gay
from now on our troubles will be miles away
here we are as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more
through the years we all will be together
if the fates allow
hang a shining star upon the highest bough
and have yourself a merry little Christmas
now
Do It Again
Steely Dan
In the morning you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
and you fire 'till he is done in but they catch you at the border
and the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
but the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street
let's go
and you go
When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
in a room with your two timer and you're sure you're at the end
then you love a little wild one but she brings you only sorrow
all the time you know she's smiling, you'll be on your knees tomorrow
you go back, Jack
you go back
do it again
wheel's turnin' round and round
you go back Jack
do it again
now your swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gambling man
then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
in the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table
you go back, Jack
do it again
wheel turning round and round
back you go
come on to me
wheel turning round
wheel turning round
beautifully
wheel turning round
Back home
