If you get lonely on your daddy's farm
Just remember I don't live too far.
And there's a red bridge that arcs the bay, yeah
You'll be at my place in less than a day.
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night.
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride.
Ooh, the last I seen your face
I swore that no one would take your place.
Now since you've been gone I've been feelin' bad, yeah
I'd come out to your place (but)
I'm afraid of your dad. So you...
Ride, ride, ride.
Come on baby, ooh yeah.
Crank it on up!

America America's killin' its youthGhost Rider
Awesome Song!
Red light, green light, don't say "No"
I really want her,
she says "Stop, baby" GO, GO, GO
I really want her
by my side
The whole night through
We do all the things that we wanna do
Well, come on baby, don't leave me sad
'Cause you're good lookin', the best I've had
Makin' love (makin' love), makin' love (makin' love)
Makin' love (makin' love) all night long
|
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, hold on tight
C'mon, hold on tight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,
Theres a bad moon on the rise.

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
In 2080 I'll surely be dead
So don't look ahead, ever look ahead
It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
And the moon shines bright on the water tonight
So we won't drown in the summer sound
Yeah, yeah, we can all grab at the chance to be handsome farmers
Yeah you can have twenty-one sons and be blood when they marry my daughters
And the pain that we left at the station will stay in a jar behind us
We can pickle the pain into blue ribbon winners at county contests
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, or say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs not nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long black tube
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
God's gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10,000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through the eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....

In our sleep, there's more to this nightmare.
Will she beg for your mercy?
Slowly but sure, I'm hoping what comes in the absence of love.
At night, she'll kick and she'll fight, should they fill in his sight?
At night, I'll worry from all, the end of us all.
Please mom, they're coming for me.
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for me.
When the clock reads 21:13.
All work will stop,
And the ground will relieve.
Please mom, they're coming for me.
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for...
When I fall asleep,
Your face is all I see...
Dear momma I love.
I fall asleep,
Your face is all I dream...
Dear momma I love.
Ohhhhhhh...
In your frame you'll be this well.
In the face you miss the most,
You'll see them soon...stop.
I bid you fair warning,
Stay up 'til you...
When the memories occur,
Of a life you haven't lived.
Stay still, you will.
I've got a secret to hide,
And I've got a secret to hide...
In the words,
Of father to son.
Thy Kingdom Come.
Whoa whoa whoa..
Whoa whoa whoa..
Whoa whoa whoa..
Whoa whoa whoa..
Please mom, they're coming for me.
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for...
When I fall asleep,
Your face is all I see...
Dear momma I love.
I fall asleep,
Your face is all I dream...
Dear momma I love.
Whoa whoa whoa.
Whoa whoa whoa.
When I fall asleep.
Whoa whoa whoa.
Whoa whoa whoa.
When I fall asleep...
Those days we lost our dignity,
The eager dare to stand.
The ride home through victory,
On the innocent they tread.
But IRO-Bot will never die.
IRO-Bot will never die.
But IRO-Bot will never die.
But IRO-Bot will never die...
Hope unknown. Sometimes just waking is surreal.
I'll pass right through the nameless ones.
I know that hope's unknown.
Sometimes the water feels so real.
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning.
This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end.
This rage I can not let go.
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls.
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out my flawless soul.
So alone.
Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones.
I fear that I alone fear those who finally ceased to feel,
That they're alone inside this place.
I am the misplaced.
This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end.
This rage I can not let go.
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls.
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out my flawless soul.
Now every face, it looks familiar...
Then every face would melt away until...
Now everyone, do you know, I know your deception?
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out my flawless soul.

Your face is burned inside my brain
I lost my way
Your taste, a stamp flows through my veins
The cost of hate
‘Cause you’ll never understand me
You want me to stay
You’re c-c-c-calling but I can’t hear you
I’m not listening anymore
You’re subject to falling but I can’t save you
I don’t see you anymore
The race of slowing down the pain, I found a way
The pace of speaking so mundane, the sound of gain
But you’ll never make me happy
So I’ve extinguished the flame
You’re c-c-c-calling, but I cant hear you
I’m not listening anymore
You’re subject to falling, but I can’t save you
I don’t see you anymore
And what you want me to say I’ll never say
You’re playing the game that I’ll never play
So what do you want from me?
Now I’ve extinguished the flame
Your c-c-c-calling but I can’t hear you
I’m not listening anymore
You’re subject to falling but I can’t save you
I don’t see you anymore
You’re c-c-c-calling but I can’t hear you, I’m not listening anymore
You’re f-f-f-falling, but I can’t save you
I don’t see you anymore
Now that we're back to the animal law
The payback's a b@%%! I'm paying all
All my life I've been waiting to see
Who's gonna win, crumbs or me
Are you ready ?

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law

They call me bird 'cause of my legs, but my ass don't sang.
Got a house arrest anklet, but it don't blang blang.
Got a homey with a cell, but that s%$+ don't rang,
But at lights out bars clang and souls get stang.
Now what's the hustler soundtrack, where they muscle around blacks?
Make yo' thoughts heavy drop a joint and make the ground crack.
Even renown hack historians have found that,
The people only bound back when they pound back.
So I take out a spray can and paste the pavement,
Deface engravements of the sufferin' nascent.
The fouls are flagrant and death's the fragrance.
I overheard 'em asking vagrants for patience.
So check the liner notes, I steal my finer quotes,
From D-boys tryin' to flow them Gucci's and designer boats,
And party liner jokes and all kinda folks,
Who kinda broke with bar twenty 'cause they feel like a miner spoke.
The trees we got lifted by made our feet dangle,
So when I say burn one, I mean the star spangled.
Let's all get high from the income angle.
Bump this at the party even if it ain't the single.
Here's a slum serenade with razor blades,
And grenades by the nannies and the maids who be polishin' the suede.
You can let the cess grow but let's make the sets grow,
into brigades with the ghetto manifesto.

Me and Jakey went down to the place
Where the cops wanna smash your face
Where my fellow citizens are caught up in the chase
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Jakey grabbed a torch and burned down a buildin'
Seen the proprietor damn near kill 'im
Later had dental work to get the tooth filled in
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Jakey ain't political but I go nuts
Jakey likes to loot but I ain't got the guts
He says fight for what's right, ain't no ifs or buts
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright, alright
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Jakey thinks militant girls are hot
If they're pro-choice, they might do it a lot
I can't vouch for him, but he's the best I got
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Both me and Jakey got a problem with authority
Especially authority that deals without majority
Can't be too judicious for our cash is a minority
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Jakey likes to run around throwing rocks and trash
Jacking the police cars, selling parts for cash
Popping the trunk to see if they got a stash
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright, alright
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Jakey likes to run around with a picket sign
Sometimes jail time avoiding ticket fines
One thing he can't abide is licking their behinds
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
We meet the opposition when we start a riot here
Oppose negotiations so that we make it clear
We'll cause a lot of damage and we'll cause a lot of fear
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
We like to take the stimulants, we're focused and acute
You never can tell when the cops'll snap and shoot
Never on my gravestone "he snoozed, his ass is moot"
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright, alright, alright
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
We f@+@ Republicans but think they're icky
Talk of world conquest makes them sticky
You gotta beg and beg to get your dick-a-licky
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Me and Jakey like dodging the gun
Me and Jakey like to hit-and-run
We dis the politicians but it's all in good fun
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
We got into politics to char and pillage
Maybe we can visit in your bar or village
Enter our plunder time for serious chillage
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright, alright, alright
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright, alright
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright, alright, alright
Hey, hey, civil disobedience
Alright
Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right, I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light, don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right
Ooh yeah, I
Just wanna watch the girls, goin' by...
It's like poetry in motion
against a hot summer sky.
I'm in love, yeah yeah...
at least every minute or two...
until the next time a girl walks by
I think I love her too
I can't help myself
but I just loose my head
everytime you see 'em walkin' by...
Summertime Girls
You make my whole world go around
Summertime Girls
When you lift me up
I never come down, no, no...

We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
Wenn getanzt wird, will ich führen,
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht,
lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren,
Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
Ich kenne Schritte, die sehr nützen,
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen,
und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss,
weiß noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss!
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
ich werde Euch die Richtung zeigen,
nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus,
und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
This is not a love song,
this is not a love song.
I don't sing my mother tongue,
No, this is not a love song.
We're all living in America,
Amerika is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

Johnny's in America
Johnny wants a brain
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Johnny's in America
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn't stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope
Five to one he gets away
That's the odds I'm going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he's going to live
Oh Johnny

Well I'm walking on down the road,
but it can't be heaven,
'cause the streets aren't gold,
and everybody knows what Bobby D was told.
I'm walkin' on down the road.
A'like a momma bear hugs her baby bear cubs,
A dude he can't lose when he lives on love.
Like the bark on a tree.
Like the skin on my knees.
I'm standin' by my blood.
Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song.
Everybody knows, everybody things, that I've done wrong.
Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song.
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
lifted some stones
saw the skin and bones
of a city without a soul
I went out walking under an atomic sky
where the ground won't turn
and the rain it burns
like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering
|
|
Did my time among the creeps
Did my time among the thieves
Did my time among the scores
Did my time among the whores
Did my time among the blessed
Walked among the living dead
Searching up and down this world
Doing things you've never heard
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain
Did my time among the lost
Paying such a heavy cost
Did my time among the cruel
Laying with the broken fools
Did my time among the slaves
Walked around their waiting graves
Did my time among the lies
Watching as they slowly die
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain
Did my time among the strong
Some are here and some are gone
Did my time among the cursed
Praying that my brain would burst
Did my time among the slaves
Walked upon their living graves
Did my time among the lies
Watching as they slowly die
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain
All I save
All I save
All I save
All I save
Change
Could happen any day,
So says the whipporwill.
She hangs 'round for the seeds I leave
Out on the windowsill.
"Be free, fool, be free you fool,"
She sings all afternoon.
And as if to show me how it's done,
She leaps into the blue.
Change
Could happen any day,
Or so say all the guards
To the prison I have built around
My solitary heart.
I tell myself that I'm alright,
That it's not so bad a place.
Truth is, I'm just scared to death
Of walking through that gate.
And change could happen any day,
So say my true love's eyes.
They see into my shadow with their sweet, forgiving light.
She smiles and says, "come on, let's go, let's stroll the boulevard."
"It's such a shame to waste the night just sitting in the dark."
Change
Could happen any day,
So said the mountaineer
Before he turned to face his cliff
Without a trace of fear.
"Yodelay-he-oh, yodelay-he-ooh," he sang right up until
He caught sight of that open blue,
And became a whipporwill.
He caught sight of that open blue,
And became a whipporwill.
All that rain outside my window, but all and all, I know
It's gettin' better every day
Soon the sun will shine through my window, when it's gonna come
No I really, couldn't say
But I know,it's gettin' better every day
Oh, it's gettin' better now, every day

I found you sittin' on a suitcase cryin'
Beneath my feet I feel the rumble of a subway train, yeah.
Oh the train came in breathless, the passengers restless,
Sayin' baby, you'll never change
You gotta get gone, you gotta get goin'
Hey, the world ain't slowin' down for no one, hey
It's a carnival calling out to you,
It sounds like a song, it hits you like scripture,
You paint the picture with colors squeezed from your hands,
Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round,
Hey, look out, the world ain't slowin' down
It's a big blue world...
I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night-stands, my suitcase and guitar at hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escape, at home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
|

I’ll be coming home
Just to be alone
Cause I know you’re not there
And I know that you don’t care
I can hardly wait to leave this place
No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
By the time you come home
I’m already stoned
You turn off the TV
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
Till you get off my case
No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
I’m better off alone
No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home
Since she's been gone I want no one to talk to me.
It's not the same but I'm to blame, it's plain to see.
So go away, leave me alone, don't bother me.
I can't believe that she would leave me on my own.
It's just not right when every night I'm all alone.
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me.
I know I'll never be the same if I don't get her back again.
Because I know she'll always be the only girl for me.
But 'till she's here please don't come near, just stay away.
I'll let you know when she's come home. Until that day,
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me.
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me.
I know I'll never be the same if I don't get her back again.
Because I know she'll always be the only girl for me.
But 'till she's here please don't come near, just stay away.
I'll let you know when she's come home. Until that day,
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me.

There's a man goin' 'round takin' names,
An' he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same,
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
When the Man comes around.
The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
For you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the Man comes around.
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers,
One hundred million angels singin',
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin', voices cryin',
Some are born an' some are dyin',
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree,
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree,
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Till Armageddon, no Salaam, no Shalom,
Then the father hen will call his chickens home.
The wise men will bow down before the throne,
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown
When the Man comes around.
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down
When the Man comes around.
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers,
One hundred million angels singin',
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin', voices cryin',
Some are born an' some are dyin',
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree,
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree,
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
In measured hundredweight and penny pound.
When the Man comes around.
And I need to get back to you
and lay this heavy head in your lap
cause these days nothing makes more sense
than the dance towards the inevitable end.
And I’m wearing virginal white for you
don’t you see?
So please come with your sharpened knives
and murder me.
And I’m wearing virginal white for you
don’t you see?
So please come with your sharpened knives
and murder me
Cause I’m wearing virginal white for you
don’t you see?
And my eyes are more open now
than they'll ever be.
(Why's it got to be?)
(I heard it all before)
(cause it don’t always end)
(the way it ended before.)
There ain't no god here,
far as I can see,
your god of hope and light never did nothin' straight by me.

But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...

Hard times, got hard times, hard times
Got blues, got blues, you got, you got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got
Yeah! Blues!
You got "My boss, man, is a bastard and I wanna kill him" blues.
You got "My boyfriend's a m##@*!@*%!@!
and I wanna cut his balls off and shove 'em right down his throat" blues.
Can't take it, can't take it no more, can't take it, can't take it no more
Blues!
I got gun in my mouth blues
I got gun-in-my-mouth blues.
Lookin' out my window, sun comes up, sun comes burnin' down
No answer, no answer, no aswer, no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer
I'm alone in my room, but I'm not by myself
I'm alone in my room, but I'm not by myself
I've got my hands wrapped 'round my gun
I've got my hands wrapped 'round my gun
No answer, no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer, no answer
Can't touch me, can't touch me, can't touch me, can't touch me, can't touch me
Suck in.
Pull it, pull it, pull it, pull it.

Fifty-six sailed aboard
A ship called Byron One
She's carry'n oil, and men on deck,
And a harpoon whaling gun
All you trawlermen, come on,
Forget your snapper and your prawn,
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail,
Fishing for the humpback whale
Tractor for a whale winch,
The ship's an old fair mile
Twin diesels turn the screws around,
She whales the Aussie style
All you trawlermen, come on,
Forget your snapper and your prawn,
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail,
Fishing for the humpback whale
Keep a sharp lookout, me lads,
The whale is on the run
We'll drive them into Byron Bay
And shoot them with our gun
All you trawlermen, come on,
Forget your snapper and your prawn,
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail,
Fishing for the humpback whale
The harpoon and line fly true,
Bedding deep into the whale
She splits the timbers of the ship
With a flurry of her tail,
All you trawlermen, come on,
Forget your snapper and your prawn,
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail,
Fishing for the humpback whale
The rigging struts have snapped in two,
They reel beneath the blow
Gunner fires the killing shot,
That humpback sinks below...
Make the tail fast to the bow,
We got no time for bed
Four and twenty hours each day
We kept that factory fed
All you trawlermen, come on,
Forget your snapper and your prawn,
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail,
Fishing for the humpback whale
A hundred whales and fifty more
Through the factory we did send
Then the orders came "knock off, me lads,"
Season's at an end,
All you trawlermen, come on,
Forget your snapper and your prawn,
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail,
Fishing for the humpback whale
"Jackie hits the streets.
she swears all she sees
is the hunger in their eyes
and the desperation in their speech
Jackie hunts the shadows
with a Bowie knife at her elbow.
She cuts free
those horrible drums
that beat like bats in their sternums.
She wears their fear around her neck.
(I heard it all
from shady streets.
She travels light
on angel feet.
Best watch your back
if I were you,
her body's warm
that executes.)
Jackie's still on the news,
as detectives gather clues
so she tattoos a mustache
above her lip,
shaves her head,
curses God for those hips
that sway when the beat plays
dead give away
she ain't no man."

Travelin' down that coal town road,
Listenin' to my rubber tires whine.
Goodbye to buckeye and wild sycamore,
I'm leavin' you all behind.
Oh, I've been a coal miner all of my life,
Layin' down tracks in the hole.
I got a shack back in Ironwood bent by the wind,
My blood veins as blue as the coal
Blood veins as blue as the coal
Somebody said "that's a strange tattoo
"You've got on the side of your head."
I said that's the blueprint left by the coal,
Any more and I'd have been dead.
But I love the rumble and I love the dark,
I love the cool of the slate,
But it's travelin' down this new road lookin' for a job
Travelin' and lookin' ahead,
Travelin' and lookin' ahead
Stood for the union, walked in the lines,
Fought against the company.
Stood for the U.M.W. of A.
Who's gonna stand for me?
Got no house and I've got no pay,
I just got a worried soul
And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal,
Left by the number nine coal
Someday when I am dead and gone
To heaven the land of my dreams,
I'm not gonna worry 'bout losin' my job
To bad times and big machines.
Not gonna pay my money away
On bills and hospital plans,
Oh, I'm gonna pick coal out of blue heaven's roll,
And sing with the angel band,
Sing with the angel band
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

The chaos that surrounds you,
The facts that astound you,
At last your number has found you
Your number is one
I'm looking high
I'm looking low
I want to know therefore I go,
Your number is one
See them pull into the slow lane,
The no go lane
Watch them take the poison that drives them all insane!
Your number is one
Your number is one
Your mind decided
Your number is one
You are undivided
For you there is but one direction
Your number is one
I am looking high
I'm looking low
I want to know therefore I go
Your number is one
I am looking high
I'm looking low
I want to know therefore I go
Your number is one
That number is one!
One!
One!
The only one!
That number is one!
One!

The only one!
Keep the fact intact!
Keep the truth at the top of the stack!
When you get to all the other stacks
Take the stack down off the rack
Your number is one
Your mind has decided
Your number is one
You are undivided
For you there is but one direction
Your number is one
I'm looking high
I'm looking low
I want to know therefore I go
Your number is one
I'm looking high
I'm looking low
I want to know therefore I go
Your number is one
That number is one!
One!

The only one!
That number is one!

The only one!
Your number is one!

The only one!
That number is one!

The only one!
We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
In the eyes of tiger
Do you think were robot clean
Does this face look almost mean
Is it time to be an android not a man
The pleasantries are gone
Were stripped of all we were
In the eyes of tiger
We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138, we are 138
8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
