I'll find my way home lyrics
| You ask me where to
begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is lost How will I find what is near Don't question I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home My sun
shall rise in the east Your friend is close by your side |
One world we all
come from One world we melt into one Just hold my hand and we're there Somehow we're going somewhere Somehow we're going somewhere [interlude] You ask me where to begin |
State of independence lyrics
| State of life-may I
live-may I love Coming out the sky, I name me a name
Coming out-silver word-what it is (Hey) Coming up-Carabi-this sense of freedom Movin' on, 'believe' that's it, call it magic Shablam idi Shablam ida Shot to the soul-the flame of Oroladin [interlude] Sounds like a signal from you Love like a signal you call Home be the temple of your heart |
(Hey, hey)
Yes I do know how I survive (Hey, hey) (Yayah) (Hey, hey) |
Beside lyrics
| I have seen the
compass turning Round & round my heart The senses are yearning For a possible change of heart That is coming to you Coming to you. You stand upright, you are different Why the spinal shock the fusion the evil Spill it out on the floor of belief Come and mend this design Come and mend this design With every right we do. I have seen the
sun, this sounds crazy |
It would seem there
is no end To the bad or goodness in man So my friend it seems the weariest night Just leads to a heavenly dawn Should we see so much In every time we sigh. Even this we
could call music He took so much a lot of my mind |
Mayflower lyrics
| The Sea like The
Sea, (the sea like the sea) The Wind like The Wind, (the wind like the wind) The Stars in the Sky, (the stars in the sky)
The Sea like The Sea, (the sea like the sea) In the wind-on the ship-a lullaby We searching in the day |
For there is hope
if truth be there How much more will we share We pilgrims of the sea Looking for a home- In 1620, The
Mayflower sailed from Plymouth westward, The Mayflower was launched into space Stars in The Sky |
The friends of Mr. Cairo lyrics
[Honking car sound]
[Squealing tires sound]
[shooting]
[movie like speech:]*
Frankie: Okay, this is the picture. Johnny's been hurt. He's been hurt bad.
Woman: Look, we can't leave him here, we can't. Look, he's in a pool of blood.
He's gonna die, I know it.
Frankie: We've gotta leave him here, honey. We gotta. He won't talk, I promise
you that! Will you Johnny?
Woman: Frankie, I don't care whether he talks or not, I just can't leave him
like this.
Johnny Listen. Leave me here I... I... I can ... I can ... handle it.
Woman: Oh, no, Johnny, no...
[interlude]
Frankie: The cops are outside. Luke's in the car. Come on, let's get the hell
outta this joint.
Woman: Frankie, when they get here wer're gonna be dead, I know we are! We don't
have a gun!
Frankie: Listen. We got three million... Listen, [spud]. We got three million in
the can, here. We can't look after him, I'll send the bird to his mother. Come
on, let's just get out of this place, we can do it!
Woman: Oh, no, Johnny, no...
[interlude]
[sound of Police car siren, shooting, Squealing tires sound]
Frankie: Okay now, just lean up against that door. When I give the word "Go" we
just..., we just go through it and blast at the same time.
| She came, as in the
book, Mickey Spillane That Saturday night dark masquerade Had filled his friend with lead, the same, sweetheart But then, as nothing happens quite the same Investigation is the game He had to check her story right away-he dead Sam Spade his buddy Archer first to go he got it-he dead She spelt it out, how could they know the 'Fatman' got it -he dead Her sister didn't really live at all-confusion-he dead His chase led to the Fatman, to face the friends of Mr. Cairo [movie like speech:] Woman: Hey, there's a really terrific dress shop. Can we stop this raid while I buy a new gown? Frankie: I'll buy you the whole factory, sweetheart. Don't worry. [sound of Police car siren, shooting]

Give me Cagney
any day Or Jimmy Stewart for President Or Edward 'G' and all those guys Who always shoot between the eyes [sound of shooting] Between the eyes Between the eyes [movie like speech:] Kasper: ha, ha, well done Mr. Cairo, and what do you have to say about that, my friend? Spade: Allright. So you've got me in it. What about her? Brigid: Don't worry about me, I'm okay Kasper: Very magnanimous, sir, very magnanimous indeed, ha, ha, ha Mr. Cairo: You mean..., you won't make us an offer we... we can't refuse... Father love do you work, do you work for Mother Chances could call, and accept that, be no other Science as it might, disappear correspond with colour Chance is the fruit, will outlive, what is now the brother Call for total wealth to distribute like a picture In black and white, give it joy, give it, let it hit you Spoil our existence by extreme gift to population Father love do you work, do you work for Mother Tell me straight be the Godfather be no other Media Kings give us now give us total movie Straight right now, give it clear, give us total movie Now being here, being now, being here believing [movie like speeches:] Man: I don't know which words to put in there sweetheart, you know, I can't do it. Pretty kind of useless, though, don't you think so Mary? |
Man: Come with me to the far lands of Baghdad.
Woman: Oh, if only I could. That's what I want more than anything in the world,
but it could never be...
Man: Of course it can...
Woman: But my father would find us wherever we went. Yes, he has forbidden me
to... to even speak to you, if he finds me now. I don't know what he'd do...
Man: But he doesn't know that I'm... I'm a prince. Before, I was the thief of
Baghdad now...
Woman: It doesn't matter...
Man: Then follow me, darling, follow me now to the ends of the Earth
| One on one to talk
to you Like film stars they get close to you You've mirrored his appeal He wants you so, he wants to be beside you Then you pass by giving him the other side of you Like the mystics do So that every time he moves, he moves for you Soul and light can always see The meeting of true love and she This silent night and I, I guess a lonely mind might see I've seen love on the screen I've seen a screen goddess and me-oh How often this, how often, this the power of you And so, I must confess Whatever I see I'm meant to be there with you With you with you Silent golden movies, talkies, technicolour, long ago My younger ways stand clearer, clearer than my footprints Stardom greats I've followed closely |
Closer than the
nearest heartbeat Longer that expected -they were great- Oh love oh love just to see them Acting on the silver screen, oh my Clark Gable, Fairbanks, Maureen O'Sullivan Fantasy would fill my life and I Love fantasy so much Did you see in the morning light I really talked, yes I did, to Gods early dawning light And I was privileged to be as I am to this day To be with you. To be with you To be with you. To be with you To be with you. To be with you [movie actor like speech:] [sound of old movie projector] Mr. Cairo: Listen. I have arranged this display for... for all of you people to... to come here this evening and I... I know you have been searched, but, what you... you don't realize is, is that in the back of the Maltese Falcon, I have it ... |

Back to school lyrics
| Made my escape just
a few days ago I don't wanna tell you how low you can go Movin' on up get a job quickly Something hit me I don't know wot it was I wanna go back this week I wanna go back this week I wanna go back this minute They said I was unruly Better get a job I really didn't understand the meaning of the word I tried to get an understanding with the foreman boss He simply put me down and said I wasn't (To be trusted) So I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back to school I wanna go back to school You might think I'm a crazy fool I wanna go back to school Man its safer in there The world outside is so uncool I need the money right now, I need the right job The guys at work just needle me, they just can't get enough I telephoned my friend, he said "same with me" So wot are we going to do in this unearthly factory I don't understand, how I was pushed to the brink |
I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back to school I wanna go back to school I wanna go back to school Man it's crazy out here in the 'outer' world I wanna go back to school So I'm sitting in the dark In my bed the other night Thinking about my teacher Now wasn't she right They said youd get a shock Just like coming out of the womb The world outside's enormous There's only so much room People kick and tear your brain Life outside's insane I wanna go back "HERE ME NOW" I really tried to work so hard They told me scrub the floor They kicked me like a toy Nailed me to the door I wanna go back to school I wanna hear it, hear it Hear the golden rule I wanna go back to school |
Outside of this (inside of that) lyrics
| Outside of this
inside of that The memory lingers so right Completely as that We've loved a long time, be my friend, I need you
Inside of this and outside of that Outside of this Countless variations of the memory the state |
Crazy
understandings of the way we tilt the light But it shines when we make the sound Don't live by mistakes We can dance to your tune But in reaching out touching your love Feel those countless understandings On the countless many reasons There are to offer you my love Countless understandings of a ghetto starving nation Needing love I tell no lie Countless staring messages as mortal life reflection As it's spelt out once or twice But there's this whole understanding And it's coming I guess-I know- I hope that you can get into this To this I was there and then and then You were there and then and then We were there the beginning of time I
was there and then and then |
