ACHILLES LAST STAND
It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Whoa, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had.
Whoa, the songs to sing
When we at last return again.

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil's in his home.
Whoa, to sail away
Sandy lands and other days.
Whoa, to touch the dream
That hides inside and is never seen, yeah.

Into the sun of south and north
At last the birds have flown.
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground.
Whoa, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din.
Whoa, to laugh aloud
Dancing high above the crowd, yeah.

Seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
Celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah.

Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summer's glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow.
Whoa, the sweet refrain
It soothes the soul and calms the pain.
Oh, Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again.

Wandering the wanderings
What place to rest the search?
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth,
From the earth...

I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.

Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth.

FOR YOUR LIFE
Well, well.
Oh, hoh, hoh
You said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh-hoh
Exhibition is your habit,
Emotion second-hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Had to pull away to save me,
Well, maybe next time around-a, oh.

And she said,
"Don'tcha want, a-don'tcha want cocaine, cocaine, cocaine?"
Hadn't planned to, could not stand'a try it, fry it, ow
Now, now, now, now, yeah.

Wooo-oooh-oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Heard a cry for mercy, uh,
In the city of the damned-a
Uh-oh, baby, damn...
In the pits you go no lower,
The next stop's underground
A-ho, how low underground
You wanna know is it quite over
To fame it deals a losin' hand.

And I said,
"Didn't mean to, did not a-mean to fluff it
You didn't plan it, you overran it, aah-ha-ha-how, yeah."

Do you wanna, do you want, do ya, d-do
Do you, would you wanna?
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you, d-do
Do you, would you wanna?

When you blow it, babe,
You got to blow it right
Baby, if you fake it, mama,
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please-a, a-fake it right for yourself, babe
When ya fa-fa-fa-fake it, baby
You're fakin' it for your life, for your life,
For your life, for your life.

Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do you, would you wanna?
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do you, would you wanna?

Oh, like to help ya, baby
But I don't know what to do-ooh-ooh, yeah
Sometime, baby
Nothin' I can do-ooh-ooh, yeah.

With the fine lines of the crystal
Payin' through your nose
And when they couldn't resist ya
I said, "Just go with the flow."
And now your stage is empty
Pull down the curtain, baby, please
Fold up your show.

Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
I hadn't planned it, I overran it
Fry it for your life, for your life

ROYAL ORLEANS
One-time love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick,
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.

Feel it bite.

A man I know
Went down to Louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left and right.

Whiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter,
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot,
But fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.

Whiskers!

Down on Bourbon Street,
You know, it's right
You can see, my friend,
They run around all through the night
Most everywhere
Until 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,
strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like Barry White!

Now one town love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
Take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite, ah.

NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE
Aah aah aah aah,
Aah aah aah aah.

Trying to save my soul to light
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

CANDY STORE ROCK
Well... Oh baby, baby,
Don't you want a man like me?
Oh baby, baby,
I'm just as sweet as anybody could be
Oh baby, baby,
I want to look to your eyes of blue
Oh baby, baby,
It's more than anybody else could do.

Well... Oh baby, baby,
You know, when I see you walkin' down the street,
Oh baby, baby,
Well, you lookin' good enough to eat
Oh baby baby,
I don't believe I've tasted this before
Oh baby, baby,
I want it now and in a month or more.

Yeah, talk about, yeah
Yeah, talk about, yeah.

Oh baby, baby,
You know that I wanted it more
Oh baby baby,
I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store
Oh baby, baby,
It ain't the wrapping that sells the goods
Oh baby, baby,
I got a sweet tooth, but my mouth is full.

Yeah, talk about, yeah
Ooh, yeah, talk about, yeah.

Yeah, talk about, yeah
Ooh, yeah, talk about, yeah.

Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright.

Well... Oh baby, baby,
Oh, you sting me like a bee
Oh baby, baby,
I like your honey and it sure likes me
Oh baby, baby,
I got my spoon inside your jar
Oh baby, baby,
Don't give me too much, don't make me starve.

Oh baby, baby,
Sugar sister on a silver plate, huh
Oh baby, baby,
I need a mouthful and I just can't wait, no
Oh baby, baby,
See the shaking in my hand
Oh baby, baby,
Don't mean to fumble 'cause it tastes so bad,
Tastes so bad, tastes so bad,
Tastes so bad, tastes so bad.

Ooh, ooh, baby, it's alright
Oh, it's alright
Ooh, ooh, baby, it's alright
Oh, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
It's alright, it's alright.

HOTS ON FOR NOWHERE
I was burned in the heat of the moment
No, it coulda been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows, I turned away.

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
The timing is right growin' older
I've got friends who will give me fuck fall.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.

The corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey.

So I looked 'round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay.

I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la
Now do it.

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise.

Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
You can land in a boat without oars.

La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh, hey, babe,
I lost my way.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
I really, really did.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.

Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
Do you wanna know?
Do you really, really wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe
Oh, let me tell you, oh
That it feels so good, that it must be right.

Come on, babe
Oh, let me tell you
If it feels so good, then it must be right.

Come on, babe
Oh, let me tell you, oh
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels
So good, oh, so good, oh, so good
Oh, yes

TEA FOR ONE
How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty-four hours,
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 come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seems 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, this one's for we two,"
Which in the end is you anyway.

How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes 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 back again.

How come 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 way.

A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby, when I feel this way, I feel this way.

That the wind 'll shake 'em down
And the flat world's flyin'
there’s a new plague on the land

If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join

In fields of plenty when heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted rivers call

And the wind is cryin'
Of a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I've all this wonder of earthly plunder
Will 't leave us anything to show

And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin'
From the shambles of the old

If we just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just join hands, hands
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ah, ah, hey
That's right

HOUSES OF THE HOLY
Let me take you to the movies
Can I take you to the show
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow

From the houses of the holy
We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
Ah, you know

There's an angel on my shoulder
In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden
And the seeds of love I'll sow
You know-whoa-oh

So the world is spinning faster
Are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master
Will you heed the master's call
Oh-whoa-oh, Satan an' man

Said there ain't no use in cryin'
'Cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lyin'
Was this the only world you had
Oh-oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow
You know-whoa, that's right

TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT
Greasy, slicked down body, groovy leather trim

Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, I'm gonna do your oil

Talkin' 'bout love, huh,

Guaranteed to run for hours, mama, I need brand new tires

From now on my gasoline I believe I'm gonna crack your head

Ounheahhonhouh

KASHMIR
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Secret elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh

Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin' Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Whaoh-oh, oh
Ohhhh

Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there
Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you

IN THE LIGHT
And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road, you will find the road

Hey, ooh, did you ever believe that I could leave you
Standing out in the cold
Hey, yeah, baby, I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul, yeah
Oh-whoa-oo-ohh, baby, I just wanna show what I'd give you
It is from ev'ry ben' in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-oo-ohh, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me
Oh, I would share your load
Let me share your load
Ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can't go on In the light you will find the road
Hey, ah-hoh, though the winds of change may blow around you
But that will always be so
Oh, whoa-oo-oh, whoa-oo-oh, when love is pain it can devour you
If you are never alone I would share your load I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me

BRON-YR-AUR
(Instrumental)

DOWN BY THE SEASIDE
Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'

Ohhhhh, ooooooh, oh oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day

Ohhhhhhh, oooooooh
Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run,
see how they run, see how they run
Run-run, run-run, run-run

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you
Some folk twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh

Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Yeah, yeah

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
Yes she will, yes she will

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooooh
Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
The people turned away
Don't they know that they're goin'

TEN YEARS GONE
There as it was
Then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune
Each have several rays
On the wings maybe
Down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes
Didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest
Got so far to go
Changes fill my time
Baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you
And how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best stuff you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would
Through the eyes an' I sparkle
Senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way
See your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes
Didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest
The nest is in our soul
Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'
Ohh
Oh darlin' Oh, yeah Oh darlin'
I'm never gonna leave ya I never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Holdin' on, everday I'm never I'm never I'm never I'm never I'm never Oh

NIGHT FLIGHT
I received a message from my brother 'cross the water
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly
Oh-oh-oh-oaoh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning
Meet me in the middle of the night
Ah-oh, yeah, the morning light is comin'
Don't it make you wanna go 'n an' feel alright

And ring loud and clear
Unnh, please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
Tell the people they got to fly away from here
Ohhoaoh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Suddenly they have a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile

And the wheel rolls on
Silent moves through the flames, you come
From the deep behind the sun
Gives my nightmares, my love has gone
Left me barely holdin' on, oh, oh
With blazin' eyes I see my tremblin' hands

Ooh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun, another day, yeah

SICK AGAIN
From the windows of a rented limousine
I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen
Painted lady in the city of lies
Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want, baby
I must be the one you need, yeah
Clutchin' pages from your teenage dream
In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise
Through the circus of the L.A. queens
How fast your learn the downhill slide
Oh, how you play the game
Still don't know your name
You know I'm the one you want, baby
Whooh, yes, I've got to be the one you need, need, need, need yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, you got to tell me

Just a minute, just a minute
Lips like cherries on the brow of a queen

Said you dug me since you were thirteen
Then you giggle as heave an' sigh
Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same
Baby, I got to tell you, I'm the one you want
And everybody knows I'm the one you need, yeah-yeah
Oh, get it, get it

It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh oh oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooooh
Oh hoh, oh hoh

Talk talk talk talk
Hey, I've felt the coldness of my winter
I've never thought it would ever go
I've cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so, ohhhhh, whoa
But I know that I love you so, whoa

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah.

OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
Hey lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh darlin' darlin', darlin'
Walk a while with me
Oh, you've got so much, so much, so much
Many have I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed
Along the open road

Many times I've lied
Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered
How much there is to know

Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dreams
And a pocketful of gold

Mellow is the man
Who knows what he's been missing
Many many men
Can't see the open road

Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing
You really ought to know, hoh ohh ohh ohh
You really ought to know, ohh
I really ought to know, ohhh, you know I should, you know
I should, you know I should know

THE CRUNGE

Ooh yeah, no no, ah, ah

She's my baby let me tell you that I love her so and
And, she's the woman I really wanna love
And let me tell you more, oooh oooh
She's my baby lemme tell ya she lives next door
She's the one a woman the one, a woman that I know
I ain't gon', I ain't gon'
I ain't gonna tell, I ain't gonna tell you one thing
That you really ought to know, but
She's my lover baby and I love her so and
She's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl
And she's the kind of lover that makes me fill the whole world and
She's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ohh
She's the kind of girl--I know what it's all about

Take it home, take it, take it, take it
Ah, excuse me
Ah will you excuse me I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge
Please
Have you seen the bridge
I ain't seen the bridge
Where's that confounded bridge

DANCING DAYS
Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident
In the way you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?, dig

You told your mama I'd get you home
But you didn't say I got no car
I saw a lion, he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart heart heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

So, dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only yes, my one and only, yes
Is that the way it should start?
I know it is all

D'YER MAK'ER
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
You don't have to go, oh oh, oh oh

You don't have to go.

Ay ay ay ay, ay ay
All those tears I cry, ay ay, ay ay
All those tears I cry, oh oh, ay ay
Baby, please don't go.

When I read the letter you wrote me,
It made me mad, mad, mad
When I read the words that it told me,
It made me sad, sad, sad
But I still love you so
I can't let you go
I love you
Ooh, baby, I love you.

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Every breath I take, oh oh, oh oh
Oh, every move I make, eh, yeah
Oh, baby, please don't go.

Ay ay ay ay, ay ay
You hurt me to my soul, oh oh, oh oh
You hurt me to my soul, oh, oh oh oh
Darling, please don't go.

NO QUARTER
Close the door, put out the light
Know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter.

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
(Ah, the pain without quarter)
They ask no quarter
(Ooh, yeah, when I'm callin', callin', callin')
They give no quarter, ah
The dogs of doom are howlin' more
Give me quarter
I hear the dogs of doom a-howlin' more

THE OCEAN
We've done four already, but now we're steady,
and then they went: one, two, three, four.

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late for the hellhound headin' forth.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free and play for me and play a whole lot more, more
Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way.

I don't know.

La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahh
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lah
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahh
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lah.

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

Oh, yeah
Sure is fine
I blow my mind
When I feel so good now, a-yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, it's so good!

THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE
The Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light

The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all, hoh

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes

Side by side we wait the night
Of the darkest of them all

I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley below I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold
The seas of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no

Oh, dance in the dark of night
sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red

Oh, war is the common cry
Pick up you swords and fly

The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know

Oh, well, the night is long
The beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on

Sing as you raise your bow
Shoot straighter than before

No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the mornin' light

The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back
Bring it back

At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes

Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back

Oh now, oh now, oh now
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back

Oh now, oh now, oh now
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh,
and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

Ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh-ooh ohh hoh

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May-Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder
Ahhh, hoh-hoh

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah-ee-yeah
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP
Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby
What do you, what do you think I saw
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said
“Hey, boy, do you wanna score?”
And you know how it is
I really don't know what time it was, whoa oh hoh
So I asked them if I could stay awhile

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really
Really out of my mind
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said
“Please, hey, would we care to all get in line
Get in line“
Well you know
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun, hoh hoh oh
He said that his friends would all drop by, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see
And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ah, I'm not trying to fight it
You really don't care if they're coming, hoh hoh oh
I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh ooh ooh ooh

If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better
You better open your eyes, whoa-oo-oh yeah
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now
Over the hills where the spirits fly

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I really don't know
I really don't know

FOUR STICKS
Oh, baby, it's cryin' time
Oh, baby, I've got to fly
Got to try to find a way
Got to try to get away
'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe

Oh, baby, the river's red
Ah, baby, in my head
There's a funny feelin' goin' on
I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls fly in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the rivers run dry, baby
How would you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow's end
Mmm, baby, it's just a den
For those who hide
Who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe

And when the owls fly in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the rivers run dry, baby
How do you feel?

Ahhh ahhh
Ahhh
And how do you feel?

Ooh yeah, brave I endure
Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore
They can't hold the wrath of those who walk
An' the boots of those who march
Baby, through the roads of time so long ago

GOING TO CALIFORNIA
Spend my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind, make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all all the same
Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake, watch out

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, mmm huh-uh

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Lord
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Ooh.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do
If you're going down to Chicago.

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Ah-oh.

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Oh, oh.

Goin'
I'm goin' to Chicago
Goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down.

Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down
