Big Me
I will not rest
I don't want that
I was tempted
But I can't stay here now
I want to breathe cat fast
And dare my nine lives
I want to race around
The biting edge
I'll skate across the floor
And put my wings on
I'll fling the open door
And swallow the sun
I'm falling
I'm falling,
And I'll be bigger than life
I'll be Big Me
And I am up here
So high on my mountain
And you look so small to me
Tell me do you miss me now ?
And from the river to the sea
I trace the lifeline
Mmm where do I finish ?
And you begin ?
And I'll stride across the green
My seven-league boots on
I'll sweep the crystal lakes
And gather a storm
I'm falling
I'm falling
Don't you catch me
When I go
Coz I'll be bigger than life
I'll be bigger than life
I'll be Big Me
Big big big ee Big Me oh oh oh oh
In so ha Big Me
I'll be Big Me
Down By The River Side (Blue)
Down by the river side blue
I lie back and think of you
I wonder why
Glass trap king above my hand
Chewed grass and words you sigh
But boys don't cry
Sitting here waiting for the world to come back
I love sinks me like a stone but
Tired of being alone but
Won't you come back
I've got time to kill
Fish to fry
Worlds to see
And skies to fly
But you're in my veins
Like a sad song sings
A ship to shore
Heal my make day grow
But it's your love it sinks me like a stone
I'm tired of being alone
Come back
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Hoo la la la la la
Hoo la la la la la
Ooh butterfly
Butterfly spinning by
How do you make the bad time
Fly away ?
Bring back that dizzy day
When lover love my way ah ha
Down, down by the river side blue
Down, down by the river side blue
Hoo hoo heh oo heh
Hoo hoo heh oo heh
Hoo hoo heh ho woo
Cry To The Moon
I've been missing you lately
I've been pining and dining on sympathy
Friends they are kind
They don't help me
As I'm hurt, it's absurd
I've no pride, left inside,
I can't hide
And I cry for the moon
Will you come back soon ?
What if I promise you
I'll be good,
And love the way I should ?
I play it around to torment you
Keep you forever in chains
But all of these things
I did cruel old fair
But don't compare - to this pain
I've no shame, I can't hide
And I cried
And I cried for the moon
Those words you left me with rain
Round in my head like your kisses dear
You get by
You want rain
Well I'm flesh and blood too
And I do and I do
It's savage,
Savage
Savage
Savage, Ooh hoo ooh
Well I know this is no world-shaking tragedy
It's not even an untypical love-story
I don't want anyone new
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't think without you
I don't beak, I don't speak, don't speak about you
Without crying out, crying out, crying out
For their moon
Oh hum, bring him back soon oh oh ho ho
Shall with the star ahead
Shine the light
Show me where you are
Cry for the moon oh wo wo oh
Bring him on back soon
Ooh ooh wo ho
What if I promise you I'll be good,
Love the way I should,
Love the way I should,
Love the way I should ?
And I should
And I should
Oh uh oh oh hmm
Hmm hmm
Just come back
Ma Petite (My Dear One)
It's warm as a mid-day desert
Outside ma petite won't you stay with me a while
And I'll make you a perfect promise
I won't sleep ma petite if you stay with me a while
Ooh hoo
Nails in my back
Passionara
Nails in your coffin
Ooh ha do you hear them
Only the good and the delicious die young
Ma petite
Should friends and powers desert you
I'll be there by your side
Every crooked mind
For you have made my flesh forgiving
Wait for all to sleep ma petite
Let's make love alive
Put your nails in my back
Passionara
Nails in your coffin
Ooh ha do you hear them
Only the good and the delicious die young
Ma petite
That look in your eyes
Would make a wall how it crumble ah ha
What should a good boy do
But fold and fumble under
You've never ceased
To amaze me
And I have never loved a like of you
Oh I probably never will
Just put your nails in my back
Passionara
Nails in your coffin
Ooh ha do you hear them
Only the good and the delicious die young
Ma petite
Ah ha a ha ha
Ah hoo hoo hoo hoo
Only the good and the delicious die young
Ma petite
Poor Little Rich Girl (for Dee)
(Pristine part)
Out of (Oh you're) from the mouths of babes (now)
(Are such pearls of wisdom hmm hmm hmm hmmm hmm oo ooh)
(Oh) She said it is with sugar and stone
On the one hand sweet, on the other cold bone
The meek shall inherit the earth we're told
Is it true for you
Poor little rich girl ah
Ah ah ah ah ha
And he comes back to me
With a ghostly fret
And I breathe her in
The perfume of her hair
There has to be somewhere
Where you belong
Poor little rich girl ah ha
Ah ah ah ah ha
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
You'd better not sell your soul
I'd wait too long
Coz the wind might change
And we'll never catch your sun
Poor little rich girl ah ha (oh)
Hoo ooh hoo oh
And we (you) were born upon a silver platter
We had (you have) fire to seek the things that matter
Like love in the air
And hope in those ruins somewhere
When you build your house
When you build your house
(Ah) Seal the bricks
With love, love,
Love and attention ah ha
Ah ah ah ah ah
Oo ho oo ho
(But) You'd better not sell your soul
I'd wait too long
Coz the wind might change
And we'd never catch your sun
Poor little rich girl ah ha he ha
Ooh hoo he ooh ha he
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know what you makes so oh
Poor little rich girl ah
Ah ha ha
Oo ho oo ho
(Don't ask me) I don't know

I don't know what makes you so (oh oh oh)
Poor little rich girl
City Of Angels

Butterfly
Ooh Butterfly oo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Butterfly ooh hoo ooh oo
(ad-lib)
Ah ah ah
Oh out there where the seasons change
And the city where all their seasons change
Time is sharp and so divine
Plays such tricks upon your mind
Callas sings on one fine day
Break your heart again
Sirens will hear you'll lose your way
Bad to be the rain
There's a hope that won't lie down and die
No matter what is lost
Love is kept alive
Love is kept alive - in the City Of Angels
Every car
And deserts they stretch for everywhere in this place
And people talk nothing
But fame and fortune
Fame and fortune
Well it's in the steps of men and women
Going to their working lives
It is at the bawling like some
Crisp and evil - they accuse the fear of mine (?!)
It's a hope that won't lie down and die
No matter what is lost
Love is kept alive
Love is kept alive - in the City Of Angels
Every car
When Callas sings on one fine day
And you'll break your heart again
Sirens will hear you'll lose your way
And are bad to me
In every way in you
Hah
There's a hope ooh whoo ho oo
That won't lie down and die
Love is kept alive
In the City Of Angels
Love is kept alive
In the City Of Angels
In the City Of Angels
In the City Of Angels ha
You love ha
Please oh oh oh oh oh oh
Wah heh
Never Say Goodbye (specially for Om-mi)
Intro: My mum always used to say something to me when I was very small.
She used to say, "Never say little fountain I will not drink from you again"
I think it meant, "Never turn your back on anything, coz you might have to face it again"
(Harmonica solo)
Watch the boxcars go(ing)
Hit the trail
He's an eager boy
He doesn't mind the summer rain
Blows the tumbleweed
It could be (To a) classic
From his bitten leg
He's shaking still I will
I will
Never say goodbye oh ho no
Never say goodbye no ah ha
And then (well) he looks sad
Such big (making) plans
(He's) warned by an angel's breath
He feels his heart beat faster
It follows sleepless nights and
Home is calling too (gaining him)
His dreams are toshed
And broken (bait) I will
I will
Never say goodbye oh no
Never say goodbye no no no
Little fountain I won't
I won't drink from you again
(And) Hear the whistle blowing
(And) Hear the whistle blowing
Whoo whoo hoo whoo hoo
Whoo whoo hoo whoo hoo
Whoo whoo hoo whoo hoo oo hah
Hoo oo hah
Hoo oo
(Harmonica solo)
Mama doesn't know it
Where her blue eyed boy is going
And her papa doesn't know it
But he's missing you so
Mama doesn't know it
Where her blue eyed boy is going
And her papa doesn't know it
But he's missing you so
Goodbye ah no no
Never say goodbye no
Don't you ever say it (state)
Little fountain I won't
I won't pass this way again (drink from you again)
(And) Hear the whistle blowing
(And) Hear the whistle blowing
Whoo whoo hoo whoo hoo
Whoo whoo hoo whoo hoo
Whoo whoo hoo whoo hoo oo hah
Hoo oo hah
Hoo oo
(Harmonica solo)
Whoo ho
Whoo Whoo
(to fade)
All Our Hearts
There's no such thing as smoke without fire
Or pleasure without pain
And you won't feel a hope without desire
Sparked to the flame
All those things you tried to do
We couldn't hold a candle to
And yes we loved you so much
But not enough to drown to
The water's smooth
Is like a hen
And that voice we can hear
Is just the wind calling
All our hearts
Is soul
All our hearts
Is soul
And now in chains how it rains down
On Superman
All we ask is you lead
And we follow home
The wonder, the wonder of you
Could never be a nine day thing
The wonder of you
It just goes on and on
End of change may blow your way
But stay good life in your dreams
When the covert angels pass you by
And say "hear come's the cavalry"
You're like a lion
You're like a king
Oh that voice we can hear
Is just the wind calling
All our hearts
Is soul
All our hearts
Are cold
How it rains - now in chains
Down on Superman
All we ask is you lead
And we follow home
La la la la la
We want heaven
We want heaven
We want heaven
But we want it now
All our hearts
Are song
All our hearts
Are cold
Now in chains - how it rains
Down on Superman
All we ask is you lead
And we follow home
Oo hoo
We'll follow home
Oo hoo
We'll follow home
Hoo
Mercy
When the end is joy
But the means are not at home
You may find yourself alone
Just call my name out loudly
This cold world has been around
How with or without eyes
But that still small voice inside of you
Listen now is crying ...
"All that we need to get by
Is keep a little mercy
Mercy in mind
All that need you and I
Is shed a little mercy
Mercy In mind"
And no matter how deep the seed of love
Me is sown and grown
When you're on your face unknown
Just call my name out loudly
This old world is on its knees
How can not take the strain
But that still small voice inside of you
Listen now is crying ...
"All that you need to get by
Is keep a little mercy"
Mercy in mind
Oh when we see
What will we find
Keep a little mercy
Mercy in mind"
Shining like that save her little light
Gliding down on moonbeam in the sky - ooh high
Uh-oh that you need to get by
Is keep a little mercy
Mercy
In mind
(Harmonica solo)
Shining like that save her little light
Gliding downn on moonbeam in the sky - ooh high
Mercy draw the blood from who scorn on
And mercy won't the cheerly the born on
Uh-oh that you need to get by
Is keep a little mercy
Mercy
In mind
Word Perfect (This girl's at a loss for words)
uh ah ha ha
hmmm hmmm
Time flies - you read me like a book
Get lost between the lines - go overboard
Three little words should be so easy
So easy for me to say
Why do I find I'm lost completely
When you look my way
I used to be word perfect
Word perfect
Before you met me
I used to be word perfect
Listen to me now
Heh heh heh you
Ooh this raining again
The flowers have your drought
Let's give each other space
Then you say 'Space ?' and my heart stops
The mirror knows I used to talk
The very burns and windows street
Your eyes have got me spinning
Like some dizzy girl of three
Big bold letters chase me across
Blue moon mountains in my sleep
Power of speech deserts me
And my ship sinks to the blackest deep
Ah ha
I used to be word perfect
Word perfect
Before you met me
I used to be word perfect
But before you touched me
Never tongue-tied
Twisted inside
Listen to me now
I don't speak for love
I don't speak for love
It's thrown in I'm still falling ah
And you would've been proud
Of the night time left to hoo-oo-oo
The lights are on
But there's no one home
To save a girl's stop to ooh-hoo-oo
I used to be word perfect
Word perfect
Before you met me
I used to be word perfect
But before you touched me
Never tongue-tied
Twisted inside
Listen to me now
I don't speak for love
I don't speak for love
It's thrown in I'm still falling ah
Never tongue-tied
Never twisted inside
Listen to me now
This girl used to be
Word perfect ah
Listen to her now
Healing (She's Healing My Heart)
You've got a smile
Like a razor's edge
I let you get too close
And I cut myself
Feeling like
I'm buried underground
Crashed against
Walls of white sand hee ee
Do you believe - in the power of love ?
My life was empty as greyest skies above
Rising like phoenix from the fire
You lift me high
And you take me higher
Healing my heart
Healing my heart
Lay your hands of love
Lay them both on, over me
Do do do do do do do do do
How can we be so moon standing so still ?
How can we lose every shred of will ?
Every house of clay not built to last
Take this hand - I'll be sinking fast
And breathing in - always sweet desire
Healing my heart
Healing my heart
Lay your hands of love
Lay them both on, over me
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Ah - this time we'll fail
And every - moon pale hee hee ee hee
Every light in shade when you come home
Rising like phoenix from the fire
You lift me up
And you take me higher
Hee hee hea-ling
Hea-ling on my heart
Lay your hands of love
Lay them on, over me
Healing my heart
Healing my heart
Lay your hands of love
Lay them on, over me
On o- over me
On over me
Prayersong
extract:
"and for your peace and for your rest I'm wishing
this could be the rainy day we saved for
you in your small corner I'm in mine, wishing
won't you hear my prayersong?"
Story Of Rose
extract:
"people say she's mad
touched by the devil or gone to the bad
I say I say she's a gift from above
it's in the way she gives you all her love"
Touchdown In America
extract:
"and the glamtramps who are so out of reach
with immaculate hair and they're sleeping in cars
best friends treat them like aliens from mars
has beens that nevers were clinging to the bars,
is that how it will be?
For a girl like me."
