Oh Lordy Me, Oh Lordy My See you when you haven't got a dime Troubles are so deep,

First setlist 3/29/96
Outside in the middle of a field
I can hold a finger high in the air
Under the sky in the middle of it all
I can feel the wind blow the same for us all
In the middle there's a lot to know
In the middle there's a lot to see
Of a world that can be so cold
Of a world with a heart of gold
Chorus:
Sailing, Sailing
Sailing, Sailing
So many ways the world does live
So many ways the world does give
So many ways the world does make
So many ways the world does take
So many different lives the world does live
So many rivers the world must cross
So many tears the world does stream
So many eyes the world to see
Seems to Want to Hurt This Time Lyrics By:Jeb Puryear Music
By:Jeb Puryear Unofficial Lyrics
Live From the American Ballroom (2001)
First setlist 12/16/00
Life, love, potential love
Causes so much joy
Has the adverse power
To hurt you that much more
It's the same dark that falls
On the light that shines
Everything seems to want to hurt this time
I take a look inside
Nowhere to turn or go
No clear distinction
Above or below
Surreal existence
Casts its shadows to the blind
Everything seems to want to hurt this time
Aw, the party's crashin'
Fade into a distant drone
It only takes just one of us to be alone
Nobody's going but I still feel left behind
Everything seems to want to hurt this time
Red lights serenade me as I try to go
Outside the wind crashes with the smell of blowing snow
Three in the morning, cradled by a mental bind
Everything seems to want to hurt this time
Someday I will return
It will be none too soon
Jump off the front porch
Land on the crescent moon
Until then these fancy dreams
Are for another mind
Everything seems to want to hurt this time
All I want to do is wake up
Return to the loving kind
But everything seems to want to hurt this time
All I want to do is wake up
Return to the living kind
But everything seems to want to hurt this time

First setlist 7/1/94
Woah
Can you imagine
The farthest point from the naked eye
She can take you out there
Past the mystery in the night
There is simplicity
Out on a wave rolling in the weeds
There is simplicity
On the heels of south flying geese
Chorus:
She must have been a primitive
She feels it in her bones
She can't tuck in these shirts
With these ancient arms
That have never moved this way before
Woah
Can you imagine
The furthest point from the naked eye
3000 light years later
She's the nightmare of a corporate eye
There is simplicity
Out on a wave rolling in the weeds
There is simplicity
On the heels of south flying geese
The rise and the fall is our own creation
The rise and the fall is our own creation

Blue petals - chocolate paste
Smell of dirt - stair steps
To an open space
It's a long story - where to begin
You're breathing out
As we're breathing in
Chorus:
Twilight mystery mystic speak to me
It's forever, it's so sweet
It's forever, with no repeat
Moonshine, twilight shine
It's forever, it's so sweet
It's forever
Bending river - passing time
Cracks are sweeping - on up my spine
Impressions striking - out from the core
This is big - this is big
We've seen it before

There's a case made for love like this
Each and every direction
There's a case made for happiness Family Picture Lyrics

First setlist 1/28/00
The world is a wonderous puzzle
Everyone a piece and every piece fits
Every piece is alive making energy
Energy pulls the pieces together
Into a round ball
And there is love
It's a round ball
And there is love
The ball jumps the ball rolls
The ball lives in the moment I am told
The ball pumps and rolls with the flow
The ball laughs as it bounces
Chorus:
Sure as the sunrise it doesn't matter the shape of the hat
It all fits together in a family picture
And every wall's got room for that
Every piece is a part of the whole
No one piece more important than the rest
So stand up, take a number
Every piece here's got someplace to go
It's a round ball
And there is love
It's a rond ball
And there is love
There is love
Bridge:
Hey there look at you, you got nothin' else to do

There's an easy feeling
Can you feel it, you can feel it
With an ease we're stepping out
Are you ready, could you be ready
Living's good on the front porch
When we rock it, sure we rock it
Stepping out with the front porch
In your pocket, in your pocket
Chorus:
We're stepping out, get hip to the motion
One step puts us in the groove
Back to the shack for what it might lack
One step forward, take the good life back
Fitting in the very world
That creates us and relates us
One a blessing, two a curse
Human nature, human nature
Every life a lesson
In humility, in humility
Beauty graces the world
With simplicity, with simplicity
Bridge:
Let it be you, surely free you
May your life be a pleasure you've found
Let it move you, surely clue you
Bring your faith to a higher ground

Here's a little song that I wrote for you, oh God
All of my songs they are written by you
Pardon my words if they ever seem rude
I would gladly be what you want me to be
I would be everything that goes unseen
Let me humble myself one more time
Oh God, look what I have done
I hope my works they please you somehow
Oh God, now look what you have done
Ever since I met you, you make my heart stand still
Let me humble myself one more time
There's a healing in your name
Oh God, guard my mouth, take me from my own vanities
Oh God, bless my throat so I may always just sing thou praise
Let me humble myself one more time
Cause there's a healing in your name...

Red Tape (1991), Live from the American Ballroom (2001)
First setlist 12/13/90
In this life, in this life, in this life
We leave a trail that's far and wide
Good or bad, bad or good
Our memories decide
There are some places where I've been
Where you can still see the wounds
Think to myself as I look at the scars
Just who do you think you are
Innocent, innocent no more
I saw what I saw and I shut the door
Innocent, innocent no more
I knew it was wrong but I did it some more
In '78 I went through a rude spell
I knew it was fate, but I couldn't really tell
I thought that this was the way it was always gonna be
I hated everyone and everyone hated me
In '88 I went through a great spell
I knew it was fate, but I couldn't really tell
I knew that this was the way I wanted it to be
I loved everyone and everyone loved me
Every action has a reaction
Every life has a life to lead
Every human needs a fancy reason
Why they should live or breathe
I sit here feeling sorry for myself
For one thing or another
I'm trying hard to blame somebody else
For the miseries that I've discovered
I make a wish over a boiling cauldron
That I pass only strengths onto the children
And may the spirit move me to laugh and to sing
And I won't be drowned by the little things
Until the day when there are no more desires
And I put out all my little fires
There's nothing left but a wishful song
And there will be no right or wrong
Until that day, until that day, until that day
Sights and sounds they'll get to me

Thank god so little remains
Of that mental ball and chain

Now the birds they're starting to flirt
Got my hands all in the dirt
So delicious this life on earth
And I'm getting a taste
Chorus:
It's a new day
I feel it inside
In every way
We're up on holy ride
We did it once we'l do it again
It's so good to see you my friend

Lately I've taken for granted
The things we've had
The seeds we've planted
Every day should be a treat
In a life so short and sweet
Give thanks to the dream
The good people
Great things we've seen
All the chances we've had to meet
In a life so short and sweet
Standing on the ground
Watching the sun go down
Another circle made complete
In a life so short and sweet
And now I say I'm sorry
For creating the sad part of the story
What I fool I was to ever forget

Life's a Ride (2005)
First setlist 3/19/03
Used to be I was younger
Used to be time moved slow
Used to be all was said and done
But I knew nothing 'bout the setting sun
Used to be days seemed longer
Used to be an infinite flow
Used to be days were nothing but time
But at the end of 'em I'd nothing to show
Chorus:
Who ever said one was better
Between night and the light of day
One is trying to get somewhere
While the other might have found his way
Life's a ride
Every bit of the way
Used to be I was restless
Maybe now I still am
Used to be I couldn't sit still in my seat
And now I find I'm jumping out of my skin
Used to be fooling someone
Could've been fooling me
Nobody's fooling anyone now
Now because you know that talk is so cheap

w/Sciszors: At the Rongo (1997)
First setlist 12/13/90
I threw away everything I had
Twist of life so cruel
And the outcome is so sad
In the lifetime of a fool
Well, I left the ones that I love
Thought fame and fortune would be mine
You have to watch just what you look for
The path of ambition is often blind
I threw away everything I had
Twist of life so cruel
And the outcome is so sad
In the lifetime of a fool
Now I walk this acre of pain
On the stepping stones of my loss
There's no way to return
When you burn every bridge that you cross
Living In Babylon Lyrics By:Tara

Red Tape (1991), Live From the American Ballroom (2001)
First setlist 1/1/90
Two old people lying in a bed
One rolled over to the other and said
If we had ever stopped and looked around
We might have seen the earth shaking under our town
Two little babies lying in a bed
One rolled over to the other and said
Take this life you've got and live it well
Don't get caught living under the spell we are
Living in Babylon, Living in Babylon
Out of control you tumble and fall
Living in Babylon against the wall
Living in Babylon with nowhere to hide
With every step you wonder who you are
Who is this frightened boy alone in his car
Listen to the music coming out of its dash
Taking his tired brain to a place in the past
The light in your eyes like a sound in the dark
Leaves a trail of mystery with its own spark
Waiting for a moment to ease your stride
You are living in Baylon with nowhere to hide
Living in Babylon, Living in Babylon
Out of control you tumble and fall
Living in Babylon against the wall
Living in Babylon with nowhere to hide

You know all those conversations
All them funky ones we had before
Now they mean nothing to me
'Cause I'm here movin' on
Renewed spirit and a brave brave heart
I'll face the odds and conquer I shall
The future's all there is to me
'Cause I'm movin' on now
If getting drunk would help, drink up I would
But drinkin' don't seem to work like it used to
Sense of freshness is what we need
After all that we been through
I'm takin' with me everything that I've learned
And I ain't going anywhere anyhow
With a sense of cosmic reborn
I'm movin on now
You can look at all of our great friends
They're busy busy tied up in knots
Well you know that I'm just like them
Except this morning I've come untied
This morning freedom paid a visit
And lifted me from a funk ridden cloud
All is right on these two feet

Off to dreamland in grandma's dress
They watched us depart through the upstairs window
Across forever with a lover's curse
At the center of the universe
Arrived with dented fenders and golden rings
The weightlessness of fallen dreams
It's sure lovely, but we could never stay
We got too lost on the way
Chorus:
My thoughts return to love
Such a simple charm
My thoughts return to love
So sweet and warm
Hey there boy, what do you know
Hey there boy, what do you see
The rain is falling with the look of ghosts
Reminds me of something that used to be

Chorus:
Positive friction, under the upper crust
What does all this Hollywood really have to do with us
True grit, timeless love
There's no reason to pretend
Lets get together and become natural once again
Natural once again
There is a certain vibe, circulating in the air
Cast from all the energy that emanates from everywhere
Ah, such a lovely truth
Beginning to unfold
It's our brothers and sisters
All coming in from the cold...Natural once again
There's a family growing
I've seen it with my own two eyes
There's something that we're all knowing
I hope its spreading like a wild fire
Back to a place one might call home
We have our own heroes
They're dancing in the living room
We're busy, busy counting out from zero
Not one minute too soon
Back to a place one might call home Rockin' Horse Lyrics By:Jeb
Puryear Music By:Jeb Puryear Official Lyrics
Life's a Ride (2005)
Debut 7/5/03
From one floorboard to another floorboard
Talkin' about the table leg, the couch and the rockin' horse
The rug's telling the liquor shelf desert stories about being born
And all the radiators started singing along
Something happened on a routine trip across the room
Sparkle of sunlight ended it's long journey
By hitting a pan lid and splashing in your hair
It was beautiful of course, told the rocking horse
And the whole world became about just one thing
Chorus:
All the radiators sing
Things are being realized
Won't you step on over here
Something's perfecting in your eyes
Hope to find that you would be so inclined
As to allow me the honor dear of loving you
Let's shrink the world down to just us two
There's a slow conversation rolling in our house
Took four years for the first sentence
And six years to figure it out
But now I just take it as a point of pride
Having smiling faces waking by my side
All of failures invitations have been respectfully declined
But destiny's destination is still destined to unwind
Gratefulness is in order for an atmosphere I never could fully understand
A way to be more than I really am

Isn't this world getting harder to live in
Isn't this road getting harder to travel on down
It doesn't really matter
When it shatters the glass just falls
It's never made a difference
Now you've got your due reward
Isn't one voice getting harder to come by
Isn't one Love getting harder to imagine now at all
It doesn't really matter
When it tumbles the weed just rolls
It's never made a difference
Your lack of readiness is growing old
Chorus:
We keep running down the rock
Were running down the rock of ages
Isn't the truth getting harder to hide from
Isn't what's right getting harder to better ignore
It doesn't really matter
When it catches the fire just burns
It's never made a difference
You'd think somewhere you might have learned
Bridge:
You reap what you sow
You're making your bed
Believe what you see
And you get what you get
You hope all's not lost

The prospect of dying makin' life so strange
Just a worker bee workin' out on the range

Behold the dawn it's setting just beyond

Chorus:
But I've come busy doin' what I can
Furthering the world's gracious plan
Always at a loss when not applied
Furthering the world's gracious side
Little birdie, little birdie
Won't you sing to me your song
Such a short time to be here
Such a long time to be gone
But I've become attached to the things that I've seen
Mothers smile and the fields of green
The way the sun sets on the valley below
The way the things you love seem to come and go
Then disappear

The world was at our feet until
We stepped off of a wishing well
Looked to the future and it looked so bright
We just stood there on the edge of night
Learned our lesson and we learned it well
Love alone won't deliver us from hell
Looked to the future and it looked so bright
We just stood there on the edge of night
In a world that we don't understand
We couldn't count on each other
What do you expect when the world begins to tumble down
In my heart now the fire fades
Looking down the road in the opposite way
Looked to the future and it looked so bright
We just stood there on the edge of night
Ripple
Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice
come through the music? Would you hold it near, as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps
they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air (note 1)
Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup
be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of
man
There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That
path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
You
who choose to lead must follow But if you fall, you fall alone If you should stand, then who's to guide you? If I
knew the way, I would take you home
The Wheel
Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann
Chorus 1 The wheel is turning and you can't slow down You can't let go and you can't hold
on You can't go back and you can't stand still If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
Chorus
2 Won't you try just a little bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more Won't you try just a little
bit harder Couldn't you try just a little bit more
Round, round, Robin run around Gotta get back where you belong Little
bit harder, just a little bit more Little bit further than you gone before
[chorus 1]
Small wheel
turning by the fire and rod Big wheel turning by the grace of God Every time that wheel turn round Bound to cover
just a little more ground
Uncle John's Band
Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Jerry Garcia
Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more 'Cause when life looks like easy street,
there is danger at your door Think this through with me, let me know your mind Wo-oh, what I want to know is, are you
kind?
It's a buck dancer's choice my friend, better take my advice You know all the rules by now, and the fire from
the ice Will you come with me, won't you come with me? Wo-oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?
God
damn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannon balls Their motto is "don't" tread on
me"
Chorus 1 Come hear Uncle John's Band, playing to the tide Come with me or go alone He's
come to take his children home
It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows Like the morning
sun you come and like the wind you go Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait Wo-oh, what I want to know, where does
the time go?
I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune Anybody's
choice, I can hear your voice Wo-oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?
Chorus 2 Come hear
Uncle John's Band, by the river side Got some things to talk about Here beside the rising tide
[chorus 1]
Wo-oh
what I want to know, how does the song go?

Dark Star
Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: Garcia, Hart, Kreutzmann, Lesh, McKernan, Weir
Dark star crashes (note a) Pouring its light into ashes Reason tatters The forces tear loose from the axis Searchlight casting For faults
in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds
Mirror
shatters In formless reflections of matter Glass hand dissolving To ice petal flowers revolving Lady in velvet Recedes
in the nights of goodbye
Shall we go, you and I, while we can Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

I will stroll the merry way And jump the hedges first And drink the clear Clean waterfall to quench
my thirst And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high
On a bluer ocean Against tomorrow's sky And
I will never grow so old again. And I will walk and talk In garden's all wet with rain.
Oh sweet thing, sweet
thing Oh my, my, my sweet thing. And I shall drive my chariot down you streets and cry 'hey its me, I'm dynamite
and I don't know why'.
And you shall take me strongly in your arms again. An! d I will not remember that I ever
felt the pain. We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain. And I will never, never, never grow so
old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing. My, my, my, my, my sweet thing. And I will raise my hand up into
the night cloud's sky. And count the stars shining in your eye. Just to dig it all an' not to wonder that's just fine. And
I wil be satisfied Not to read in between the lines. And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain. And
I will never ever, ever grow so old again. Oh sweet thing. Oh sugar baby Sugar baby, sugar baby, sugar baby. With
your champagne eyes And your saint-like smile. Artist: Van Morrison Song: Madame george Album: Astral Weeks [" Astral Weeks " CD]
Down on Cyprus Avenue With a childlike vision leaping into view Clicking, clacking of the high heeled
shoe Ford & Fitzroy, Madame George Marching with the soldier boy behind He's much older with hat on drinking
wine And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through The cool night air like Shalimar And outside they're
making all the stops The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops Happy
taken Madame George That's when you fall Whoa, that's when you fall Yeah, ! that's when you fall When you fall
into a trance A sitting on a sofa playing games of chance With your folded arms and history books you glance Into
the eyes of Madame George And you think you found the bag You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag In the
corner playing dominoes in drag The one and only Madame George And then from outside the frosty window raps She jumps
up and says Lord have mercy I think it's the cops And immediately drops everything she gots Down into the street below And
you know you gotta go On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row Throwing pennies at the bridges down below And the
rain, hail, sleet, and snow Say goodbye to Madame George Dry your eye for Madame George Wonder why for Madame George And
as you leave, the room is filled with music, laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room And all the little
boys come around, walking away from it all So cold And as y! ou're about to leave She jumps up and says Hey love,
you forgot you r gloves And the gloves to love to love the gloves... To say goodbye to Madame George Dry your eye
for Madame George Wonder why for Madame George Dry your eyes for Madame George Say goodbye in the wind and the rain
on the back street In the backstreet, in the back street Say goodbye to Madame George In the backstreet, in the
back street, in the back street Down home, down home in the back street Gotta go Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Dry
your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye... Say goodbye to Madame George And the loves to love to love the love Say
goodbye Oooooo Mmmmmmm Say goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye to Madame George Dry your eye for Madame George Wonder
why for Madame George The love's to love the love's to love the love's to love... Say goodbye, goodbye Get on the
train Get on the train, the train, the train... This is the train, this is the train... Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye.!

Van Morrison Song: Cyprus avenue Album: Astral Weeks [" Astral Weeks " CD]
And I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue And I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue And
I'm conquered in a car seat Not a thing that I can do I may go crazy Before that mansion on the hill I may go
crazy Before that mansion on the hill But my heart keeps beating faster And my feet can't keep still And all the
little girls rhyme something On the way back home from school And all the little girls rhyme something On the way
back home from school And the leaves fall one by one by one by one Call the ! autumn time a fool Yeah baby my tongue
gets tied Every every every time I try to speak My tongue gets tied Every time I try to speak And my inside shakes
just like a leaf on a tree I think I'll go on by the river with my cherry cherry wine I believe I'll go walking by the
railroad with my cherry cherry wine If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine And wait a
minute, yonder comes my lady Rainbow ribbons in her hair Yonder comes my lady Rainbow ribbons in her hair Six
white horses and a carriage She's returning from the fair Baby, baby, baby And if I'm caught one more time Up
on Cyprus Avenue And if I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue And I'm conquered in a car seat And I'm looking
straight at you Way up on, way up on, way up on.... The avenue of trees Keep walking down In the wind and the
rain, darling You keep walking down when the sun shone through the treesNobody, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving
you baby So youn g and bold, fourteen years old Baby, baby, baby... Ooooh-ee Artist: Van Morrison Song: Into the mystic Album: Moondance [" Moondance " CD]
We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was one as we sailed into
the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have
to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will
flow into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home And w! hen that fog horn whistle blows
I got to hear it I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of
old And together we will flow into the mystic Come on girl...

Shammy [chamois] cleaning all the windows, Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul. And I hear blue strains

Meanwhile back in San Francisco We're trying
hard to make this whole thing blend, As we sit upon this jagged Storey block, with you my friend.
And it's a

Aryan mist Among the bridges You hang by the river You've been here forever Aryan mist
What
can the matter be In a world full of glamour Does it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm
You just
sit here And look from your carriage As you watch the scene go by
Gurus from the east Gurus from the west Does
it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm
Aryan mist Among the bridges You hang by the river You've
been here forever Aryan mist Aryan mist
There's so m! any people Going down by the river Down by the river To
get clean
The fog of illusion The fog of confusion Is hanging all over the world
Gurus from the east Gurus
from the west Does it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm

me of Krishna Love first sweet kiss Aryan mist

I walked in my greatcoat Down through the days of the leaves. No before after, yes after before We
were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame.
Didn't
I come to bring you a sense of wonder Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright Didn't I come to bring you a sense
of wonder in the flame.
On and on and on and on we kept singing our song Over Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and
the Ballystockart Road. With Boffyflow and Spike I ! said I could describe the leaves for Samuel and Felicity Rich,
red browney, half burnt orange and green.
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder Didn't I come to lift your
fiery vision bright Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame.
It's easy to describe the leaves
in the Autumn And it's oh so easy in the Spring But down through January and February it's a very different thing.
On
and on and on, through the winter of our discontent. When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too I
said I could describe the leaves for Samuel and what it means to you and me
You may call my love Sophia, but I call
my love Philosophy.
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision Didn't
I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame.

On hyndford street Album: Hymns To The Silence [" Hymns To The Silence " CD]
Take me back, take me way, way, way back On Hyndford Street Where you could feel the silence at half
past eleven On long summer nights As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg And the voices whispered across Beechie
River In the quietness as we sank into restful slumber in the silence And carried on dreaming, in God And walks up
Cherry Valley from North Road Bridge, railway line On sunny summer afternoons Picking apples from the side of the tracks That
spilled over from the gardens of the houses on C! yprus Avenue Watching the moth catcher working the floodlights in the
evenings And meeting down by the pylons Playing round Mrs. Kelly's lamp Going out to Holywood on the bus And walking
from the end of the lines to the seaside Stopping at Fusco's for ice cream In the days before rock 'n' roll Hyndford
Street, Abetta Parade Orangefield, St. Donard's Church Sunday six-bells, and in between the silence there was conversation And
laughter, and music and singing, and shivers up the back of the neck And tuning in to Luxembourg late at night And jazz
and blues records during the day Also Debussy on the third programme Early mornings when contemplation was best Going
up the Castlereagh hills And the cregagh glens in summer and coming back To Hyndford Street, feeling wondrous and lit
up inside With a sense of everlasting life And reading Mr. Jelly Roll and Big Bill Broonzy And "Really The Blues"
by "Mezz" Mezzrow And! "Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac Over and over again And voices ec hoing late at night over Beechie
River And it's always being now, and it's always being now It's always now Can you feel the silence? On Hyndford
Street where you could feel the silence At half past eleven on long summer nights As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg And
the voices whispered across Beechie River And in the quietness we sank into restful slumber in silence And carried on
dreaming in God.
Absolutely Sweet Marie Lyrics
by Bob Dylan
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just
can't jump it Sometimes it gets so hard, you see I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet With all these promises
you left for me But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick Yes, I waited
for you when you hated me Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic When you knew I had some other place to
be Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously But then, now again,
not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, six white horses that you did promise Were fin'lly delivered down
to the penitentiary But to live outside the law, you must be honest I know you always say that you agree But where
are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Well, I don't know how it happened But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate But
ev'rybody else, even yourself They're just gonna have to wait.
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets The Persian
drunkard, he follows me Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it You see, you forgot to leave me with
the key Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed That a man can't
give his address out to bad company And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad In the ruins of your balcony Wond'ring
where you are tonight, sweet Marie.
Jokerman Lyrics
by Bob Dylan
Standing on the waters casting your bread While the eyes
of the idol with the iron head are glowing. Distant ships sailing into the mist, You were born with a snake in both
of your fists while a hurricane was blowing. Freedom just around the corner for you But with the truth so far off,
what good will it do?
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high by the light of the moon, Oh, oh,
oh, Jokerman.
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky, You rise up and say goodbye to no one. Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread, Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one. Shedding off one more layer of skin, Keeping
one step ahead of the persecutor within.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high by the light of the
moon, Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds, Manipulator of crowds,
you're a dream twister. You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry
your sister. Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame, You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man
without any name.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high by the light of the moon, Oh, oh, oh,
Jokerman.
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers. In
the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed, Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features. Resting in the
fields, far from the turbulent space, Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.
Jokerman dance
to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high by the light of the moon, Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman.
Well, the rifleman's stalking
the sick and the lame, Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain. Nightsticks and water cannons,
tear gas, padlocks, Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain, False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they
spin, Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high
by the light of the moon, Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray, A woman just gave
birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat, Take
the motherless children off the street And place them at the feet of a harlot. Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants, Oh,
Jokerman, you don't show any response.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high by the light of the
moon, Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics
by Bob Dylan
Once upon a time you dressed so fine You
threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" You thought
they were all kiddin' you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out Now you don't talk so loud Now
you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel How does it feel To
be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss
Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street And
now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it You said you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now
you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And ask him do you want to make
a deal?
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like
a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns
