In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Di di di di, di di di di Di di di di, di di di di Di di di When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be and long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

Josie,I wont fail ya,
I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya, Give me one more chance to be as near. The meadows they are bursting the yellow corn is in your hands, and with the night comes sorrow as the tide of dawn slips on the land. The long breezes are blowing all down the sky into my face, Ive a worried kind of feelin that my time has come and gone to waste. I love you darling Josie, the trees of pine they grow so tall, how can you come to love me when you didnt love me at all. Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near. My Josie looks a child now as she lies beyond my breast, in the night I think about her in the day I get no rest. I cut me a young pine cone And gave it to the river deep, It sailed way by your window where you lay so long in sleep. God bless you darling Josie with your sparkling eyes so bright and clear, Josie,I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near. |

A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh A man that crossed over the line was for glory And he that was left better fly And over the line crossed 179 Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And remember the Alamo Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply Young Davy Crockett lay laughing and dying The blood and the sweat in his eyes For Texas and freedom no man was more willing to die Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And remember the Alamo A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd Fear not little darling of dying If this world be sovereign and free For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And remember the Alamo |

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears. He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen, Been a soldier for a thousand years. He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain, A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew. And he knows he shouldn't kill, And he knows he always will, Kill you for me my friend and me for you. And he's fighting for Canada, He's fighting for France, He's fighting for the USA, And he's fighting for the Russians, And he's fighting for Japan, And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way. And he's fighting for Democracy, He's fighting for the Reds, He says it's for the peace of all. He's the one who must decide, Who's to live and who's to die, And he never sees the writing on the wall. But without him, How would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone, He's the one who gives his body As a weapon of the war, And without him all this killing can't go on. He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame, His orders come from far away no more, They come from here and there and you and me, And brothers can't you see, This is not the way we put the end to war. Chords:- F,G7,C,Am Dm,Em |

I went up for my interview on the 4th day of July
The personnel man he questioned me, until I nearly cried Made me fill in forms, until I shook with fear About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousins queer Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chains And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane And if you've a son who wants a good career Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 20 years He asked me how many jobs id had before He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four Four jobs of 20 years or more, this can never be We only take on men, who work on until they die Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chains And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane And if you've a son who wants a good career Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 20 years He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line This is where we bury them, in quickstone and in lime And if you're going to work for us, this you must agree That if you're going to die, please do it during tea break Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chains And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane And if you've a son who wants a good career Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 20 years This story that you've hear, you may think rather queer But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear I did not want some job up on the board I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor |

From the album fairytale
We stood in the windy city, The gypsy boy and I. We slept on the breeze in the midnight With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. We huddled in a derelict building And when he thought I was asleep He laid his poor coat round my shoulder, And shivered there beside me in a heap. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. We sang and cracked the sky with laughter, Our breath turned to mist in the cold. Our years put together count to thirty, But our eyes told the dawn we were old. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done ? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky, Won't you look down what's happening here below? I stand here singing to the flowers, So very few people really know. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. We stood in the windy city The gypsy boy and I. We slept on the breeze in the midnight, With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done ? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. |

Cat's a-sleeping in the sun,
Eyes take heed the colours call. Sunlight patterns touch the wall, Red kerchiefs sail and fall, Cat's a sleeping in the sun. Dragon kite in the sky, Wheel and turns, spin and fly, Attacked by rooks and never fail To cry the sound of fairy tales. The cat is walkin' in the sun. All the pebbles I have seen, Precious stones for Colleen. Every minute I pass through With the grooves spent with you. The cat is yawning in the sun. Jewelled castles I have built With freak feelings of guilt. And the words stab to the hilt, Pick the flower and it will wilt, Cat's a-shifting in the sun. Marionette dangles death Insensitivity is fed. By the TV wizard's wand Once in the spell you're conned, Cat's a-smiling in the sun. Cat's a-smiling in the sun, Eyes take heed the colours call. Sunlight patterns touch the wall, Red kerchiefs sail and fall, Cat's a-smiling in to me. |

From the album catch the wind
The wine's just fine. You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone, You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone. Hmm, hmm, your eyes are black as midnight, Death comes trippin' and a-runnin', You gonna need somebody on your bond. You're gonna miss somebody when I'm gone, You're gonna miss somebody when I'm gone. Hmm, you're gonna wake up tryin', You're gonna wake up cryin', You're gonna miss somebody when I'm gone. I don't just see-ee the rising sun, I don't just see-ee the rising sun. An' I'm gonna wake up in the mornin' My eyes all stargazed. You're gonna need somebody one of these days. You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone, You're gonna need somebody when I'm gone. Well, you wake up in the mornin', An' death comes trippin' and a-runnin', You gonna need somebody when I'm gone. |

Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing
And the leaves dance and play after you Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower Take care with my heart, oh darling, she's made of glass Your eyes feel like silence resting on me And the birds cease to sing when you rise Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted Take care how you ride, my precious, you might fall down In the pastel skies a sunset I have wandered With my eyes and ears and heart stRained to the full I know I tasted the essence in the few days Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know |
