How come when I got the ace of hearts
Ya always draw the ace of spades How's it when your best friend Brings you lillies on your birthday Hey how come, hey how come Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see How come, how come I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me How come when your local clergy calls He tells me that you shouldn't wear black What kind of bread are you gonna' bake With that hemlock in your spice rack Hey how come, hey how come Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see How come, how come I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me The spider's run, the cobwebs gone Did you eat it when the moon was new I drowned your cat, what do you say about that I've even broken up your broom How come, how come Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see How come, how come I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me Well how come, how come Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see How come, how come I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me |

My girl could break my heart
And tear my soul apart, but I Couldn't see myself living in a world Without her She's a tear, she's a scream Takes me high, but my worst dream Could I survive living in a world Without her As my mother said open the door I didn't want to be that boy All my friends told me I'd pull through But all that's said and all that's done Won't persuade me that I'm wrong I know I'd die living in a world Without her All my hopes and all my dreams Rest with her, or so it seems I never want to see the world Without her She's a saint, she's a clown Picks me up when I'm down There'd be so much missing from the world Without her Tangled up in falling vines She took my hand, I know she's mine Pickin' up the pieces of the past Well, I awoke before the dawn Dreamed we'd fought and she had gone Now I know how it feels Without her An empty club, when we first met Sharing our last cigarette How could I have lived in a world Without her The sweetest girl I ever had She's the best, she must be mad There's no way I would live in a world Without her We walked four miles to get back home Through the crowds we walked alone She told me all about her last stand The sun came up and lit the scene She looked so fine, so I see There's no way I'm living in a world Without her |

Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin' Like the stillness in the wind 'Fore the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking Then the tide will sound And the wind will pound And the morning will be breaking Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls they'll be smiling And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in And the words that are used For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they're spoken For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean A song will lift As the mainsail shifts And the boat that drifts on to the shore line And the sun will respect Every face on the deck The hour that the ship comes in Then the sands will roll Out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a touchin' And the ship's wise men Will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin' Oh the foes will rise With the sleep still in their eyes And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're still dreamin' But they'll pinch themselves and squeel And know that it's for real The hour that the ship comes in Then they'll raise their hands Sayin' we'll meet all your demands But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered And like Pharaoh's tribe They'll be drownded in the tide And like Goliath they'll be conquered |

The dawn shines her light
To scare off the night And the sun from his slumber is woken The bells are ringing out As the town crier shouts Words too strong to be spoken There's a rumble in the ground And the air fills with sound Trumpets in the wind are a' blowing The townsfolk peep Through the curtains of sleep To the sound of the cocks all a' crowin The winds may blow Come rain, come slow Today's for you and me I gave my heart to you my love You gave your heart to me The sun wears a smile And the clock winks its dial The clouds in the sky are unfolding The birds on the wing Like angels they sing The heavens are glowing all golden The crowds all spill out They cheer and they shout Banners and flags are a' waving The flowers all a' bloom Blow kisses to the moon As blossom falls on the paving The wind may blow Come rain, come snow Today's for you and me I gave my heart to you my love You gave your heart to me The whole world roars A chorus of applause Strangers from Delhi to Dublin Are swept off their feet As they kiss on the street And the waters like champaigne are bubbling The wind may blow Come rain, come snow Today's for you and me I gave my heart to you my love You gave your heart to me |

The bright lights are calling me
The bright lights are calling me When the world is dark and cold And I'm heading down the road The bright lights are calling me As the world is round, the road is long I've trouble on my mind I'll just keep on moving Until the day comes round The wind a' blowing on my back And my feet a' flying Flying down the road Where the bright lights shine Monday's in a pigtown Tuesday's in a truck Wednesday's a field of mud And Thursday's out of luck Friday's rain clouds Saturday flies by Sunday comes shining From a blue blue sky The bright lights are calling me The bright lights are calling me When the world is dark and cold And I'm heading down the road The bright lights are calling me Some towns are golden Some towns are stained Some towns are shadows Fading in the rain Some towns are rust And some towns they gleam Some towns are mad dogs Some towns are a dream The bright lights are calling me The bright lights are calling me When the world is dark and cold And I'm heading down the road The bright lights are calling me Some dreams are hollow Some dreams are cold Some dreams are crazy And some dreams are bold Some dreams are bought And other dreams are sold Some dreams lie waiting At the end of the road The bright lights are calling me The bright lights are calling me When the world is dark and cold And I'm heading down the road The bright lights are calling me |

The night stank of diesel
And a stranger came to town A cold wind blowing And the rain pouring down Street lights flicker And the power lines moan The moon beat down On a river of bone Someone put the lights out No one make a sound You won't find a thing Down in Oretown Foundry spits fire and smoke Air's foul and choking Sky full of sulphur Mountains flat and broken Black fogs and whirlwinds Thunder and rain Open drink madness And purple mad pain The circus is over Exit the clowns Nobody's laughing Down in Oretown The ship's in the harbour Cargo's been pawned Barrooms spilling sailors All shipwrecked at dawn Smelling of salt and rust Uniforms torn Came looking for flowers Only found thorns Dreaming of mermaids In pearly white gowns tain is sleeping Down in Oretown There's a madman down on mainstreet Eyes all aflame Laughing in the thunder Of the Number 9 train Selling old postcards in rusty frames A thousand views of Oretown And they all look the same Dressed up in sandals And a barbed wire crown A lot of people loose their minds Down in Oretown Lock up the lawman Let go the thief Rounding up the grey men Nail them to a tree This town was a palace This town was aglow Then the sky burned orange And the iron river flowed The night stank of diesel A stranger came to town The night folded over Down in Oretown |

Below the Pont Mirabeau
Slow flows the Seine And all out loves together Must I recall again Joy would always follow After pain Hands holding hands Let us stand face to face While underneath the bridge Of our arms entwined slow race Eternal gazes flowing At wave's pace Let night fall, let the hours go by The days pass on and here I stand Love runs away Like running water flows Love flows away But oh how slow life goes How violent is hope Love only knows Let night fall, let the hours go by The days pass on and her stand I The days flow ever on The weeks pass by in vain Time never will return Nor our loves burn again Below the Pont Mirabeau Slow flows the Seine Let night fall, let the hours go by The days pass on and here I stand [In French:] Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine Et nos amours Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne La joie venait toujours apres la peine Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure Les mains dans les mains restons face a face Tandis que sous Le pont de nos bras passe Des eternels regards l'onde si lasse Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure L'amour s'en va comme cette eau courante L'amour s'en va Comme la vie est lente Et comme l'Esperance est violente Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont je demeure Passent les jours et passent les semaines Ni temps passe Ni les amours reviennent Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure Les jours s'en vont |

Tosspint rises early
Sprung from a nightmare's claw Thrice crows the dawn cock The mist is on the moor Tosspint cries from croaking gills Thank God I'm not forsaken From the hellish depths of sleep At last I am awaken Tosspint flushed his kidneys And rained a golden shower Pleased to piss a good pot full He shat upon the hour Tosspint filled his belly With tripe and ox's tongue A sucking pig stuffed with figs Into his guts he flung Full belly and the dance is merry Where hunger reigns no strength obtains The wheel spins, the gurdy hums Ring the bells and beat the drum Tosspint drinks lustily And pees against the sun All around the hoary oak The laughing maidens run Tosspint warms his codpiece To the flour adds the yeast In the field by Tanner's Mill He plays to two-backed beast Twist the spigot, close the hole Stoke the fire and blow the coal The wheel spins, the gurdy hums Ring the bells and beat the drum Full belly and the dance is merry Where hunger reigns no strength obtains The wheel spins, the gurdy hums Ring the bells and beat the drum Tosspint fell foul of dogma And slipped into schism The trial was quick, the sky grew dark They led him from the prison Tied him to a stake of oak Lit a fire of wood and coke The crowd sang out "His bacon's smoked!" The bells rang out "Tosspint's croaked!" Tosspint under flaming sky Walks through the fires of Hell Where bestial demons threw the damned Screaming as they fell Into pits of burning coals Tosspint throws up his last bowl And mingled with the soup His soul Tosspint rises early Sprung fro |

4 O'Clock in the morning
When the ambulance arrived 4 O'Clock in the morning When the ambulance arrived The blue lights were flashing As they lay my baby down inside They took her to the hospital In the darkest hour of the night They took her to the hospital In the darkest hour of the night It was silent as the grave As my baby lay beneath the light They turned on the gas and cut her open She didn't feel no pain They turned on the gas and cut her open She didn't feel no more pain Daylight was breaking And down came the rain Down came the rain Down came the rain Down came the rain Down came the rain |

Sometimes I wonder who's making love to you now
Now that it's been so long Yes sometimes I wonder who's making love to you now Now that it's been so long Well I don't know where or when you found out Where that love's been gone Remember that winter we went walking in the snow Now it's been and gone Yes, I remember the winter we went walking in the snow Snow that's been and gone And right across the country still I've got to go Wherever that love's been gone But any old way there's a smile on my face There's a smile that I just can't hide Though I'm missing you now like I never knew how I couldn't forget you if I tried Don't it make you wonder, but I wouldn't worry no more Standing by the side of the road Oh don't it make you wonder, but I wouldn't worry no more Just standing by the side of the road Into the night you just pick up and go You'll see where the love's been gone But any old way there's a smile on my face Ther's a smile that I just couldn't hide Thoush I'm missing you now like I never knew how I couldn't forget you if I tried I couldn't forget you I couldn't forget you I couldn't forget you if I tried I couldn't forget you I couldn't forget you I couldn't forget you if I tried |

The snakes they can crawl
And the cheetahs they can bawl And their ghosts can wait for the hereafter But if you are so proud As to say that's not allowed We will get sick and choke ourselves with laughter And the girlfriends that you knew To whom you promised to be true We'll have their sisters Hanging from the rafters And every dirty shade will rise rotting from the grave Tomorrow will be just like the day after And this bitter desert wind Will come ripping through your skin And everything that's calm will turn to madness And all of your fake tears Will come whirling down the years And what was kind and warm will come to sadness And the sun and the moon Will come begging at your door The stars will turn to rust And drop from the skies And everybody will soon be asking you for more And everybody will be telling lies And the girlfriends that you knew To whom you promised to be true We'll have their sisters Hanging from the rafters And every dirty shade will rise rotting from the grave Tomorrow will be just like the day after |
