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. |

From the album fairytale
Circus of Sour, Holds shows every hour, The lion is eating the bars, hey the bars. I was erected, The poor man is expected To climb to the stars Balanced just on one knee. Look out your window and see, Look out your window and see. The clown chases spotlights, The bear faces hot lights Pelted with peanuts and coke, hey the coke. And high in the tent-top The lady just went up To hang by a rope >From her teeth gracefully. Look out your window and see, Look out your window and see. Ba ba ba bom bom bom? da da da Admission is paid up Until you are laid up, There's only one catch to the fun, hey the fun. To hell if you're willin', Your name's on the billing And it seems that you're wanted In ring number three. Look out your window and see, I look out my window and see, I look out my window and see, coa coa. |

From the album fairytale
As a pilgrim I did go To a land that I did know, To the shores of Trist la Cal, To see if I still felt The same. And the sun blazed madly insane, But the seagulls they have gone, The seagulls they have gone. I searched the sand for sound, My eyes forced to the ground. The wind it laughed wild and shrill, My heart it tried to spill Its crazy tears. There is nothing left for me now For the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. I stand both young and old But the winds of time blow cold. This much you must believe: It pains to see you grieve. I pity you, But there is nothing that I can do For the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. As a pilgrim I did go To a land that I did know, To the shores of Trist la Cal, To see if I still felt The same. And the sun blazed madly insane, But the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. |

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 |

Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan. Went out to fight the good fight in South Vietnam, Went out to fight for peace, liberty and all, Went out to fight for equality, hope, let's go, And the war drags on. Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones, Millions without faces, without hope and without homes. And the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones That the flesh had long since left just as the people left their homes, And the war drags on. They're just there to try and make the people free, But the way that they're doing it, it don't seem like that to me. Just more blood-letting and misery and tears That this poor country's known for the last twenty years, And the war drags on. Last night poor Dan had a nightmare it seems. One kept occurring and re-occurring in his dream: Cities full of people burn and scream and shoutin' loud And right over head a great orange mushroom cloud. And there's no more war, for there's no more world, And the tears come streaming down. Yes, I lie crying on the ground. |

Freedom fighters, speak with your tongues Sing with the might of the wind in your lungs Do you hear me now ? Do you hear me now ? Peace loving women, single or wed Give thanks for the mercy of a child with one head Do you hear me now ? Do you hear me now ? My mama told me, papa said it too Son, the world's divided and you know your cause is through Do you hear me now ? Do you hear me now ? There's snow-men in the winter, blossoms in the spring If they drop the bomb in the summertime, it won't mean a doggone thing Do you hear me now ? Do you hear me now ? Freedom fighters, speak with your tongues Sing with the might of the wind in your lungs Do you hear me now ? Do you hear me now ? |

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 |
