One day a funny kind of man
Came walking down this street He wore a shoe upon his head And hats upon his feet, He raised the shoe and smiled at me His manners were polite But never had I seen before such a funny sounding sight He said : ≪A Allow me to present Your highness with a roseA ≫ An taking out a current bun He held it ti his nose Staggered back against the wall And the I answered : ≪A well, I never saw a rose with such A funny looking smellA ≫. He the began to sing a song Mmmmmm......................... and sat down on the ground You never heard in all yollur life Such a funny feeling sound ≪A My friend, why do you wear 2 hats upon your feet?A ≫ I said He turned the other way about And hopped on his head. (Poem by NATALIE JOAN a" Music by DONOVAN LEITCH) Guitar : F-C F-C Em/b F-C Em/B-D7-G G7-C F-C F-C Em/B-D7-C |

Sunny day while away the afternoon Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink >From the river drink. Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small Hover over river. Diving, writhing, gnattring chiff chaff chattering Woodpecker staggering hammering Exaggerating off his find. Do da do Sunny day while away the afternoon Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink >From the river drink. Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small Hover over river |

from Donovan - 7-tease (2006)
On a lone and windy hilltop beneath a roof of tin
In a little wallpapered bedroom I done my growin'. 'Twas there I dreamt my dreams, I hung my jeans And wandered through my puberty as all do. My mother was a tight nut bound up with false guilt Strapped up in her fearing wall she had built. The independent girl in a dark and cruel world She'd lost the way to say, ""OK, now lay back"". We disagreed on most things, I shouted peace and love The family is mankind, the symbol of the dove. She only saw the surface of things before her face But I was young and argued on for hours. My father he liked poetry, a scholar he might have made. Had nothing, born a poor boy barefoot and underpaid So the man worked with his hands up and down the land, His dreams forgot he thought that I must follow. With his marks as worker's wisdom he'd read a thing or two He once had been a Mason but he never followed through. Always kind and thoughtful, smelling of mushy oil And he read me poetry of visionaries. I flunk my way to college, a looser kind of school But we bobbed and played time arty, feeling cool Just to live an artists diggin' the ravin' scene Reading Kerouac and Ginsberg well deuced. I was not academic, Art and English neat, The history of mankind I liked that a bit. And what was I to do ? The choices they were few, I done right disgrace to the working classes I done right disgrace to the working classes I done right disgrace to the working classes I done right disgrace to the working classes. |

As I recall it, the sun was high, Yellow in the blue, blue sky. You couldn't quite make out this boy, He used life as a toy. In a Marie-Antoinette room We were introduced soon, I was me and you were you, How do you do ? Raggedy and tousle-haired He looked as though he never cared To run a comb where a comb should run, Freckles from the sun. Many good times we have had, We been happy, we been sad, But I think we both feel glad That this life is so mad, mad, mad. As I recall it, the sun was high, If I remember, the sun was high, You couldn't quite make out this boy, He used life as a toy. Many good times we have had, We been happy, baby, we been sad, But I think we both feel glad That this life is so mad. As I recall it, the sun was high, Yellow in the blue, blue sky, You couldn't quite make out this boy, He used life as a toy. Yeah |

Domes upon the Desert
Shimmering through the haze Sunset in the Desert Listening to the crickets as they phaze Lights move through the heavens Colours glowing by See the Astral Angels Riding silver stallions in the sky Astral Angel You're no earthly bird I can tell Astral Angel I would be your friend if you fell Astral Angel Dancing through the dreamtime You harmonise with the song Fading through the dreamtime Teach me how to dance and sing along Astral Angel You're no earthly bird I can tell Astral Angel I would be your friend if you fell Astral Angel Astral Angel You're no earthly bird I can tell Astral Angel I would be your friend if you fell Astral Angel |

The continent of Atlantis
was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean So great an area of land that from her western shores those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease in their ships with painted sails To the East Africa was a neighbour across a short strait of sea miles The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis Knowing her fate Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth On board were the Twelve The poet the physician the farmer the scientist The magician and the other so called Gods of our legends Though Gods they were And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be My antediluvian baby I wanna see you some day My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be My antediluvian baby I love you girl Girl I wanna see you some day My antediluvian baby oh yeah I wanna see you some day My antediluvian baby Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be My antediluvian baby I wanna see you My antediluvian baby you gotta tell me where she gone I wanna see you some day Wake up wake up wake up wake up Oh glub glub down down yeah |

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. So great an area of land, That from her western shores Those beautiful sailors journeyed To the South and the North Americas with ease, In their ships with painted sails. To the East Africa was a neighbour, Across a short strait of sea miles. The great Egyptian age is But a remnant of The Atlantian culture. The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis. Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth. On board were the Twelve: The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist, The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends. Though Gods they were - And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice And let us sing And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be, Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be, Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.

From the album fairytale
Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. Your thoughts they are of harlequin, your speeches of quicksilver, I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. On the quilted battlefields of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin The big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead just so to win. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negroes Thinking not of beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow. Seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. I pray your dreams of vivid screams of children dying slowly And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflecting. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with your blackest Queen Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream. For seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie. |

Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
With hair coal black as a raven. I travelled my life without a care, Ah, but all my love I was savin'. Oh, the winds blew high and the trees did sway, Not much from life was I askin'. Till I met someone to give all my love, All my love, so long an' lasting. Oh, good were the parts we played in our game And a long ways off was tomorrow. But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea, And in the tide came sorrow. Oh, a child of the night is goin' to be born, I can't explain my confusion. Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'? I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room, My friends they're smokin' and a-talkin'. But it all seems so empty, my love is not there, So I'll go into the streets a-walkin'. My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must, If I were to lose it, it would grieve me. My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do. Oh, how I yearn to help him. Oh, we could go to the land of your choice Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door. I've a feeling in my heart and it's crushing all my hopes, I think I'm gonna be hurt some more, Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine, With hair coal black as a raven. I travelled my life without a care, Ah, but all my love I was savin'. |

She came, she came to meet a man,
she found an angel. Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now. She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower. Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her. Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned. In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle. The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind Sorrow more distant than a star. Multi colour run down over your body, Then the liquid passing all into all Love is hot truth is molten. True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked. He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang Goo goo, Barabajagal was my name now, |

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. |

And the sun blazed madly insane, But the seagulls, they have gone, The seagulls, they have gone. |

Been a-lookin' for a good girl,
But it's taking time. A-been a-lookin' for a good girl, A-one to please my mind as well as my time. I've been singing in the evening, Flying through the night. But I hurt my good gal, I hope she makes out right, Flying through the night. I've been picking up the sunshine, I've been drinking down the rain, girl, I've been picking up the sunshine, it makes me think on when I'll see you again. You know time could bring a change, girl, It ain't for me to say. You'll soon be out of range, girl, A-this could only be the way it's meant to be. Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight, The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion Seagull flies across my eyes forever. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. Would I, should I, could I be a stranger, I shall walk right by and sigh goodbye. Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. I've been lookin', oh yeah, I say I've been lookin' far a good girl, You better believe it, baby, yeah! Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, oh yeah! Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, Ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you Yeah, I've been a-lookin |

Kiss me sweet lover
And linger long in ecstasy. Mingle our fluids, Flirt let me flame thee. Come into my parlour, Come sit but a droplet Of my secret rain. 'Cause I'm the black widow, woe, I'm the black widow, woe, And I eat my love And I eat my love And I eat my love And I eat my love. I offer my pleasure But never my love, You may need me forever But I don't need your love. If you try to repel me Your body will howl. I set your spirit free, You can depend on me. 'Cause I'm the black widow, woe, I'm the black widow, woe, And I eat my love And I eat my love And I eat my love And I eat my love. |

From the album love is only feeling
She came with her blue jeans on Wanting to star in a song. Get you with your ins and outs of it, You're coming on strong, so strong I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna make love to you. She lifted my spirits high, I noticed the dream in her eye. Softly I entered her garden Parting her veil with a sigh. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm going to give my love to you. I tidied up my last affair, I lost so much I don't care Felt like a fool in a foolery, But I'm well on my way to repair. I know you ain't no hanger on, Baby, you can star in a song. I took a look inside her head, I saw a Victorian bed. I took her to the fair green country, I'm so weary of the life I've led I'll tell you what we're gonna do, We're gonna live and love so true. |

For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. Take off those clothes, They're strangling you, Let out your human song. Take off those clothes, They're suffocating me, My body wants to sing along. My body wants to sing! For every up there is a down, For every smile there is a sad frown. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. Shake off those thoughts, They're strangling you, Let out your human song. Shake off those thoughts, They're suffocating me, My body wants to sing along. To lie at rest upon your bosom, Tongue still taste thy maiden musk. To lie within your woman's warm Upon your rising falling form. Rising falling form Rising falling form Rising falling form For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. Rising falling form Rising falling form Rising falling form Rising falling form For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world.

Leitch
Can ye dance with silver moonsteps on the love couch of the sand ? I will sing and play a fairy reel upon a swany lute A tale of silver sandals or an elf who loved to fish For the twinkles in the evening waves with an oaken dish. As ye skip and spin and reel, can ye loose thy velvet band ? And send thy mane a-tossing to the kissing of the moon ? And as ye bid me enter, thine eyes will open love To the allness of the smallness and the starry sky above. Oh pa ti to cum dee ... As ye skip and spin and reel, can ye loose thy velvet band ?

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try The changes I'm going through ? A hidden lie would fortify Something that don't exist But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad, So many more things to do, I intend to come right through them all with you. My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind We talk a while by a crooked stile, You're lucky to catch a few. There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand, It's a pleasure to be true. In my crystal halls a feather falls Being beautiful just for you But that might not be quite true, that's up to you. Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake A strange young girl sang her songs for me And left 'fore the day was born. That dark princess with saddening jest She lowered her eyes of woe, And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try The changes she's going through But I hope love comes right through them all with you |

Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake A strange young girl sang her songs for me And left 'fore the day was born. That dark princess with saddening jest She lowered her eyes of woe, And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try The changes she's going through But I hope love comes right through them all with you. |

Should you wander this land to the North, And few seldom do, Should you follow the song of the gull To enchanted western isles, Coax a fisherman to take you out Where the silky seals are seen, Hear the stories that they tell about The maiden who is their queen, The maiden who is their queen. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" Seal hunters are not brave and bold, They murder her poor wee seals And cut off their skins to be sold, Cursed be he who deals. There's no reason for this slaughtering, They're left on the rocks to bleed He's not a man who does this thing, It's a cruel and a heartless deed, A cruel and a-heartless deed. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" |

Ye sons of Britain
Who once were free Ye now are slaves to factory Those who walk the path of mole Expect in time to kill thy soul look *Down in the wood in the murky gloom Trolls go marching two by two Down through the cave and the mouth of doom Down, down, down in the gloom, gloom,gloom Hey kala ho kala ho la jai but look *Who should come by the mountain way Young Finn Hanley A lute he play Clothed in scarlet livery All wide eyed in the bright noon day Tiree tiraloo tiraloo i ay Creative intelligence has been crushed by industrial uniformity? |

Everyone is right
Everything is wrong Don't let the changes get you down, man 'Cos everyone is wrong Everything is all right now Don't let the changes get you uptight. Butter my toast, and I'll go Button up a coat, and let's go Off to the coast we must go Don't wanna boast, but I'll grow much better there Don't let the changes get you down man Vietnam, Biafra The obsurdity of greed How much can one man possibly need? Sickness and disease And ignorance on every side Don't let the changes get you tight. Button your toast and let's go Button a coat and I'm gonna go Off to the coast we must go Don't wanna boast, but I'll grow much better there Don't let the changes get you down man. |

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. |

God is playing marbles
With his planets and his stars Creating havoc through my life Through his influence on Mars That's why I'm stumbling down the highway On my boots of steel I should be rolling down the skyway On my cosmic wheels In the present position of the planets It's impossible for me to say Just when I'll find my course again With these boulders in my way I should be rolling down the skyway On my cosmic wheels Instead of stumbling down this highway On my boots of steel I should be rolling down the skyway On my cosmic wheels |

Food in abundance, beggars and banks,
God in His Heaven and His priests in tanks. Gold in the misery, sewer in the mind, Greed and corruption of every kind. They all know it's a cryin' shame To turn your head, look away again. They all know it's a cryin' shame To turn your head, look away again. They all know it's a cryin' shame To turn their heads, look away again. Fools in the Parliament, pollution in the stream, T.V., poverty and the big bad dream. Sex in the cinema, fear in the school, Censorship committees, they rule/we're cool. Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame To turn your heads, look away again. Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame To turn your heads, look away again. Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame To turn their heads, look away again. Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame To turn your heads, look away again. Composure in the little pill, courage in the beer, Mummy and daddy and the life of fear. Human relationships cast away, I hope we get together one of these days. And they all know it's a cryin' shame To turn their heads, look away again. Don't they all know it's a cryin' shame To turn their heads, look away again. |

Lady, you are my peace of mind
Were I to seek your par none I could find You delicately went to curry land And left a lonely man, ah me, yogi blue He thought to himself as he sat before His stocks and shares a dreadful bore If I'm to live another happy day I best make haste and be on my way He at his desk did write and indicate To lawyer, friend and intimate His lamentable grief did necessitate The need for one swift bird to sail the ocean o'er A sailing schooner was soon seen sailing, Swift and silent, around the sound Salutating seagulls heralding The wonderous transport upon the wing Twenty days from Goa they did espire A wealthy merchant bound for Arabi-iy Echanging greetings, had he heard the news The Lady Hall had drowned, the price of Ninevah rose Storms and tempests his shatterd mind beset Hurricanes of pains raged and tore Truly drowned in grief, he did repair To haunted trinkets and gross despair All in white 'neath shade in bamboo chair Military discipline has replaced despair Anchored in the bay of innocence Is left a lonely man, lonely through and through Through and through Through and through |

I bought you lace and velvet, And Victoriana trinket, Dressed you up in Art Nouveau When nobody else kink it.

Make a song, song maker
Sing of love, sweet love. Do not make it a shaker, Make it move from above. Sing it strong and gentle, Sing it sweet and low. Let the words be simple So that all may know The dignity of man, Sing of the dignity of man, Sing of the dignity of man. Sing of proud black brother, Sing of pale-faced son. Sing of the joys of a mother, She's the mother of everyone. You got red blood rivers Rushing through your veins. You got hearts that quiver Full of love's sweet pain. Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man. Make a dream, dream weaver, Full of hope and praise. Sing of the joyful, Sing of the joyful sadness Of this human play. Oh, gather all men's wishes, Show them to be one. Sing of God's great glory For the humbled hearted one. Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man... |

Seek ye the mystery through all this energy
To set your soul bird free from deathless delight. There are so many ways, forms upon which to gaze, Live in a divine daze of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. There may be so many, many pains, Till of old the golden goal you gain. Out on the lonely road you began long ago, No other way to show deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. Deathless delight Deathless delight Deathless delight. I have had some tingles in my time, Never dreaming them to be a sign, be a sign. Out on the lonely road living a warrior's code, Everywhere thine abode of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight |

Do not go gentle into that good night Old age should burn and rave at close of day Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right Because their words had forked no lightning They do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears I pray, do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light The dying of the light. |
