Hey man, I like your beard
And I like the way you serve that beer I like the way your daughter smiles at me Hey mister, could I have just one more beer I got two big balls A cap and a bat And I play with them all the time I got a million things I'd rather do If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine Yea, this is the place where I live And the place where I love Hey mamselle, fill me up baby I like the way you give me gas Tell me Who is the man with the double-barrelled gun? (My daddy) I think I better move on fast I got a big black car A dog and a cat And I play with them all of the time I got a million things I'd rather do If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine If only you say you'll stay mine Yea, this is the place where I live And the place where I love The way the old church spire stabs the clouds And when the old folks say I'll have another drink to see me Through the day, thank you J.J. Yea, this is the place where I live And the place where I love Hey, Mrs. be |

Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war So he strapped himself in and he took his chances Into the valley of the bird, absurd I don't remember what it was the old man said I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances And had a flight for the brother who can't be Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly We decided one for all and all for one And when I do, I really want to go in style So without a sense of reason we explored Like throwing stones into the great unknown Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly |

Too many teardrops falling make a final blow
Over the years for love are there any left for now Just when I need some soothing water None of my tears are left around Night and day they take so long Tears would was the hurting away CHORUS Too many teardrops Too many teardrops Too many teardrops make a lake where a man can drown Too many teardrops find their way onto the ground Just when I thought the sun was shining Need some more tears there's none around Night and day they take so long Tears would wash the huring away But they're gone, from now on But they're gone, from now on CHORUS |

Predestination, not a thing that you'd plan
Misunderstanding, or a line in the sand Thunder & lightning, did God have a hand Wasn't it frightening, wasn't it sad Would it have mattered, it the timing was bad Something surprising, or nothing so sad A night at the Wiskey, or was I just mad Was it intended, why was I so glad Was it so lovely, did it seem real Was there a purpose, I just can't tell you It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light Something is a happening, nothing ain't right I've been a waiting, a waiting all night Is it on purpose, who know if you might I'm biting my nails, right through to the bone I seem to be dripping my blood on the phone It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light If I could tell you I might as well If it was heard, the honest word But you should know, like no one knows The words, just can't be heard Now it don't matter, it's too late to care It's something you'd saviour, leave up in the air You can't criticise it, it wouldn't be fair You couldn't do that, you'd be such a bore It's only the thinking, that altered the score It was always darkness, time was never on your side That's the rock of ages, and I could tell you why I'd talk about the daytime, and tell you 'bout the night You'll have to live in darkness to get some piece of mind Don't try to make the darkness bright, night will always dim the light |

I knew she was a feline
She moved with ease and grace Her green eyes they held mystery No emotion on her face She speaks her lips are kissing The air around her face I don't always understand her But I love her air and grace The European female she is here The European female's here We'll be together for a thousnd years And do you really fear That you might fall I saw her in the Strasse And in the Rue as well Pursued her in the high street She had me in her spell |

You get a taste it ain't enough
To eat your fill you need the stuff You think you're there about to land But is the trip just what you planned You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success You're gambling like everyone Who cares who wins you're having fun And you'll be back another day You think you'll win next time you play You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success You check your hand you're looking good You see a paath within the wood She beckons you what can you do But follow her to somewhere new You're falling, yes you're falling You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success |

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down isn't it a pity Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city All around me people looking half dead Choking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need, it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city Cool town meeting in the city Dressed so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'till I'm wheezing at the bus stop Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the night In the summer in the city In the summer in the city |

My mind was busy I had something to do My world was planned and I was living so tranquilly You turned me round just like a whirlpool [Chorus] Someone like you (makes me dizzy) Someone like you Someone like you (drives me crazy) Someone like you Your hurricane was blowing like there was no today I was asleep alone with nothing to do My roof was raised as I was snoring so comfortably You shooke me up just like a twister [Chorus] Alone at night I lie without any air Then you arrive and always take me somewhere What else can you do?

And the pharaoh raised his hand
Said dig a hole in the promised land The pointing men are marching in a line They're shooting poison arrows in the sky These are the last days of paradise row There's a man knocking on my door He's playing games with word of the law A hammer in his hand to break your soul But the spirit is a house that will not fall These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go Now the scorpion will go Where the forest will not grow And the pharaoh lies behind a golden mask His pointing men steal water from our well I don't mind telling you It makes my heart bleed I don't mind telling you It makes my heart bleed These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go? These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go? |

Your making plans to miss to morning train
You want all the world to feel your pain Tearing at the rules to ease your mind Sometimes days are dull without this light You see me staring down the wishing well Drowning in the stories kissed and fell Burning through the daze across the night Summer days are dull without this light I won't miss you, down where all the souls are broken I won't miss you, drowned where all the eyes are soaking I won't miss you, not gonna miss you Not gonna miss you, I won't miss you How I miss you Standing in the shadow of your ties Said you'd rather lived before it died Now the days had lost their sweet caress Decide it was right to taste the rest You said we really had to freeze the frame We'll meet another time the perfect plane But stars really don't mean that much to me Without their light there's nothing left to see I won't miss you, down where all the hearts are choking I won't miss you, drowned in all the stolen moments I won't miss you, not gonna miss you Not gonna miss you, I won't miss you How I miss you Maybe I lost, maybe I'm lost, break me tied knot Maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm not |

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful A midnight summer dream had me in its spell I dreamt about an old man Sat and watched the rain all night He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell He told me of the beauty Hidden in our foreheads He told me of the ugliness We show instead And when we put a foot wrong do we learn From all the pain A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain Then at midnight he poured another drink And bent my ear After midnight we sat up half the night Or maybe more And he began to tell me what it was all for I woke up in an armchair He had gone I don't know where Left me there to sit and look at the rain Don't remember much at all But his words were echoing A midnight summer dream and then wake again Maybe I'll never find him Maybe he's gone forever Maybe I'll have to sit here Watching the weather One thing's pretty certain helped me Make it in the night Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right And at midnight if you can't sleep Then I can bend your ear After midnight we'll sit up half the night Or maybe more And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for Wake up on a good day And the world feels wonderful Midnight summer dream has me in its spell. |

The city blues they strike again
Another worker drops his pen He wants to be done And out on the run Away from her curse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth For 2 or 3 weeks of the year An Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheer He's out of his head and toasting the dead And feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth To swap all his worth To be a man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth The wife and kids are already there They're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleak At the end of the week he'll be needing a nurse He'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earth A man of the earth Words become the man if only he could write a sonnet He'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earth A man of the earth, he'd swap all his worth To be a man of the earth A man of the earth |

Hot Sweet Nights Days That Were Fine Spent Many Hours Just Looking At You Heart Stopped Beating For A Moment Or Two Long Black Veil Now You Are Mine Sun Went Down Never To Rise Lost In Tears Filling My Eyes Saw My Love Trampled Deep In The Dirt Overwhelmed By The Bitterest Hurt Long Black Veil Now You Are Mine I've Lately Felt A Stirring Of Ghosts Around My Mind And I'm Frightened Of The Things That I Might Find The Veil Of Black That Claimed You And Took You From My Sight Has Marched Across The Sands Of Time Tonight |

Little lady
With Dingwall's bullshit You're so stupid Foetid brainwaves Little lady What really happens When you see mirrors You get the shivers Ah! Making love to The Mersey Tunnel With a sausage, have you ever been to Liverpool? Please don't talk much It burns my ears Tonight you've talked for a thousand years Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Plastic's real when you're real sick Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Oh London Lady Why did you lay me? Your head is crowded With the names you've hounded The lines around your Eyes they show me You realize the party's over London Lady Party's over London Lady Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about Tell me what you've got to look so pleased about ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HUGH CORNWELL, DAVID GREENFIELD, BRIAN DUFFY, JEAN JACQUES BURNEL <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

The words
Came down the line Just a few words At a time The meaning It was Clear There was no sign of fear The scene That they described Were sad You could have cried The journey's Just too long To even Take the ride It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ You lose And now The line is dead You did everything You ever said You brought it down You turned around And what was said Was said The deed is done You've had your fun And home again You'll run You know inside You'll never hide And what was done Was done It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ |

If you're by yourself, don't hesitate Spent too long on a wooden fence If you want to come don't have to wait If you want to come don't hesitate Let me get to taste your honey child [Chorus] Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Let's celebrate Wave a flag or sing a song When you come along let's celebrate Climb aboard the fun mobile There's plenty of room on the tailgate There's plenty of room on the tailgate Let me get to taste your honey child [Chorus] Look for honey round the world Find it in some special girl Maybe one maybe eight Makes no odds let's celebrate Take some time and run around Love the world or run it down Trouble is it's getting late Come with me let's celebrate Let me get to taste your honey child |

In this place I call home
There's a place where I'm alone To speak with you now you're gone Now the autumn has come In this place I call home Even though the leaves have gone I can speak with you now And the winter will come All the words that could have been said And the ghosts we thought we'd carefully laid To rest have returned In this place I call hoome There's a time when I'm alone To speak with you now you're gone What will the spring bring along All the words that could have been said And the ghosts we thought we'd carefully laid to rest Carefully laid to rest Carefully laid to rest have returned In this place I call home There's a place where I'm a lone To speak with you now you're gone And the summer's also gone |

And if you could see your hand
That would help you understand All the things that we endured To be here right now On the way I lost some dreams Shattered other people's too Those remaining are my friends And they light a trail to you And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Once I loved a woman so I asked her to be my wife Now that love is indifferent For those years did I waste my life If we saw what was to be Would we just avoid the debris We're here to make our own mistakes And for that we've got to be free And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Am I too philosophical Should I look into a crystal ball Am I being too quizzical Or should I trust in fate And if you could see your hand That would help you understand All the things that we endured To be here right now And if you could plainly see What was occurring round the bend Would it really change what happens in the end Would it really change what happens in the end |

from O Brother, Where Are Thou? (오 형제여, 어디에 있는가?) [ost] (2000)
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter scenes they do now show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' See the pain upon my brow While I'll soon be with the angels Fate has doomed my future now Through the years you've always loved me And my life you've tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest I am weary let me rest |

Big girl in the red dress
She's just trying to impress us And she's got the barley fever But she doesn't make a sound She's just hanging around She's just hanging around Down the court road early With the Hustlers big and burly There's a million of 'em selling And the buyers can be found They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS:] Christ he told his mother Christ he told her not to bother Cos he's alright in the city Cos he's high above the ground He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around (hanging around) One of 'em comes over Got a monkey on his shoulder And the monkey's getting grinner But his eyes are on the ground He's just hanging around He's just hanging around I'm moving to a coleheme With the leather all around me And the sweat is getting steamy But their eyes are on the ground They're just hanging around They're just hanging around [CHORUS 2x] He's just hanging around (hanging around) He's just hanging around |

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown, with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Golden brown, finer temptress Through the ages she's heading west From far away Stays for a day Never a frown with golden brown (instrumental) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown |

This is the story
Of a poor man's son He pulled himself up Turned his face to the sun He burned up the world with a heart on fire And tempted the stars when they hid their light Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy They made melody To support his word He's the new high priest Of the scene and herd They sanctified Sid Till he puked up his life A prick for an idol What a very strange sight Now children are weeping In a hundred towns The spitfire word Shot the pilot down They shoved a rag Down the golden throat And put up a column Where the poor dog choked |

Hey babe take a chance on me
I'll be your man tonight Just tell me when you've had enough Then I'll apply the coup de grace If I were to live forever I'd hope you'd apply the coup de grace Hey babe take a chance with me I'll take you down the river tonight A full moon with a big wolf too The end won't be a pretty sight And then we seeking something We need the coup de grace O lord I'm on my knees, save our holes Or it's the coup de grace, save our holes Hey babe I'm a bum tonight I need somewhere to sleep I'll love you now and I'll love you then But in the morning you will weep |
