To be '21

Dalaras


One by one glorious years return to my memory
To have been '21, an instance to arrive
To cross, a rider, on the wide plains
With Kolokotronis to drink wine

To fight at daytimes at the castles
And my sword to be envelopped in fire
And to hold at nightimes with the stars
A beauty in my embrace

One by one glorious years return to my memory
To have been '21 an instance to arrive

First one, to lead the dance on the roads of Moria
And behind me Maniates and Psarianoi
And when wounded I'd lean behind the flower gardens
To be springled by menexedes hands and skies

To fight at daytimes at the castles
And my sword to be envelloped in fire
And to hold at nightimes with the stars
A beauty in my embrace

One by one glorious years return to my memory
To be '21 to arrive one night

The Howling Wolf

(Sound like I hear that wolf howlin'...)

Yeah I'm the wolf and everybody in the world,
Trying to find out who I prowl
I'm the wolf and everybody in the world,
They're trying to find out who I hound
Well you know they can't see me at night,
But they can hear me when I howl

(Howl, wolf... I said howl... Now you're howlin'!...)

I take time when I'm prowlin',
Wipe my tracks out with my tail
(A lot of people wonder why I do this but I wanna tell you)
I take time when I come prowlin',

Wipe my tracks out with my tail
That's in order that no one discover,
Whoa Lord he can't cross my trail

I'm that wolf, dig a hole,
Stick my nose down in the ground (hound)
I'm that wolf, dig a hole,
Stick my nose deep down in the ground
Yeah you know I'll be hiding right at you baby,
You'll think I'm way out on the outskirts of town

(That's that wolf)

Happy Blues For John Glenn

People I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind
Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three time
But John Glenn did
Yes he did
He did it, I'm talkin' about him
Only did it for fun

Half a million dollars made him feel so well
He got to eatin' his lunch and couldn't hardly tell
He said I feel all right
John Glenn said it
Everybody was laughin'
And dipped in the gritty

It was a million prayer went up
Prayin' that he would land
I looked at a schoolhouse full of men and they didn't know what to say
But they said "Let him come back, God
Please let him land
You know that's the onliest man ever did it
And you're the helpin' hand"

I see'd him when he left but I didn't see him when he land
But I knowed he was doin' all right when they said it is OK to give him a great big hand
He'll be in on the ship
They say he's on deck
His mother say I know my son gonna make it, it ain't never been no mistake

You know I wanna tell you somethin', this ain't lyin'
You know that man must had on his mind flyin'
It ain't nobody will take that for his tryin',
unless they gonna build him his own self airplane and they gonna go flyin'
They told him "Don't worry, this is true
You may miss me for a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you" - He did!
Yes he did
Yes when he done it, didn't know what had happened the helicopter say -

You know they tested that boy's body, even test his heart
They knowed he was all right when he was gettin' to start
I mean he's made it!
He went around the world three times
You know he went and got him an airplane,
and he made up and had it on his mind

That's what he had on his mind
He didn't have no kid and he didn't have no digs
He just had it in his mind flyin'

Goin' To Dallas To See My Pony Run


I'm goin' to Dallas, see my pony run
Goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run
I'm goin' to Dallas, just to see my pony run
If I win any money, gonna bring my baby some

She's a cold black mare, put on a racetrack anywhere
She's a cold black mare, put on a racetrack anywhere
If I get to the place and it's crowded, I'll say have you got any room to spare?

I'm going to Dallas, see my pony run
Going to Dallas, see my pony run
I'm going to Dallas, just to see my pony run
She wins every race and I can't see how it's done

She got a long life to live, cold black way remains
Long life to live, cold black way remains
When that horse wins that race she don't look like she's ashamed

I'm going to Dallas, see her run one more time
Going to Dallas, see her run one more time
If she wins this race for Lightnin', I'm gonna tell her she can retire

Dollar Bill Blues
Townes van Zandt


If I had a dollar bill
yes, I believe I surely will
go to town and drink my fill
early in the morning


Little darling, she's a redhaired thing
man, she makes my legs to sing
gonna buy her a diamond ring
early in the morning


Mother was a golden girl
I slit her throat just to get her pearls
cast myself into a whirl
before a bunch of swine


It's a long way down the Harlan road
busted back and a heavy load
won't get through to save my soul
early in the morning


I've always been a gambling man
I've roled them bones with either hand
seven is the promised land
early in the morning


Whiskey'd be my dying bed
tell me where to lay my head
not with me is all she said
early in the morning


If I had a dollar bill
yes, I believe I surely will
go to town and drink my fill
early in the morning

I Feel Free
Cream


Feel when I dance with you,
We move like the sea.
You, you're all I want to know.
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.

I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd.
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see,
Though my mind wants to cry out loud.

I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.

I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd.
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see,
Though my mind wants to cry out loud,
Though my mind wants to cry out loud.

Dance floor is like the sea,
Ceiling is the sky.
You're the sun and as you shine on me,
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.

Grey Funnel Line

Melody & text - Cyril Tawney

Sung by Maddy Prior and June Tabor

Album: Silly Sisters

Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea
The weary night never worries me
But the hardest time in a sailor's day
Is to watch the sun as it dies away
Here's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

The finest ship that sails the sea
Is still a prison for the likes of me
But give me wings like Noah's dove
I'll fly up harbour to the girl I love
Here's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

O, once my heart was wild and free
Like a flashing spar on the open sea
But now that spar has washed ashore
And come to rest at my true love's door
Here's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

Each time I gaze behind the screws
Makes me long for Saint Peter's shoes
I'd dance on down that Walker Shore
And rest in my true love's arms once more
Here's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

O Lord if dreams were only real
I'd feel my hands on that wooden wheel
And with all my heart I'd turn her round
And tell the boys that we're homeward bound
Here's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line

I'll pass the time like some machine
Until the waters turn to green
Then I'll dance on down that walk ashore
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more



Handbags and Gladrags: sung by Mary Coughlan

Album: Sentimental Killers

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Baby
Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
Listen
But once you think you're in you're out
cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie

They told me you missed school today
So what, I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy

They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya



Kate Bush

The Sensual World

Lyrics:

Mmh, yes,

Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,

He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes.

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
Stepping out...

To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes,

And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.

And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes,
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,
I said, mmh, yes,
But not yet, mmh, yes,
Mmh, yes.

[Ben Kenobi]

Just listening to this song, can't get it out of my head.

Beatles,

Don't Let Me Down


Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.

Nobody ever loved me like she does,
Oo, she does, yeh, she does.
And if somebody loved me like she do me,
Oo, she do me, yes, she does.

Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.

I’m in love for the first time.
Don’t you know it’s gonna last.
It’s a love that lasts forever,
It’s a love that had no past.

Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.

And from the first time that she really done me,
Oo, she done me, she done me good.
I guess nobody ever really done me,
Oo, she done me, she done me good.

Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.

Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever?


There's no time for us, There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us, It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?... When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips, Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever, And we can love forever
Forever is our today

Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today... Who waits forever anyway?



Green Day - Basket Case

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
she says it's lack of sex
that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
he said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
it's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Uh,yuh,yuh,ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paraoid?
Or am I just stoned

You better suffer and kick it
You better suffer and kick it
You got to suffer some
To kick
Hey it's too heavy for you

Rock Hard Times (eels)

They told me that I couldn’t come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool
Said I was doing things that never should be done
But I don’t care about their rules

As if I cared ‘bout the little minds
In the little heads of the herd
There’s nothing you could dream
Would be more absurd

And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

I don’t know what it is they’re trying to do to me
Make me into some sick joke
But no one’s laughing
And least of all not me
It’s hard to laugh as you choke

Hollywood lies piled up to the sky
Floating your way soon
Hope you like the rotten stench of doom

And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

I don’t know what it is they think I’m gonna try
They don’t know what they need to fear
The surest sign that the end is coming soon
Is right there in the bathroom mirror

And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
These are rock hard times

[Drogue]

My Aphrodisiac Is You
Katie Melua

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong,
But i don't buy it,
I don't believe my diet turns me on,
Won't take no pills,
That's the last thing that i need to do,
i can't deny it, my aphrodisiac is you.

Alright,
I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But i don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love, - in other words:

Don't smoke no grass
or opium from old Hong Kong,
That Hubble-bubble
Just makes me see you double all night long.
Don't waste my time,
With Spanish fly and roots to chew,
They cause me trouble
Because my aphrodisiac is you

Alright,
I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But i don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love, - in other words:

Some people like
To read the Karma Sutra first,
But i don't need it
I think if i should read it i'd be worse!
Don't ask me why,
'cause baby, i aint got a clue.
I just concede it,
My aphrodisiac is you.

Some Of My Lies Are True
Huey Lewis And The News


Say you wanna be a friend of mine
See me all the time
You don't care what I do
But it all sounds the same to me

Hey, can't you see
It's just like I told you

I know you think that I've
Been stringing you along
And that I've told you a few, but

(Chorus)
Sooner or later when you say I love you
You're gonna realize that
Some of my lies are true

I never told you that I was the one
Said it just for fun
You know, you knew it too
So why so much on the telephone
I'm never home

It's just like I told you

Because it's real the way you used to make me feel
It makes it so hard to say
But nothing can change the way I feel today
Don't you see that

Sooner or later when you say I love you
Your gonna
Realize that some of my lies are true

(Repeat chorus x 2)

Because it's real the way you used to make me feel
It makes it so hard to say but
Nothing can change the way I feel today
Don't you see that

(Repeat chorus x 3)

B. Dylan, Song to Woody


I'm out here a thousand miles from my home
Walkin' a road other men have gone down
I'm seein' your world of people and things
Hear paupers and peasants and princes and kings.

Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny old world that's a-comin' along
Seems sick and it's hungry, it's tired and it's torn
It looks like it's a-dyin' and it's hardly been born.

Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
All the things I'm a-sayin', and many times more
I'm a-singin' every song, but I can't sing enough
Cause there's not many men done the things that you done.

Here's to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly, too
And to all the good people that traveled with you
Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind

I'm a-leavin' tomorrow, but I could leave today
Somewhere down the road someday
The very last thing that I'd want to do
Is to say I'd been hittin' some hard travelin' too.

[Sikander]

Bitter - Sweet

(Ferry/Mackay)

Well this is such
A sad affair
I've opened up my heart
So many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter - sweet applause

But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen

How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste - both sweet and dry
These vintage years!
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine

Nein - das ist nicht
Das ende der welt
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele schönste...wiedershen

And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile -
As if to compensate -
Then you break down and cry

Blow Away (George Harrison)

Day turned black, sky ripped apart
Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart
Cracks and leaks
The floorboards caught rot
About to go down
I had almost forgot.

All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.

Sky cleared up, day turned to bright
Closing both eyes now the head filled with light
Hard to remember what a state I was in
Instant amnesia
Yang to the Yin.

All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.

Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed
Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst
Breezes a-singing, now feeling good
The moment had passed
Like I knew that it should.

All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.
