Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor 'Til there are no rich no more? I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you World pollution, there's no solution Institution, electrocution Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you
Everywhere it's been the same, feeling Like I'm outside in the rain, wheeling Free, to try and find a game, dealing Cards for sorrow, cards for pain Cause I've seen blue skies through the tears In my eyes And I realise, I'm going home
My life is changing in so many ways I don't know who to trust anymore There's a shadow running through my days Like a beggar going from door to door I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid Find a place nearby for her to stay Just someone to keep my house clean Fix my meals and go away A maid A man needs a maid A maid It's hard to make that change When life and love turns strange And old To give a love, you gotta live a love To live a love, you gotta be "part of" When will I see you again? A while ago somewhere I don't know when I was watching a movie with a friend I fell in love with the actress She was playing a part that I could understand A maid A man needs a maid A maid A man needs a maid When will I see you again?

I never drooove two days through the pourrring rain just stopping for coffee and gaaaas And then I outruuuun the law on the insterstate, never knew this thing could go that fast I never beeeeen in the this deep before but there's always a first time Then again I ain't never been the jealous kind
Hey babe! Don't act so scared All I want is some special care I ain't looking to victimise you All I wanna to do is tantalise you But I can tell by your face I'm all the over place Let me inside your space Move over for a damage case!
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 Before the hurricane begins The hour that the ship comes in And 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 drifts on to the shoreline 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 dreamin' But they'll pinch themselves and squeal And know that it's for real The hour when 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
God said to Noah there's gonna be a floody floody Rain came down pouring and decided to get muddy muddy Gather all the animals and march them to the arcy arcy
I was riding on the Mayflower When I thought I spied some land I yelled for Captain Arab I have yuh understand Who came running to the deck Said, “Boys, forget the whale Look on over yonder Cut the engines Change the sail Haul on the bowline” We sang that melody Like all tough sailors do When they are far away at sea “I think I’ll call it America” I said as we hit land I took a deep breath I fell down, I could not stand Captain Arab he started Writing up some deeds He said, “Let’s set up a fort And start buying the place with beads” Just then this cop comes down the street Crazy as a loon He throw us all in jail For carryin’ harpoons Ah me I busted out Don’t even ask me how I went to get some help I walked by a Guernsey cow Who directed me down To the Bowery slums Where people carried signs around Saying, “Ban the bums” I jumped right into line Sayin’, “I hope that I’m not late” When I realized I hadn’t eaten For five days straight I went into a restaurant Lookin’ for the cook I told them I was the editor Of a famous etiquette book The waitress he was handsome He wore a powder blue cape I ordered some suzette, I said “Could you please make that crepe” Just then the whole kitchen exploded From boilin’ fat Food was flying everywhere And I left without my hat Now, I didn’t mean to be nosy But I went into a bank To get some bail for Arab And all the boys back in the tank They asked me for some collateral And I pulled down my pants They threw me in the alley When up comes this girl from France Who invited me to her house I went, but she had a friend Who knocked me out And robbed my boots And I was on the street again Well, I rapped upon a house With the U.S. flag upon display I said, “Could you help me out I got some friends down the way” The man says, “Get out of here I’ll tear you limb from limb” I said, “You know they refused Jesus, too” He said, “You’re not Him Get out of here before I break your bones I ain’t your pop” I decided to have him arrested And I went looking for a cop I ran right outside And I hopped inside a cab I went out the other door This Englishman said, “Fab” As he saw me leap a hot dog stand And a chariot that stood Parked across from a building Advertising brotherhood I ran right through the front door Like a hobo sailor does But it was just a funeral parlor And the man asked me who I was I repeated that my friends Were all in jail, with a sigh He gave me his card He said, “Call me if they die” I shook his hand and said goodbye Ran out to the street When a bowling ball came down the road And knocked me off my feet A pay phone was ringing It just about blew my mind When I picked it up and said hello This foot came through the line Well, by this time I was fed up At tryin’ to make a stab At bringin’ back any help For my friends and Captain Arab I decided to flip a coin Like either heads or tails Would let me know if I should go Back to ship or back to jail So I hocked my sailor suit And I got a coin to flip It came up tails It rhymed with sails So I made it back to the ship Well, I got back and took The parkin’ ticket off the mast I was ripping it to shreds When this coastguard boat went past They asked me my name And I said, “Captain Kidd” They believed me but They wanted to know What exactly that I did I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed They let me go right away They were very paranoid Well, the last I heard of Arab He was stuck on a whale That was married to the deputy Sheriff of the jail But the funniest thing was When I was leavin’ the bay I saw three ships a-sailin’ They were all heading my way I asked the captain what his name was And how come he didn’t drive a truck He said his name was Columbus I just said, “Good luck”
I was spending my time in the doldrums I was caught in the cauldron of hate I felt persecuted and paralyzed I thought that everything else would just wait While you are wasting your time on your enemies Engulfed in a fever of spite Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades Like shadows into the night To martyr yourself to caution Is not going to help at all Because there'll be no safety in numbers When the Right One walks out of the door Can you see your eyes blighted by darkness? Is it true you beat your fists on the floor? Stuck in a world of isolation While ivy grows over the door So I open my door to my enemies And I ask could we wipe the slate clean But they tell me to please go fuck myself You know you just can't win
So poetic Harry Nilsson - You're Breakin' My Heart You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart So fuck you All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue You won't boogaloo, Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh You're breakin' my heart, You're tearing it apart But fuck you You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo You stepped on my ass You're breakin' my glasses too You won't drive my car, might be a star I've had enough of you I'm goin' insane There's no one to blame So fuck you You can't have your way There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart So fuck you You gotta have your way There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to do, ooooowww You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart But I love you
"I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me"
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again, and again and again, and again, and again and again
