if the sun should tumble from the sky
if the sea should suddenly run dry
if you love me, really love me
let it happen darling, I don't care

shall I catch a shooting star
shall I bring it where you are
if you want me to, I will
you can set me any task
i'll do anything you ask
if you'll only love me still

when at last, our life on earth is through
I will spend eternity with you
if you love me, really love me
let it happen darling, I won't care

as I walk this lonely track
watchin' the trains beat along
me, oh well I weep, let me hear your sound
so that my soul can be filled with joy
my heart on high
 
so alone and afraid I feel so I ask ya
how long, how long will it take me to be your man again
tell me sister, how long
 
well I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you
you are loved by me
I can't take it
I will try not to break it
my heart on high
 
so alone and afraid I feel so I ask ya
how long, how long will it take me to be your man again
tell me momma, how long, how long will it take me
how long, oh yeah
 
well I try my best not to sigh,
but I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you
you are loved by me
I can't take it I will try not to break it
my heart on high
 
so alone and afraid I feel so I ask ya
how long, how long will it take me to be your man again
tell me momma, how long, how long
will it take me to be your man again
how, how long, will it take me to be your man again
how long will it take me to be your man again, ooh Lord ooh Lord
how long, how long will it take me
to be your man, again how long

I'm lying in my bed
the blanket is warm
this body will never be safe from harm
still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
touch my skin to keep me whole


don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
the memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
black beauty I love you so


precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
drop down we two to serve and pray to love
born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
ageless, ageless and I'm there in your arms


don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
the memories fire, the rhythms fall slow black beauty I love you so


the welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
well it's you I've waited my life to see
it's you I've searched so hard for

don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
the memories fire, the rhythms fall slow black beauty I love you so

grace

there's the moon asking to stay
long enough for the clouds to fly me away
well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die

my fading voice sings of love, but she cries to the clicking of time,
oh, time.  Wait in the fire...
and she weeps on my arm
walking to the bright lights in sorrow
oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
oh my love...
and the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
it reminds me of the pain I might leave behind... Wait in the fire
and I feel them drown my name
so easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow...

satisfied mind
(J. Hayes, J.Rhodes)

how many times have you heard someone say
if I had money, I'd do things my way,
but little they know that it's so hard to find
one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

money can't buy back your youth when you're old
a friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul
the wealthiest person is a pauper at times
compared to the man with a satisfied mind

when my life is over and my time has run out
my friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt
but, one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
satisfied mind

oh yeah
born no longer just a baby
always trying to keep in one place for long, oh long enough to sleep
oh sleep and dreams are here the same
[inaudible] got no rest they'll no longer speak to you
moving on again
I'm moving…moving on again
well I'm moving…moving on again
baby…you're so cruel
you're cruel to yourself, so you never understand,
boy'l never do ya no harm,
for you to build the frame of the bed you sleep upon.
so spill your milk and honey, get your kicks off your next man.
bigger than you think and make him go, go on.
make him move on, moving on again
oh he's moving…moving on again
baby, you're so cruel
they thought about the dream is so real now
these are dreams of mine
you're so aimless, so aimless
you baby, you're so cruel
you're so cruel
wonder what your gonna think of yourself when the phone calls fade away,
as you hold his shoulders
did you think it would come to this day?
ask yourself why he's off when others surround you
he was one of many on the day he found you
uh-huh, you're moving, moving on again
yeah, you're moving, moving on again
yeah, you're moving, moving on again
baby, you're so cruel

harem man
(J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

alright alright alright alright…woah

well I'm your Harem man, I will sing and dance for you
oh baby say it
my love is great (inaudible)

well well
lay your nails down till they rake over me
oh sweet pussy cat rake your nails all over me
oh you're so sweet, your pussy cat I'm gonna show you where it's at
why don't you think I can [inaudible] free
I wanna be your fire when it's cold
it's raining outside mama…don't wait until you get too old
take home a liter and push it in me
I wanna inject you in my blood
I wanna set you free

well well

my world (Repeated), My Love

I wanna be your Harem man
oh baby save you, do anything I can
I'll keep you waiting in a room of my own
a man can't be free until he's older
my, my my (repeated) woman, man

I wanna be your Harem man

I wish I was your $5 dollar bill
spend all your money, pay all your thrills
I wish I could be your walking shoes, step all over me
and take away my blues

my world, my love

I wish I was you…

malign fiesta (no soul)
(J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

you got yourself a girl with the face and the voice of a whore.
you don't want a phone.
but, you don't know what you kill yourself for anymore.

you got no...you got no...you got no...you got no

you're no soul rebel if you rip on your skin
you're no soul rebel with your boot in your shin
you no soul rebel, it's your own chance to fight
you're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no soul.

you call yourself a rebel but you call that man a nigger like they do
you call yourself a rebel but a woman [inaudible] like they do
you call yourself a rebel but you don't talk, act, walk and piss like they do
you got no room, no soul, no out, no phone
so whadya got? A God to pray to?

you got no...you got no...you got no

you're no soul rebel if you spit on your sister
you're no soul rebel with your boot on your shin
you no soul rebel, it's your last chance to fight
you're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no

you call yourself a rebel but you call a man a nigger like they do
you call yourself a rebel but you put your woman down like they do
you call yourself a rebel but you rape, scheme and lie like they do
you got no woman, no song, no drone
so what have you got, a God to pray to?

you got no...you got no...you got no...you got no

you're no soul rebel if you rip on your skin
you're no soul rebel with your boot in your shin
you no soul rebel, it's your own chance to fight
you're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no

you got no...you got no...you got no
