Kevin's Watch

We can't turn back the clock
But we can chant for love
Let's cut the idle talk so we can
Chant for love
We always have the time to quarrel
About such problems as money and war
Let's put it off until tomorrow
Who needs another dose of sorrow?

It don't necessitate an act of faith
To chant for love
What alibi is strong enough to wait
To chant for love
Though we don't hold the reigns of power
Somebody else seems to be in control
We mustn't waste another hour
We'll get directly to the soul
If we can

Chant
For a world united
Chant
For a world that's dying for love

The Hare Krishna plays a drum and bell
When he chants for love
The tribal priest is afraid of hell
So he chants for love
I am not pushing some religion
Don't get me wrong,
I never mess with such things
Just be true to your own vision
This is your personal decision

The Dervish spins to a "Hu Hu Hu"
When he chants for love
Nobody knows what the angels do
When they chant for love
You're at the bottom of the ladder
Someone may try to tell you where you should start
But the words, they never matter
If you can feel it in your heart
Then you can


Chant
For a world united
Chant
For a world that's dying for love
Chant
For a world united
Chant
For a world that's dying for love
Why don't you chant?
You can chant
Chant, chant, chant ...

MILKY WAY

What'd you ever say today when you're in the milky way

oh tell me please
Just to give you a squeeze
if I met you, I told you what to do
seems a while
since I could smile the way you do...

how many times, if I try, if I may,
when you're in the milky way
half of your time beside me only atmosphere
the singular raised by heats and wet
seems a while
since I could smile the way you do...

What can anyone mean to you
standing in the milky way
take life easy
I mean so easy
Why so empty?
I told you - I can tell you
what to do when I hold you
and I tell you "I love you"
I feel that I'm way you do...

Give a grasp of life today
when you're in the milky way
oh, try to please! Knock on wood of the trees
glad you, mold you, mold you and hold you
means five miles
and every way for you...

Here in some stranger's room
Late in the afternoon
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Somehow the wires got crossed
Communication's lost
Can't even get you on the telephone
Just got to shout about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Well, here in the valley of indecision
I don't know what to do
I feel you slipping away
I feel you slipping away
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Well now, you say you're not getting enough
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a bandaid on it?
And stop the bleeding now
Stop the bleeding now

I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Well, well, well

I know I hurt you then
But hell, that was way back when
Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (drop it)
Don't want to hear about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Don't want to lose you now
Welllllllll!
So long ago

Keeping You

I'm keeping you i'm keeping you
I'm keeping you so realize your fate
I'm keeping you i'm keeping you
I'm keeping you so settle down now

You landed here from inner space
You landed with that screwed-up look on your face
I wanted you from way back when
I wanted you for years, then years again

I'm keeping you i'm keeping you
I'm keeping you so settle in now

My return to wildlife by satellite
By beautiful moon-shining girl
Whether by hard ground or splashdown
We're safely back in the world

My heart's not new
I'm not like you
I've loved and been loved well and badly too
My body's been through everything
I've used and been used
I got over it
There's something that you learn on a tightrope
Just outside the spotlight there's a big net waiting for...

My return to wildlife by satellite
By beautiful moon-shining girl
Whether by hard ground or splashdown
We're safely back in the world

I'm keeping you

John Waite (rep-re-sint-in for the Pop factor)



Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wondering why you left
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
And there’s a heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone
Away
I ain’t missing you
No matter
What I might say
There’s a message
In the wild
And I’m sending you
This signal tonight
You don’t know
How desperate I’ve become
And it looks like I’m losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I’m trying hard
To understand
And it’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone
Away
I ain’t missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there’s a message that I’m sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can’t bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone
Away
I ain’t missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I keep lying to myself
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone
Away
I ain’t missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I keep lying to myself
Ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you
Ain’t missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I ain’t missing you

Brad : Buttercup

And I love to tie you up

And you love to let me down

We both try to cover it up

With a sound

You ain't my buttercup

I ain't your little fool

I know that ain't a part of the deal

We're through

It's just a matter of time

It's just a matter of time

And I'd love to share the cost

Butterfly

The reason why we need to fly, high away

It's just a matter of time

It's just a matter of time

Before we're thrown back in the wheel!

Before we're thrown back in the wheel!

Baby, I'll be hard pressed

Maybe we're more simple too

Ain't a reason to wander

Before we're thrown back in the wheel!

reprise: West Berlin- Camel
(Latimer/Hoover)

Feel a chill in the dark,
twilight falls.
Feel the beat of your heart,
danger calls.

Up to the rooftop, out in the rain...

Well I'm planning it out,
day by day.
There's no room for doubt,
just one way.

Up to the rooftop, out in the rain...
And I'm looking out over West Berlin.
Feeling freer now than I've ever been.
When the sun sets over West Berlin,
I'll be leaving,
I can't come back again.
And I'm looking out over West Berlin,
West Berlin.

In the flood of the light,
safety will shine.
We'll be high out of sight,
on steel cable line.

(repeat chorus)

Throwing Muses
Cry baby cry

I wanna cry
On a roof
I - the third time
You will lose

He moved me
And the chains changed
I take a nervous face
Month after month after more
Mouth after mouth after her

I said a nightmare
Complete with barking dogs and coke machines
Keep feeling like a baby chicken
Keep touching life's basement

'I'm obvioulsy confused,' I said,
'I'm more more worried for you than for me'
I yell

Cry baby cry
Cry fight it
I'm not ever getting out
I'm always getting sicker

You're the person that took me
I found last September in a notebook
It was too much for the book to hold
That's how come I wore raincoats

I said first a suicide without a note
And now a note without a suicide
First a look without a note
And now a note without a suicide

She said 'maybe death is my answer,
But love is the answer of life'

He moved me and the chains changed
I take a nervous face
Month after month after more
Mouth after mouth after her

I said a nightmare
Complete with barking dogs and coke machines
Keep feeling like a baby chicken
Keep touching life's basement

Cry baby cry cry
I fight it
Im not ever getting out
I'm always getting sicker, sicker

I found last September in a notebook
It was too much for the book to hold
I lean on some

She said 'first a suicide without a note
And now a note without a suicide.'
I said 'maybe death is my answer,
But love is the answer of life.'

Evangeline
The Band

She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Alone in the pale moonlight
Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Loving the whole night through
'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
And bring it on back to you.

Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
That pulled her man away.

Bayou Sam, from the South Lousianne
Had gambling in his veins
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
Was slowly going insane.

High on the top of Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a-sinking
She watched that queen go under

Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
That pulled her man away

Mercury Rev

"Chasing A Bee"
Those seducers [4x]
bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers, fine [find?] eager seekers, deep deef down
beautiful lines from above and we're all a-glow
raise her head and things get warm, hold on to its leg, before it flies away
sun lit walks, I feel no harm, my primitive words match my primitive heart [hide?]

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

[chorus] and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar [x2]

Then like sheep led to sacrifial slaughter, they don't mind, but they oughta, all the time (they oughta)
their pretty shells are so inviting, well protected
their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers

[chorus]

it's not time for the real life [live?] sign, it's not time for these fears of mine [x2]
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam [x2]

it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back
i feel no harm, i feel no harm, ...feel no harm

[chorus]

its not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam

what once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles until you break new ground

Rainbow - Stargazer

High noon
Oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years' worth
Of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides
Why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face

Where is your star
Is it far, Is it far, is it far
When do we leave
I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die

We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
Don't know why
Now where do we go

Hot wind moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins while we put his wing together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face

Where is your star
It is far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave, yeah
I believe, I believe


All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still
Then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face

Where was your star
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave
We believe, we believe, we believe

In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why, it don't rain
With all our chains,
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look
Look at this tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh

Take me back, take me back
Back to my home, oh, oh...

Great, great, great song.

Cail wrote:Great, great, great song.

One of my all-time favorites.



One day, in the Year of the Fox
Came a time remembered well,
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell.
One day in the Year of the Fox,
When the bell began to ring,
It meant the time had come for one to go
To the temple of the king.

There in the middle of the circle he stands,
Searching, seeking.
With just one touch of his trembling hand,
The answer will be found.
Daylight waits while the old man sings,
"Heaven help me!"
And then like the rush of a thousand wings,
It shines upon the One.
And the day has just begun.

One day in the Year of the Fox
Came a time remembered well,
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell.
One day in the Year of the Fox,
When the bell began to sing
It meant the time had come for the One to go
To the temple of the king.

There in the middle of the people he stands,
Seeing, feeling.
With just a wave of the strong right hand, he's gone
To the temple of the king.

Far from the circle, at the edge of the world,
He's hoping, wondering.
Thinking back on the stories he's heard of
What he's going to see.
There, in the middle of a circle it lies.
"Heaven help me!"
Then all could see by the shine in his eyes
The answer had been found.

Back with the people in the circle he stands,
Giving, feeling.
With just one touch of a strong right hand, they know
Of the temple and the king.

Hickory Wind
Written by parsons/buchanan

In south carolina, there're many tall pines
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
But now when i'm lonesome i always pretend
That i'm headin' the field of hickory wind

I started out younger, had most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else can life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time you begin
Callin' me home, hickory wind

It's a hard way to find out that trouble is real
In a faraway city with a faraway feel
But it makes me feel better each time you begin
Callin' me home, hickory wind
Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind

Six long years

Six full years of my life on your trail


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
I like it here - can I stay ?
Do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber?"


She was left behind, and sour
And she wrote to me, equally dour
She said : "In the days when you were
Hopelessly poor
I just liked you more..."

Bare Jr. - Why do i need a job

Why do I need a job, why do I need a job
I feel so free, I got nowhere to be
So why so I need a job
I once worked for an old bastard
Who always pushed me to work faster
He made fun of me
Cause my hair was green
He tried to stick his hands into my jeans
My girlfriend is a stripper in Abilene
She likes me to stay home and watch TV.
She pays for my food,
She likes to be rude
She undresses her friends for me
I don't have a clue
What I wanna do
Maybe I could invent
Something cool
Or I could do time
For committing a crime
Then sue for a million
Or two
I traded my car for a van
Filled it with gas, guitars and this band
They pay us with beer,
We stole all this gear
So why don't ya'll
Give us a hand

I've come up hard baby
And now I'm cool
Didn't make it sugar
Playing by the rules
I've come up hard baby
But now I'm fine.
In checking trouble sugar
Moving down the line
I've come up hard baby
But that's ok
'Coz trouble man
Don't get in my way
I've come up hard baby
I've been for real
Gonna keep on moving
Gonna go to town
I've come up hard
Come up and get down
There's only three things that's for sure
Taxes death and trouble
This I know baby
Oh I've come up hard baby
With a troubled mind
But then I've got my share
Of what's mine
Oh I've come up hard baby
But that's Ok
'Coz trouble man
Don't get in my way
Oh I've come up hard baby
I know some places
And I see some faces,
I've got the connections,
They dig my directions,
What people say
That's ok
They don't bother me
I'm ready to make it
Don't care what the weather
Don't care about no trouble
Got myself together
Got the kind of protection
It's all around me
I've come up hard but now I'm cool
I didn't make it baby
Playing by the rules
Oh I've come up hard baby
But that's Ok
'Coz trouble man
Don't get in my way
Oh I've come up hard baby
With the troubled mind
But then I've got my share
Of what's mine
I've come up hard
But now I'm fine
Checking trouble sugar
Moving down the line ....

Tom Petty
"Two Gunslingers"

Two gunslingers, walked out in the street
And one said "I don't wanna fight no more"
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, "yeah what are we fighting for?"

I'm takin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

Well the crowd that assembled
For the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And a stranger told his Mrs.
That's the last one of these gunfights
You're ever gonna drag me to

I'm takin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

Well the two gunslingers
Went ridin' out of town and
Were never heard from no more
And there ain't been a gun fight
For a long time, maybe never
But nobody knows for sure

I'm takin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
Warren Zevon

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

Roland the Thompson gunner...

His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Norway's bravest son
Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
But time stands still for Roland
'Til he evens up the score
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Roland the headless Thompson gunner...
The eternal Thompson gunner
still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it

Straight to Hell
(The Clash)

If you can play on the fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise

There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell boys

Y'wanna join in a chorus
Of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo photo
Photograph of you
Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.

Straight to hell
Oh Papa-san
Please take me home
Oh Papa-san
Everybody they wanna go home
So Mamma-san says

You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International
Hah! Junkiedom U.S.A.
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
and rat poison
The volatile Molatov says-

PSSST...
HEY CHICO WE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YA...
VAMOS VAMOS MUCHACHO
FROM ALPHABET CITY ALL THE WAY A TO Z, DEAD, HEAD

Go straight to hell

Can you really cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land and there ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

Go straight to hell boys
