After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking out nowhere special to go. I heard someone singing in a voice so sad, This is what I heard her singing Chorus 'who's going to take me home After the show? I'm feeling really lonely And I've nowhere to go Oh take me to your party And I'll dance all night And hold you tight till morning comes'. I walked up to her, took her by the hand. I said 'sad lady, yes, I understand And I will stay with you if you want me to And we can sing this song together' Repeat chorus After the music of the rock and roll show I started walking home somewhere special to go Our love grows stronger as time goes by But we can still remember singing Repeat chorus twice |

Here's a song for Clean Machine Kevin Majorca
He's found his own way of "live in Majorca" Don't walk, don't drink Don't talk, just think Heaven on Earth he'll get there soon Kevin's highly unlikely to get ill At least as long as he lies perfectly still He eats brown rice and fish ? how nice Heaven on Earth, he'll get there soon Good and bad go so well together in his tunes He wrote a song and called it the weather ? or not He's Lucky or Pozzo, Estragon and Vladimir Waiting for something that's already there Heaven on Earth or is it the moon? Why, why, why is he sleeping? Why is the trumpeter weeping? Kevin maybe asking to get back into my dreams His voice is so weak now and the customers are screaming Heavens above, we can't hear what you're saying We've got something to tell you Hold on we wanted to thrill you Reckons it's so nice and it will make you feel better Something in the nature of a Lullabye Letter Kevin on Earth there'll be one Kevin on Earth make room for one Kevin himself he'll be in Kevin on Earth, be here Or you could be now Or is he found, in Herne Bay... |

There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands And bloodstained pianos Are played without hands Such a promising music Sweet whispers and dreams From a travelling window, The salesman who screamed. Moonlight, Saturday night It's now or never Oh play Stormy Weather, for me, for me. I lived in the flower shop Called "Love is So Sweet!" And I get all my kicks From the customers' feet. Well, I'm just a stranger, None stranger than I. My head in the quicksand My feet in the sky. I was carefully crazy When playing the game. 'Cause business is business And I'm not to blame. Climb on my back It's a wet afternoon ; A bottle of booze, A bit of a tune to sing; Goodbye, everything; Goodbye, everything.... |

When the angostura runs a little low
And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow And time is rushing by, but it seems slow Just live dangerously once before you go If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake He'll assume the reputation of a fake Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake But who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shale with a snake? I ask you. |

You're safe and you're warm Got a break from the storm And it's visiting time in the past And you've just reached the part Where you're losing your heart And your spirit is leaving you fast A then the storm blows a scream And it crashes your dream Like a fist through the curtain of glass And there's a giant of darkness Surrounds you with fright And the only way out is to stand up and fight And so you shout, scream Give me back my dream I need one to get through the day If it's lost and if it's gone I won't keep hanging on And the storm can just blow me away Blow me away It's a long way till dawn And you've got to get warm 'Cause you're shivering deeply inside So you turn on the light Try to burn up the night But your spirit has run off to hide There's nowhere to run So you wait for the sun Nowhere to run You wait for the sun Shout, scream Give me back my dream I need one to get through the day If it's lost and if it's gone I wont keep hanging on And the storm can just blow me away Blow me away So shout, scream Give me back my dream I need one to get through the day But if it's lost and if it's gone I won't keep hanging on The storm, just blow me away Blow me away Wait for the sun Nowhere to run Wait for the sun Nowhere to run |

By Kevin Ayers. Champagne, Getting high again, Makes me think of you, Sunshine and this crazy wine, There is loving too, I don't care how or why. One thing that I think I've learned, Loving must be free, So much energy is burned in pointless jealousy, I just want to sing for you, Yes I do. Champagne, Getting high again, Makes me think of you, Sunshine and this crazy wine, There is loving too, somewhere, I don't care how or why. As long as I'm high, champagne, yeah. Good-bye old horse, Thank you for the use of your body, Hope you had a good time, You got a bit of use out of mine, Good-bye old horse. |

To fill me with trepidation Fills me with trepidation inside Too much big business And too little celebration Too little celebration indeed So let's raise our voices And sing for our lives Sing for our life Let's raise our voices Drink for our lives Drink for your life my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends Too many reassuring lies To lullaby the population Lullaby the population to sleep Too much big business Too little celebration Too little celebration indeed |

Sitting on the beach like Clarence in Wonderland
I had a dream and I know you will understand Riding up the beach, it only took a moment Along came a lady looking for amusement She came up to me and everything was smiling And then she said something, it sounded like a violin Let's go to my chateau, we could have a good time Drinking lots of sky wine Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the moon We're gonna get there soon Gonna get there soon There's no doubt about it Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the moon We're gonna get there soon Gonna get there soon Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the moon in June and this tune We're gonna get there soon, soon. soon, soon |

Ayers
I don't understand anymore As I grow older Nothing seems to be clearer Than before, um hum Old shoulders Become cold shoulders Nothing left to dream on We're all kept in fear We're afraid to take Too many chances We must keep in step But there are just too many Different dances And those old shoulders Become cold shoulders Nothing you can lean on |

White is the colour of night
When there's nobody there, And you sit in your chair, Getting drunk on despair. Red is the colour it's said That can drive you insane With pleasure or pain... It depends on your head. Brown is the colour of skin That I'd like to be in, 'cause it doesn't seem right To be coloured so white. Blue is the colour of sky And I won't even try To explain how or why, I'll just show you the sky Just show you the sky |

Sitting on the beach like Clarence in Wonderland
I had a dream and I know you'll all understand. Riding up the beach, it only took a moment; Along came a lady looking for amusement. CHORUS: Let's go to my chateu we can have a good time drinking up some sky wine Miss Juliet Cate Queen of the moon; Gonna get there soon, get there soon, get there soon. Suddenly my eyes were popping and jumping, I didn't know why but i must have taken something; Juliets face was screaming with lightning, Couldn't see myself, it was very very frightening; I knew I had to leave and I had to do it my way (my way) That was very strange, cause there wasn't any Highway...anyway Let's go to my chateu we can have a good time drinking up some sky wine Miss Juliet Cate Queen of the moon; Gonna get there soon, get there soon, get there soon. (Repeat till end) |

Well day by day
And night by night Wanna learn how to love you babe Till I get it right Yeah day by day and night by night Come on and join the dance I t goes round and round Until the things you've lost Become the things you've found Day by day and night by night Now piece by piece And bit by bit I can see the target I've got to try to hit Piece by piece and bit by bit. I tell you sweet singing sister Gonna love you till I'm blistered and blue Cos you're making what I'm shaking Harder than the big bamboo But although I'm digging singing babe I really have to sing it with you Sing it day by day And night by night? |

Watch her out there on display
Dancing in her sleepy way While all her visions start to play On the icicles of our decay. Fading flowers in her hair She's suffering from wear and tear She lies in waterfalls of dreams And never questions what it means. And all along the desert shore She wanders further evermore The only thing that's left to try… She says to live I have to die. She whispers sadly well I might And holds herself so very tight Then jumping from an unknown height She merges with the liquid night. Lovers wrap her mist in furs And tell her what she has is hers But when they take her by the hand She slips back in the desert sand. But what she leaves is made of glass And lovers worship as they pass Each one says - now she is mine But all drink solitary wine. (Drink it to Marlene) |

Famous parabolic versions
Songs that promise: Beauty, sleep, love, sadness Do I dream that something's missing? Hungry, thirsty, open off-peak mind Give me the truth, give me the truth, give me the truth, tell me... Songs and verses Handy captions Photographs of: Real-life action, horror, madness Can it be that something's happening? Wash me, paint me, but please don't taint me Give me a chance, give me chance, give me a chance... When I was young, the sky was blue And everyone knew what to do But now it's gone, the telly's here Mass media, the sewer too Universal maximillion Eight rare cases Chickenpox and crawling gladness Seemingly it's nothing happening Cure my doctor Don't swallow him down Give me the cure, give me the cure, give me the cure... The night was cool, the moon was bright The air was clear with oxygen The stars were there, and in my eyes Were thousands of chrysanthemums Don't use magnets ? Geophysics carry you back Wholesome, healthfood, homepride Satisfied Something outside gives out hunger Face my mirror Electricity... |

Woke up this morning
I went out on the street Sniffed a few flowers then I went back to sleep My head was cloudy but the sky was blue And I didn't feel lonely till I thought of you Later that evening I knocked on your door Asked how you're feel ing You said you weren't sure Took off your costume and you lay on the bed And I came down beside you with the moon in my head I whispered nothing sweetly in your ear I played the music that you like to hear I held you tightly but you slipped right through And I was left holding someone but I didn't know who Maybe I'm crazy and I'm lost in a dream Brothers and sisters you know what I mean You leave things open and get lost in the space And you have to keep running to keep out of this race |

So many problems, yet none at all
So many windows through every wall So many feelings you won't express So many failures you call success Don't let it get you down You cry over loosing, what you never really had Just remember the good times alongside the bad Remember that real love never disappears It is lost in a moment, it lasts for years Don't let it get you down Don't let it fool you in any way You know your tomorrow depends on today If you're carrying nothing it won't weigh you down You are the king and queen, you are the crown Don't let it get you down |

It's late in the evening
And the weather is cold I'm beginning to miss you But that story's so old I know I've been knocking My head on the wall And I must have been crazy To leave Oh yeah, yeah Strange kind of blues coloured moon Shines in the middle of my room. Sometimes I'm burning With a vision so bright That it brings on the sunshine In the middle of the night And all those musical ladies And the crazed young men They are trying to make music Together again? 0h no no And a strange kind of blues coloured moon Shines in the middle of my room. |

It's getting harder every time I have to say goodbye Oh fare you well So many feelings I know we share Like being here and wanting to be there And when you're asked where that is you Say you don't know It s just somewhere else and you have to go So you go You always go, where do you go So many choices you have to run Because when life is made too easy It s much harder to simply have fun Now you're always on the run You panic when someone tries to unfold you Scream for the dream that seems to hold you You want to give love but only on condition That it's on your terms and that position is lonely This I know Don't get me wrong I'm not pushing you down Or trying to change your mind Your problems are my problems too And I'm talking just as much to myself As I am to you Farewell again please come back someday It's getting harder every time I have to say goodbye Fare You Well Fare You Well Fare You Well |

There's not a lot to say
When you're feeling this way And you don't listen anyway You've got your own problems But listen to me, just this time It's something yours and it's something mine We must be close to the end of the line Let's try and get there together She said you have to learn she said To find somewhere outside of your head I said that would be fine I said But I'd rather be with you instead 'Cause when you're up they'll love you to death When you're down they'll steal your last breath They say goodbye and you say hello They say how are you but you just don't know |

Things that other people do, yeah From this heap of words and rhyme I never really gave much time to something just for you, yeah Oh Gemini child you know I love you I don't really have to tell you Cause you know damn well that I do Anyway it's not so much what I say as What I do for you girl So here's a song that I thought of long ago That really comes from you, yeah Gemini child, you make life come alive Suddenly there's so much living to share with you And I do Gemini child, you make life come alive Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you And I do Oh Gemini child you know I love you I don't really have to tell you Cause you know damn well that I do |
