Dudu Pukwana: piano, alto sax, horn arrangement
Simon Nicol: rythm guitar Dave Pegg: bass Mike Kowalski: drums Call me diamond, call me gold I have been bought, been sold I've been hung up, been laid been exalted, been betrayed I've been killed, I have been maimed I've been freed, been tamed. Oh, come on, come on, dig my mine. Oh, come on, come on kiss me, kiss me all along my spine. Call me diamond, call me gold Been in the fire so hot, been in the ice so cold Been in the summer, winter, spring and fall Been in the everything, I've been in the nothing at all. |

Richard Thomson: lead guitar
Rose Simpson: bass Dave Mattacks: drums Sweet love the words that made you cry They came from one that don't have love like we do Even if you'd give him all your sweet love Probably turn his back and walk away, Lookin' for a trick and he wouldn't understand That you just want to stretch out your hand You know he's closed himself to all the grief and pain that he can't stand And he's bound his heart with an iron band Come dry your tears like the sun dries the rain Deep is the river running through my life Full shines the sun upon it The girl I love swims there all day long You know she is bright as the flowers of the forest The tender tears in your smiling eyes They meld me right to my soul We have to part now for a while But our lives will cross for ever You'll bless every place you pass through So much good in all you do. I can't understand how anyone could hurt you so bad So sad to see them hide from what they are Me I know you like I know the song in my soul It's gonna be all right |

Audrey my dear, I've been waitin' so long for you girl Won't you let it all come on through Tonight won't you come and make love to me Oh Audrey my dear Just look at us, walin' in the snowy street with our collars ut I don't want to go to another party, 'cos I've had enough And you, you look so lovely, I want very much To take your clothes off and hold you very close Someplace where it's quiet enough To feel our love a-growin. |

Lately I've seen your face come close in on mine like sunshine
Lately I've heard your voice come close in on mine like sunshine And I know your life is running close to me Peacocks in the first, kokilas in the fifth Sing like Jayadeva Ma lati, Madhava, how close Brindaban |

John Cale: piano, guitar, bass, viola, vocal arrangement
Simon Nicol: guitar Gecry Conway: drums Sue Sunny, Liza Strike, John Cale: backing vocals When winter came this year she found me well prepared for her The flame well fed with pine, shuttered windows oakwood doors From the low dales come the fiddler, gave his tunes their flight Don't know her name or the dance that became her so well From topmost limb of night's dark tree Tonight my lantern light floats free The ladies danced so well, the ladies danced so light But it was not mortal step drew me from my guests to meet the night Snow lies deep with friends unseen I will light my eyes to Venus green Holding my life with a hope When the midnight skies rise, She flies--- |

John Cale: piano, harmonium, brass arrangement
Pat Donaldson: bass Gerry Conway: drums Tony Cox: VCS 3 Soft lapped the bark boats A wounded shoulder hurt me not Snake - like branches quietly hid my eyes so bright in the swamp-red sun Soft edged the foreign words Coloured by the dark waves splash in the mist Brown the breasts and purple-stained Dye deep-pounded with the stone The warm wind now lifts the haze I looked and I caught my breath And I raised my head up high And I shouted out loud in my soul Beautiful stranger I'm glad I found you Bright the sky above my head Streaked with red and yellow wing Warm the mud between my toes Darkest green the inland trail Distant now the bark boats Golden beads on silver wire of sea Long bathed by salty spray Visions float on the dry earths smell Drifting back through younger days I looked and I caught my breath And I shouted out loud in my soul Beautiful stranger I'm glad I found you Moist and cool the river bank Laid me down against a tree Remembering as in a dream Shoulder cut in the dark waves splash In that place no wound there was Only a ring of finest bronze there gleamed Soft lapped the back boats Brown the breasts and purple stained River green reflect the gaze I looked and I caught my breath And I raised my head up high And I shouted out loud in my soul Beautiful stranger I'm glad I found you |

No turing back I gave a small cry
Stirring in your sleep you caught my thought So close and so far is a bad way to leave you Once more the sea shore dry Next time around lover Next time around redeemer Next time around saviour We'll put our love together and sing Remember, through it all I loved you And you knew I loved you So it wasn't such a bad one Son it wasn't such a bad one No brother but Oh - next time around |

I paid for a plow, it was heavy as lead.
Tired in my body, I wished for a bed. When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything is mine. When I lay claim to nothing... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. King Jesus he wispered,'It is not so far' and Buddha declared, 'It is right where you are'. Oh tell me how many tears have you cried, Tell me how many... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. The things that you claim are the things you will be, and the actions of now are tomorrow's memory. So buy for a million, sell for a dime. Buy for a million... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Somebody tells you the world's all wrong, and somebody tells you the road is so long. And if you have an argument please see your mind. If you have an argument... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. The man on the corner is singing the blues, and the man in the office is studying the news. So you're looking for trouble, so trouble you'll find. So you're looking for trouble... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. I used to have to wind up my clockwork heart and my face was addicted and I did not feel part. So look at the end act, see my secret crime. Look at the end act... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time |
