Say You will, say you won’t Say you want me, say you don’t Say you coming home, say you’re gone Say you wanna sleep alone Say you’re happy, say your crossed Say you’re an angel, Say you’re ghost Say it’s time for our final toast Say you’re ready and I’m lost Say it in English, Say it Greek Put your mind to it Come on baby, made it stick It’s OK … anyway, I’ll stay Say you’re now a vegetarian Say you’re only eating fruits Say you wanna be a presbyterian Say you’re for killing all the jews

When I (first) saw you You were all dressed in white Nothing much was said As we boarded the flight Twenty minutes into the storm You reached for a bag ‘bout to fall Then I saw your panties You were wearing none at all Now it's seven days and seven nights And I can’t get you out of my mind I’ve been touring, sold out, out of sight Not a face I recognize I got people calling me Ask me to sing, to be free But I can’t get you out of my mind So I’m not wearing underwear at all That’s the way it’s gonna been Right now, in another world It’s just you and me

I’ve been called unlucky I’ve been called a fool I’ve been called lonesome And I’ve been crying for you I’ve been called chaseman And hangman, from the roof ‘Cause I’ve been looking out for somewhat Who looks quite like you Ain’t it true, when people call me a fool Ain’t it true, ‘cause I’ve been out of a search, for you I’ve been spending my life and dime Around these parts of town I’ve been called shameless For running ‘round at night I’ve been called breathless For screaming out: “You’re Mine!” I’ve been cold, away from home And sleeping on the floor Yes, I’ve been called many names But I ain’t seen you name before This town got the best of us Or some I’m told This time I’m gonna run Let the story of our love be old Now I’m growing tired Of running around I’ve seen the best of friends go by There were hunted down I have no wishes to complain This town game me no sunshine and rain After all All I got was pain So it's goodbye my loved ones Something will remain Perhaps this song, or something else It wouldn’t be the same Nothing will transpire From the all the mounds I’ve seen Nothing but a liar And a pants chaser through the years

It was a night, a perfect night And I was looking for you Did not know where you are, or what you looked like But I was wanting you It was a night, a perfect night And I was feeling you You know, it's been a while, we’ve grown apart I guess you felt that too It was a night, the best of nights And I was dreaming too I could not tell my left from my right Wherever I looked, I saw you It was a night, a perfect night And I was playing the fool You know, it’s been some time, we messed around I guess you’ve been there too It was a night, our very last night And I was fleeting too I saw you running, tights and all Were you as scared as I was too? It was a night, a perfect night We had it all, but lost A game is played but once, not twice I guess you knew that too

They came in, with their new cars / Their caravans, their costly bikes Their guitars all shining / With bridges made of tusk Old models and new / All name plated in gold Their straps without a dent / No stories have they told And the melodies they played / Were pretty, fast and sleek No chord was out of place / No string did miss a pick Their private schooling showed / Through the starch-marks of their shirts Their boots were clean as new / Not ever have seen dirt The ladies were all versed / In the art of the mystique No tooth has gone missing / 'beneath their lips of red lipstick And although picking was not their game / They sure could read and rhyme At least enough, so it seemed / For poetry of old times But when he played, he set upright / His muddy boots ajar His fingernails all dirty / From working on his car His timeworn nylon strings / Were probably a century old But no one took a breath / As the music stories told "I was not but a child of six / Then living on a boat When a neighbor gave me a gramophone / I might be musical, he thought And so, from Bach harmony I learnt / From Mozart and Beethoven parts to sort From Schubert the art of love / and from my dad a dozen different knots We moved around a lot / School boys of many I fought By the age of fifteen / I was nimble as a mountain goat A vessel of the sea / I will build me, I thought And so for the pound / The streets with music I hawked And now, I'm here / Nor am I schooled or vessel gained And unlike most of you / I have rambled a-many in the rain But my back it is strong / My music it is real My senses are alive / The turning of the seasons I still feel You may think you're trained, polished, taught But the art of living is not with money bought But by doing the essentials, thinking bare thoughts By picking apples from the ground, before they all rot So stand up, go outside, into the cold And pay no heed to fear or pain, your souls are almost done for and sold So you may forget me now, or forever me scold But live your life, be you young or old And now I will leave you, I will depart 'Cause you, for me, there is no fresh start The car still needs me, to repair So-long friends, be well, do not despair" So gazing sadly, they all got up Picked up their instruments, cases now shut And bowed farewell to the host, the owner of the hut A meek and quiet creature, by the name of Bart

Your sister, she’s heavy, She rides like the sun Flaming tattoos On every arm The tiles of her face They look like a gun So isn't it surprising You can’t feel no one She said she will marry To some rich man Who’ll give her everything That she can ever name Now she rides on his horses Straight into the dark One day she’ll find out What its all about Its like being alone, alone in the dark Its like running away, away from your past Its like running away, away from a dart One day she remembers How it used to be She would ride on his horses Into the sea She would climb on his mountain And reach for his gold And swallow him whole Like he was a frog Its like being alone, alone in the dark Its like running away, away from your past Its like running away, away from a dart ‘Cause that’s just the way Things here get done By running around By selling your crown You think that you riding On top … but you are … You’re just chasing a dream Breathless and scarred Oh … isn’t it a pitty That people are affriad Of the very thing They’re supposed to be Still, sometimes she recalls All the moments they had When he held her in his arms And whispered instead Saying: “Please dear Won’t you listen to me … I got nothing to say ‘cause my heart it is free” Its like being alone, alone in the dark Its like running away, away from your past Its like running away, away from a dart The story continued For many long years They’d been riding along Way up on the hills they’ve been swimming in place That no one could hear When she longed for her soul He said come on dear ...

Forever ain't easy to come by For always ain't never to sure For certain is less than you hoped for For someone it's hard to endure Forsaken must sometimes befall us For sorrow sometimes will call Four seasons go around on a pinwheel And tomorrow ain't nothin' at all The first time that I came by lovin' Forever was all on my mind And I never got used to the hurting Or the searchin' for some love in kind And it seems like I'm still chasing rainbows It seems like I'm still on the run Forever don't mean much in passing Forgotten don't mean that it's done Forever, for always, for certain' For someone forsaken for sure For any old plan you got workin' For any old pain you can cure Forever, for always, for certain' For someone forsaken for sure For any old time that you're hurtin' For all of the love in the world For any old time that you're hurtin' For all of the love in the world
