Amnesty is a big billboard, a flashing billboard, to the rest of the world that we don't really mean our immigration law.

Whatever It Takes
Well, I've been drawing little hearts in the morning paper
Lookin' for a house an' a couple of acres
You'll be mine some time, sooner or later and I can't wait
Like a busy ol' bee savin' up it's honey
Honey I'm savin' up all my money
To have you I'll do anything I have to, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes to win your love
I hire me an airplane, have it paint your name up in the sky above
I tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes.
Well I've been yellin' your name from a lookout mountain
Tossing my pennies in a downtown fountain
Makin' my wishes I'm hopin' they're countin' for love's sake
I swim upstream in a ragin' river
Walk through fire do you get the picture
I swear I bare anything to get there Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes to win your love
I hire me an airplane, have it paint your name up in the sky above
I tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes to win your love
I hire me an airplane, have it paint your name up in the sky above
Yeah I tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes.
Well if it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes.

Billboard
Mammoth billboard
Towering in the sky
Rising sun
Golden clouds
Wonderful birds that fly
Tree tops with buds of spring
The whole panorama
Obscured from view.
The message's clear and bold
Passing it for the umpteenth time
Attacks the subconscious
A beautiful damsel ever smiling
"Try casino for luck, " it says
The mega-million mania
Triggers the mind.
Oh! Mighty billboard
Foundation and the structure
Multi-storeyed marvel
Announcing man's triumph
Nature hides in shame
And I wonder
"What an achievement! "

I'm very new to the industry. I'm not on the Billboard 200 and that is alarming to me. But when I sat down with my management they said it's not a big deal and that it happens all the time.

I'd just hit the Billboard thing, and I had a good feeling. About a month ago, I received a call that said I was in the running, that I'd made the final 25. So I just wanted to place.

Amnesty Is Granted
Loves an hourglass.
It goes out wide then it comes in closer.
It drifts away leaving empty shattered moments.
Who said that love could last forever.
Im growin tired of feelin like I do.
As we drift apart.
Little secerts come between us.
As we sail away.
Feelin comfort in the distance.
You said that love would last forever.
Neither one of us will ever surrender.
Theres a time.
Theres a place.
A change of heart.
About face.
This is about love.
Its about forgiveness.
Tell me now -
Tell me like it is.
You dont have to give -
Amnesty is granted.
Whats done is done for everyone.
Come on baby let start again right now.
Amnesty, amnesty, amnesty is granted.
Yeah, I think a lot.
Yeah I been thinkin a lot.
I been thinkin about you baby.
Lord knows Ive been thinkin about you.
Ive been thinkin that love would last forever.
Neither one of us will ever surrender.
Theres a time.
Theres a place.
A change of heart.
About face.
This is about love.
Its about forgiveness.
Tell me now -
Tell me like it is.

Well done is done for everyone.
Come on baby let start again right now.

Return To Sender
Well I want to return to my sender
Well I want to return
There is so much that I cant remember
But theres so much to choose
We are laying the tracks for the company
Across all space and all time
Any insinkerator will remind you
What can happen to you
Theres a billboard as high as a mountain
Neon lights up the hill
Cast no shadow and leave no traces
We are grist for the mill
Hold me control me into the arms we fall
Sugar the future sale of the century
Trying to turn the world around
Trying to turn the world around
Ive come to turn your world around.

Black Crow Blues
I woke in the mornin, wandrin,
Wasted and worn out.
I woke in the mornin, wandrin,
Wasted and worn out.
Wishin my long-lost lover
Will walk to me, talk to me,
Tell me what its all about.
I was standin at the side road
Listenin to the billboard knock.
Standin at the side road
Listenin to the billboard knock.
Well, my wrist was empty
But my nerves were kickin,
Tickin like a clock.
If I got anything you need, babe,
Let me tell you in front.
If I got anything you need, babe,
Let me tell you in front.
You can come to me sometime,
Night time, day time,
Any time you want.
Sometimes Im thinkin im
Too high to fall.
Sometimes Im thinkin
Im too high to fall.
Other times Im thinkin im
So low I dont know
If I can come up at all.
Black crows in the meadow
Across a broad highway.
Black crows in the meadow
Across a broad highway.
Though its funny, honey,
I just dont feel much like a
Scarecrow today.

Amnesty
(doumas)
Love is the sweetest amnesty
Floats like a cloud between the sky and sea
Ill give it to you
Could you please give it to me
Love is the sweetest amnesty
Given by the powers
Then let us be
Ill give it to you
Could you please give it to me
cause I need you
We can talk
We can see
If we disagree we do it honestly
Let our lovin be
The sweetest amnesty
Between you and me
Theres bound to be
Some conscientious objection
Our spirits dressed in mystery
Speak solely through affection
Repeat
Verse 1
Cos I need you (need you)
Chorus
Let our lovin be
The sweetest amnesty

White Noise Maker
You know I hear a lot of talk
So Im headed for the stereo store
To get a white noise maker and turn it up to ten
Or maybe the interior
Of somewhere like siberia
Yeah, the yak is back again
Like harvest moon oer my head
Yes, it was
That billboard prose shining on me
And it shines because
Its been so long since my telstar
I hope it crashes in the sea
Or maybe the interior
Of somewhere like siberia
Yakety-yak is back again
You know I hear a lot of talk
So Im headed for the stereo store
To get a white noise maker and turn it up to ten
Like harvest moon oer my head
Yes, it was
That billboard prose shining on me
And it shines because
Its been so long since my telstar
I hope it crashes in the sea

Sentimental amnesty(a dream) .
I had a dream.
It seemed so real and believable.
As they do.
The Beatles had reformed.
George wasn`t dead.
John`s death was being re-enacted,
In absurd versions 1-3.
For your consumption and acceptance!
Ringo had pulled them together,
As always.
But after all it was a dream,
Wasn`t it?
A new poster was telling all.
Shining bright, a fresh beacon of hope.
Amid the grim horizon
The excitement of that tangible.
The peace movement
Wasn`t economically marginalised and sidelined.
A sentimental amnesty
The world seemed kinder and
More knowledgeable
Than now,
Of the planet`s chances
Of survival.
As dreams
Often will.
A sentimental amnesty.
My mother was laughing!
About a friend of hers i had met.
I was justifying
A night out.
Trying to cover up
My inner demons.
A sentimental amnesty
Was on the throne
For all to believe in.

That the Iraqi Government is considering a political deal granting amnesty to insurgents who have attacked or killed American service members is not just shocking - the idea of amnesty for insurgents is an outrage.

Looking ba-a-ack over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
Id never make that same mistake again
Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just ha-ad the chance
Id never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in retu-u-urn
Now I cant begin to te-ell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking ba-a-ack over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But I know, oh yes I know
Id never make that same mistake again

Ariel
Ariel
Oh troubled world what will be done?
What will happen if Ariel dies?
Will we settle into sleep?
relieved of his bluster and contempt,
spared from his smile which could be
no less sincere.
Will we escape the narrow eyes?
of a man who has never lived
with clean hands.
Will we coast into Bethlehem?
in the middle of Passover
our spirits crushed
by the wailing
of hired mourners
and a dirge of device and reparations.
Will the clanking of armor
ever cease under his dread auspices,
the noise of war and wailing,
of endless speech and curses.
Will the sands accept him?
as he sinks like the corner of a billboard
or a ragged running fence lost in drift.
Will his echo reverberate in stucco houses?
built atop catastrophe and eviction
which may as well have been built of mud
and straw and stand longer
The jagged world of Palestine will not miss him
for they have suffered him.

They try to tell us were too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word weve only heard
But cant begin to know the meaning of
And yet were not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet were not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
