Seven Watchmen
1918
Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower,
Watching what had come upon mankind,
Showed the Man the Glory and the Power,
And bade him shape the Kingdom to his mind.
"All things on Earth your will shall win you."
('Twas so their council ran)
" But the Kingdom--the Kingdom is within you,"
Said the Man's own mind to the Man.
For time--and some time--
As it was in the bitter years before
So it shall be in the over-sweetened hour--
That a man's mind is wont to tell him more
Than Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower.

I Wont Mind
I dont mind
If you steal my last dime
Just leave me anytime
And Ill get, get along fine
I dont really know why
But I know Ill get by
If I dont Ill die tryin
If it rains again
Im gonna fly to the sun
cause nothing gets done
Just sitting, sitting around
Look at the way its been
Just waitin and wonderin
Ive just got to keep trying
Looking for gold in the sky
Gets kinda rough
Maybe Im to blame
cause I didint look hard enough
But I still get the feeling
That it shouldnt be so tough
So I wont mind, i, I wont mind
I wont mind, i, I wont mind
So I wont mind
I, no, I wont mind
I wont mind, i, said I wont mind

Sitting In The Palmtree
See me sitting in the palmtree
Looking down at people passing by
Sitting here no-one can harm me
They just stare at me and wonder why
No need to bother, Im gonna stay up here
Whatever happens, I wont let no-one near
Until you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind, wont you please
You really love me, jeanie jeanie youre so fine, yes you are now
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
Ill be the bluest of men in this town
cause I love you, jeanie jeanie on my mind
See me sitting in the palmtree
Waiting for those little words from you
People laugh and point their fingers
Like I was a monkey at the zoo
But I will stay here, among my coconuts
So you will know dear, youre everything Ive got
Now wont you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind
Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window
Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please
See me sitting in the palmtree
Feeling angry at the silly crowd
No-one else but you can calm me
You should know by now Im far too proud
I need to show you, Ive got my feelings too
You shouldnt treat me like you always do
So wont you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind, wont you please
You really love me, jeanie jeanie youre so fine, yes you are now
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
Ill be the bluest of men in this town
cause I love you, jeanie jeanie on my mind
Jeanie jeanie youre so fine
Jeanie jeanie on my mind
Jeanie jeanie youre so fine
Jeanie jeanie on my mind
Jeanie jeanie youre so fine

A Tower Name
The Lord’s name
Power name
A tower name
A strong name
And power-tower name
A strong tower, the name
A safe place, the name
Good in every situation, the name
Has unmatched power, the name
And a place of fortification, the name
When spiritually attacked, to the name run
When the past foibles clouds the mind, to the name run
When disappointed, to the name run
When failure cripples in, to the name run
And when tempted, to the name run
In the name, security
In the name, safety
In the name, peace
In the name, strong power
And in the name, a strong tower
A strong tower, strong refuge
A strong tower, stout defense
A strong tower, powerful protection
A strong tower, shield from the past
And a strong tower, enemy at bay to put
Whatever enemy offensive, call the name
Like Joseph, make a dash to the name
So portable, so wherever, the tower name
A refuge from doubt, selfishness, malice
And a shelter from slenderness, loneliness, envy and the like
So as the devil launches attack
A run to the tower name make
Call upon the power name
Stay in the power-tower
And watch him, sulking away
The Bible assures us: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Prov.18: 10, KJV) .

Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you dont
Wanna be mine
Say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you wont
Be mine tonight

Feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes

Cant get you out of my mind no matter how hard I try
So wont you
Say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you wont
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
I get the feeling Ive never been here before
cause no one Ive knowns ever moved me the way
That you do
And I know this is the real thing
Its all Ive been searching for

That way too

Say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you dont
Wanna be mine

Say you will, you say you wont
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will
Youll be mine tonight

Will you tell me how much I mean to you
Will you say you always will be true
I need more than a come-on sign
So wont you say you will be mine
Now wont you say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you will
Make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
Come on come on
Say you will make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight

Tower Of London
Let me take you to trafalgar square
Let me take you there
Every streets a fashion catwalk
Everyones debonair
Let me take you to piccadilly
Guess it leads somewhere
Tower over centuries, tower over london
Tower up and frankly Im amazed
Whats done cannot be undone, not here not in london
Whats done can never be erased
So, tower up! - its those little things
Make life interesting- tower of london!
Tower up! - wasting time
Yours and mine - tower of london!
Hip london! hip london!
Let me take you to st.jamess square
Let me groove you there
Diplomats get target practice
In the open air
Psychobillies scream blue murder
Then they hit mayfair
Tower over centuries, tower over london
Tower up and frankly Im amazed
Whats done cannot be undone, not here not in london
Whats done can never be erased
So, tower up! - its those little things
Make life interesting- tower of london!
Tower up! - wasting time
Precious time - tower of london!
Tower up! Ill meet you there
Ill be there - tower of london
New york! - dont make me laugh

No Sense
Feelin fine
The fire wont burn out
Taste the sign
The trees wont come out
Seeing traffic driving by
Maybe you wont see me again
cause Im needed
Needed more and more every day
Someone takes my mind away
Tells me that its time to go
You wanna help me
As Im fallin down
I dont need you
Lies they wont surface
Your mind it wanders on over
Again
Someone take on my mind
Im losin you in time
Maybe that man hes standing by me
My head wont take this all alone
Someone they wanna tell you
Maybe you would suffer
Tell me once again Im under cover
Someone wanna feel like
Someone wants to feel like
I dont need you
Your lies they wont surface
Your mind it wanders
Oh over again
Shoudl I dose my eyes again
Once again
Maybe someone will come and rescue me
Should I beg your forgiveness
Yes Ive fallen on my own
Someone take a picture
Put your camera away
Someone take today as traffic passes by
Never see
You never see it all
I dont need you
Your lies they wont surface
Your mind it wanders oh over, again
I dont need you
Your lies they wont surface
My mind it wanders oh over again
No sense

Mind Your Own Business
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
If the [d] wife and I are fussin, brother thats our right
cause me and that sweet womans got a license to fight [d7]
Why dont you [g7] mind your own business
(mind [d] your own business)
cause if mind [a7] your business, then you wont be mindin [d] mine.
Oh, the woman on our party lines the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows its my ring
Why dont you mind your own business
(mind your own business)
Well, if mind your business, then you wont be mindin mine.
If my woman stay out til two or three
Now, brother thats my headache, dont you worry bout me.
Just mind your own business

If mind your business, then you wont be mindin mine.
If I get my head beat black and blue
Now thats my wife and my stove wood too
Just mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you wont be mindin mine.
I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,
The boys all whistel when she walks bye.
Mind your own buisness blah blah, you sure wont be minding mine.
Mindin other peoples business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why dont you mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, youll stay busy all the time.

You Want Me To Listen But You Don't
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
Undivided is my mind,
When giving you time.
But to that you don't listen and you wont!
When I'm there and able,
You don't think I'm capable.
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!
Every morning and at dawn,
Sing you do that same sad song.
'Nobody loves me.'
And...
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You can decide to have a change of heart.
But to that you don't listen and you wont!
Everyday there's a new way,
You can move or choose to stay.
But to that you don't listen and you wont,
And don't!
'Nobody loves me.'
You want me to listen,
But you don't or wont.
You want me to listen,
But you don't!

Mind
Time wont change you
Money wont change you
I havent got the faintest idea
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
I need something you change your mind
Drugs wont change you
Religion wont change you
Science wont change you
Looks like I cant change you
I try to talk to you, to make things clear
But youre not even listening to me...
And it comes directly from my heart to you...
I need something to change your mind.

Light My Way
In my hour of need
On the sea of grey
On my knees
I prey to you
Help me find the bones of the dying dead
Will you light my way
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
The bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to theres
To this I remain
And unwilling to listen to your answers
And Im not ashamed to tell you I need you today
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
And so when Im lost
And Im tired and depressed
And when my mind goes astray
Wont you light my way
Dont save it for another day
Dont save it for another day
Hey! dont save it for another day
Hey! dont save it for another day
Hey! dont save it for another day
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way
Wont you light my way

They Wont See You
Lets have a party, lets go insane
Lets dance and party, out in the rain
Lets tell the crew, weve broken their brains
I know they will laugh, until they get sick
Theyre caught in the act, stuck in the thick
Lets go to the warsaw and try to find peace
Lets call up the queen and bother her niece
Lets really drink up and pile on the crease
They say youll be back,
But dont come too near
They have the attack if you disappear
But they wont see you
(the wont see you)
I said they wont see you
(they wont see you)
They wont see you
(they wont see you)
Lets have a trauma, lets have a shock
Lets stare at the tv and relate to spock
Lets never answer the novelty knock
They get so upset when you come around
They wont let you forget until you come down
They wont see you (they wont see you)
I said they wont see you (they wont see you)
They wont see you (they wont see you)
I said they wont see you (they wont see you)
They wont see you (they wont see you)
They wont see you, they wont see you

You Wont See Me Cry
(joe falsia/stephen sinclair)
We were special people
Feeling perfect love
Protected by each other
Like a hand inside a glove
Now you say youre leavin
As you wave goodbye
You wont see me cry
You wont see me cry
Taking things for granted
Drove us both apart
Fell into a pattern
But I fell and lost the heart
Isnt it a pity
That we didnt try
But you wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry
You wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry
Maybe I will write you
Someday I may phone
To see if youre survivin
Living all alone
You know that I still love you
Of that I cannot lie
But you wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry
You wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry

A Poet's Mind To You
The drinking of wine and the eating of meat,
Your red stew is sweet and your lovely meat is tasty;
But incline your ear to me and come to me,
For i am like the spider with a poet's mind to you.
The mystery name of Saturn is like a message to you,
For the watchmen upon the walls of love are all asleep;
So wake up my love and live now with the truth around you.
The heavens are higher than the earth and like,
A poet's mind to you at this side of the river;
But wake up and be aware of the things around you,
And like my thoughts and my mind towards you!
Why do you labour for that which will not satisfy you?
Oh dyed garments of Bozrah! !
For the healing prophetess is at hand;
And i will see you when the rain comes in.
Swell with joy and hope for your dreams,
For all the trees will clap their hands when you succeed!
But the pagan symbols through the deep are about to stop you,
And like the intiation rites for a chief in your homeland.
This is a poet's mind to you,
But Herod's birthday brought the head of john on a plate;
And my ways and thoughts will surely wake you up one day.
You are upon a lofty and a high mountain without a clue,
And as a young man marries a virgin girl;
But like Pharaoh's birthday with a dream,
The rain came down like the snow in the winter time.
Why should you spend money on what is not bread?
And like the lightening which is accompanied by the rain;
For your red stew is very sweet and your meat is very tasty,
But the watchmen upon the walls of love are all asleep.

Ben Boyd's Tower
Ben Boyd's Tower is watching—
Watching o’er the sea;
Ben Boyd’s Tower is waiting
For her and me.
We do not know the day,
We do not know the hour,
But we know that we shall meet
By Ben Boyd’s Tower.
Moonlight peoples Boyd Tower,
Mystic are its walls;
Lightly dance the lovers
In its haunted halls.
Ben Boyd’s Tower is watching—
Watching o’er the foam;
Ben Boyd’s Tower is waiting
Till the “Wanderer” comes home.
O! he lay above us—
High above the surf—
Finger-nails and toe-caps
Digging in the turf.
We do not know the day,
We do not know the hour,
But Two and Two shall meet again
By Ben Boyd’s Tower.
There’s an ancient dame in Eden—
Basket on her arm—
And she goes down the Main Street
From the old, old farm.
Hood drawn on her forehead—
Withered dame and grey—
She never looks on Boyd Tower
Out across the Bay.
Bright eyes in the ballroom,
Coquetting with two,
Just for love of mischief,
As a girl will do.
A quarrel in the bar-room—
All within the hour—
And four men rode from Boyd Town
To Ben Boyd’s Tower.

Wont Take No For An Answer
Words and music by rick nielsen
Hey wait a minute
Youre a little lost
Things keep on changing
And so does the cost
Of doin business with yourself
Dont want nobody else, no
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no from you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no, no, no, no
Hey mister sister
Leave me alone
Today kids dont grow up
They just grow alone
Guess you know how bad I felt
When you were with somebody else, oh
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no from you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no, no, no, no
Hey
You
Hey, hey you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no from you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont no
I wont no for an answer
I wont no (for an answer)

Counting on my luck
Counting on my luck
~
I’m sitting here looking at your picture
Remembering a memory we shared together
I find myself smiling like never before
Trying to work out how we got together
You’re a blessing a change in my luck
And I’m wondering almost afraid
If this feeling will ever change
So I wont rest on my laurels
I wont sit here just counting my luck
I’ll try and do those little things
Which seem to mean so much to you
I’ll see you smile and here you laugh
Try and put a skip into your step
Tell you all the words you deserve to hear
And know more important how I mean them
You came to me when I most needed you
Now I’ll be anywhere and do anything
Just to prove to you how honest my heart is
How when I say I think your beautiful
I also mean a special kind of amazing
I’m sitting here thinking of you
Trying not to count my luck

Change Your Mind
Maurice white, brenda russell & bill meyers
You said youve had it
With insensitive guys
Not keepin their promise
And telling sweet lies
When he stopped callin
All of your dreams fell though
Ive seen you troubled
Ive seen you cry
I think I know
How to treat you right
I just wanna give my sweet love to you
How can I change your mind
I got so much to show you
If you give me the time
I could change your mind
It wont be the same
The suns gonna shine
How can I change your mind
I got so much to show you
If you give me the time
I could change your mind
It wont be the same
The suns gonna shine
Im here to tell you
Were not all the same
For what Im guilty
Ill take the blame
Its important to you
Have a love thats real
I wont be unfaithful
I wont be unkind
Independently trusting
Is this heart of mine
Ill keep it comin
And that is the deal
I want to change your mind
I got so much to show you
If you give me the time
I could change your mind
It wont be the same
The suns gonna shine
Gonna shine-
I, i, Im gonna
Change your mind
