On Your Special Day

Wake up early morning for your special day
To see things wishing you well in their ways
And telling it's your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad

And bright sun rising and wishing you well
By giving you happiness that no one can sell
And telling its your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad

And small feathered creatures singing youi a song
That today is your birthday so nothing can go wrong
And telling it's your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad

And blooming flowers spreading its fragrance for you
To wish you happiness that surely is true
And telling its your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad.

Winterwood

(mclean)
No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that Im right
Theres no place Id rather be
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground
And for the first time Ive been seeing
The things Ive never noticed without you
And for the first time Im discovering
The things I used to treasure about you
Birds like leaves on winterwood
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
Theyve learned to live life as they should
They are at peace with natures ways
You are as natural as the night
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath your light
Are like the birds on winterwood
And for the first time Ive been seeing
The things Ive never noticed without you
And for the first time Im discovering
The things I used to treasure about you

If I told you

Telling grey clouds

Telling silent birds

Telling tall trees

These things

That have lain waste

This winter soil

That binds its roots around the dead

Telling all who will listen

Who will hear

That it loved once, lived here

Underneath the shape of things

Felt breathed love.

If I had told you

Only you,

Would you still be here?

Still, in love?

Only You Know & I Know

We know you really only wanna hear
The things we like to say
But if I said to you please dont do it
You do it anyway
Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel
Be cruel to be kind
When I ask you, what you see in me
You say our love is blind
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself
I open up and give you everything
Then you say, o.k. what else
And when I run away you always cry
You always over react
But I dont know if you know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Just try to remember
Now Im the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
Im the one youre always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember
Its not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say, yes
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know...

Aigis

The day of small things and the day of big things,
Like the plume in the hand of Zerubbabel;
But, i am a sower of righteousness in Babylon.

The day of beautiful things and the day of handsome things,
Like a man clothed in linen;
But my hands are towards heaven with love,
And i will love you like the Queen's Valley.

Aigis my love,
Of such luminaries around us;
But do have one voice on this love.

Things Are Getting Better

Well I worked for a week and I got no pay.
(things getting better.)
Well my babys coming back home to stay
(things getting better.)
Well shes coming back home, but I havent got a dime
(things getting better.)
But Ive got my love to keep me fine[? ].
(things getting better.)
Oh-oh
Things getting better.
Things getting better.
Well since my babys been away,
(things getting better.)
Well things got worse from day to day.

Well now my babys come back to me.

Yeah, itll get better, wait and see.
(things getting better.)
Oh-oh

Things getting better.
Oh-oh

Well I pawned my watch and I sold my car.

The money Ive got wouldnt get me far.

But I dont mind now that youve packed.

Its a fact, that
Things getting better.
Things getting better.
Oh-oh
Things getting better.

Mmm...I Like Those Low Things!

I like those low things!
Those distractions that attract.
The ones glimpsed when passed...
That capture and grasp,
When looking back.
With a smacking of the lips,
And receiving a tease for 'that'.

I like those low things...
That satisfy as a snack.
Those things one gives up,
To stay on a diet.
The ones that puts pounds,
On one's back.

Those things when eaten...
Convinces until I'm trapped!
Telling my mind...
Just a taste will not make me,
Or anyone
Notice an inch of sweated fat.

Sneaking pieces to munch,
I do alone at home!
While telling others they should avoid,
Going near that crap.
As a satisfaction inside me moans.
Although with a bit of guilt...
I secretly condone!

I like those low things...
To nibble before I nap!
And at the early crack of dawn,
I make sure I'm not seen,
Exercising off my temptations.
Struggling with attempts, I do
To keep myself lean!
Feeling a self condemnation.
Oh...
How I like those low things!

What is she doing?

'Good Morning, Ms Barclay.
No thank you.
No breakfast for me.
I am on a very strict regimen.
Have a good day! '

My goodness!
Why is she cooking those...
Virginia sausages!
OUTSIDE?
And at this hour?

Mmm...
I like those low things!
And the fulfillment,
Those low things bring.

Sick & Tired

I feel it, there's tension inside of me
Pressure is presently pushing down on me
The first time it starts with just you and I'm
Repeating myself but you don't hear me
I can see what you see
But is it worth it to me?
The same old conversation
Over and over and over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over
You've taken these things that belong to me
Twisted so tightly and torn so carefully
The last time it ends with just you and I
Alone in a room with these torn bed sheets
I can see what you see
And it ain't worth it to me
The same old conversation
Over and over and over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over
You swore that I'd regret it
Now thanks to you I can't forget it
Cost of this constant battle
Won't even miss you at all
Free from those lies that you call...
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over

Doin' The Things That We Want To

The other night we went to see Sam's play
doin' the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
doin' the things that he wants to
Doin' the things that he wants to
The guy's a cowboy from some rodeo
doin' the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
doin' the things that she wants to
Doin' the things that she wants to
The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
doin' the things that they want to
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
doin' the things that they want to
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
doin' the things that they want to
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
doin' the things that they want to
Doin' the things that they want to
hey
It reminds me of the movies Marty made about New York
(doin' the things that he wants to)
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(doin' the things that he wants to)
";True Love"; meet ";The Raging Bull";
(doin' the things that he wants to)
They're very inspirational, I love the things they do
(doin' the things that he wants to)
Doin' the things that I want to
There's not much you hear on the radio today
(doin' the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(doin' the things that we want to)
Here's to ";Travis Bickle"; and here's ";Johnny Boy";
(doin' the things that we want to)
Growing up in the Mean Streets of New York
(doin' the things that we want to)
I wrote this song 'cause I'd like to shake your hand
(doin' the things that we want to)

Things I Can Change

a lot of things i can change...
the coffee filter,
the trash bag, the razor
on the sink.
the sheets on the bed,
my pants, the book i'm reading.
the things i watch,
the things i say,
sometimes the things i feel.
the things i eat,
what i drink, what i smoke.
a lot of things i can change...
but not the hands on the clock,
or the knock on the door!

That Keeps Me Reminded

I wont be the one found,
Trying to re-invent new methods...
To exist without expressing insanity.
Not me.
There is too much to adventure.
Plus...
And I am discovering many of them.
There is something about the old ways,
Of doing things...
That keeps me reminded,
It is not that bad to be considered 'nuts'.
And out of touch from the accepted,
'Normalcy'...
Of those things today presented.

Cant Stay Away From You

Time flies
When youre having fun
I heard somebody say
But if all Ive been is fun
Then baby let me go
Dont wanna be in your way
And I dont wanna be your second choice
Dont wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that youre not in love
You wanna throw it all away
But I cant stay away form you
I dont wanna let you go
And though its killing me thats true
Theres just some things I cant control
Your love is slipping through my hands
And though Ive heard it all before
I know youre telling me the truth
I know its just no use
But I cant stay away from you
Hold on to every bit of hope, thats all I ever do
Hoping you might change your mind
And call me up to say how much you need me too
And though youre leaving me no other choice
Than to turn and walk away
Look over your shoulder, Ill be there
You can count on me to stay ...
cause I cant stay away from you
I dont wanna let you go
And though its killing me thats true
Theres just some things I cant control
Your love slipping through my hands
And though Ive heard it all before
I know youre telling me the truth
I know its just no use
But I cant stay away from you
I know youre telling me the truth
I know its just no use
But I cant stay away from you

You Want Her Too

She makes me go so wrong
(yeah, you kept me away, you know you did)
Ive loved her oh, so long
(so why dont you come right out and say it, stupid? )
She makes me do things I dont want to do
I dont know why I should be telling you
I know that you want her too
My intentions are quite sincere
(thats not what you said the other night)
And all you can do is sneer
(so go ahead and kid yourself youre right)
She makes me do things I dont want to do
I dont know why I should be telling you
I know that you want her too
Ive got a better chance than you do
I know that you want her too
Youre such a hopeless romantic
She told me youre so predictable and nice
She only did you a favor once or twice
Once or twice
She makes me go so wrong
(so why dont you lie back and enjoy it? )
Oh, my conscience is clear and strong
(yes, she says Im just the boy for it)
She makes me do things I dont want to do
I dont know why I should be telling you
I know that you want her too
I know that you want her too
I know that you want her too

All Things She Gave Me

All the things
all the things she gave me
All the things
all the things she gave me
I wrapped them up
in a big brown box
Tied it with ribbon
drove to the docks
Checked my time
by the old town clock
All the things...
I saw the watchman
he was blowing into
Cupped hands
as he walked to the car
He said

Pearl

I want you now as then
DOn't tell me
you want to stay
too much time
Now has passed
too too soon a thing to do
I was only thinking i would do right
Now and then i need a little sting
I was only trying not to second guess
Why you came
But Since i have changed
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Stay on my mind till i'm
So tired I can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you keep silencing me
Telling me things
No reason I should stay
When you know what to say
To tug me
Talk is cheap
That look of yours
Too Too cold now
The call
Could you feel
So ravaged and misunderstood
Everything changed
Nothing remains
So consider now when it was easy
Knowing what you do
And what you gave
I was silly knowing what was to be
My mistake
But Since I have changed
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Stay on my mind till I'm
So tired I can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you keep silencing me
Telling me things
No reason I should stay
When you know what to say
To tug me
Since i have changed
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Stay on my mind till i'm
So tired I can't see when you go
I can't see when you keep silencing me
Telling me things
No reason I should stay
When you know what to say

Savin Up

You may have diamonds
You may have pearls
You may think you got it baby
Over all the other girls
But honey you aint got nothing
And Ill tell you why
If youre empty as a soul can be, baby
Deep down inside
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You may have a big backyard
And ruby rings
And my loves just a second-place runner, honey
To your fancy things
But what you got to hold on to
When the lights go down
You come lookin for me baby
But I aint nowhere around
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start
You need a strong man, baby
To love and understand you
A man who aint afraid, sugar
To get some dirt on his hands for you
And when youre feeling so down-hearted
And all you wanna do is cry
Ah, just come on, take my hand, baby
Together you and i
We could start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
Wed better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy
You better start savin up
For the things that money cant buy

So Much Things To Say

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yey
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why, Why, heh
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'll never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
I'll never forget no way, how they sold Marcus Garvey for rice
I'll never forget no way, how they turned their back on Paul Bogle
So don't you forget no way...
Who you are, and where you stand in the struggle
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so very many things, to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places
And don't you fight me down
I'll stand firm, and give Jah all the thanks and praises
I don't expect to be justified, by these laws of men
Though the we can find me guilty, Jah will proove my innocency
Cuz when the rain falls, it don't, fall on one man's house top
Remember that
See when this rain falls, it don't, fall on one man's house top
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much, so much things to say
They've got, heh, so much things to say right now
They've got so, so much things to say
But let them keep talking, oh let them keep talking
Cuz non of them walking, oh non of them walking, no
And while they still talking, see I'ma be walking
I'ma be walking, so let them keep talking
Said I never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
And I, I'll never forget, how they sold Marcus Garvey for rice
Said I, never forget, how they turned their backs on Paul Bogle
So non of you, non of you forget...
Who you are, and where you stand in the struggle
Cuz when this rain, cuz when this rain, rain, rain, rain, rain falls
It don't fall on one man's house, I'm telling you the rain...
I'm telling you the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain don't fall
It don't fall... they...
They've got, they've got, so many very things to say about me
I'm telling you: lie
They, and they, and they will have so many things
They'll have so many things to say about you... to say about you
Cuz they don't know me, know me
They don't know me, oh they don't know me, oh they don't know me
Oh they don't know me well
They, they, they, they, they, they, they don't know my Father
Cuz if they did, if they did... hey ey... theeey... heh..
