Kilburn Towers
I am a bird; watch me go drifting by.
With my feathers of power I laugh as the hours go slowly by.
That could mean ev'rything.
I am a street watching the people walk.
As I listen their conversations glisten as they start to talk.
Then I hear ev'rything.

'Till Nothing Comes Between Us
Close your eyes, can you see me here?
Rollin' down the Rocky Mountains,
Movin' like the wind that sweeps the Kansas fields.
I know you're with me,
As I make my way through Oklahoma,
Past the farms and weather vanes.
There are hotels, cafes, bills and billboard signs.
A thousand miles of highway,
Between your heart and mine.
There will fin'lly come a moment,
When one man, and one woman,
Give ev'rything that they've been waiting for.
Oh.
I'll take you in my arms again.
Feel your skin against my skin.
An' let the sheet fall slowly to the floor.
'Til nothin' comes between us anymore.
In my soul, I can hear you,
As I cross the Mississippi,
You're the river flowin' in me comin' home.
I count each heartbeat,
'Til the moment we're together,
An' the distance can't be measured.
That's all that keeps me goin'
And I'm gone.
There will fin'lly come a moment,
When one man, and one woman,
Give ev'rything that they've been waiting for.
I'll take you in my arms again.
I'll Feel your skin against my skin.
An' let the sheet fall slowly to the floor.
'Til nothin' comes between us anymore.
There will fin'lly come a moment,
When one man, and one woman,
Give ev'rything that they've been waiting for.
I'll take you in my arms again.
Feel your skin against my skin.
An' let the sheet fall slowly to the floor.
'Til nothin' comes between us anymore.
There will fin'lly come a moment,
When one man, and one woman,
Give ev'rything, ev'rything, ev'rything that they're waiting for.
I'll take you in my arms again.-acapo

Dig A Pony
I dig a pony
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Ooh.
I do a road hog
Well you can penetrate any place you go
Yes you can penetrate any place you go
I told you, all i want is you.
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because--
I pick a moon dog
Well you can radiate ev'rything you are
Yes you can radiate ev'rything you are--
Ooh.
I roll a stoney
Well you can imitate ev'ryone you know
Yes you can imitate ev'ryone you know
I told you, all i want is you.
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because--
I feel the wind blow
Well you can indicate ev'rything you see
Yes you can indicate ev'rything you see--
Ooh.
I dug a pony
Well you can syndicate any boat you row
Yes you can syndicate any boat you row
I told you, all i want is you.
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to

Sitcoms
Gentle gamma rays radiate
From the screen. Slowly, we decay
To watch the past tense duplicate,
Repeat time when it's gone away.
Re-live your life now, once again;
Recreate better yesterdays-
The sepia toned "could have been"
Nostalgia of nuclear fam'lies-
Where ev'rything good will happen,
Ev'rything is how it "should be."

Uptight
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt i own is hangin' on my back,
But i'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
Since i'm the apple of my girl's eye.
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style,
But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
I'm a pearl of a girl, i guess that's what you might say,
I guess her folks brought her up that way,
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.
No one is better than i, i know i'm just an average guy,
No football hero or smooth don juan,
Got empty pockets, you see i'm a poorman's son.
She says give her the things that money can buy
But i'll never, never make my baby cry,
And it's all right, what i can't do,
Out of sight because my heart is true,
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

You Are
(Dolly Parton)
Sometimes I try to count the ways and reasons that I love you
But I can't ever seem to count that far
I love you in a million ways and for a million reasons
More than this I love you as you are
More than this I love you as you are
You are my inspiration, you are the song I sing
You are what makes me happy, you are my everything
You are my daily sunshine, you are my ev'ning star
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want, that's what you are
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want is what you are
You are my thoughts when I'm awake, my dreams when I'm asleep
You are the reason for my smile, you are the words I speak
Every role I play in life you play the leading part
Ev'rything I'd ever hope to find is what you are
Ev'rything I'd ever hope to find is what you are
You are my inspiration, you are the song I sing
You are what makes me happy, you are my everything
You are my daily sunshine, you are my ev'ning star
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want, that's what you are
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want is what you are
You are...

No Woman No Cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears

If You And I Could Be As Two
(Van Morrison)
Spoken: Was on a Sunday
And the autumn leaves were on the ground
I kicked my heart
When I saw you standing there in your dress of blue
The storm was over, my ship sailed through
Sings:
What is this feeling, a-what can I do?
If you an' I, could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all
And more I would do, oh yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more I would do
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
Spoken:
And baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together?
A-walkin' through the park
A-baby then, then we could sing
Give ya' all my money
Ev'rything in the world that I had
You told me, That don't mean a thing
If still in darkness we could run
Together, there in that mornin' sun
I'd give my all, my life and ev'rything to you
Whoa-yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
Could be as two
Could be as two
FADES-
Could be as two
Baby

Without Someone
I watch the cars move
I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street
Im only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall
It hardly moves at all
Its you Im waiting for.
Chorus:
Without someone I can depend on
Im lost without someone
As I go on, I hope youre remembering Im lost without someone.
All alone, no one around
I watch the shadows falling faster
The city lights begin to glow
And then I start to realize
I count the hours as they slip away
Into another day
Wondering where youll stay.
Repeat chorus
Still watching the cars move
Still watching the lights upon the window
Im walking down the street
Im only thinking of you
I hear the night as it calls to me
It plays a symphony
It says youre gone from me.
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus

People talk the streets hypnotic
Another day has come
And I cannot help it
I’ve got to go out and hear
I’ve got to go out and let it hear me
Walk the streets like walk the clouds
People speak people laugh
People laugh and their laughter
Spreads my laughter too
People look at me I look at them
They want to come into my eyes
They wonder I wonder
I take them like a picture
I want to go in they take me in
We walk together
People talk shallow talks
I hear the depths below
People beg the streets
I beg the streets with them
People seek the streets
Being sought by them
People cry my tears
People kiss I can feel the kisses
People touch I can feel the touches
People talk the streets
I talk people in the streets
Put fragments of their talk
Into a Hypnos mosaic
Of my own words
‘Communication is health. Communication.’

Watching You Without Me
(whats that? )
(its four, five, six, seven...)
You cant hear me.
You cant hear me.
You cant hear what Im saying.
You cant hear what Im saying to you.
You watch the clock
Move the slow hand.
I should have been home
Hours ago,
But Im not here.
But Im not here.
You cant hear me.
You cant hear me.
You cant feel me
Here in the room with you now.
You cant hear what Im saying.
You dont hear what Im saying, do you?
Cant let you know
Whats been happening.
Theres a ghost in our home,
Just watching you without me.
Im not here.
(you dont hear me.) [backwards]
But Im not here.
(you cant hear me.)
But Im not here.
(you dont hear what Im saying.)
Dont ignore, dont ignore me,
Let me...[indecipherable]*
Dont ignore, dont ignore me,

Dont ignore, dont ignore me,
Let me...[indecipherable]
We see you here. [backwards]
We see you here.
We see you here.

We see you here.
We see you here.
You dont hear me come in.
Help me, baby! help me, baby! talk to me! listen to me,
Listen to me! talk to me! help--
(you cant hear me.) [backwards]
Listen, baby! listen to me, baby! help me, help me, baby!
Talk to me! talk to me! please, baby, talk to me!

You wont hear me leaving.

Black And White So Alike
In my journey in life, I met many people and many issues
and I used many tissues, cried many tears thru the years.
I found people of color are similar to white and alike
in so many ways, they have feelings like white people
and maybe even more, people say to me why you bother
with people of color, I say people are people, color
and white are so alike, have feelings so alike and they
can bond like anyone else, talk for hours and laughs
about little things and big things.
People of color and white are so alike I am greatful to have
met special people in my life, make me feel good when I am down,
make me laugh when I cry, tell me its okay to feel sad, and thats
not bad to feel down sometimes because thats how it is, People of color and white so alike in many ways, they share sorrow and pain, cry
and laugh together, have long or short lunch or just walk
around corner its still something to talk about.
People of color and white so alike in many ways and thats what I say
and I will miss my friend now that she moved on, but our friendship stayed on....

The Whole Night
we can touch
touch our girl cheeks
and we can hold hands
like paper dolls
we can try
try eachother on
in the privacy
within new york city's walls
we can kiss
kiss goodnight
and we can go home wondering
what would it be like if
if I did not have a boyfriend
we could spend
the whole night
I am waking up
in her bed
I sing 1st avenue
the open window said
always late to sleep
late to rise
lying here watching the day go by
in the living room
there are people on the carpet
having stupid conversations
just to hear themselves talk
and I am drifting through
I am heading for the kitchen
I am thinking of her fingers as I walk...

A Bird on the Road
I watched as a baby bird fell from a tree,
Trying to flap its youthful wings,
So that it may fly so elegantly.
Perhaps like his soaring father
Or perhaps like his gliding mother
Or perhaps just to feel
The wind coursing
In between his new
Feathers.
The bird landed on an empty street on the other side
Of the library parking lot where I was.
I watched it stumble up, struggling
To stand on its barely-born feet.
I heard it chirping—as if to call
For someone someplace, distant,
Someone who had left it
Not so long ago
On the road.
The bird's naïve and innocent song fell silent,
For only resting notes wrung from the branches.
There was no response to the aching plea
Of the sweetly-timbered sonata
Softly resonating from the bird's
Deflating tuft of a chest.
No choir or counter-point
Chorused to harmonize
With its tune.
I looked upon the bird. It appeared so helpless to me
And I felt that I should maybe save it
If I were not so reserved to simply watch.
I do not know how to care for birds,
Only to believe that safety should come.
I gave my sympathy and my audience.
Something intangible told me
To leave its fate
In nature's hands.
As I pondered about the bird's chances for survival,
A bright red sports car plummeted down the road—
Speeding past in a blur on the isolated street.
Its rubber tires rubbed against the pavement,
Squashing the poor baby bird,
Flattening it into a single, red stroke
Painted and imprinted
Into the rough grooves covering
The rocky canvas.
I realized that even if I would have risen to assist
The lonely and wounded bird, I would have done nothing,
But perhaps injure myself in the process.
Yet, I was drained and depressed to see the bird vanish
Because there was no hope for it. It was forgotten
By ev'ryone and ev'rything except for me.
The driver did not seem to care;
The world did not seem to care,
But I did...
Though I did nothing.

Cant you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk

See me silently quietly creep I am too
Amped up to sleep lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the bussing sound subway
Creaking down below garbage piled up and ready to go
Lock the windows the gates on taxi in the
Distance coming along stalking the streets
Till the break of day new york beauty take my
Breath away near some cats but dogs dont
Bark cool cats strolling after dark
Watch the watch the way I walk

Shaky lock and kicky door smokey air that
I adore down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front

Too Much Heaven
CHORUS:
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life..I can see beyond forever
Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world.. a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Chorus..
You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You're my life..
I can see a new tomorrow
Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me

Sidewalk Talk
Watch where you walk 'cause the sidewalks talk
And you can't keep a secret from the ground beneath you
Step very lightly on the earth below
Or before you know it everyone will know
Streets were paved with a thousand eyes
And try as you may you can't disguise
There's only two things that you can't hide from
That's you and the ground you're walking on
Chorus:
Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say
Think when you speak 'cause you gotta 'long the street
They can read what you say so you gotta stay away
From words that sting, words are not true
And the things you say make a fool of you
Little white lies make the sidewalk cry
And you can betray with the things you say
Words won't last when you say 'em too fast
And you've been mislead by the things you've said
(chorus)
Intermediate:
When you're living on the street
Life can be full of misery
Find a place to call your own
Make your heart into a home
You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)
You can do it
After every word there's a place that heard
Every time your shoe hits the avenue
And when you've gone they'll sing a song
Of the stories you told when you felt so bold
You better think twice when you cross the ice
Everything you do comes back to you
When you're shedding a tear sidewalks will hear
When your laughter's true they'll run with you
(chorus)
(intermediate)
You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)
You can do it
(repeat 3 times)

Sidewalk talk
