For Everyman

Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
With the light of the morning
Theyve seen the end coming down long enough to believe
That theyve heard their last warning
Standing alone
Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening descends
I sit thinking bout everyman
Seems like Ive always been looking for some other place
To get it together
Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
And maybe find something better
But all my fine dreams
Well though out schemes to gain the motherland
Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman
Waiting here for everyman--
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Waiting here for everyman--
Dont ask me if hell show -- baby I dont know
Make it on your own if you think you can
Somewhere later on youll have to take a stand
Then youre going to need a hand
Everybodys just waiting to hear from the one
Who can give them the answers
And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun
Where sweet childhood still dances
Wholl come along
And hold out that strong and gentle fathers hand?
Long ago I heard someone say something bout everyman
Waiting here for everyman--
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Im not trying to tell you that Ive seen the plan
Turn and walk away if you think I am--
But dont think too badly of one whos left holding sand
Hes just another dreamer, dreaming bout everyman

Everyman

Looking around nowhere to go
Looking high but youre feelin low
Ready or not you got to run when you can
Stealin time just like everyman
Oh oh wanna let you know
You cant hide you cant hide
Oh-oh wanna tell you so
Well you tried I think you lied
Everyman you get lonely
Saw you cryingjust the other day
Everyman its not your money
You and I get to feel this way
We can feel the rain
Were like everyman
Spend your time spend your money too
Spend your life if it gets you through
Look around see you everywhere
Stealin love well its just not fair
Oh oh wanna let you know
You cant hide you cant hide
Oh-oh wanna tell you so
Well you tried but I think you lied
Everyman you get lonely
Saw you crying just the other day
Everyman its not your money
You and I get to feel this way
We can feel the rain
Were like everyman
-solo-
Everyman you get lonely
Saw you crying just the other day
Everyman its not your money
You and I get to feel this way
We can feel the rain
Were like everyman
See you everywhere I go, looking high but youre feeling low
Everyman everyman

Everyman

everyone's beating their war drums
everyone want's a blue
naybiddy wants responsibility
naybiddy want' te lose

everyone's a hero
everyone's so cool
naybiddy wants te sacrifice
naybiddy think's that their the fools

everyone's a winner
everyone special too
naybiddy wants te pay the price
naybiddy wants the pain o' truth

everyone's beating their wardrums
everyone want's a blue
everyones a hero
everyone's so cool

naybiddy wants responsibility
naybiddy wants te lose
naybiddy want's te pay the price
naybiddy want's te lose

everyman, everyman
everyman a fool
everyman, everyman
everyman me and you

everyone's beating their wardrums
everyone want's a blue
everyones a winner
yet everyone will lose

Still Waiting

All my friends tell me
About the loves theyve had
Cant they see what theyre doing to me?
It makes me feel so bad
cause Im so alone
And brokenhearted
It aint like my life is ended
But more like it never started
The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating
I try so hard but dont you know, my patience is fading away
Still waiting
Im waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
Waiting for the love to come around
Oh, love.
Waiting for the love to come around
People say that Im too young
Too young to fall in love
But they dont know, they really dont know
Thats all that Ive been dreaming of
cause I spend my nights just a-crying
And I spend my days just a-trying
To find that love to call my own
cause Im sick and tired of being alone
Still waiting
Waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
Im waiting for the love to come around.
(waiting for the love) dont you know that Im waiting
(waiting for the love) say..
(waiting for the love) to come around now
I need somebody to hold on to baby
Waiting and waiting, dont you know that im
Still waiting
Im waiting for the love, sugar
Still waiting
If youre out there girl, please come to me
Still waiting
Dont make me cry no more
Still waiting
If youre out there, baby, please come to me
Still waiting
Wishing and wishing for days, baby
Still waiting
If youre out there, girl, please come to me
Still waiting

Dying womanhood

A woman clings to her husband,
Worthwhile or otherwise,
Repelling everyman who advances
And everyman she is drawn to
And dies with the fall of her husband,
With child bearing and the child rearing
in between,
with the fullest subordination.
Womanhood suffers from wifehood.

The Final Question!

what's it going to take
for you to see me?
for the world to hear my voice?
to put a name to my face?
for time, and redemption,
and a reason for being?
what's it going to take
for me to die like a man?
what's it going to take
for my life to have value,
for my body to be a bridge?
for my soul to give shelter,
my spirit to cut through chains?
what's it going to take?
baby, what's it going to take?

what's it going to take
for me to bring forgiveness?
for the words that i sing
to bring healing and hope?
for my name to be everyman?
and everyman my reason to be?
for this bridge to be walked on,
this shelter to stand the storm?
what's it going to take
for this spirit to be your wings,
for my life to be worth dying?
and my death to bring life?
what's it going to take?
baby, what's it going to take?

Time To Fight

We sat on the shores of another time
Laughed amidst the sighing tides
Realized that love stands for every man
Decided to love justice hand in hand

The city is a furnace of doubt and pain
They shipped out jobs for gold and gain
Our love is a struggle in this evil hour
We fight the men of greed and power

Baby, please tell me what love sings
Tell me what you really dream
I have heard the bells chime and ring
I want everyman to feel free

We stare at the fences of the gated city
They create the poor and say what a pity
Kiss me my darling and join the fight
This class warfare is a true plight

They bust the unions and tare us apart
So many cannot make a new start
Baby please let me feel your strong hand
Sing Woody Guthrie’s this land is your land

Baby, please tell me what love sings
Tell me what you really dream
I have heard the bells chime and ring
I want everyman to feel free

Fifty million with out health care
They ship out jobs and call it fair
Now the line is crossed and we must fight
There is a time for peace and a time to fight

Let your voice cry it is time to fight

Theres A Place For Us

...theres a place for us, somewhere a time and a place.
So here we are together
Just you and me
Sitting side by side
Dont know why
With time just racing by
But I dont want to go
Well I dont know much about it
cos all I am is what you see
In front of you
Theres no more
Feels so close and yet so far
But I dont want to go
Here I am, take my hand
Here I am, please take my hand
Id like to sit here with you if thats alright
If you dont mind I could sit and stare all night
Sit here waiting for you to hold me tight
Its sad but I know its true
You see I know you well
Youd only laugh at me
And that would hurt me so
Just look at me here
Youve got me pleading with you
But I dont want to go
cos you know that I love you so
Yes you know that I love you so
Here. I will be here love
For you love, I will always be here love
If you look real close
Youll see my heart is on my sleeve
And itll be here waiting
Waiting for you, waiting for me
Someone once said that if you truly, truly believe
You can make things happen
Make things appear to be all that they seem
Tell me do you believe?
Well find a hideaway
Together well find a way
Somewhere, somehow, well find some way
There must be somewhere
There must be someplace
We can find somewhere
Where they dont know my face
Believe me we can find it
Yes we can find it
Somewhere, theres a place for us
Somewhere, a time and a place for us
Somewhere

Waiting For The Sunrise

Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can take your hand and stroll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go on the streets and see the people smile.
Give me your hand,
So I could tell you that things will be alright.
The rooms still dark,
But it wont be so long,
And I can take you outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the park and roll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the docks and watch the boats go by.
Come on, love, give me your hand,
And things will be alright.
The rooms still cold,
But it wont be so long,
That we can go outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I could see your hair shining in the air.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can see the sky reflected in your eyes.
Come on, love, dont be depressed,
Things will be alright.
The rooms too low,
But it wont be so long,
That we can be outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise.

Harvest For The World

Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
When will there be a harvest for all the people
When will there be a harvest for all the world
Harvest For The World
All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
When will there be a harvest for the world
A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world
Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world
Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
Nation after nation, turning into beast
When will there be a harvest for the world

Compromise

You wear
The cloth
Of finest lands
The touch of women the toil of hands
Undress
Me now
Before I bend
From the weight of everyman
When Im walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
Im not asking for a compromise
Now you
Defend
Exhume
Begin again
Its the riddle of a skeleton
Were all
Diseased
So count the coup
I cant image stopping you
When Im walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
Im not asking for a compromise
So the earth
We scorch
We breath
Find some comfort on our knees
You find
Your worth
In words that wind
Pleasures I dont comprehend
When Im walking trough this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
Im not asking for a compromise
Asking for a compro
Asking for a compromise

Two, dont tell me which way to go
Three, just leave it up to me cause
Four, you ridin with a pro
Five, you gotta leave it all behind
Six, we bout to get up in the mix now

Whats up, this feeling cant be controlled
Trying not to look so fly and its 3:25 but Im ready to roll
Cause Ive been waiting all week just to find
A party just to get out and jam

Now that the hour is nine, time to check for this dime
Breakin hearts at the door
No time for standing in line
The beat is playin in my spine and I cant take it no more
Throw your hands up, lets cut this rug up
And party like it aint no thang
We can do it all night til the daylight
No, it aint no shame in my game, yeah

Waiting For Girl Like You

So long, Ive been looking too hard, Ive been waiting too long
Sometimes I dont know what I will find, I only know its a matter of time
When you love someone, when you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe Im wrong, wont you tell me if Im coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure
Ive been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Youre so good, when we make love its understood
Its more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah, really love someone
Now I know its right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
Theres nowhere on earth that Id rather be than holding you tenderly
Ive been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting, waiting for you, ooh, Ive been waiting
Ive been waiting
(Ive been waiting for a girl like you, Ive been waiting)
Wont you come into my life?

Walk To The Light

(walt aldridge)
Ive never been one to believe much in ghosts,
But to tell you the truth now, my mind is not closed.
Ive heard there are souls that are lost in between
Somewhere theyre goin, and the places theyve been.
That sounds a lot like a woman I know,
Her love is long gone, but she will not let go.
Somebody oughtta take her by the hand and tell her,
dont be afraid, just walk to the light.
Let go of the past and get on with your life.
Somebodys waiting out in the night,
Ashes to ashes, walk to the light.
Now I understand that some things can take time,
Especially those of the heart grievin kind.
But there comes a point youve got to move on ahead,
Read the last rites and bury the dead.
Said she cant make the journey to get past the pain.
She moans in the night and she rattles her chains.
Somebody oughtta take her in their arms and tell her,
dont be afraid, just walk to the light.
Let go of the past and get on with your life.
Somebodys waitin out in the night,
Ashes to ashes, walk to the light.
Oh, dont be afraid of the choices that you made,
The choices are behind you.
When you give in, the healin can begin,
Love is gonna find you.
Dont be afraid, just walk to the light.
Let go of the past and get on with your life.
Somebodys waitin out in the night,
Ashes to ashes,
Oh, oh, dont be afraid just walk to the light,
Let go of the past and get on with your life.
Someone is waiting out in the night,
Ashes to ashes, walk to the light.
Walk to the light.
Walk to the light.

Dont Stand Another Chance

Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
He belongs to me, just wait and see
Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance
Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you
So you better give credit cause its nothing coming down your way
You dont stand another chance (not a chance, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (baby) you dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
Well, you know somebodys gotta lose
We all cant win... maybe next time, okay
You guys are confusing
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (another chance)

Standing There

STANDING THERE
Have you ever been strong
Have you ever known when it's time to walk away
Just walk away, yeah
Well i couldnt wait to see you
I was listening by the phone there
When you called
When you called and said what you said
All this time
All this time with the fighting and screaming
It's breaking me it's taken it's toll on me
And its like where standing there
Hand in hand
Just waiting for the ground to give way
Waiting for the right words to say
So take your chance
And don't hold back
Cause time is all we've got around here
Time for me to wake up and see you standing there
You're beautiful just standing there
Have you ever crossed the line
Cause theres nothing I wouldn't do for love
For this kind of love yeah
I'm trying to reach out
Trying to make you make you understand it
Understand the things that I'd like between you and me cause
All this time
All this time with the fighting and screaming
It's breaking me it's taken it's toll on me
And its like where standing there
Hand in hand
Just waiting for the ground to give way
Waiting for the right words to say
So take your chance
And don't hold back
Cause time is all we've got around here
Time for me to wake up and see you standing there
You're beautiful just standing there

Waiting At The Gate

(carly simon/jacob brackman)
An occasional joint, a glass or two of beer
Still I would never have guessed that youd wind up here
In a half-way house, on a dead-end street
In a run-down part of a one-horse town
But just do what they say, dont worry bout your girl
cause I wont run away, and I wont run around
And I wont let you down, and without a doubt
Ill be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
You set the world on fire, dancing after dark
Now youre playing solitaire in a fenced-in park
Im not the one to judge you, so baby dont be scared
No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared
Ill be back on the ninth, Ive circled the date
Three oclock sharp, and I wont be late
Youve been through hell I know what thats all about
And Ill be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
The doctors have so little faith
They say you were a classic case
They said the chance is eight in ten
Theyd see you back in here again
But Im counting on you to prove the doctors wrong
Im imagining you, healthy and strong
Your papers all stamped, your eyes so bright and blue
Looking like a baby picture of you
Walking down the path, your suitcase in your hand
The howling at your back, a brand new man
Be a perfect little camper, be a brave little scout
And Ill be waiting waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out...

Man On The Corner

See the lonely man there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I dont know,
But he waits everyday now.
Hes just waiting for something to show.
And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
cos theres no hiding place,
Theres no hiding place - for you.
Looking everywhere at no one,
He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.
When he shouts nobody listens,
Where he leads no one will go - oh.
Hes a lonely man, there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I dont know,
But he waits everyday now.
And hes just waiting for something to show - oh.
Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
cos theres no hiding place,
Theres no hiding place - for you and me.
Are we just like all the rest,
Were looking too hard for something hes got
Or moving too fast to rest.
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
But do you love it enough to leave it - ah.
Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I dont know - oh.
But he waits every day now.
Hes just waiting for that something to show - oh.
Whos the lonely man there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I dont know.
But hes there every day now.
And hes just waiting for something to show - oh.
Whos the lonely man there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I dont know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
Hes just waiting for that something to show.

Dont ask my forgiveness

Dont ask for my forgiveness.
Dont say youll wait for it.
Becuase I shall tell you.
This only once.
Youll get my forgiveness
When hell freezes over.
Youll be waiting a long time.
You dont get my forgiveness.
Oh no you dont.
Dont kid yourself.
Are you all there in the head?
Forgiveness I cant give.
I dont offer it to you.
Why should I make you feel better?
To hell with that.
If your feeling guilty
Thats you problem not mine.
You dont deserve forgiveness.
Ask me again
And I'll be waiting with a knife.
For my protection.
Forgive you
Yeah right
Dont make me laugh.
I depise you all.
Forgive you no.
Shove it up your arse.
You thick twatt.

Dont You Think?

Some people
Dont worry
bout nothing
Dont know whats going on
Im not one
Who cant say theyre sorry
I just care whats going on
Theres more important things
Than making sure your watch looks just right
And second hand opinions
Dont make you look any smarter
Dont you think
Dont you think
Dont you think that maybe
Its time , yes its time
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
And dont just sweeten up the taste
Brother shoots brother
But meanwhile youre fixing up your face
Youre not affected by the truth
Unless its on your doorstep
Deodorise your paradise
No point in getting crazy
Dont you think
Dont you think
Dont you think that maybe
Its time , yes its time
Time you started thinking bout things in the back of your head
Someone said before you turn a blind eye
Hear a bell ring sex sells everything
But I dont buy it so dont try it
Sleeping in the small world head in the sand
Better wash your hands , make a new plan
Theres more important things
Than making sure your shoes just walk right
Ignore reality theres nothing you can do about it . . .
The clothes you wear dont make the man
Its just another party
