Going Up the Country

I′m going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I′m going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I′ve never been before


I′m going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I′m going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I′m gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we′ve got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there′s a brand new game that I wanna play

No use of you running or screaming and crying
′Cause you've got a home, man
Long as I′ve got mine



Dreamer - Ozzy Osbourne 


C                                 Am
Gazing through the window at the world outside
C                             Am
Wondering will mother earth survive
F                                Dm              G
Hoping that man kind will stop abusing her, sometime 


C                                Am
After all there's only just the two of us
     C                                   Am
And here we are still fighting for our lives
F                          Dm                      G
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away

I'm just a dreamer who dreams of better days

I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
   F                                     Dm            G
A better place for those who will come after us, this time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah

I'm just a dreamer who dreams of better days






        Dm                         G
You're higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
     Dm                         G
It doesn't really matter much to me
     Dm                                  G
Without each others help their ain't no hope for us
     Dm                       G
I'm living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah, yeah, yeah...

It would be nice if we could live as one
F                                   Dm        G
When will all this anger hate and bigotry be gone

Something in the way

Underneath the bridge
Tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way
Mmm-mm

etc.


Maggies Farm

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Well, I wake in the morning,
Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane.
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Well, he hands you a nickel,
He hands you a dime,
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time,
Then he fines you every time you slam the door.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks.
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks.
The National Guard stands around his door.
Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
Well, she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law.
Everybody says
She's the brains behind pa.
She's sixty-eight, but she says she's twenty-four.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.





Biko
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are
Watching now




Cigarette Trees

A
You piss in my boot
And you tell me it’s rain
D
You smell like money
               A
On land you reclaim

Top off that sludge pond
Run black through our sinks
D
Heavy on the corn when we 
              A
fill up our drinks
 

A
Dig out our coal
Turn it into cash
D
Starve out our homelands
                    A
But keep your wallets fat
Shake down our houses
                          
With your big old draglines
D
And bury our families
               A
deep in them mines
 

A
Why not plant cigarette trees?
D
They’d burn faster than 
            A
You’d log these
Fill up them valleys
Slurry them streams
D
But big ole king coal
                      A     Bm    D
Don’t you loose any sleep
 
A D A D A Bm D
 

A
Strip off her top
Knock her to her knees
D
Disgrace that big ole mountain
                       A
With your broad-form deed
Kill animal and human
Every plant and herb
           D
You can’t help but leave the sky
                              A
So we can still flip you the bird
 

A
What will we do
With no mountains to climb
D
When you disappear
                        A
And you shut down the mines
Pray God gives you mercy
In the place you should dwell
D
That you don’t burn like coal
                          A
When you’re sentenced to hell
 

A
Why not plant cigarette trees?
D
They’d burn faster than 
            A
You’d log these
Fill up them valleys
Slurry them streams

But big ole king coal
                      A     Bm    D
Don’t you loose any sleep




Breathe / Time
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all your touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told

For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises

In the quiet of a railway station running scared

I bid farewell to old Kentucky

The place where I was born and raised.

For six long years I've been in trouble

No pleasures here on earth I found

For in this world I'm bound to ramble

I never expect to see you again

You can bury me in some deep valley

For many years where I may lay

Then you may learn to love another

While I am sleeping in my grave.

Like a hurricane
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across a moonbeam, I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you, but I'm getting blown away

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
You could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you, but I'm getting blown away
Blown away

You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream
You could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you, but I'm getting blown away





Whiskey in the jar

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Musha ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Musha ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o


Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Musha ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me, I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

A Rainy Night in Soho 

I′ve been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways

We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell

I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms


I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys

Sometimes I′d wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talking in my head

I'm not singing for the future
I′m not dreaming of the past
I′m not talking of the first times
I never think about the last

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You′re the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams



The Foggy Dew                                   Irish Trad.

As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its dred tattoo
But the Angelus bells o'er the Liffey's swell
Rang out through the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin town
They hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's huns with theirlong-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew



'Twas Brittania bade our wild geese go
That small nations might be free
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
On the shore of the gray North Sea
But had they died by Pearse's side
Or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we would keep where the Fenians sleep
'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew

But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide
In the springing of the year
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
At those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew





You can`t always get what you want

I saw her today at the reception,
a glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,
at her feet was a footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

I went down to the demonstration,
to get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "we're gonna vent our frustration,
if we don't we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse



I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store,
to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
and man did he look pretty ill
We decided we would have a soda,
my favorite flavour: cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,
and he said one word to me and that was "dead"

I saw her today at the reception,
in her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception,
I could tell by her bloodstained hands

Mighty Quinn 

Everybody′s building
Ships and boats
Some are building monuments
And others are jottin' down notes
Everybody′s in despair
Every girl and boy
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy

Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come on without
Come on within
You′ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn


Let me do what I wanna do
Like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Ain′t my cup of meat
Everybody is beneath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him

Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come on without
Come on within
You′ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do
Like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Ain't my cup of meat
Nobody can get no sleep
Someone on everyones toes
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody′s gonna wanna doze


Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come on without
Come on within
You′ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come on without

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Cortez the killer
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wandered
With the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.

And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on.

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.

And they carried them to the flatlands
But they died along the way
And they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today.

And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way.

He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer.

Fisherman's Blues    The Waterboys


 
  G                       F
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
Am                               C
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
G                               F
Casting out my sweet line, with abandonment and love
Am                                      C
No ceiling bearing down on me, save the starry sky above
 
 
          
                  G               F             Am    
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
 
G   F   Am   C


 
  G                              F
I wish I was the brake man, on a hurtlin' fevered train
         Am                                  C
Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain
         G                                F
With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal
Am                                  C
Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul
 
 


                 G               F             Am    
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh

     G                             F
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me fast
        Am                              C
And the chains all hung around me, will fall away at last
            G                            F
And on that fine and fateful day, I will take thee in my hands
       Am                        C
I will ride on the train, I will be the fisherman
 
 




                 G               F             Am      C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh

G     F     Am     C    
G     F     Am     C
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
            Am               C
Light in my head, you in my arms

            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
            Am             C
Light in my head, woo woo ooh



Dead Flowers 

Well, when you′re sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you′re the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave


Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on your Kentucky Derby days
I′ll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you′re the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave, ayy
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you′re the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

No, I won′t forget to put roses on your grave

Óro, Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile


Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!

Be 'e are gcreach tu bheith i ngeibhinn,

Do dhuiche bhrea i seilbh meirleach

'S tu diolta leis na Ghallaibh.


Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!

Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!

Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!

Anois are theacht an tsamhraidh.


Ta Grainne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile,

Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda;

Gaeil iad fein 's ni Gaill na Spainnigh,

'S cuirfid siad ruaig are Ghallaibh.

A bhui le Ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam,

Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain,

Grainne Mhaol agus mile gaiscioch

Ag fogairt fain are Ghallaibh.


Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!

Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!

Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!

Anois are theacht an tsamhraidh.

"Bloodflood Pt.II"


Heat shimmer

Hips quiver

Open smother

Lipped lover


Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N

Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys

Soon become Mandela Men

Razor blades on a melted toothbrush

Slash, slash / Assassin de la police


Heat shimmer

Silky glistener

Open smother

Lipped lover


Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N

Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys

Soon become Mandela Men

Silent knife, unholy knife

I've fallen for the black outside my window


On the C-O-double-M-O-N

On the C-O-double-M-O-N


A flood of blood to the heart

A flood of blood to the heart

A flood of blood to the heart

A flood of blood to the heart




No Mistakes Sarah Shook and the Disarmers

You ain’t got no way of knowin’ what you got until it’s gone
My baby she sure showed me
But every I find myself all down and out I realise
I am to blame to some degree

Well I ain’t makin’ no mistakes like the last time
I ain’t just keepin’ you around as a pastime
I swear I won’t take you for granted
I get I don’t deserve demandin’
Baby please give me one last try

Well I gave my best and fell short by a mile
And no man got no business tellin’ you to smile
But I’m the one who brought you down can’t I makе it up somehow?
I’d give anything I own to reconcilе

Well I ain’t makin’ no mistakes like the last time
I ain’t just keepin’ you around as a pastime
I swear I won’t take you for granted
I get I don’t deserve demandin’
Baby please give me one last try


Well I ain’t makin’ no mistakes like the last time
I ain’t just keepin’ you around as a pastime
I swear I won’t take you for granted
I get I don’t deserve demandin’
Baby please give me one last try
Baby please give me one last try
Baby please give me one last try
