High Anxiety – whenever you’re near, High Anxiety – it’s you that I fear. My heart’s afraid to fly, it’s crashed before. But then you take my hand, and my heart starts to soar Once more. . . Key change! High Anxiety – it’s always the same. High Anxiety – it’s you that I blame. It’s very clear to me, I’ve got to give in! High Anxiety – – and remember, kids, be good to your folks - they’ve been good to you – – you win! ---

Morning has broken like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the world. Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness where his feet pass. Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning, Born of the one light Eden saw play. Praise with elation, praise ev’ry morning, God’s recreation of the new day. Morning has broken… ---

I bind unto myself today The virtues of the star lit heaven, The glorious sun’s life giving ray, The whiteness of the moon at even, The flashing of the lightning free, The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks, The stable earth, the deep salt sea Around the old eternal rocks. I bind unto myself today The power of God to hold and lead, His eye to watch, His might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need. The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, His shield to ward; The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard. ---

“I’ll give you stars and the moon and the open highway And a river beneath your feet I’ll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way And a summer you can’t repeat. I’ll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure, No strings, just warm summer rain.” And I thought, “You know, I’d rather have champagne.” I met a man who had a fortune in the bank Who had retired at age thirty, set for life. I met a man and didn’t know which stars to thank, And then he asked one day if I would be his wife. And I looked up, and all I could think of Was the life I had dreamt I would live And I said to him, “What will you give?” “I’ll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay And a fur and a diamond ring And we’ll be married in Spain on my yacht today And we’ll honeymoon in Beijing. And you’ll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas In Nice and Paris in June.” And I thought, “Okay.” And I took a breath And I got my yacht And the years went by And it never changed And it never grew And I never dreamed And I woke one day And I looked around And I thought, “My God… I’ll never have the moon.” ---

[Strange girl sing](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKXAi96vQNQ) Think all my life to me Wild things you bring Bring drums and bells to me We dance and sway Sway like the drunken priest We dream all day Day of the wedding feast Dark hooded eyes Eyes of a stallion We roll the dice One in a million Bring drums and bells to me ---

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain To see for certain what I thought I knew Far far away, someone was weeping But the world was sleeping Any dream will do I wore my coat, with golden lining Bright colours shining, wonderful and new And in the east, the dawn was breaking And the world was waking Any dream will do ---

Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you” Birds singing in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say nighty-night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me While I’m alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me ---

With life just begun My sleeping new son Has eyes that roll back in his head They flutter and dart He slows down his heart And pictures a world past his bed Its hard to believe As I watch you breathe Your mind drifts and weaves When you dream What do you dream about?

Early one November me Uncle Tommy joined the army, Kitted him out for danger & ferried him o’er the sea, He threw me o’er his shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty, Telling me when I were older “you’ll be just like me”, A half a bottle o’ whisky, tattoo of a pretty lady, Half a dozen Havana’s & his Aunties rosary, A-thunderin’ oe’r the border, guns a-blazin’, hells a-raisin’, “Here I am ya bastards, ye’ll no be havin’ me!” Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor, Tommy was a ramblin’ man, A silver blade in the dyin’ shade, Oor Tommy was a fightin’ man! ---

I always feel high. When a rod is near by . Cause I love The fun of reaching for a gun and going bang bang. I come alive. Each time a forty -five. Begins to bang bang. In gangster movies. I love the scene. The nice guy’s nice. And the mean guy’s mean. The boss’s moll. Always steps between . Quick draws. Applause. ---
