[“Scotty’s Lament”, The Connells] So surprised, I fought windmills So surprised, I saw angels I know my place in this So surprised, I had visions So surprised, you were in them I found my place in this world It’s you I swear, it’s you I swear I delight in my despair (I’ll wait for you) It’s you I swear, it’s you I swear Giving me the right (I’ll wait for you) It’s you who lied, it’s you who lied When you had to swallow pride (I’ll wait for you) It’s you I swear, it’s you I swear So surprised, thoughts escaped me So surprised, words escaped me I know my place in this world ---

[“Late Lament”, The Moody Blues] Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day’s useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up and suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion? ---

Why do we never get an answer When we’re knocking at the door Because the truth is hard to swallow That’s what the war of love is for It’s not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It’s more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be And when you stop and think about it You won’t believe it’s true That all the love you’ve been giving Has all been meant for you I’m looking for someone to change my life I’m looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it’s done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me through Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she’s waiting there for me But in the Grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose I’m looking for someone to change my life I’m looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it’s done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me to The land that I once knew To learn as we grow old The secrets of our soul It’s not the way that you say it when you do those things to me It’s more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be ---

This is a land that loves music This land was built with a song Some of it’s sad, some is happy Most of it’s right, some is wrong Your song’s about struggle Oh sing out, sweet land ---

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants Where the oranges grew And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us When I’m standing with you And back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust And then visit the zoo And back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous What’s it all leading to And it’s only a day away We could leave tonight You could sleep along the way Dream in black and white ---

Come on baby let’s get out of this town I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down There’s a chill in my bones I don’t want to be left alone So baby you can sleep while I drive I’ll pack my bag and load up my guitar In my pocket I’ll carry my harp I got some money I saved Enough to get underway And baby you can sleep while I drive ---

I only want to be alone To work the numbers on my own I need to show my father I need to show them all…I am the one Your time has come To unlock the equation The Theory of Everything If you’re troubled by the visions The chaos in your mind If the voices start to whisper Call me, day or night!

I still dream of Orgonon. I wake up crying. You’re making rain, And you’re just in reach, When you and sleep escape me. You’re like my yo-yo That glowed in the dark. What made it special Made it dangerous, So I bury it And forget. But every time it rains, You’re here in my head, Like the sun coming out– Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen. And I don’t know when, But just saying it could even make it happen. On top of the world, Looking over the edge, You could see them coming. You looked too small In their big, black car, To be a threat to the men in power. I hid my yo-yo In the garden. I can’t hide you From the government. Oh, God, Daddy– I won’t forget, ---

Strange shapes light up the night I’ve never seen 'em though I hope I might Don’t ask if they are real The men in black, their lips are sealed Fantasy fills my mind To leave this place before my time Release myself from earthly care My dream may be your nightmare I turn my hopes up to the sky I’d like to know before I die Memories will slowly fade I lift my eyes and say, Come on, take me away Come on, take me away ---

Is it really worth your while when you’re staring at the pile? Sure looked good on your TV screen. This ain’t the guiding light, that shit is poison for your mind. This is real, this is you, and this is me. Don’t wanna lose it but you say you see right through me and he doesn’t know who he is anyway. And I wanna know why it never seems to end The band started playing and it all went away and I said, “Lord, be all right once in a while.” Calgon, Take Me Away. ---

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen Camera curves over caved-in cop cars Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes Clutch at plausible deniability Don’t touch that dial We’re in denial Until the showcase trial on TV Some kind of pictures on the sense o’clock news Miles of yellow tape, silhouetted chalk lines Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity Don’t change that station It’s a Gangsta Nation Now crime’s in syndication on TV Some kind of drama live on satellite Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets Clutching at the straws of respectability ---

Gotta send me a plastic Jesus There’s a check in the mail today That’s what I need, somebody to love We just won’t eat on Sunday Gotta buy him a limousine Somewhere to live, somewhere to pray Every penny from the people Keeps the wolf outside the door Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself But he’ll give you more, yeah Holy father, holy ghost Who’s the one who pays the most? Rock the cradle don’t you cry Buy another lullaby Jack is nimble, Jack is quick Pick your pocket, turn a trick Slow and steady, he’s got time To commit another TV crime TV crime ---

Don’t you want to ride in my Survival car? We can take the long way home, Through Central Park. Funny how the ground can find my wheels- I’m going where the road ain’t there. And only riding on the path we made, To Union Square. ---
