But I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue
Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Wond’ring if she’d changed it all
If her hair was still red
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama’s homemade dress
Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough
And I was standing on the side of the road
Rain falling on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues getting through
Tangled up in blue.
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
Oh, my gal’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else she wouldn’t have gone so far from me.
Put it on
And don’t say a word
Put it on
The one that I prefer
Put it on
And stand before my eyes
Put it on
Please don’t question why
Can you believe
Something so simple
Something so trivial
Makes me a happy man
Can’t you understand
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn
You’ll know what makes the world turn
Baby, take off your coat…(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes…(here, I’ll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings.
I’ve always liked those kind of high heels too. You know, I…
No no no no, don’t take 'em off, don’t take… Leave 'em on, leave 'em on.
Yeah, that’s it, a little more to the right, a little more…
I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
I’ll do what you want me to do
I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do
Deutch marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?
Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin’ and chicks for free
Froze to the bone in my igloo home
Counting the days 'til the ice turns green
You know when heaven and hell collide
There are no in-betweens
(I’m the yo-yo man)
Flames on your skin of snow turn cold
(Always up and down)
Cold is the wind that blows through my headstone
It’s not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
He said, “Leave me alone
I’m a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite.”
“It’s in the trees!
It’s coming!”
When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me…
Now hounds of love are hunting.
I’ve always been a coward,
And I don’t know what’s good for me.
Here I go!
It’s coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone!
Help me, please!
Take my shoes off,
And throw them in the lake,
And I’ll be
Two steps on the water.
They stole little Bridget,
For seven years long;
When she came down again
All her friends were gone.
They took her lightly back
Between the night and morrow;
They thought she was fast asleep,
But she was dead with sorrow.
They have kept her ever since
Deep within the lake
On a bed of flag leaves
Watching till she wake.
[Okay, more Kate it is…]
Wake up!
A good morning, ma’am. Your early morning call.
You must wake up!
[titter] Wake up! [titter]
Wake up, man!
Wake up, child! Pay attention!
Come on, wake up!
Wake up, love!
We should make the night, but see your little light’s alive!
Stop that lyin’ and a-sleepin’ in bed–get up!
Ma needs a shower. Get out of bed! [words uncertain]
Little light…
Can you not see that little light up there?
Where?
There!
Where?
Over here!
You still in bed?
Wake up, sleepy-head!
We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water
Don’t you know you’ve kept him waiting?
Look who’s here to see you!
“Wake, awake, for night is flying,”
The watchmen on the heights are crying;
“Awake, Jerusalem, arise!”
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
“Oh, where are ye, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Hallelujah!
With bridal care
Yourselves prepare
To meet the Bridegroom, who is near.”
Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o’er yon mountain’s height,
See that glory-beaming star.
There’s a starman, waiting in the sky.
He’d like to come and meet us,
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
There’s a starman, waiting in the sky.
He’s told us not to blow it,
'Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile.
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star…
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid…
Then the stranger spoke, he said “Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,”
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air…
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt tumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You start to feel you’re on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass, when a child is born
Now out of the night
New as the dawn into the light
Oh this child, innocent child,
Soft as a fawn
This child is born
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here he lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed this bond
A child is born
