Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,
And you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
But guess well cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine
A stick, a stone,
It’s the end of the road,
It’s the rest of a stump,
It’s a little alone
It’s a sliver of glass,
It is life, it’s the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It’s a trap, it’s a gun
The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all
It’s the wind blowing free,
It’s the end of the slope,
It’s a beam, it’s a void,
It’s a hunch, it’s a hope
And the river bank talks
Of the waters of March,
It’s the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart
Times of peace, times of fights, constant movement is our life
Can’t stop no more, not until we die
We long for more eternity, and maybe there’s another life
This one is short, no matter how you try
Oh, but never give up all the hope to lead a good life
No, don’t waste your given time to make things worse
Time…marches
Time…marches
One without us all, never stops, yes
Time…marches
Time…marches
On and on and on, flies eternally
To everything, turn, turn, turn.
There is a season, turn, turn, turn.
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time of love, a time of hate.
A time of war, a time of peace.
A time you may embrace.
A time to refrain from embracing.
A storm is raging around us, we feel its majesty
The clouds are moving forward unraveling my hidden thoughts
Embrace the storm
The storm is blinding our vision as it travels through the fields
I watch in absolute horror for now I know the day has come
Embrace the storm
The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunder heads are rumbling
In a distant overture…
All at once, the clouds are parted
Light streams down in bright unbroken beams…
Follow men’s eyes as they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams…
And though they lost some battles too,
The Americans swore they’d see it through.

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip’
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a’comin
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin’ on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we see’d the British come
And there must have been a hundred of ‘em beatin’ on the drum
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring
We stood by our cotton bales and didn’t say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept a’comin
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin’ on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
The Texas sun beats down upon me
Like the Devil’s smile
I’d rather be anywhere else than here
Was it a blinding lack of subtlety
Or just a lack of style
Responding to the ways and means of fear?
Take me back to New Orleans
And drop me at my door
'Cause I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more
Oh the Texas sun
Make my back burn
Oh the Texas sun
Make my back, make my back burn
The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive
And the world
And the world turns around
And the world, the world, yeah
And the world drags me down
Oh the Texas sun
Make my back burn
Oh the Texas sun
Make my back, make my back burn
The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
I’m sure in her you’ll find
The sanctuary
I’m sure in her you’ll find
The sanctuary
You’re quick to learn,
I love to watch you burn,
Come any time I’ll torch you out,
Only you can create the flame,
Only you can scorch my brain
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go, surrender, dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night and through the rain
Into the half-light and through the flame
If I could through myself set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light and to the day
Come on let’s twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let’s twist again like we did last year
Do you remember when things were really hummin’
Yea, let’s twist again, twistin’ time is here
Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)
You know you twist your little girl (Twist, little girl)
You know you twist so fine (Twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (Twist a little closer)
And let me know that you’re mine (Let me know you’re mine)
But anyway, what Miss Simpson said
It was a good chance to work on our fours in our head
1, 2, 3, 4
…Cretins want to hop some more.
4,5,6,7
all good cretins go to heaven.
1 for the flaming sun
2 for the location
3 for the martyrs and the stars
4 for the wind and sand
5 so you understand
6 for the slips 'twixt the cup and the lips
1 for the cockpit blues
2 for the Panzer crews
3 for the vast and molten sky
4 for the failed talks
5 for the knives and forks
6 for forbidden kicks
All the yobbos in the sticks
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, against one
I said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five…five, five…five against one
Torture from you to me
Abducted from the street
I’d rather be…
I’d rather be with…
I’d rather be with an animal
