I give to you and you give to me,  
True love, true love.  
So on and on it’ll always be,  
True love, true love.  
For you and I  
Have a guardian angel on high,  
With nothin’ to do.  
But to give to you and to give to me,  
Love forever true.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?  
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme  
Remember me to one who lives there  
She once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt  
[On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.]  
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme  
[Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown]  
Without no seams nor needle work  
[Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain]  
Then she’ll be a true love of mine  
[Sleeps unaware of the clarion call]

I hear the horses’ thunder  
Down in the valley below  
I’m waiting for the angels of Avalon  
Waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold  
The seeds of happiness  
The ground is rich from tender care  
Repay, do not forget, no, no  
(Oh, dance in the dark of night  
Sing to the morning light)  
The apples turn to brown and black  
The tyrant’s face is red

She wasn’t 2 bright  
But I could tell when she kissed me  
She knew how 2 get her kicks

She wore a  
Raspberry beret  
The kind you find in a second hand store  
Raspberry beret  
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more  
Raspberry beret  
I think I love her

Baby you can wear my hat,  
If you give it back…  
Baby you can wear my hat,  
If you got something to match…

or overalls and cowboy boots 😉

I told my girl I can start right away  
When she said, "Listen, babe, I got something to say  
I got no car, and it’s breaking my heart  
But I found a driver, and that’s a start

“Baby, you can drive my car  
Yes, I’m gonna be a star  
Baby, you can drive my car  
And maybe I’ll love you”

Can’t see the lights or the blue orange signs  
Can’t see the road or the long white lines  
Feeling the ground through the pedals on the floor  
Feeling death pounding at the door

Windows all open, there’s chaos in my hair  
Driving me round and leaving me there  
Cover my eyes and we’ll die driving blind  
Cover my trail and we’ll leave this life behind

Drive blind

Three o’clock on a late Sunday morning  
The candles are burned to their end  
Found the pictures we’ve taken, and now I’ve awakened  
And sleep’s my invisible friend

Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said:  
“Listen son, you’re wasting your time; there’s a future for you  
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!”  
But I remebered a voice from the past;  
“Gambling only pays when you’re winning”  
I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure  
Keep them mowing blades sharp…

Well, we got no class  
And we got no principals  
And we got no innocence  
We can’t even think of a word that rhymes

School’s out for summer  
School’s out forever  
My school’s been blown to pieces

Here comes the helicopter - second time today  
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away  
How many kids they’ve murdered only God can say  
If I had a rocket launcher…I’d make somebody pay

Long distance century buzzes and fades  
I hope the deaf can lead the blind  
Now lift me up into your whirling blades  
I’ve got to grind, grind this out  
I’ve got to grind, grind it out

Long distance runaround  
Long time waiting to feel the sound  
I still remember the dream there  
I still remember the time you said goodbye  
Did we really tell lies?  
Letting in the sunshine  
Did we really count to one hundred?

You deserve a chance at the kind of love  
I’m not sure I’m worthy of  
Losing you is painful to me

I don’t wanna let you down  
I don’t wanna lead you on  
I don’t wanna hold you back from where you might belong

You would never ask me why  
My heart is so disguised  
I just can’t live a lie anymore  
I would rather hurt myself  
Than to ever make you cry  
There’s nothing left to say  
But goodbye

Don’t let me down, don’t let me down  
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down

Nobody ever loved me like she does  
Oh, she does, yes, she does

Oh, she do me, yes, she does

Yesterday life behind you  
So sick of all the people  
A blind moon

Over to the window  
Where the night has become  
Elizium for the sleepless souls  
And our days to come

You stand  
Stand with Dalila  
Maybe I’ll just pass away  
Or maybe I’ll stay

But I fell alive with you  
And I fell some kind of heaven  
When I fell deep inside her  
I fell some kind of heaven

In my nightmare you forgive me  
The cruellest gift you could ever give me  
You say that you understand me now  
But your eyes say, brother, I’ll get you somehow  
And then the lightning streaks across the room  
You smell like something fresh from the tomb  
You squeeze too hard, you insist on kissing  
When it seems like half your face is missing  
And your hair’s turned into reptiles hissing

And I can’t wake up to save my life.
