Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ 'bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us
Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I’m your captain, I’m your captain
Though I’m feeling mighty sick
I’ve been lost now for days uncounted
And it’s months since I’ve seen home
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?
(playing off of ‘feeling’ in the prior lyric)
See me,
Feel me,
Touch me,
Heal me.

“And when I get that feeling i want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me
makesme feel so fine
its such a rush
helps to relieve the mind
and its good for us”

Marvin Gaye
Like a virgin
Oh, like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me
And your heart beats
And you love me
Well, my heart beat like a hammer
My eyes plumb full of tears
Yes, my heart beat like a hammer
My eyes plumb full of tears
She’s been gone about an hour
But it seems like a thousand years
There’s a hammer in my heart
Pounding out your name
There’s a hammer in my heart
Here it comes again
I hear a certain sound
And it just won’t go away
It sends a message out
What’s it gonna be today?
It wakes me up at dawn
And as the day goes on
I try to turn it off
But the beat goes on
“Hammer in My Heart,” Utopia
Well, I’ve got a hammer
And I’ve got a bell
And I’ve got a song to sing
All over this land
It’s the hammer of justice
It’s the bell of freedom
It’s a song about love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
“Goodnight, now it’s time to go home”
Then he makes it fast with one more thing

When the shows were over
We had to get back home
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone
All alone, I’m so all alone
There is no one else, but you
All alone, by the telephone
Waiting for a ring-a-ting-a-ling
I’m all alone, every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Hey, baby, I’m your telephone man
You just show me where you want it
And I’ll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom
I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom
I can hang it on the wall
I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall
If you don’t answer, I’ll just ring it off the wall
I know he’s there, but I just had to call
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
I just called to say I love you,
I just called to say how much I care.
I just called to say I love you,
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
-“BB”-
Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That’s what I’d say, I’d tell you everything
If you’d pick up that telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sylvia’s mother says Sylvia’s busy
Too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia’s mother says Sylvia’s trying
To start a new life of her own
Sylvia’s mother says Sylvia’s happy
So why don’t you leave her alone?
And the operator says forty cents more
For the next three minutes
Who is Sylvia? What is she
that all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her
that she might admirèd be.
I saw you, sir, taking a look at her,
As she went strolling by.
Now didn’t your heart go boom-de-boom-de-boom,
And didn’t you stop and sigh?
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window, I’m staring while my coffee goes cold
Look over there (Where?)
There, there’s a lady that I used to know
She’s married now or engaged or something, so I’m told
Then along come somebody not suspectin’ nothin’
Harry jump out of the bushes all of a sudden
Beat on his chest, jump up and down and he say
“Woo hoo hee hee hoo hoo”
Which is Harry ape talk for
“Boo, I betcha I scared you, ha ha”
