I can see clearly now,
The rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way…
I know you’ve deceived me, now here’s a surprise,
I know that you have 'cause there’s magic in my eyes.
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles…
Oh! Broadway’s where famous people go.
Though being famous doesn’t mean that you
Will get a good review
So Alec, write Ben Brantley if you want
That’s entertaining too.
We’ve got magic to do!
Give my regards to Broadway,
Remember me at Herald square…
We are the folk song army
Everyone of us cares
We all hate poverty, war and injustice
Unlike the rest of you squares
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y’all
And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
Came up to the top of my head.
And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul,
Here is what it said:
“This man is nothing! This course is nothing!
If you want something, go find another class…”
But a part of me will never be free
And the part that’s free will never be me
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head
A message from our enemies, and here’s what they said:
They said that
Love = Hate
And Death = Fate
An Enemy always = An Adorer
But Priest = Aura
[there’s more, but I’ll probably run afoul of the too-much copied and pasted rule…]
Now all the vampires walkin’ through the valley
Move west down Ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts
Now I’m free
I’m free fallin’
Yeah, I’m free
Free fallin’
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
And that’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain’t missing you at all
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
When the night is closing
Eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
The sign I see it
Tell me am I true
All I need from you is
All I see
And the sign said:
“The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence.”
Sign, sign everywhere a sign,
Blockin’ out the scenery,
Beakin’ my mind.
Do this, don’t do that,
Can’t you read the signs?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes,
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you,
You don’t need no make-up, don’t have to pretend.
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understanding; Seymour’s your friend.
Suddenly I see,
Suddenly I see,
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see,
Suddenly I see,
Why the hell it means so much to me…
One summer never ends
One summer never began
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly last summer
Though we gotta say goodbye, for the summer,
Baby, I promise you this–
I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter.
Sealed with a kiss.
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home
Oh, my baby just a-wrote me a letter
