Free as a bird
It’s the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
La, la, la, la
Home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much
It always made me feel so
Free as a bird
I’m sitting in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination,
On a tour of one-night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand,
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band,
Homeward bound, I wish I was–
Homeward bound…
Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can’t hear you in this noisy railroad station all alone
I’m feeling low
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home
This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don’t carry no gamblers,
Liars, thieves, nor big shot ramblers,
This train is bound for glory, this train.

Gonna tell all you fascists you may be surprised
People all over this world are getting organized
You’re bound to lose you fascists are bound to lose
People of every color marching side by side
Marching 'cross the fields where the million fascists died
You’re bound to lose you fascists are bound to lose
(also Woody Guthrie)
Tails of sin,
Only evil remains,
Watch out Brother for that long black train…
It’s love, Brother Love say
Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
Brother Love’s show
So you
Thought you
Might like to go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion;
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what’s behind these cold eyes,
You’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
Tonight we’ll kick the footlights out,
And walk away without a curtain call…
Overture, curtain, lights,
This is it, the night of nights,
No more rehearsing and nursing a part,
We know every part by heart…
So come on, come on, come on, come on
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
“Heart Of My Heart”, I love that melody
“Heart Of My Heart” brings back a memory
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
I was beautiful then
Midnight
And I’m a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it’ll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight
You’re just a heartache in disguise
Won’t you keep my heart from breaking
If it’s only for a very short time
Playing with the Queen of Hearts
Knowing it ain’t really smart
The Joker ain’t the only fool
Who’ll do anything for you
'Cause I’m a picker, I’m a grinner,
I’m a lover, and I’m a sinner.
I play my music in the sun.
I’m a joker, I’m a smoker,.
I’m a midnight toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one.
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief
We gotta get out of this place
If it’s the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there’s a better life for me and you
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too
There’s gotta be something better than this,
There’s gotta be something better to do.
And when I find me something better to do,
I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out
I’m gonna get up, get out and do it!
There’s gotta be some respectable trade,
There’s gotta be something easy to learn.
And if I find me something a halfwit can learn,
I’m gonna get up, I’m gonna get out
I’m gonna get up, get out and learn it!
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, and did I tell you that I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
