Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Ever since I met you, you’ve turned my world around
You’re my best friend and my lover
We’re like changing electric and magnetic fields;
you can’t have one, without the other
I couldn’t have imagined how good my life would get
From the moment that I met you, Bernadette
Oh, we couldn’t have imagined, how good our lives would get
From the moment that we met you, Bernadette
I can’t get a job, Bernadette,
So all that I can offer are a lot of bad debts
If you marry me, Bernadette,
You’ll lose the alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
MacDuff an’ MacVitie were playin’ a game, an’ usin’ MacCoy for the ball.
MacKenna was eatin’ the bridal bouquet, an’ MacNeil hung on the wall.
When finally my father came, his eyes were red, his nose aflame.
He dinna even know his name; he was drunkest of them all.
The people were lyin’ all over the room a’lookin’ as if they were dead,
Then mother uncovered the minister quick, an’ she told ‘im: Go ahead.
Then pa kneeled down on Bill MacRae, an’ mother kneeled on Jock MacKay,
The preacher stood on John MacVay, and that’s how my ma was wed.
It was a sight beyond compare. I ought to know, for I was there.
There never was a day as rare as her mother’s weddin’ day!
Oh! Mactavish is dead
And his brother don’t know it.
His brother is dead
And Mactavish don’t know it.
They’re both of them dead
And they’re in the same bed,
And neither one knows
That the other is dead!
Root of mandrake, dug at night
When the moon is full and bright
Slip of yew and twig of fern
Make the fire dance and burn
For our will it will be done
When the hurlyburly’s done
Double, double trouble
You bubble in a witches’ brew
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
(In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here’s what they say)
When a moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That’s amore
When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine
That’s amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you’ll sing “Vita bella”
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout,
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes
Crawls in your stomach and out your sides.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You’ll spread it on a slice of bread,
And that’s what you eat when you are dead.
All Dead All Dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All Dead All Dead
And alone I’m spared
My sweeter half instead
All Dead
And Gone
All Dead…
What do you say to the dead?
Will you forgive me for living?
Can’t believe the things that they said
Wonderful day for a killing
It’s killing me
It was an ordinary day, people walking…all over me again
Then suddenly to my dismay out of no where my heart started talking to my brain
What a great day for a murder but I’m not in a killing mood
What a great day to reek vengeance but I know it will do no good
Dear Diary,
It was cold today.
But the sun came out later, so I went out and strolled about looking at the shops.
Didn’t really see anything I liked, so I didn’t buy anything.
On the way home, I posted a letter.
Been quite a nice day.
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today,
But it wasn’t anybody I knew.
When I saw mushroom head,
When I saw mushroom head,
When I saw mushroom head,
When I saw mushroom head,
I was born and I was dead.
We will all go together when we go.
Ev’ry hottenhot and ev’ry eskimo.
When the air becomes uranious,
And we will all go simultaneous.
Yes we all will go together
When we all go together,
Yes we all will go together when we go.
And I don’t want to hold her down
Don’t want to break her crown
When she says, let’s go
Time keeps ticking - tick tick tock
Can’t stop now just keep on pushing
I’ve got a feeling something’s changing
I’m gonna find this feeling somewhere
Let’s all go to the fire dances
Let’s all go to the fire dances
[ok, Killing Joke time it is…]
You’ve opened the pit
Honesty is sick
You try to be honest
Look what you get
The foods run short
And then the money talks
One way out
Your premonition is correct
A war dance
It doesn’t matter if we turn to dust
Turn and turn and turn we must
I guess I’ll see you dancin’ in the ruins tonight
Dancin’ in the ruins
Guess I’ll see you dancin’ in the ruins tonight
