He put a new song in my mouth,
A song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me, take me now
Before I change my mind
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don’t believe
I wanna to see the morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin’ home son
I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then, Dad
We’re gonna have a good time then
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he’s in love with the girl in the world
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She’s the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry;
Still, you don’t regret a single day.
Ah girl! Girl! Girl!
I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May
Well I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ 'bout my girl (my girl)
Ever since I met you,
You 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.
You’ve never done a day’s work in your life, you’ve got no incentive.
You’ve made a career out of punting off all of the men you’ve slept with.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we’ve done and can’t undo
I just want to hold you, won’t let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
In you I have what other men long for
All men need someone to worship and adore
That’s why I treasure you and place you high above
For the only joy in life is to be loved
So whatever you do, Bernadette
Keep on loving me
Bernadette, keep on needing me
Bernadette
There’s a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere…
A time for us, someday there’ll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that’s free
A time when dreams, so long denied
Can flourish as we unveil the love we now must hide
I dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again, he never said a word.
As if he hadn’t heard.
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Well I know he’s not old
And I’m told, and I’m told he’s a virgin
For he may be she
What I’m told; and I’m never, never for certain
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
You’ll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You’ll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
McGuinn and McGuire couldn’t get no higher
But that’s what they were aimin’ at
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
