We are children of the future
Wonder where this world is going to,
We are children of the future
Wonder what in this world we are going to do
When the world swallows whole
all you’ve known
there are no landmarks
you can recognise
Where is the jewel that will never fade,
that will not decay with old age?
Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we’d like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee…
Hell’s Bells, Satan’s comin’ to you
Hell’s Bells, he’s ringing them now
Hell’s Bells, the temperature’s high
Hell’s Bells, across the sky
Hell’s Bells, they’re takin’ you down
Hell’s Bells, they’re draggin’ you around
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
I don’t know, but I been told
Music makes you lose control
Work your body to the beat
Bodywork will set you free
I love you cos you’re sweet and I love you cos you’re naughty
I love you for you mind but give me your body
I wanna be a toy at your birthday party
Wind me up - wind me up - wind me up - let me go -
You don’t have to say you love me
just be close at hand
You don’t have to stay forever
I will understand.
They call it understanding,
Understanding,
A willingness to grow,
I’m finally understanding,
There’s so much I could know.
Just between us
I think it’s time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show
Just between us
I think it’s time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow
I wish you good spaces
in the faraway places you go
If it rains or it snows
May you be safe and warm
And never grow old
In the event
that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion
and we never get old
Remember it’s true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
Ha, ha, ha. Hee, hee, hee.
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me.
Said the laughing gnome.
The battle’s over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell
On top of the sky is a place where you go,
If you’ve done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go,
If you’ve been a bad boy
Why can’t we have eternal life
And never die?
Don’t hang on,
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away,
And all your money won’t another minute buy.
Don’t get me wrong
Try getting me right
Your face is okay
But your purse is too tight
I’m looking for pound notes, loose change
Bad checks, anything
Gimme your money
I was cleaned and skinned and so hard-pressed
I called the woman that I love the best
I finally reached my baby 'bout a half past three
She said, “I’d like to know what you want with me.”
I said, “Money, honey!
Money, honey!
Money, honey,
If you wanna get along with me.”
If you’ve got the money honey I’ve got the time
we’ll go honky tonkin’ and we’ll have a time
we’ll have more fun baby on the way down the line
if you’ve got the money
honey I’ve got the time
I ain’t sayin’ she’s a golddigger
But she ain’t messin’ with no broke nigga
